4 STORY OF INDIAN CRUELTY.
BT ARTHUR L. MKSUR/g,
It was a golden harvest day in Sep
tember, ami the men eftbe little settle
mi nt of Warreo, located iu the
depth of lbo grand old Kentucky
forist, were at work in ti e r respective
eleariugH, reaping the lipe, rich, grain,
when a large «ar-paity of the Shawan
ees made an att-ck on 'he flare, and in
less than a half hour from the time,
when their blood was ohilUed by the
first hideous war-whoop, every one of
the little community were butchered in
cold bb o', or else were prisoners with
a worse fate in a'ore, with the excep
tion of a youth of nineteen, Philip .Mor
gan by name, who had hidden iu the
tall wheat, and escaped the lerreh that
bar] been instituted by the savageß for
anv that might h-.ve been hidden away.
lie was secret! and so near to the cab
ins, that he hoard every shriek made
by tho women and cLdldien as th-y
wore butchered by the red fiords, and
mote than < hoe the youth Was on the
point of rushing out aud siiar ng the
fate of bis kindred and friends, but the
1 ve of life, which is sa deep in every
human bring, and the fact that he was
entireiy unarmed, held him back, and
with his hand? over his ears to shut
.ut the horid founds, he lay, rxpeciiog
every anim at be would ho discovered,
and suljoeted to the fate of his tiiends.
JSvery moment seemet] an age to the
young man, as he lay there with the
tali wh-at rustling in the gentle breeze
above him ; but at, last every shriek
and groan had and e l away, but he knew
the Indians had not left, lor he could
hear them prowling about in sra/eh
of any of ibeir victims, who might have
been so fortunate as to escape the gen -
eral ata-saebe. At last they seemed to
have come to the conclusion that none
had escaped death at their hands.
*J?or severtl minutes, Philip could
not hear anything fr m the savages, and
began lo congratulate hitufself that
they had left, and was in comparative
safety, when the loud crackling if dames
announced fljit tho cottage was o i fir 1 .
There had been no rain for tevcral
week", and the timbers that cou p'sed
the cabin were very dry, making it iu
the very best possible condition for
the flimea to prey upon.
The roof was soon in a sheet of flame,
and it was net mors than five rods from
where ho was concealed, he already
felt the heat of the burning cottage.
If the wheat, which was well ripened
did not ignite, be bad no need to movcj
but if if did, he would have to run for
his life, from the kuivie of the savages
Vet he thought, he would moove a little
further off, trusting that if the Indians
observed a wiving motion emong the
wheat, they tv mid attribute it ts the
wind, which was blowing gently.
Just as he was on the point of nov
iup, he discovered that the wind had
died away, save that caused by the
Himes, which were fitful, aud which c
was afraid, would not covi r bis motions
—bo he renounced his intentions, aud
remained quietly where he was.
But it was not fated that hi should h
uridis'uibed. Tbe ludjins hid only
begun their work of if vastalion by fire.
The party had and vidsd, si yera! being al
lotted to the l urtiing of e ich cabin, and
when they hud got them enveloped in
Games they turned their attention to
tfie fields of pipe wheat, which during
the long sutnniT had been the pride
and hope of the settlers and theit fami
lies. Torches were applied in a dozen
places to etch field, gm} the ripened
state of the grain together with the dry
spell that had preceded this ter.ible
day, made it an easy prey to the de
vouring elemnnt, and almost immediate
ly after the application of the torch, the
wheat was doomed, and the black
smoke and cinders, filled the air like a
elbud.
Philip was unaware of bis danger
until he saw the huge volumes of smoke
pouring over him, an 1 even thou he did
not know but what it might proceed
from one of the burning cabins. He
dared not raise his head to see, hut his
suspi. ions si?nn became certainties, for
Sr he ’ay rn his face, he saw fbe red
blaze rushing to hijn, through tho yel
low stalks of ripeDed wheat.
Two dea'hs we r e before him; from
the red hand of the Indian, or the no
less merciless flames.
