THE rORIsTXG- OBEGOXIAi". TEliJIJSDAT, P33BHUABX 21. I89o. 9 A GEORGIA MASSACRE CRXEL TVOIUC OP BILLY IIOWXEGS, THE SEMINOLE CUIEF. The Slansrliter of the "Wilds Family and the "Venjcennce Afterward "Wreaked by the "Whites. The story of the massacre of the Wilds family Is familiar to the old citizens of South Georgia, and is an unwritten chap ter in the hirtory of the state. Fifty years ago South Georgia was the home of the Seminole Indians. The forests were vnbroken, with the exception of small patches of Indian corn here and there. The hunting grounds abounded in deer, bears, turkeys and other game, says a "VVaycross (Ga,) correspondent to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Thousands of screaming paroquets were in the forests. Among the first settlors in that section was Mr. Wilds, a Virginian. He settled on the Wilds place, and his nearest neighbors, the HUHards, Sweats, McDon alds and Wilkersons, lived several miles r.orth of him. Mr. Wilds erected a double pen log house and outbuildings, and cleared about 0 acres of land. His family consisted of a wife, five daughters and two sons. In their early home they had been well to do and had fair educational advantages, but financial disaster came, and a home was procured in the unknown country of South Georgia. The Wilds were intelligent and refined in taste, and their home was well provided with musical Instruments. When evening came, after the day's work was done, the members of the family enter tained themsolves with select readings and recitations from the best authors, and then the violin, banjo, flute and me lodeon were played. Mr. Wilds daughters were beautiful and accomplished. Their age ranged from 10 to 20 years. The girls made all the clothes of the family, and by means of the loom and spinning-wheel they manufactured ail the cloth used by them. Mr. Wilds planted Indian corn, raised hog3 and cattle and hinted game. The home was comfortable and attractive. The Indians frequently passed through the settlement on their wa to and from their favorite hunting grounds. They appeared to be on friendly terms with the whites. Occasionally a hog, cow or horse would be missing, and it was believed to be the work of the Indians, but no open charges were made against them. It cannot be said that the whites expected any trouble with the In dians, for they were apprehensive of no danger from that source. Billy BoAvlegs and his tribe, consisting of about 2000 warriors and women and children, made their headquarters a few miles northwest of the Wilds place. Billy Bowlegs was the chief of the Seminoles, and he was notorious for his cruel, cov etous and treacherous disposition. His rule was despotic and tyrannical. He a as secretly hated by his subjects, while they openly adored and flattered him. It is said that Bowlegs had half a score of wives, and he treated them cruelly. It was a favorite pastime with him to watch the small children of the tribe hold their feet near a fire until the skin was burned to a crisp, according to his own cruel order. Toward the white settlers he affected jjreat friendship, but he intended them injury, and only waited for a convenient time to do them harm. He watched the progress and prosperity made by them with concealed covetousness. and it was his ambition to dispossess the settlers. It was not strange, then, that on July 6, 1837, Billy Bowlegs ordered the" Wilds family massacred and their home burned. It was noon on July 7, and the Wilds family were taking a rest. The girls were entertaining their cousin, a Miss Wlikerson, willi music, and the children, ""vere-.playfngwuriderneatli"" the 'Shade of the trees in the yard, and were talking of olden times. Suddenly there was an Indian warwhoop, and tremendous ex citement was caused In the household. Mr. Wilds ran out of the house with his gun and was followed by Mrs. Wilds. The house was quickly surrounded by sav ages. Mr. Wilds attempted to light, but he was shot down. Two Indians ran up, and after shooting him twice they used their tomahawks on him. Mrs. Wilds was next shot down and beat with a lub. One boy was killed with a toma hawk. Reuben Wilds, a young son of Mr. Wilds, was playing in the yard when he saw the Indians, and he ran Into the wood? and escaped. He Is now living at arcsboro, Ga. Ir a letter to the writer he gives the following description of the lon.bje mKsncre: "My father and fam ify and my cousin, a Miss Wilkinson, were m&sssered by the Seminole Indians en July 7, 1S37. I was about 13 years old. Slv mother, live sisters, one brother and my cousin were beaten to death with dubs and tomahawks. I was standing behind a tree about 50 yards from the house, and could hear the screams of my 3ir.g Joved ones. My brother tried to fight, but the Indians overpowered him and took his gun away. Several of my neighbors and myself drove the Indians into Okeeftnokee swamp. We discovered them about daybreak In the morning. They were concealed behind stumps and trees, and poked their guns around and tired." Young Wilds was horrified at the sight which he witnessed on the morning of the massacre. He saw the house on Arc and th"1 "tnoke rising, and his family lying "eal in the yard. With a sorrowful heart he fled through the woods and came to the home of a Mr. Hilliard. He told the cad story to his friends. The neighbors armed themsolves, anl were prepared to meet another attack f roi the Indians. For many miles around the neighbors were lnformrd of the mas sacre, and all who eould came together, held a consultation and declared war tiainst the redskins; but the dead were to b buried and the