The Smoky Hill Massacre by Indians in Kansas
Revolting Revelations Made by the Two Girl Captives

WICHITA, KAN., March 11. — From a courier direct from the Cheyenne Agency, I get something like an accurate history of the massacre of the Germaine family on the Smoky Hill, near Sheridan Station, Kansas, September 11, 1874. The names of those massacred were: John Germaine and his wife, Stephen W., James C., and Rebecca Germaine.

The two captive young ladies, Caroline and Lizzie, aged respectively 15 and 10

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 2 — A letter from South Pass says: On June 25th the Indians stole from that vicinity ninety-eight head of horses and mules. Citizens pursued, but all their horses being gone they could not regain the stock.

They found the bodies of Dr. Bard, Harney, Morgan and Mr. Mason, they having been tortured to death by the Indians. Morgan was scalped, the king-bolt of the wagon driven through his head and the tendons down his spine taken out for bowstrings.

The Indians who committed the depredations are Arrapahoes and Sioux.

WOLF RIVER, Kansas Ter., Aug. 4, 1855. — LOGAN FONTANELLE, chief of the Omahas, has just been slain and scalped at Loup Fork, by a band of Sioux. LOGAN was a noble fellow, and in this last mortal conflict he dispatched several of the enemy to the spirit land before, to herald the coming of his own brave soul. He fought long, desperately, and with great effect, but numbers finally overcame him, and his life departed through a hundred wounds. He died a martyr for his people, and his name should be carved upon fame's brightest tablet.
