Delaney’s and set out for Fort Pitt for safety. 0n athvmg at Delaney’s they found Big Bear shaking hands With all and making Inn-sell particularly friendly. assuring them ihai the rumors in refer- ence to Duck Lake Were talse, and that the villagers were qu‘te safe. Their excitement was somewhat calmed. Next morning they found that all their horses had been stolen by the Indians. Their escape was cut ofl'. In a few minutes Big Bear and his Indians dressed in war paint and yelling at every step took possession oi the houses and Went through all the cupboards iii search of something to eat. They then made Mrs. Delaney get breakfast tor them and during the ineal kept telling the whites not to be afraid but to eat plenty. After bleak- fast they made a piocession and esCorted ‘ ‘ them over to the little church. Mr and Mrs. Gowanlock arm in arm and Mr and Mrs, Delaney and the others walking behind them. When the procession reached the church the priests were hold- ing mass. Wandering szritn Big Bear’s friend and really a worse manâ€"sat on his knees at the door as they entered, his whole countenance covered with a fiendish look.

An Indian then came and told them they Were wanted outside. As they went along with fearful preiuonitions of evil they heard shots troni behind. The first to fall were Quin, Dill and Gilcrist. An old man of the name of Williscraft, seventyfive years of age, while running received a shot that knocked off his list. He cried out, “ Oh ! don’t shoot l ” The Indians fired again and he fell dead among the bushes. Mrs. Gowanlock on seeing: this began to cry. Her husband tried to comiort her saying “ Mv wtfe be brave to the and.” when an Indian from behind shot, and he fell dragging his Wife with him to the ground, Mrs. Gowunlock expecting every moment to share the same fate.
