ambush
as they were passing from David Craig's on Nine Mile Creek to John Craig's
on
Pistol Creek. When the Indian fired on them they killed Fergusonwho was
leading. An Indian rushed into the road with uplifted tomahawk and seized
the
young lady's horse by the bridle. She gave the bridle a sudden jerk and
broke
loose from the Indian. Young Craig had halted to help her if he could,
and when
she got loose they made off as fast as their horses could take them. The
road
forked near the place and came together again within a hundred yards. Miss
Fergusontook one fork and young Craig the other, and where the roads come
together their horses met with such force that Craig's knocked the young

hourse down and she was thrown off. Craig jumped off his hourse and helped
