In these various villages resided portloTis of

Settlers Ijl\od in Penr.
Although llio-o , few piimilivo sottlcrs ex
perienced ininy huidships and discourage-
mcnts , nothing of a startling character
occurred until IMU. It was on October 14 ol
that jenr when Ponca , then a village of per
haps foitv people , was suddenly turned into
a state of wild excitement and her usually
quiet stieats weio filled with temlieil men ,
women and children.
Tl.o connlrj between Ponca nnd Niobrara
at Unit d Uo was vei } sp.usely settled Only
at great dlstat'ces iipait could the homo-
steaderb' cabins bo seen , and only now and
th"ii < ould bu found thu soil turned over for
cultivation. These who had drifted from the
east niui located in this stup of co intiy wcro
forced to conlro it th3 usual disadvantages
of pioneer existence , and many ob t iclos full
in Iheii paths to thwail Uieir hopes and In
tentions. This was thoear In
which the IniMun outbreak tooic
place in Mlnncsot i and Dakota , thus
creating discontent among all the tribes over
the countiv. Uich night duiing this threat
ening peiiod the families in their lonely
cabins knew it was possible that before the
dawn of tlio following morning they would
bo tomahawked and scalped and their homos
leduced to ashes Their fcais increised as
the das went by , but , uiiwillmg to abandon
all their worldlj possessions , they icmained ,
only hoping for the armal of the time when
the savages would bo quelled and peace and
ssfoty restored.
In October of the year in question , a
fuondly Wtnnobacohalf biood Indian passed
thioiiBh these settlements soiitteiing the
news that an immense num hoi of Sioux
wuriiors wore appioachttig , leaving In their
trail qie.it destination to lues and propeity ,
burn in tr nouses and mussacilng the inmates
So teniblo u rcnoiL of imminent dai'ger cir-
ried dismay into every household and caused
the strongest hoaits to quail On icceiptof
this nwo inspliing news the question aiose
in the hoinestcudei's mind is to what couiso
should bo pursued to boat socuio piotection
against the approachmp danger.
Driven IVnm Tlieir itomi-H.
In I'onca , on the Octobei day above men
tioned , nbout 5 oVIoek in the afternoon , Mr.
M. Q. DcAgloy , the only inoichaut of the
town , was in the act of closing his place of
business for the night , when ho heard the
din of wagon wheels and the tiampof hoises ,
and in the com bo of a few moments a long
ti.iin of wagons , ono ufturnnothor , appealed ,
coming over the hills which sltiit the town OM
the west. Mi. DoAgley , Icnowing of the
Indian outbreak , although at a considoiublo
distance , was stricken by the fear that the
moving wagons were those of the ted
men and that they woto stored
wuh the plunucr i ( taped , from the
iiiial bottlers , and that In ambuscade lay the
w.nriors , waiting for darkness to come , when
I'onca should bo spoliated , her inhabitants
Btnlpcd and noi few mdo dwellings and onsi-
nets houses swept away in smoke. Mr Do
Acloy wont forthwith to btuto his foais to
his neighbois , and to assist them In promra-
tlons for defense against tbo danger which
SLQined to be pending. But before ho could
malco the lounds the streets woio thronged
with wagons , occupied not by In
dians , but by liomostcaL'erj ' who had
been" impelled to m.iKo an exodus for
the east by the lopoit that tne Sioux savages ,
were marching "on Niobiar.i , and wcio
designing to wipe out that place , as well as
all the white settlements between there unit
Sioux City.
It seems that a man named C. G. Smith ,
who lives about eight miles south
of Niobiara , was the llrst recipient
of the exciting news , mid without hesitation ,
ho gathered into his wagon his family ,
together w lib all the provisions , grain and
household goods that ho could conveniently
cany , and immediately started out In ah
eastern direction , Thu uwelleis in the llrst
cabin which ho reached on his join nny vet y
willing ! } adopted his plan , and also loaded
iheii wagons with poitlons of their scanty
wealth and tollowoi on his onstein oxodus.
In bilof , each pioneer along the road did the
siime , until , when the company entered
Ponra , It consisted of about sixty teams and
MO poisons.
r < n mod a Scouting I'aity.
The good people of this town , loth to see
tlio desoition ot such a rich teirlloiy , en-
couiugcu tlio settlers to halt at this point
and consider what , under the circumstances ,
would bo best to do. A public meeting was
held on that evening to consider the matter.
It was an uxcillnr gathering. KnUiushistic
speeches weru made , some mitntalnirig that
if they remained In ibis coiintiv tholr lives
would bo in peril , while othes held Una the
report might bo oxaggoiatud and would boar
Investigation.
After a careful and thorough discussion of
the question It was concluded to orgunuo a
corps of horsemen and loavu the next morn
ing for an examination of the ter
ritory between 1'oncii and Niobrain ,
Those who could host leave their
families woio chosen to make up this
company of acouts which otnbrncc'd about
slxtv ol the most hulo and vlgotous joung
men The visitors wcio piov Idod with quar
ters for the night , barns and i-olliirt being
converted into places of lodging. Hvoivbody
arose eaily the iinxt morning to piiipiuo for
the departure of the military force. However -
over , tlio arrangements were not very ex-
ton.iive , consisting mainly in obtaining a
Minieleiit number of guns and horses.
About y o'clock u m , thov assembled , and
after electing us general A. L Merger , and
after an exchange of noinu puling words
with their iclutivcs and tilcnds. the gallant
company rode away I'luough u wild coun
try , and ono especially gloom } on thulr route
tluough the forest along tno .Missouri , the
company pursued its co rso toward Isiobiura ,
At any moment the men , knowing tlio Indian
8t\lo of warfare , would not hiuo been sur-
pilscd to see thu enemy spring from Bomo