He might escape from the Indians
utid-r cover of the smoke, but if be lay
where he was a moment longer, he must
perish. He took the chance that gave
hopes ot life, and sprang to his feet; but
a shudder ran through his frame as he
did so. One startled glance he gave
around him, and thon ho bounlcd away
for the forest, about fifty rods distant.
At his n'moet sped, tho youth
prang forward to the fine of fores'treiß
•la promis'd him shelter aud refuge,
but he could make but little l.utdway
as the wheat was very stout and rank,
and impeded his prognss sadly, yet ev
ery nerve was brought to the tusk, for
he knew that life or death depended on
his iff irts.
lie had achieved perhaps one third
nf the distanco, aud hau gained some
what on the Himes that were following
un.dly on hit rear, and thus far the
dense sinnke had proved a shield that
the eyes of the savages could no s pene
trate, but imagine the horror of Philip,
when he saw a might, line of dime,
springing up on the outer edge of the
field to Wiiiob be was running, and
hei pil the shouth of th“. red inci nliirie*
as they caught sight of him springing
madly toward them. Nut knowing but
that tome of their victims might be
concealed in the w!,“at, they were firing
(he fi. ld on all si lea to insure the.r de
struction, and by this means they had
discovir- and Philip in tho field, while he
was trusting to the smoke to hide him
from their sight,
Tho shout of the savage that had
first discovered Philip was rei chord by
his companion*, and they quickly sur
rounded the field I’etckmineu to leave no
chance of escape fioaa the dimes, to
the hated pale-face.
Philip Morgan’s hear' mt.k wjthin
him, aud all hopes of e cape fl and from
him. A ring el roar iug, hissing fl-mis
around hi .1 onevtry side, rushing swift
ly toward hiur, and darting out their
scarlet lounges, as if iu haste to wrap
him iu a robe ol fir -, and outside of this
a ring of blood-thirsty savages, far more
cruel than the ficiy element that liemed
him iu. The youth hod a bruve h *rt,
but where was thy man that ever lived
and stood in his situation, that w uld
not quail, and give up all hope of life ?
liithi r of his eui i ies was enough to try
the strongest heart aud make it trem
ble.
Closer and ci isar, rams the I taring
fianuß; already they were scorching his
his person with the heat of a fiery fur
nace, yet why Should he stir from his
place ? By going furtlur and furtheron
|)e might proloug his life for a few mo
ments, but already the fiamos in ad
vance were rushing toward him, and
Philip , though he saw no hope of es
cape, went forward, and soon the fl imes
Were roaring where he bad stood.
A few yards further on, and the
huge tiunk of a fallen tree lay before
hiui. Its limbs had been ch<ppedcfl
by the settlers, but the body was so
large, that they had nut attempted to
ronioVe i f , when quick at a fiish ol
lightpjng from the murky heavens, a
new-born hope of escap", flashed
thr ugh U e bruin of the danger encir
I ebd youth, lie well kniw that the
bugh trunk of the tree was hollow, and
the cavity was large enough to admit
of his crawling in a long distance.
11-re was a chance of escape, from
the flames at least, and it might be
that tlie Indians would think that he
had perished and in.-titui no further
search for him. The shell* if the trunk
was of considiruble thickucss, and be
knew that even if it burned readily, it
would be some time b< f .-re it reichcd
bim, and he hojel by that time the In
dians wi uld be gone.
Iu a few mometi'S he was snugly eh
scoucid iu the trunk of the tree, at the
most extr me point from the entrance,
aud with beating heart awai'ed the on
setofthe flames, and tho tirpe that
should decide his fate. He had not
long to Wait for'the advance of the
flames, like the roar of th tempest bey
came on, and he could feel tbeir hot
b'.eath through a crevico ia tho trank
of the tree,? which from some cause
had been mot iu its giant side*, and
which bi r?ed ap a breubirig pl»0 ; for
the panting fugitive, without which
it would have been noxt to impossible
to have obtained air, as his body and
clothes filled the upperture almost com
pletely.