people first attended to the Interment of the Wilds family. For fear of the Indians the burial took place after sundown. A large cart body was used for a collin. A grave the size of the xrart body was made and the queer collin was placed in it. The bodies of the dead were placed side by skle in the cart body and the dirt was thrown above it. The moon shone on the grave from behind a cloud, and the scene was pathetic. Young Reuben was crying bitterly. Xo t-onss were sung over the grave. Quietly the crowd left the place and went in pur suit of the Indians. It was a brave and determined set of men, and young Wilds was urging them on. When the Indian j were overtaken a fierce battle occurred. Several of the Indians were killed and a few were badly wounded. Xo serious in juries were sustained by the white men. The Indians rstlred from the fire of the flint and the steels in the hands of the determined men, and fled to the Okec llnokee swamp. Billy Bowlegs and his men waded into the swamp and their pur suers returned home. The Indians roarch c ' through the interior of the swamp un t.l they reached Billy's island. There they pitched their camp. The island is about flv miles long and three miles wide. It Is surrounded by lakes and is l ot easily accessible. For three years the retreat of Billy Bowlegs was successfully concealed from the whiles. It was in JS10 that a young man who was hunting near the camp saw a young yquaw. mc waicnea nor until ine re turned to the island. He then went home and told of the discovery he had made. About a score of determined men armed -hemselves and went in search of the Inulans. As they leached the island tlioy saw the Indians dancing around a big camp fire. Billy Bowlegs was participat ing in the dance. The men fired upon the Indians rnd Biliy Bowlegs was terror stricken. He started in a rdn and told his pecpl to follow him. The men continued to fire as they ran across the island after the retreating savasos. Several -Indians were wounded and two squaws were kill ed. The Indians went in a southerly di tection. and after many days they reached the everglades of Florida. In the ever glades Blily Bowlens came to grief. The cruelties he had for so many years prac ticed on -his tribe were not forgotten. The warriors renounced him, and they made one of their comrades chief in his stead. Bowlegs was without friends, and it ic said that he suffered a great deal, and finally died In abject poverty. JAPANESE WRESTLERS. They Are Semi-Gods " the Land of the Chrynnntliemum. Some of the leading Japanese wrestlers, becoming infected with the war fever, have proffered their services to the mi kado in his campaign against China. Under the usual conditions of modern warfare these giants would be of little more avail probably than ordinary men, only presenting more superficial feet of flesh for the enemy's bullets to hit; but China is not fighting according to latter day methods, and, with her soldiers so ready to stampede, a company of wres tlers in tha vanguard might have a de moralizing effect. The average Jap is a wiry little fellow, much under the average height of Euro pean nations; but the wrestlers are such sons of Anak that they seem Of another race; big, burly specimens of humanity, frequently over six feet tall, and of proportions in rotundity which would not discredit an alderman. A Cumber land wrestler would say they were too beefy for active and prolonged exertion. Certainly the dietary prescribed for an athlete in training over here is not fa vored by them. They are enormous gor mandizers, capable of eating astonish ing quantities of meat, and drinking in a manner that reminds one of Hans Breit mann, who, when he joined the Turners, had the fire hose turned on to satisfy hla requirements. It is reported that two wrestlers once drank a couple of dozen bottles of beer at a sitting, reinforced by quantities of claret and mineral waters. But this was only the great man at play. Note him when he Is preparing for the fray, pounding his shoulders against posts to strengthen the muscles, or stamping his massive legs on the ground to give stamina to the calves. A favorite method of strengthening the wrists is for two men to place their elbows on a small table and wrestle until cne loses his hold. When we recall the popularity of heroes of the ring in England, when prizefighting was rampant, or the excitement caused by the meeting of two great football teams in a league match, we may have a compara tive conception of the position assigned to wrestling in the Land of the Rising Sun. The practice dates far back in the history of the country, mention being made of It some years before the advent of Christ. . . fecoru " "me centuries agoij. dropped.

Xot qulto so noble a way as in the lists, horse "to horse, and lance to alnce, bit it seems to have been satisfactoiy. Wrestlers wera attached to the different daimios, mov ing about with the princess wherever they went, and exhibiting their prowess al public ceremonies. From that time to iha present the interest in wrestling has never flagged, the fostering care of theifcJ nobles no doubt being largely responsible for this. Modern Japs are as enthusiastic sup porters of the sport as their ancestors could have been. The champion wrestloi of today enjoys as much vogue ag dl Tom Sayers in the palmy days of tii prizerlng, and is regarded by the popn" lace as a little god The man who wan to cee the characteristic sights of Xipho1 wllkno more neglect attending a wres ling match dhan he will forget to drln. tea in a tea garden, see the dancing gfi cr patronize a riksha. boy.

