TALE OF MASSACRE RECALLED BY PRINEVILLE, OREGON RESIDENT Early Days of "47, When Umatilla Country Indians Were on Warpath, Eetold Oregon City Refuge of Party of Survivors In Winter of Long Ago Dr. Whitman Meets Death. BT MARTHA 8PAUD1NO WICLt YOU may think that 1 waa far too young to know much about that terrible Winter of 4T when sister waa taken prisoner by tha Cayusa In diana, but I remember mother crying and feeling; so badly ami beside sister told me a. I about It. It waa the Fall of '47 when Ellsa kissed m good-bye and went with fathrr down lo Dr. Whitman's school at Wlllapaiu. about five miles from the present rlty of Walla Waila and about 120 milts from where wa lived, a general stopping place for Immi grants on their way to the Willamette Valley. F.ach rode a pony and took their blankets and something to eat. for It took them about three days to make the trip. Ellsa said she bad lots of fun. but that It was a little cold "sleeping out. Mother flt badly to bave sister go, but she couldn't get her to speak any thing but Nes Peres and as she waa IS years old mother and father tbougbt It best to put ber In school, where sba woull bear something beside tba Indian language. Mrl Women to t'roaa Moan la Ins. Ton see. mother and Mrs. Whitman were the firm white women to cross tha Kky Mountains, and we lived on tho Clearwater at l-spwjl. about 12 miles from the prraent ctty of I-ewls-ton. where my father and mother taught and worked among tha Indians, so wa had no nrlabbora but tha In dians, and the only white people wa saw were I'ncle Hart and a woman who lived with us. Father left sl'ter at tha school and went down with It. Whitman to the I'matlila River, about a day's trip from tha mlsnion. to see whst could be dona to tu!t the Indiana who wer restless and dissatisfied, for measlra had bro krn out among them and aom of tha treacherous half-breeds had worked upon their superstitious fancies, msk Ins them believe that It. Whitman waa poleonlnr them. AMer being with them a while Ir. Whltmaa returned to tha muilon. but father stated all night. oon after father went to bed the In dian women becan the death chant. Father aked them acnln and acaln, ho Is dead?" but their only answer was to wall the louder, keeping It op all night. The next morning father started hack to th mtsstoa. When within six miles of the place h met a Catholic priest, who told him of the massacre, telling blm th men wer ail killed and th women and children taken prisoners, and urged htm to flea for bis life. The priest divided bis bread and meat with father, mho. almost broken hearted, turned toward borne dreading and fearing the worst for his family. Father rude bard the first day and night and the moon shone so bright father was sure. he -vas seen by a band of Indians all painted and on the war path, but he slipped over tha side of tho horse Indlan-tashioa and held th horse's nose to keep Mm from nickering and the Indiana passed by without see ing blm. thinking It wsa only a run away borer. Purely, father waa frightened for ha felt sure they were looking for hlra. Poor father waa so hungry, for b bad lost the bresd and meat tha priest bad given blm, hot b huirled on although it waa getting near day. , At tha first stream he reached. Instead of crossing at th fordlr.g place, he rod up the stream a lltt-'e way and than up a teep bank so as to throw th Indiana oft tba trail. Father did act dar tta bis horse or to bobble It. but bad to turn it loos hoping to be able to catch him again after dark. So he lay down In tba brush and tried to sleep. Presently ha heard a rock strike tba water, thrown by some Indian woman on tba opposite bank, and In th Indian language these word, "There be Is," cautiously peering through the bushes, for. of course, ha thought they bad. meant him,' ba saw them driving op his horse. Tha Indiana, finding bla bora tooee. aupposed b was drowned, gava up the chase and went back to WlUapatu Mis sion. When poor little sister saw tha In diana return with ber pet pony which father bad ridden away, ah crted: "They have killed father, poor dear father." Father was now a long way from home without a boras and with nothing to eat In a country made dangerous by hostile Indiana, and was compelled to hid by dsy and travel by night, leav ing a bloody trail over tha froaen, rocky ground. Faint, footsore and so hungry he was tempted to rhrw his fingers, he reached the Snake River on the evening of tha fifth day to find a band of Indians ramped on the bank, with canoes In tha liver but oars In their tents. Father, not knowing If they were hostile or friendly, waited till they were at their prayers, for no matter bow much the dogs barked then, nothing would tempt them to leave their devotions. So father slipped op to tha tent, got a pair of oars and hurriedly crossed th river. On tha sixth day ha bid In sight of homa .all day. fearing to go nearer as ha could sea Indians there. And. sure enough tha Cayuses tried to take os all prisoners but th Nes Perces were father's Indians and as they bad prom ised mother that Sunday, they pro tected ua. On that Sunday morning; a trapper named Craig tried to persuade mother to take her three children and go with him to his home about 10 miles from there, as he thought it much safer, but mother, thinking it wrong to use the Sabbath for her secular gain and by so doing doubt God's lov and protection, refused to go. Th Nes Perces wer so Impressed with her fidelity to her God and her religious convictions that they aald they would ba true to her and protect ber and ber family. After watching th Indians leave in the evening. Father, a living skeleton, emaciated, faint and footsore, crept down to an Indian camp and asked for something to eat. Tha Indian women gava him some mush and while he ate ha asked after Mra Spaulding and family.

This contest is being conducted by manufacturers for whom we have a contract for advertising their pianos throughout the United States.

In order to do this they have inaugurated this great contest, in which each contestant has an equal chance to win one of these valuable prizes. The piano manufacturers and dealers have for many' years tried to reduce the selling expense of musical instruments. The old way of celling pianos, pulling door bells, canvassing, paying music teachers commissions, etc., have all been eliminated, and it is now a question of the best advertised piano. The maker's name being familiar to the piano purchaser, and the piano purchaser knowing the true value of the piano, makes it possible to sell a certain number. These manufacturers for whom we are conducting this contest want you to know that all answers will be considered, first, as to the eorrect answers: second, as to the neatness of the answer; that only one answer will be considered from one family, and that in the event of a tier identical award will be made.
