The Indians bad the idea. and said that as soon as the land was plowed it would cease ne belong to tbe Utes. I was in the kitchen with my mother washing the dishes. It was after noon. looked out of the window and saw the 'Was shooting the boys, who were awning on the new building. Mrs, Price was at the door washing clothes. She rushed in and took Johnnie, the baby, to fly. Just then Frank Dresser, an employee, staggered in inlet through the leg. I said : "Here, Frank, is Mr. Price's on." It lay on the bad. He took it,. and .just as we were fleeing out by the door, the windows were smashed in and Volt a dozen shots were fired into the room. Frank Dresser fired and kdled Johnson's brother. We ran into the milk -room, which had only one small window, and he lookedthe door and hid under it shelf. Firing went on for sev- eral hours at intervals. There was no shouting, no noise, but frequent firing. We stayed in the mil] -room until it began to fill with smoke. The sun was haat an hour high. I took Mary Price, three years old, and We all ran to father's room. We' knewthe building would be burned,and ran across Douglass avenue fair afield of sage brush beyond the plowld ground. The Utes were so busy stealing the aimuity goods that they did not see us at first. We had,goae 100 yards when the Utes saw us. They threw down the: blankets and came running toward. us, fliing as they came. Bullets Whizzed as thick as grasshoppers around ets. Mother was hit by a ballet which event through her underclothing and made a flesh wound three inclies long. As the Indians came nearer they shouted: - • "We no shoot ! Come to us'!"

The Indians anawered by pushing me through the water. I had on only moccasins, and the weter and •mucl. were deep. The baby -waded too, a,u.d both of us came out wet to the skin. As we were -walking in Chief Joseph .e.arne and pushed away Pursune, end., in great anger, told him to give me up. Persune refused to surrender lam. Hot words ensued, and I feared the men would fight for a moment. I thought I would ask Douglas to take me, but as both were drunk I kept silent, and af- terward was,glad I did not go. Douglass -finally went asva,y, and we walked on taward the river. The In- dian, Persithe, took me to where hie ponies were standing by the river, and. seated_ me on a pile of blankets while he went for more, The Indians were now'on all sides. • I could not escape. Pursune packed his effects, all stolen fiom the agency, on a Government mule, which was taller than a tall man. He had two mules stolen frora the agency. It was now sundown.