It was but for a few moments tba*
the dimes raged ab ut him like fiery
demons for the rank wheat was soon
exhausted, audibly then passed on, but
Pbiiip could hear the fire still tr ick
ling above bis head, and he knew from
tiiis that tfie tree was on lire, but this
did not occasion him any uneasines, as
he knew if he remained in his present
couditiop, it woula be several hours
before the Amies would reach him, il
they did at ail, which was doubt ul, as
he l iuud from the touch that the inside
of the tree was soggy aud wet aud
would Dot bnru readily. Wait and (rust
was all that could be done. Wait un
till the savages bad gore and, trust
that it would be soon, aud that they
would accept it as a matter of eourse
that he had perished in the flames, and
therefore would make no search for bis
blackened remains to confirm their opin
ion.
Ii was but a few moments from the
time the fire was set, btfire all that re
mained of the field of golden grain, was
the charred, black earth fom which
the smoke was rising in many places,
and no sooner had the flames sub-ided,
so as it was possible to venture, than
the savages, with hideous yells were
bunting the ground in search of the
youth, whom they were positive bad
not escaped the fiery ring with which
they had encircled him.
It was fev.ral minutes lefiro the
ground bad been thourougly explored,
and to tbeir amazement, they could
see no trace of the one thty bad doom
ed t ’fire, and they b gan to tbiuk that
after all he must- have made bis escape
under cover of the smoke, when their
attention was a trac'ecj by the burning
ing trunk cf the fallen pine, and in a
few moments the whereabou-s of the fu
gitive were known to them all,
Philip, in forcing himteif into the ap
erture, had distorted the Boil on the
outside f thd log, abd where hi« f«et
had been inleiitctl wus still plainly vbi I
bio notwithstanding tho action of the ’
tire, and the litilp h'po that had again
crept into the heart of tiiq youth, wi»t
out, fur well he knew by their words,
many of vyhiph he underwood, that his
hilling ) la ic was dbo- v rod, aud he was
again at {heir mercy.
For a few itorrents th’ Indians con
sq’ted together «b to ti>o best method
of deposing 11 him, and at last it was
agreed among them that the Opel tube
of the tree should be cloned up sectire
ly, and then luol heaped upou the
burning trunk until it should bo con
sumed along with its inmate.
Tue fee ings of Philip Morgan can
well bo imagined, as in pursuance of
this resolution, the demons with a
large stone securely closed the en
trance, so that it would bo imposs trio
for out person on the inside or out
side lo remove it aloi.e. Then he
heard them depart and oie long return
w ith fresh fuel, which they heaped
above him and he heard the red ele
ment by which he was encircled take
new life therefrom, as if it g'oried in
the deed it was about to pe.fiirm
But tlie youth never w inced or gave
a token that lie wan therein. Not a
cry uame from his lips, th ugh he
feared ho had Been the green grass
and the blue sky lor the last time.—
Placing Ins face close to the crack in
the tree, which being clo6e to the
ground, was uot us yet on tire, he lay
s iii with odj a faint hope of life, liu’
help that the youth little dreamed of
was at hand
A strong foroe of whites, headed by
L ga",. the Bcou', had for many days
been upon ibtir (rail) and now they Lad
cothe up with them ; and tho first inti
mation that the Bhawnees bad of thicr
presence was a volley of bullets that fell
among them who were beapiug fuel upou
the log, like hail upon a tio.d if leider
corn. Fur a npuieut they were dis -
mayed by the suddenness of the attack,
but they soon rec verod thtintelves
and being joined by tbeir comrades
from the other cabins of the se.tlcuient,
a battle raged that fur ficicuncta, was
not exceeded by auy in ail the Indian
war. The n suit of the conflict was
that the Ravage wtru routsd with half
tbiir number kill'd, wld'.c all tho pris
one a that Lad be on taken were recap
tured. The remsiuing Indians fl and to
tho fore-,t and away, as fast as they
were able.
An h ,-ur later, as tho whites were
busy unerring some if the fall n Indians
and a fallen ouniiade, they were start
lid by a faint voice, oomiug apparently
from the burning log near them. Ap
proaching nearer, they lound that there
wus s-inn) uue appaicutly iu the mi Ist
of tpo flames, aud culiiug to it, they

“Was it in the Ciitnea. comrade?
Yes, it wus. It was at the stormin of

dragged me into a puid c house. 1

We conversed there in n very pleas
