Kuni KUMIP A ST IS It was late in September of 1864 that an event occurred that nearly cost the settlers of Franklin their lives. A large tribe of Indians numbering almost 500 were camped near Franklin. They were on their way to Bear Lake after having had an encounter with another tribe of Indians on the Platte River. Some of the Indians became drunk and started riding up and down the streets of the village. T-Bo- nes LB.

The screams of Mrs. Alder brought many men running with pitchforks, clubs, and knives. The Indian knocked many of them down with a club and finally one man came with a gun. The man with the pistol hesitated a moment, so another person took the gun from him and shot the Indian. When the shot was fired, the Indians who had witnessed the scene a ways off uttered their wild cries. The whole heavens seemed to echo the screams of the maddened red men. IN ANOTHER area of the village, Robert Hull and Howard Hunt were on their way to the village to obtain an article of clothing that was stolen by some of the squaws from a pioneer woman. Not knowing about the shooting of the Indian, they were soon surrounded by members of the tribe. Mr. Hull was grabbed and found himself looking into the barrel of Chief Washakies pistol. The Chief snapped off the trigger three times, but the gun didnt discharge. He then pointed the pistol away from Mr. Hull and fired. This time the pistol exploded. The Indians must have thought him a spirit when the Chief could not shoot him. When the Chief grabbed Mr. Hull, Howard Hunt escaped and gave the alarm; Mr. Hull was taken to the Indian camp and surrounded by young braves. They danced around him and squaws' prodded him with butcher knives. While this was going on Mr. Hull recalled a dream that he had had three nights before. He had dreamed that he was surrounded by snakes that would dart at him from different parts of the circle. One big snake came up ' and struck at him three different times but didnt touch him. LATE THAT NIGHT, the representatives of the village went down to the Indian camp and talked the Indians into letting Mr. Hull go. The Indians finally agreed but still wanted the man who had shot the Indian. The next morning Bishop Maughan invited the Chief and other Indians to a meeting held in' the Bowery. After much discussion Chief Washakie was convinced that in the same situation the Indians would have done the same thing. Many of the braves still held revenge in their hearts. About two weeks later, the Hull family was visiting with relatives and stayed all night. Upon returning to their home they found some chinking had been removed from the wall and two shots fired where their heads would have lain had they been home. One bullet lodged in the Btock of a gun that lay at the head of the bed. RE-ELE- CT Arlando Larsen Sheriff APPLES QUALIFIED iV .t f t AWARDED THE HIGHEST : PEACE OFFICERS.
