I'LATTSMOUTH. Nob., .March S. To tho
Kdltor of Tho lleo: In several Issues of
your paper, incluilltiR the Sth,lnt I havo'
read accounts of tho Plum Creek massacre.
All woro substantially correct with tho ox
coptlon of eomu additional facts known to
:nysolf. I was a uiwmber of that parly,
Joining It at Plnttsmouth. I wns hired by
T. H. Ilradley of Sacrnnento, Cal., to take
throui;U two thoroiiRhbred rnco horses ix
vtalllon and a inaro. I was lying at this
point, hnvliiR cotno up tho river from St.
Loud . wnltliiK for soiuo train to pull out
tor California Although tho Morton party
was goliiR to Colorado 1 Joined It because
It was a smnll party, thinking It would
lrvU Mspr than u largo train, and b. plug
later to Join another train going through to
my destination.
On tho morning of tho attack all took
placo substantially as detailed by Mrs.
Stevens. 1 was mounted on tho mare, tho
faster of tho two animals In ray charge.
Just as wo pulled out I stooped down and
caught up a littio girl about 2 years old.
I cannot now remember which ono of tho
party she belonged to, and placed her on tho
saddle In ;front of me.
To show how llttlo things will stay with
ono, 1 remember how sho laughtd and how
h?r hair blow Into my eyes when I kissed
her. I was still carrying her when tho
Indians rushed over tho bluff. At tho first
tiro full ono-half of the men scorned to fall.
An arrow struck my mare In tho shoulder
and sho Immediately began to buck. Hut
being at tho tlmo a professional horse
breaker, I stuck to her and held onto tho
child. 1 knew at onco that all was up, and
saw that my only hope was to get tho niaio
luletcd, and If posslbln run away from tho
Indians. I gave her a vicious dig with tho
spurs, and with one lost Jump, that nigh
unseated too, sho lit Into a run and such
running. Tho pain of tho arrow wound, tho
yelling nnd shouting of tho Indians, seemed
' to lend her wings.
A party of about fifty spilt oft from the
main body and gave chase. I was running
j nway from the stockade and angling townrd
tho creek, hoping to get Into tho brush.
They wcro shooting at mo ns accurately as
. they vould with Ibe speed they were, golns,
tho bullets whistling by, and tho arrows
passed with that peculiar zip, zip, that once
heard Is never forgotten. I bent over tho
child to protect hor. Hor flngora wero
gripped In my whiskers with that strength
peculiar to a child's hands when fastened
on forbidden articles. Wo woro gaining and
I could seo that unless a missile stopped us
wo stood a fair show of getting away.
I ml I nil Miulr a (iuud Shut.
Tho rnco continued this way for, I should
Judge, throo-fourths of a tulle, and f had
placed perhaps li.'O yards between us. I
looked buck over my shoulder and saw
I that the band had come to a stop. Ono In
dian had dismounted, squatted down and
was taking a long nnd careful aim. I in
voluntarily drew my head between my
I shoulders and bent low. A full second be-
I foro I hoard tho crack of tho gun I felt the
maro gather under mo and glvo vent to a
i long-drawn groan, human In Its intensity.
An ounco ball from a hoavy buffalo gun hnd
i pierced her lengthw ise. At tho tlmo wo
I wero Just on tho edgo of a bench, near
j twenty feot high, that hroko over to tho
, creek. Tho maro In hor last dying spring
went clear over, nnd that wns tho last I
know until somctiino In tho night. It was
bright moonlight, and every object was as
plain ns day. To tho left lay tho maro, Just
1 a sho had fallen. I was lying on my back
looking straight up. On tho edge ot tho bar
sat two hugo buffalo -wolves waiting for
their tncal of horse ncsb. Tbey woro held
I
back by tho fear that class of animals en
tertain for man ho long n llfo remains. I
lay thinking, thinking. Ily all my knowl
edge I ought to bo dead.
Ai'ciilllltn fur II In Kftt'llir.
