BESEIGED BY SAVAGES. The Gallant Defense of a Party of ‘Whites Against Sioux. BLOODY REMINISCENCES OF 18982, A Family in a Stone House—Explos- fons That Created Havoe Among the Redskins—Rescued By Soldiers. New York Sun: QOn the morning o August 18, 1862, as T was carrying a pail of milk from the cow yard to the house, on the farm of William Miller, seven- teen miles from New Ulm, Minn., I saw & covered wagon coming across the rairie as fust as two horses could pull t. I handed the pail into the house, called to Miller and his wife, and by the time we were out doors the wagon had stopped at the gate. It was a vehicle belonging to s man named Baunders, living about nine miles away, and he and his family were inside. We had not yet reached the gate when he shouted : “Fly for your lives; the Indians are on the warpath!” He would have driven off with that, but one of his horses fell down in the harness from exhaustion. There was Saunders, his wife, and four children, aud I never saw people o broken up. It was fully ten minutes before we could get their story in a shape to understand it. The Sioux rebellion, which many ploneers had predicted, had broken out at last. For the past three months we had noticed'a change in the demeanor of the Indians, some of them called at the house almost daily. They had become impudent and thretening, and many of the older settlers were be- coming alarmed. Some would have gi up thy farms, but there ere o few smart Alecks who rode about the country saying there was no danger, and that there were enough soldiers in the forts in the east to thrash all the Indians in the whole west. These men were, as we nfterward found out, inter- ested in the sale of 1 estate, and of course they did not want any sensa- tionnl reports sent east. Bui for th civil war then raging there would have been no uprising of the Indians. Uncle Sam had his hands full in the south, and hundreds of our young men had enlisted to fight the confederates. Suunders had ved wariing at daylight from a settler on horseback, whose whole l‘umll\ had been butch- ered. He was teamste: then con ned 4 part o which he was hauling out to a_stor keeper in o new scttlement. He had unloaded some of the stuff and flung in houschold goodss and prov had dr ‘e s ta exhaust one of his horsc Miller and his wife ( ol and phleg- was invested right there. While they knew that trouble was at hand. they did not want to abandon everything at a mere alarm. We had three horses in the stable. and Saunde begged hard for one to take the place of his exhausted beast. He was bound and determined 10 get on, even if he had to go on foot, and Miller consented tolet the horse go. ‘While he wds being harnessed in Saun- ders asked us to throw out some of the merchandise and hten the vehicle. We took out four kegs of powder, about one hundred pounds of lead, fifty pounds of shot, three double-barrelled shot- guns, and some groceries,and the horse Was no sooner in - the traces than Saun- ders drove off at a gallop. “Well, what shall we do?” asked Mrs. Miller, as we stood looking after the wagon, “Stan and fight,” band. I was then a boy of sixteen and had with the Millers over a year, was never a day but that some of oux came along and in many in- s they hac eaten of our food. Mil- ler did not question the uprising, but he did not think that it was as s L matter as it turned out to be, and with true Dutch grit he proposed to stick. We went into breakfast, ate as heart- ily a8 usual and when we were through mployer said: w, we will get ready for the In- ) matic. Their all replied the hus- As we went out doors we saw three columns of smoke in different directions, showing that the murderous redskins were at work. Miller had 160 acres of land, almost every acresas level as a floor. We had just finished building a milk house over a spring, abut three hundred feet from the hous Around the spring was about two acres of broken ground, underlnid with ' rock, and we had blasted out sufticient of this to lay up the walls of the milk house. Mil was a stonemason By trade.and his work had been well done.’ The house was pretty large, being 18x24 inside the walls, and the walls were perhaps a foot think.