Show Jl out just in time to see them hastily seize the.r guns and quit the house. I came and stood in the door by my mother's side, and looked out. The moon, full and bright, was almost touching the horizon, and the half wintry landscape was bathed in a sod yellow glow, that outlined objects in jet. The two men advanced two or three rods toward the northern- Dlutf, where they paused and peered about endeavoring to get a sight of the cause of the dogs uneasiness; and while I yet looked, Joe said to my farther in au excited I tell you 1 saw an Indian's, head above the brush. My father deliberated for a moment and then said, Hail them Joe, you can talk to them, and ask them what they are doing skulking there. Joe dropped the stock of his gun upon the ground, and in the Indian tongue called to them to know who they were and what they wanted. As if moved by an electric spark, twenty or more dusky forms sprang into sight and twenty rilles blazed. Poor Joe fell at the first volley, went down like a log, but staggered to his feet to fall again, and my father with his gun raised to fire at the savages, the bullets whistling round him like hail, turned upon his heel to see if the wounded man could reach the house unaided, slHWting to him: Get into the house, get into the house. And I stood iu the door a and horrified spectator. Seeing that Joe would reach the house, my father turned and fired full in the face of the now advancing squad, sprang to the door just in time to help tile wounded man over the door stone, and to shut and bar the door before the house was surrounded by a how ling mob, the horrors of whose hideous yells beggars description. At the first alarm, my mother, with the cool presence of mind for which women are not noted, shut and fastened all the windows and the other door, and the moment the last door was shut, she and a sister, older than myself, began taking offjues coat, to ascertain the extent of his EARLY DAYS IX UTAH.
