ABOUT LITTLE PHIL.
ASB
HIS CONNECTION WITH AN
INDIAN UPRISING.
Sheridan's Blockhouie, on the Columbia
and the Events Which. Led to
Its Const ruction.
Sheridan's blockhouse, opposite Cas
cade Locks. Or., on the Columbia river,
has tumbled down, its heavy, hand-hewn
timbers, relics of stormy days in the
northwest country, still sound save a few
near the foundations, have been utilized
by the vandal fishermen to build fish'
ways, until the old river, scandalized by
the desecration, swept them all away
during the great flood of this summer,
and now nothing remains to mark the
old stronghold of the pioneer but a few
moss-grown and rotten timbers.
An incident in the early history o
Gen. (then lieutenant) Phil Sheridan is
recalled by the ruins of this old building,
which is thus related by the veteran
river pilot, Capt. J. McNulty, who
fought the Indians here as a volunteer
during the campaign of 1856, with
"Little Phil," and who is yet making
regular trips as a pilot on the middle
Columbia.
The "fishing Indians," mostly Wascos
Snakes and Cascades, with renegades
from many other tribes, a regular hotch
potch of "Siwashes," whose love of the
succulent salmon was greater than tribal
ties, 'and whose lodges lined the rirer
near the spearing rocks at the falls and
cascades, had long been turbulent and
aggressive, but had made no serious out
break until March 25, 1856. On that
day a band of them attacked Brown's
mill, situated just above Cascade Locks
on the north, now Washington side, kill
ing and horribly mutilating Mr. Brown
and his wife. The other white living at
the mill, together with the captain and
crew of a little river steamer, the Mary,
then tied up at the landing, had gone
several miles up the river for the day
leaving only the engineer, Buck Minster,
and a small boy named Jimmie Wat'
kins, on board. Luckily for these, there
was 'a little fire banked under the boilers
The attack was so sudden, that before
Minster could realize the danger the In
dians were upon him. The foremost
reached the shore end of the gang plank
as he did the other, to draw it aboard
A quick shot from his pistol sent the
red man headlong into the river. The
plank was drawn in, while the boy cut
the shore line, and the little Mary be
gan drifting at once, under a' hail of
bullets and arrows, from one great dan
ger into another that of the terrible
current above the rapids.

threw everything ' inflamable within
reach into the furnace some bacon, oil,
and even furnitnre and made steam
enough for headway, the boy, under or
ders, making for an eddy behind an is
land near the head of the rapids, out of
reach of the Indians. The little fellow
I had proven himself a real hero, for in
HgOing to the wheel he had been exposed
fkeely to hostile bullets, one striking
him in the leg, but be crawled manfully
to ins post and saved the boat.
i
As soon as full steam could be made
the steamer was headed across the river
to Atwells, where alarm was given of
the outbreak. Messengers were sent to
Fort Dalles and Fort Vancouver. From
the former Col. Wright came to ' the
icue with a company of U. S. troops,
hile Lieut. Phil Sheridan, with a troop
rom Fort Vancouver, embarked on the
Steamer Belle, bringing one cannon..
Landing at Lower Cascades, he was
quickly on the ground and rounded up
a number of the hostiles. A company
of volunteers from the Willamette Valley
came on the boat Jennie Clark, piloted
by Capt. McNulty. The troops soon
subdued the Indians, but not before a
dozen or more whites had been killed.
Nine Indians were hung hear the smok
ing ruins of Brown's mill. The officers
decided then to build a block-house here
for the protection of scattered pioneers,
a rallying place -for them during later
Indian scares.
This was done during the same year,
1856 and it always called Sheridan's, but
just why no one seems to know now
A point of rocks on the river a short dis
tance from the rapids, is also called
Sheridan's point. Soon the last of the
pioneers will have passed away, as has
this, their moss-covered old log strong
hold, and little incidents like Jimmie
Watkins heroism and even Sherdian's
prompt trip, too trivial to be noted in
history, will have been lost save for
dim tradition. So it may be well to
give one passing moment to the old
blockhouse that nestled for so many
years under the shadow of the House'
Mountain, itself the scene of one of the
strangest Indian legends of the north
west country. George P. Morgan, in
Chicago Blade.
