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.

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

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

TUGSOX, Feb. 20. Congress hall, one

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.
He did not take all the gold, and $5 or ?t5

Mrs. Hines received her husband back

Mr. Rudolph followed the eloping couple

Hines to Superior, Wis., and here he

Archblnhop Corrifjnn's Circular
AgrnliiHt Secret Societies.
NEW YORK. 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.

Ask the men who are making im
itations of COTTOLENE, the new
vegetable shortening, why they
giye tip lard and try to trade on
the merits of COTTOLENE ? Per
haps you can guess why.
Ask the grocer who attempts sub
stitution, why he tries to sell an
imitation when people call for
that pure, palatable and popular,
vegetable shortening, COTTO
LENE? Perhaps you can guess.
fS'SS
?ti'oiu
Why should not YOU use COT
TOLENE, instead of lard or any
other compound, for all cooking
purposes? It has the highest
possible endorsement ; from Phy
sicians as to healthfulness ; from
CookingExpertsastoouperiority;
from housekeepers as to economy.
Use COTTOLENE and stick to it.
