Show how it feels to be Scalp erf many years ago a party of five atner leans were attacked by indians and a man named thompson underwent the terrible experiment of being scalped an authentic account of this incident has just been published it was while running away from taj sav ages that a shot hit thompson n the right arm but he kept on running finally he was felled with a blow from a tomahawk for a moment he lay stunned and then he recovered sufficiently to realize what the indian was doing he determined to remain perfectly quiet and to this decision he probably owed his life with the deftness of an expert thompson said the savage grabbed ray scalp lock in one hand and cut arcoui d it again and again until the edges of the skin were loosened then he tore it free the sensation was about the same as it someone had passed a led hot iron over my head after the air touched the wound the pain was al most unendurable I 1 never felt any thing that hurt so much I 1 had to bite my tongue to keep from putting my hand on the wound I 1 wanted to see how much of the top of my hrad was left |
