There lived in Detroit, Michigan, a woman so little known, even to the people on the block in which she lived, that the crape on the door was the first warning many of them had that she had been ill. It was the widow Hutley, and living in the same cottage, and made a widow at t'te same time, was Mrs. Ebberts. As thß trial of John D. Lee brought back to public recollections the horrors of pioneer life in the West, the death of Mrs. llutley may again uncover that page of history on which was written the Indian massacres of f roc tier settlers in Minnesota. Both widows were vic tims of that brief and bloody strife which desolated so many cabins on that picket line of civilization. History forgot to record their names aud their heroism. Let both be chronicled here. STORY OF THE MASSACRE. When the frontier troubles began the two widows were wives and mothers, living in log cabins about a mile apart. These two .cabins were the only ones for three or four miles either wav, aud when the con duct of the indians became so sus picious that prudeuce counselled re moval from the frontier the Ebberts family left their boino and consoli dated with the Hullejß for mutual defence. Each family had two chil dren, making eight persons in the cabin. Ths Indians had tlms far molested no one, but there were fierce and surly looks, skulked about as if keeping watch on the settlers, and the pioneers were living in a state of excitement and apprehen sion. One day, when the women had occupied the same cabin for two weeks, Mr. Hutley started for a set tlement seven miles distant to pro cure provisions, leaving Mr. Ebbert to guard the cabin. All outdoor work had ceased. If the pioneer moved outside of the barricaded ca bin his life eas carried in his h&ud, and bis eyes were on the alert to de tect the presence of the expected foe. AM UNHAPPY QUARREL. The average woman can sever the ties of friendship, or rise superior to the perils of the hour to carry her point. Mr. llutley had not been gone an hour when the children* rendered nervous and irritable by their close confinement engaged in a quarrel. The eldest child was only five, so that no great physical dam age could hive been inflicted, but the quarrel angered the mothers ; harsh words passed and Mrs. Eb berts declared that she would not re main in the Hutley cabin another hour. Her husband was weak mind ed enough to share iu her feeling, and immediately preparations were made to return aud occupy his own cabin. He took the bed on his bacu, and the oldest child by the hand and started for home, leaving his wife to follow on with iiis rifle and the other child. Anger brought on such a spirit of recklessness that the man no longer feared any danger. Mrs. Ebberts did not immediately follow, having to make up a bundle of little articles, and, the husband had about twenty minutes' start of her. While both women were heartily ashamed of their silly conduct five minutes after their hot words bad been spo ken, jet neither would be the first to make conciliatory advances, aud Mrs. Hutley stood in her cabin door and saw Mrs. Ebberts and child dis appear in the forest. TIIE CRACK OF TIIE RIFLE. Just as she lost sight of thena she heard the leport of rifles and faint yells in the direction of the other eabin, and she instantly divined that the long expected blow had fallen. Forgetting everything but the fait that her neighbors were in peril, she took down the spare rifle which her husband had provided, and which she knew how to use, warned lie r e'aildren not to leave the cabjn, and in two or three minutes she was running through the woods after Mrs. Ebberts. It subsequently ap peared that Ebberts had just reached his home when he was attacked by a band of at least fifty Indians. The child was shot dead at the first vol ley, but the father prolonged his life for a few minutes by dodging from tree to tree. Ilia wife was within eighty rods of him when he was killed. She heard the firing and whooping, and, while prudenee warned her to retreat, her love forc ed her ou to join her husband. The Indians had caught sight of her and opened fire when Mrs. Hutley came up. FBMAI.E HEROISM. History will never record a braver deed. Rendered desperate by the al most certaiu knowledge '..hut her husband and one jhild hail been murdered Mrs. Ebberts was like a tigress. She had her husband's rifle, and for a time the two lone women held that entire baud of sav ages at-hay. Nay, more than that, they killed three of the redskins and wounded two more, as the Indians afterward admitted. When they found that the plan was to surround them they fell back. Between that point and the cabin tlie child was killed. The women carried the body for a few rods, but the close pur suit obliged them to drop it. A NEW IIORROR. A new horror awaited them as they entered the cabin. The demons had already been there. The oldest child was dead on the flooi, its head almost severed from the bodv, aud lhe youngest had been carried away. Two Indians were still in the house, making preparations to burn it. One made a safe escape, but the other was shot down by Mrs. Bb berts as he cleared the dw.atep. There was no time to remember the scalped aud mutilated bodies in the forest. The Indians were at the door almost before the dark >cdy at the step had ceased quivering. It WHS a stout cabin, having more strength, than convenience. Logs and roof were uot yet seasoned enough to buru, and the single win dow was protected by a heavy blind. The redskins knew that there were only two women in the house, and they dashed at it and swaraied around it as wolves would surround a helpless doe. STORY OF THE SURVIVOR. "Mrs. llutley was as pale as death and her hand trembled as she loaded the rifle, but her eyes shone like fire aud she bit her lips till the blod came. I suppose I was half crazed, for I wanted to open the door and fight the whole baud." Thus says the survivor, whose story of the terrible affair is as clear as the page of a book. The excite ment was too great for the women to plau a defence, but both under stood that the In liana must be bea ten off. There were two loopholas in the door and others in the walls. While the savages were massing against the door two of them were badly wounded from within, and soon thereafter one was killed from a loophole In the walL Discovering that they had perilous work on hand the Indians drew off and took covet behind logs, stumps and trees, and for an hour they fired at the loop holes, hoping that a chance siiot might kill or wound. Their bullets were simply thrown away, and the effort to fire the roof was time spent for nothing. A FEARFUL DAY AND