But part of the story of the Brave ot 1914 goes back to the spring- training program of that year in the South to a pair of great competitors, possibly the greatest that ever wore spiked shoes. Their names were Maranvllle and Evers, the Rabbit and the Crab. Heading north that year, I stopped off for a few days at the Braves camp in March. The main idea was to call on a fewold friends, such as Hank Gowdy, Johnny Evers and Rabbit MaranviUe.

Milford, a rural settlement seven miles west of New Ulm, was attacked and many of its inhabitants killed on August 18. The following day a force of warriors hit at New Ulm, killing several persons and burning a number of buildings. The defense held, however, and after some spirited fighting, the savages withdrew. During the battle reinforcements arrived from St. Peter, Mankato, Le Sueur and other neighboring settlements, bringing the defense forces to around 800. Maj. Charles E. Flandrau, a former Indian agent, was placed in command and defenses of the town were strengthened. Path ofr Destruction. Four days liter, on August 23, the Indians attacked New Ulm in greater number. Fighting continued until noon of the following day, when the attackers withdrew. Of the New Ulm defenders, 34 had been Nearly 200 killed, 60 wounded. buildings had been destroyed. During the same time the Indians also laid siege to Fort "Ridgley, a United States military post established in 1853, 18 miles up the river from New Ulm. During the nine-da- y siege, two formidable assaults were made and repulsed. The Indians then retreated into the Dakotas, taking with teem many captives Whatever It was that started the uprising, historians are agreed that it wasnt a mere sudden whim. The Indians were ' when well they prepared Their, launched their attack. leaders knew well what they were doing when they chose Fort Ridgeiy and the settlement of New Ulm as their main objectives.
