The other Creek attempted to escape, while the other Choctaw snapped his gun at him repeatedly, but it missed fire.

They then pursued him, overtook him, knocked him down with the butt of their guns, and battered his head until he also was motionless in death.

One of the Choctaws, in his frenzied blows, broke the stock of his rifle.
They then fired off the gun of the Creek who was killed, and one of them uttered the war-whoop which was heard by the rest of the party.
These two savages drew their scalping-knives and cut off the heads of both their victims.

As the whole body came rushing up, they found the gory corpses of the slain, with their dissevered heads near by.

Each Indian had a war-club.