Good humor gleams i faces. They slap their thighs and their legs like restive horse3 and crouch ready for the spring, like beasti prey. The umpire gives the slgral commence, and they bound into each ot er's embrace. Perhaps the feint is pa ried, so that we have it all over agai If they close one can almost hear the fibres give. It is a Homeric movement a the champions struggle and sway this way and that until, after a final effort, one is thrown to the ground. In one in stance a heavy man was hurled right over the rice bags by a wiry opponent, and would have had a bad fall off the stage but for the intervention of an attendant placed ready to prevent accidents. Great matches take place yearly, last ing for some days, the aspirants for fame being so numerous that from 10 o'clock in the morning until 5 at night the ring is continuously occupied by a succession of struggling pairs. The excitement reaches Its highest pitch of intensity when the champions of the East and West meet. Then, indeed, is it a sight for the gods as these brawny masses of muscle and flesh feint and parry, hug and squeeze cne another until one wonders how the ribs can bear the pressure or the lungs contain any superfluous breath. The man of the East has an arm that might be another man's thigh. His bones seem so laden with fat that one thinks of Lobengula. And his opponent runs him close for size. When they begin, in a trice the apparently fatty parts become hillocks of muscle, the envy of a sculptor. They close at a bound and in a few min utes the Western colossus has ended the contest by throwing the 36-stone man of the East over the rice bags. Twenty stone is a heavy weight for a man, par ticularly if he is a Jap, but we are as sured that It Is not unusual for a wrest ler. The victor is hailed with maddest ac clamation, hats and other articles of clothing being pitched into the arena by the cheering partisans. These the giant carefully collects, knowing that later on the owners will come to redeem them with presents. It is a more practical custom than laying bouquets at the feet of ac tresses, though not so poetical. The um pire next proceeds to proclaim the West ern representative victor, what time the man himself modestly squats on his heels and receives the silken apron, which is an elaborate gaud. This w;restllng is far from being child's play. A bout may lest only a minute, but it may be prolonged for 15, and very picturesque sfwU.perehod oa. a rook, means unknown. Nor Is this surprising. (vxflK nHBfrfede .HHBq HHnHck iHer' L'klHJBIHHEi jjHBfci -mmmaimm i i'HHBHF? EoB HlHfe I The grip of one of these fellows is apt to he unpleasantly like a boa-constrictor's, and now again an unhappy wretch will go hustling against a post as if he had been discharged from a mortar. Ill-luck betide him if he allows his bead to serve as a battering-ram. It may mean a broken skull and conoussion qf the brain. Perhaps, however, the popularity and prices enjoyed by the wrestlers may suf fice to compensate them for these little drawbacks. It is astonishing how closely every point In a match is followed by the spectators, who are almost as interesting to a European as the gladiators them selves. They make the most good-tampered crowd imaginable, never lapsing into disorder or rowdiness. They remove their boots on entering the circus and eat and drink persistently until the entertain ment is ended. Wrestling is a fashion able as well as a popular sport, the boxes being as crowded as the pit. Not Jopg ago a cabinet minister is said to have tried a fall in public, and the nobles of the land are equally ready on occasion to enter the ring. Count Kuroda, the prime minister of sir years ago, gave his active patronage to the amusement. It is a pleasure to know that the con tests do not seem to have the effect of brutalizing the participants. The ma jority of wrestlers are easy-going, genial fellows, with faces bearing no record of their calling, unlike our own prizefighters, who are rarely unmistakable. Now they have proved their patriotism by offering to fight the Hqathen Chinee. Probably they had better stay at home. Their bulk is too unwieldly to admit of running, and, if they can.not sprint, how will they ever get to close quarters with the enemy? By the way, it would be interesting to pit a Jap against one of our own Cumber land men. Such an International contest would prove a vast attraction. Pall Mall Budget. GAMBLERS ROBBED. One Mipn Hpld.f L"j the Dealer of a Tncxon Faro Layout. TUGSOX, Feb. 20. Congress hall, one of the old-time establishments, was en tered tonight by a masked man, who held up the faro table. The game was In prog ress when the dealer, George Huston, saw a fellow enter by a side door with a mask covering his face below the eyes. Huston thought some practical joker was trying to have a little fun, and when the robber covered him Huston pushed the gun aside. The robber did not "utter a word, but shoved the gun up to Huston's breast, and with his free hand took about $340 in gold, which he put in hi3 pocket.

Feb. 20. A circular has been Issued, at the instance of Archbishop Corrigan, to be read from the pulpits of all the Catholic churches in this city next Sunday, forbidding Roman Catholics from becoming identified with the Sons of Temperance, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows, and declaring that members of the church who remain in secret societies cannot receive the sacrament. The cir cular is among the usual instructions sent to priests throughout the United States before Lent, but it has peculiar signifi cance in that it includes at least two secret societies which have not been so conspicuously singled out before by Archbishop Corrigan.