With my hands I raised myself to a sitting
position and tried to arise. 1 hkii saw that
Bomethlng was wrong and that was a broken
leg. I looked around for tho little child.
Sho was nowhero to bo sceu. I gently called,
but received no answer. 1 never heard of
her again until 1 read In Tho Ilec not long
ago that a llttlo girl was found after the
massacre on tho trail. Sho must havo been
the same child.
Tho only way I could afterward account
for my rucapo was lhat tho Indians, twclng
themselves distance!, tried tho effect of a
parting shot, nnd. not knowing tin effect, as
wo went out of sight over tho bar, thought
wo bad escaped and hurried back to share
In the plunder from tho wagons.
At tho time, to my niuddled Imagination,
It Hcompd tho Indians must tUIll be near. I
could hear tho rippling of tho ivutor In tho
creek. Its sound aggravated my Intolerable
thlrwt. PftipltG my broken leg I began to
draw mysolf toward tho creek. Soon I wus
at its edgo and lay and lapped tho water
llko a dog. Then a terrlblo fear camo over
me, a tear that tho Indians would II ml me.
My strongest desire was to hldo myself. I
drew mynelf deep Into a clump of wlllowa
. and laid tbcro several days, I know I be
1 llev sow that my head uust luvo been
hurt, for blanks occurred In which I must
havo been Insensible. Once I heard voices,
probably tho party from the stockado, To
my heated Imagination they wero Indians.
I drew myself deeper into tho brush. At
night 1 would crawl to tho creek and, drink,
drink, drink.
I'oilllcl ! it Do if.
On what must havo been tho third day a
big black dog camo nosing and snlfilng into
tho brush. Ho )tartfd back with a growl
when ho saw me, his hair bristling tho
wrong way. I gave myself up for lost, when
I heard a man's voice sny: "What'H the
matter. Jack?" Tho brush cracked and I
know somo ono wns forcing his way through.
Tlui nolso stopped and then I heard a voice
back of mo hay: "Jack's found a dead
Indian. No, by Jove; he's a white man, and
nllvo, too!" I could but groan. When I
camo to a right knowiedgo of myself I was
lying in a spring wagon and on tho move.
Tho men who found me wero nf a party
bound to Montana. Some wore for taking
mo back to Plum Creek station. Put a
young doctor with tho outfit Insisted If they
did I would dlo without tho caro of n
physician. Ho carried his point. Nor would
ho censcut for them to leave mo this side
of Ogden, but uttpndod mo faithfully to that
place, whence our trnlbi diverged. Ills
. namo was Mcllridc. n Scotchman nnd n
t'klllful surge n, I ni'ver aw him again,
but I certainly owe him my life ami a leg
ono Inch shorter than I's mate When I
I hud fully recovered I worked ray way on
r
to California anil reported to my employer,
Ilradley. His reply was to rail me a 1- n
liar and aeruso mo ot mealing his homes.
Ho had me arrested anil thrown Into Jail,
but had somo difficulty In proving his charge
Fortunately a young fellow who loft the
Montana outfit and came to California with
mo turned up In the nick of time and sub
stantiated my story anil I was turned Ioopp.
Ilroke, I shipped us landsmnn for Australia,
followed up every gold excitement and nf vor
made a cent. Dlsgunted, J loft tho Anti
podes for South Africa. Tried cstrlch farm
ing 'W 1th Indifferent success, pulled out Tor
the Hand on tho first cry of gold, scoured a
valuable reef and worked It with wioocss up
to tho tlmo the war cloud raised. Not wish
ing to fight tho Hngllsh, for I saw their
Inevitable success, I placed my properly In
tho hands of a Frenchman nnd took passage
for America, via Paris, where I Intend to
stay until Great llrltaln establishes Its tm
premacy. 'My ways lay on tho opposite sido of the
globo and I never heard again of the Plum
Creek massacre until here, visiting friends,
I rend the articles In The Dee. I am glad to
know that ethers (neaped beside mysolf.