* The roof had been planked and then sodded, and the door was of heavy plank. The. place would make a c; ]ulul lort, and while I was carrying into it suoh things as Mrs. Miller directed, the husband used a crowbar to make loop- holes in the walls. In the course of an hour he drove five or si and then he bOI'l‘fl two in the door with a big auger, d in all the provisions in , followed by the clothing and and the b('ddlllg ‘While we worked we kept our eyes open for sight of Indians, but it was 11 o’clock before we saw them coming. They were not more than a mile away when we retired to our fort and barricaded the door. All the live stock had been turned loose and driven away, while the fowls were flying about on the prairie. There was very little left in the house, and the worst they could do was to burn it. When we shut ourselves I missed two of the kegs of powder, but to my query us to what had B e et B I G it no rveply, except by o laugh. He had been wor ing by himself all the forenoon, digging holes and running trenches. but I had been too busy to notice just what he was up to. Theré were thirty-two mounted In- dians in the band which came=up, aud among them they had five fresh scalps. Everyone one had plunder of some sort from the settlors’ cabins, and *two or three appeared much the worse for li- uor. & v had probably seen us enter &u- milk house, for they rode right up to the cabin without fear. We wluh’l sce them very l‘luml), and among the gang we picked several who had often been supplied with food and am- munition. There were yells of rage from those who dismounted and ente ved the house to find it stri -pml but pre: ently a council was held in the one big room. After a few minutes an Indian appeared around the corner of the house with a white rag tied to a stick, nd when he had woyed it o fow times e called out that he wanted “talk. Miller shouted to him to come on, and he advanced to within fifty feet of the fort before he stopped and called out: “All come out. Indians no hurt Dutchman.” “Is there war?” shouted Miller. 'No war—no war, Young me get \ drunk and ride around, but no war. Indians all like Dutchman, ™ LI you like us, then go away, and leave us alone!™ shouted Miller.” Will you come .out?” No. “Then we cattle,” v The Indinns were too anxious to get at their bloody work to waste much tinfe in parleying. The messenger was no sooner under shelter than the gang be- gan to howl and _ whoop, and while some opened fire _ on us from the windows, others made preparations for a bonfire. In about ten nfinutes the house was on fire, and the Indians crowded together on the far side. It was a log house, and the roof fell in before the sides were hardly abluze. The slight wind blew the smoke and sparks directly over us, 80 that we could not see five feet. The Indians continued o yell and dance for a time, but suddenly there was n ter- rific explosion and o dozen screams of terror. 1 was looking into the smoke eloud, which now and then lifted for an instant, and I saw the burning logs of the house seattered to the four winds by the explosion. Miller knew the reds would set the building on fire, and he had placed one of the kegs of powd where it would do the most good. We counted five warriors killed or disabled by the explosion, and Miller killed two otiars balo e the crowd gotoutof range. The house was the bhest shelter from which to \nu-r) us, and they had lost by destroying i The nlu-ngth of our fort could be seen ataglance. The Indians were wise enough not to attempt a rush, and the whole party were also impatient to push on to other scenes. Six or eight more arrived soon after the explosion, and presently we saw them making ready to move off. A general volley was fived at he war whoop was sounded, and the brief siege was raised. It was half an hour béfore we ventured out, and not an Indian was in sight. We could, how- ever, see tall columns of black smoke whichever way we. looked, and it was plain that the whole section was in the hands of the Indians. We could not at first make out why they had left us, but Miller soon concluded that they knew what they were about. We had no means of ¢ eft to us, The savages ide, and if we attempted to leave the neighborhood we should fall into the hands of some of them. 1t was quite safe to leave us there while they pushed on to butcher the defense- less ones. An hour after dinner we were joined by three young men who had been hid- ing. dodging and traveling sinee the evening before, and who had come a dis- tance of twenty miles. They were bachelor homesteaders and all had - fles, revolvers and plenty of ammuni- tion. It was a welcome addition to our party. for we now felt that we would have to stand a siege. Mrs. Miller brought out the pots and_kettles, and cooked dinner on the five ing the open air.and after it was over she began to prepare food for the siege. Pork was boiled, flour stirced into cakes, coffee made and put into jugs, and before night sho had food enough to last a dozen men aweek, Meanwhile the rest of us ha not been idle. Some large sunk in the earth before the ( ing space enough for only one y come at us ata time that way. Fou loopholes were made in the