NIGHT. AH day long the siege was main tained. and when darknees fell the women realized that it was to be the longest night of their lives. A child dead in the cabin, another carried away, a husband and two children dead in the woods, and the little clearing was alive with human devils seeking the blood of the two despe rate defenders. Says Mrs. Ebberts : "My nerves were strung up till 1 felt every minute as it I must toss up my arms and scream out to re lieve the agony of my heart, and Mrs. Hutley was suffering just HH badly. At one time she would be wailing and sobbing over the poor dead body on the floor, and then again she would stand at one of tt>e loopholes, her face so white that I could see it through the darkness It WAS as still as death outside until about ten o'clock. We were not off our guard at ay, but were beginning to hope thi t the savages had left, when we heard them on the roof At the same moment they plugged up all the loopholes with sticks cut for the purpose. I drove these plugs out with the ax, while Mrs. llutley watched the root. She fired as the Indians made an opening, and we heard a scream of pain. There were no further demonstrations un til an hour before daylight, though we beard the wretches creeping around the cabin. BATTERING THE DOOR. "As the night was wearing away they brought up a log and battered in the door. We had warning and were ready. As the Indians rushed into theopening we both fired. They eame faster and thicker, but Mrs. Hutley went at them with the axe and 1 with a knife, and we drove them out. It was all over in a min ute. I remember the shouts and yells ; they got hold of me I heard the axe chopping at them and then we were alone again." AID AT DA ST. At daylight the Indians drew off, warned that aid for the women was at hand. Hutley never reached the settlement for which he started. Weeks afterward Ma dead body was found 1n the woods, while bis scalp ornamented some warrior's dress. The heroines were rendered child lees and widowed in one day, for the child carried away has never been heard of, and while one received a slnali across the face iu the terrible fight to clear the cabin the other was wounded by a bullet at the same mo ment. They came to Detroit yea**® ago to lie near friends, but long ago Mrs. llutley becamecraied with hergrinf, atil for years Mis. Ebberts has been I a nervous wreck, starting up in | alarm at the slightest sonud and un i aide to sleep for more than a few J minutes at a time. During the lust i five years of her life Mrs. llutley wandered up and down searching for lier child aud stopping pedes triaus to ask for her husband, and tears came to the eyes of strangers as they saw the poor wreck at Hit gate and heard her call:— "Come liack, Mrs. Ebberts 1 Come back aud Til ask your forgiveue**!" 1 ♦♦ * A SCHOOLBOY'S REV EN OF.— Judge Piltiuait's bov bill acq med learning in a log schooluouse. At one place the plaster between the logs is broken away, and through this aperture Hill endeavored to c* cape feet foremost during school hours one uay last summer. Unfor tunately, he stuck fast when hall way through, and he could neither run nor retreat. When the atum tion of Mr. Simes, the teacher, was directed to I lie culprit, Mr. Sunt* pr ceeded to the eiterior of the edi lice, and embraced the opportunity afforded by William's position to hammer him with a sbmgle. Then young Mr. Pitman was pulied out and plunged into sums iu vulgar frac ions. Near the schoolhouse there is a millnice, at the end of which tlier*- is a sluice-gate. linmedi iU ly Mow the gate there is a huge deep tank, which carries the water to the uu der-shot wneel. The inside of the tank is greeu and slimy, and when the water is drawn carefully ont of it a great many fish can often be found lying on the bottom. The lank is fifteen faH deep. A few day's after the flogging Bill happened to pass the tank and looked in. He saw Mr. Simes at the bottom, pick ing up Ash and putting them into a bag. William felt that the hour of vengence had struck. lie turned the handle of the sluice-gate, and in less than a minute that jolly old pe dagogue was floundering iu six feet of water, trying in vain to clamber up the slimy sides of the tank. When he saw young Pitman ho shrieked for help. But Bill, with a fiendish coolness, said, "No, sir ; vou've got to trtad eater till you promise never to lick me agiiu." Then Simes solemnly pledged him self never to strike another blow at him, and Bill let the water from the tank, and helped Simes out. The night when Bill got home he found Simes there conversing with the judge, and five minutes later the judge was fondling William with a trunk strap, while Simes sat by and smiled. William tuft since expressed the opinion confidentially that Simes is a perfidious scoundrel. ■ s A ♦ ♦ • ■ ■ ■■ ■■ DIDN'T STAND TIIE TEST,—A young man read iu a paper a few days ago that if you wanted to find out if the woman you had selected for vour future spouso had a good temper you ought to take occasion to step on her dress, or snap the sticks of her fan, or in some wav aunov or discompose her. "It," stud the great authority who pre sides over the column of advice. "If she betrays no sign of ill tern per, she will prove a model wife." Ae coidiugly the voting man seiz-d an opportunity wiieu his sweetheart was rigged in her most killing array o step on her trail and pull out about three yards of gathers, with a rip like a peul of thunder, exposing about three quarters of the frame work that makes her dress stick out behind. But instead of meet ing the accident with perfect equan imity, she turned round and jahhed her parasol in iiis ey-, called him a long haired l -aper, and asked him why he didn't wear hia feet side ways. He expressed himself thank ful that lie didn't marry the girl be fore finding out what sort of a tern |>er she had ; but the doctor doesn't think his eve will grow out again. 1 • - • # * Ths L'lck Haven Democrt says, John Bell, on Up|er Jerry's ltun, Cameron county, where ha has a log camp, has in his posession eight live deer, one a flue buck, which he cap tared alive by running them down He captured four inside of three hours and a half. Tt e snow is so deep that deer cannot run. and Mr. Bell caught them by using snow shoes in the chase. He had a se vere struggle with the buck which showed fight. By means of a noose tlwown over his head, and through skill and main strength, he got the buck choked and down and after ty ing him to a tree, got his legs tied, and then got him on a brush and hauled his game into camp, • When he captured the four he had to go back to camp fer kelp to bring iu the animals.
