The mother, being a fleshy woman, was with difficulty extricated; be sides, the wounded Jacob had to be assisted, and by the time the family were all out they were surrounded, were all easily captured except Joseph who, be ing swift-footed like a deer, circled around, eluded them and ran up the hill, followed by two Indians who had thrown their guns away, determined to take him alive. He easily outran them and beholding them give up the chase and return to the burning building, he dropped down behind a log. It happened that one of the Indians observed him, but they hastened to the scene of car nage. The son Jacob and the daughter were tomahawked and scalped. But the mother, against whom they seemed to have a particular spite, was stabbed to the heart with a butcher knife and was scalped.