walls, and then the planking of the roof was loap- holed by means of the augur in at least 3 s. 1 now saw what Miller had been *up to the day before. He had put_in no less than three powder mines in the vicinity, ranning a slow match to each one. The only cover the Indians could have in the neighborhood was in the rear of the fort, where had mined the rock. We had le hole, which was a natural rifle pit. our loopholes did not command it. ’I‘hr\' would be sure to oceupy this place, and the men prepared a torpedo holding fif- teen pounds of powder, and hid it under the rocks and dirt on the brink of the pit. A trench was then dug to and un- der the wall of the milk house, and by means of boards a train of powder was laid, When the earth had been filled in again no one could have told it had been disturbed. We were as ready as we could be_at 6 o'clock, but the sun was just going down when we saw the Indians approaching. By that time more than 3,000 settlers had been butchered or ven from their homes, and the war which sweep over an extent of countr, miles long and sixty broad, and ala; 30,000 settle nd opened in all it o band which now ap- numbered only sixtee as soon as they v our d a few shots at long sed on to the east. At »d the fort, arranged the isions to give usall the burn house and kill all leav- strength th range and p: dark we entel goods and pre room possible, and by and by turned in to sleep while one man was left on watch. This was Miller. He was to watch until midnight, and then call one of the young men, but at 11 o'clock he quietly aroused the garvison and whis- pered the news L R o of Indians had arvived. Wo were searcely awake before being made aware that our fort was being closely in- spected by spies. When we had cargfully pulled the plugs from the loop- holes we could see and hear them mov- ing about in large numbers. By and b, wo heard a number of them on the roof. Then were pyobubly investigating to sce how to burn us out. At asignal from Miller we took up our guns, care- fully poked the muzzles through the 1....mm§(-. in the planks and at another signal all fired, We kilted or wounded two Indians by the volley, andthe oth- ers hustily eeparted. Half an hour later two or three of the reds crept up to the barricade in frontof our door with arms full of light wood and started a fire. Tee posts were only half oned andall that afternoon I kept them wet h water. They char alittle un- the flame but-the fire would not hold. From the number of Ind ians we see, and to judge by the yells of those outof sight.our enemiesnumbe at least fifty. After trying us with five they drew off to wait for daylight, and the the most of themprobably went to sleep. When daylight came onr enemies were re-enforced by a band of twelve, and these new comers brought with them two sottlers’ teams and wagons and three prisoners. Two of the prisoners, a man and woman, were l\\‘ll«d s000 after coming up, I knew the man, He lived about eight miles away, and had lled at our house. The third prisoner was a settler none of us knew. About an hour after daylight the sent him forward with a to demand our surrender. He came up within thirty feet of our barvicade, and th alted and told us what he had b ) J . A dozen or more Indians had their rifles on hiu y to shoot in case he at- tempted to play them false. He was a bigf powerful fellow. and I never saw such grief and anxiety in u human countenance, [ra voice loud enough for the Indians to hear, he demanded our surrender, but in whispers he warned us hot 10, a8 every one of us would be butchered. Mil- ler replied to him from a loop- hole, telling him to go back to the In- dians and ask thoir best terms. When he returned he was to come as close ns possible, and at a signal he was to spring forward, and the door would be sl Al & e '-hfl’v.uflbf-lm&mw THE OMAHA DAILY BEE open for hilm, He was a pretty cool fellow, in spite of all his sufferings. - He returned to the Indians, ulted for a utes, and when me hack to us he approached within twenty-five feet before they shouted to him to halt. Then he told us that we would be per- mitted to take one of the teams and leaye the country: that the Indians all loved us; that all they wanted was their land. We had our guns ready to cover him, and saw him draw a long breath just before the signal came. As Miller uttered a whistle one of the men pulled open the door, and at the same instant the stranger made a spring for shelter. It was a veritable spring for life. The Indians fired at him, but too late, and he pitched in among us without a scratch, Then began a siege which lasted nine days, and in which over forty Indians were killed or wounded. T gath- ered in the