The Negro instantly seized him.

In the scuffle the Indian threw him, falling on top.

The Negro held him in a strong grasp and called to the girl to take an axe which was in the room and kill him.

This she did by two well-aimed blows; and the Negro then asked Mrs.
Woods to let in another that he with the axe might dispatch him as he came and so, one by one, kill them all.

By this time, however, some men from the station nearby, having discovered that the house was attacked, had come up and opened fire on the savages, by which one was killed and the others put to flight.".