quarry, as expeated, and Miller exploded the torpedo and killed four and badly woumded a dozen. They tried every possible way to burn us out, andon one of these occasions, while they were congregating together, Miller sprang another of his mines and killed several of them. Five or six times they displayed a flag of truce and sought to coax or threaten us into surrender, but Miller was wisé enough to refuse to trust them. From first to last they fired about four thousandbullets at our fort, over a hundred of which lodged in the door, but none of us were wounded. The besieging force never numbered less than thirty-five, and one day the num- ber wus over one hundred. On the ninth day troops came and drove the fiends off, and jt was only then we learned of the widespread devastation. Not a house or barn had been left standing for miles and miles in any di- rection. Crops had been destroy: stock shot down, and settlers butchered or driven off all over a great section of the state. We had been the only ones outside of the towns to make a fight, and by our standing a siege we kept a large force of' the savages from going against the settlers. -~ Read the Death Roll Which the bills of mortality of any large city may be fitly domunmcd and you will find that renal and vesical mal- adies, that is to say, those that affect the kidneys or bladder, have a remark- able prominence—we had almost said— preponderancy Bright's disease and diabetes in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and gravel. catarrh of the blad- der and enuresis slay many.

H. Price, who has in consideration a scheme for a pneumatic railway to London under the Atlantic oeean. “Well," said the colonel, “I will try and be less technical. In the fivst place, we find—as 1 will explain Tater on—that we cannot get as good results from short lines as from long lines of railway. Our tubes will be in couples, with currents of air driven through them—the current in one moving in the opposite direction to the current in the other. There are some modifications of the original inven- tion, which was to have continuous lines of woven wire encircling a cable, one thickness after another. Between the wires we would use as- phalt packing, jute sonked with asphalt or tar or anything else that would be impervious to air, so as to make it air and water tight. “The chief point is to make the tube positively air-tight. The cable would require to be enormously large, and no cable has yet been constructed of cuffi- cient size, but mills have now ample facilities for constructing a cable of this When Stepnenson was building t locomotive the greatest civil er of his time in England—Me- on, [ believe, was his name —gave his opinion that in order to sustain_ th ‘hammering blow’ of the shalt which drove the wheel when it at its lower point before it came 1o its upward turn it would require twelve feet of solid masonry below it. This blow would be about 200 tons, “But Stephenson had made tests, which convinced him that the theo was wrong, and the result was the loco- motive of to-day “I am, in this way, figuring thus far largely on things that have not been much understood.

Records and s tis- show that life on a locomotive is from idents than life in a tic free house. “How would the passenger feel in your proposed pneumatic railway?” said the reporter. ““He will not be'aware of the motion,” said Colonel Pier¢e. *The carin which heis will be comfortable and well uphol- stered.

The speed of the current can be made as great as d by using the common steam- ven fans used in blast furnaces, Ap- proach to the tube ahecking speed after leaving it can be done on halé tubes of the proper length.” *Would t ling at the rate of 1,000 i cely o produce which a a vessel o I can easily meet that idea by an i About the beginning of weled from Lmldun to I dmhuw_h and if I remember rightly the journcy s done in three and hree nights. famous contemporary of his, on hearing of the propos H,uur- ney, warned him that the rupidity of the motion in making the journey ~|hnt time would necessarily produce death. Still he undertook the journey and lived, Thus it is thut theory hus (o be proved by practice.’ “But is it not afact that people fall- ing from a vast height, die from concus- sion of the brain before they reach the ground?” “That is true, but you must remenaher that air becomes like a solid body when anybody is going through it with suf- ficient speed, and it then becomes a very tangible, forceful element. In our pneu- matic tube we have the advantage of the element to push us. We are not cutting our way through this element as a cannon_ball does. It is the element that carries us. We are not going agafnst it.
