Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 2
Two weeks later than the time when the Indians stole so many
horses from us we had another immensely exciting Indian fray
About 9 o'clock in the morning the call was made
to get our horses. I started for them in the timber half mile from
camp. When I got about two thirds of the way to the horses
one of the most exciting scenes occurred I ever witnessed
I heard several reports ^of guns^ in quick succession
and our Guard cry "Indians! Indians!"
In less than a minute the timbered ^and^ bluffs were
lined with mounted Indians charging with all speed upon our guard horses
and camp. They shot at two or three of the guard but missed them
One of our guard they ^two of them^ took and tried to carry him off on his horse. He
knocked some of them down with his fist and got away. Some
of the brethren snaped their guns but they missed fire.
As soon as I heard the report of guns and
the cry of Indians and saw them driving off our horses and gathering thick
and fast upon every hand being without either horse or arms I ran
to camp with all speed and gave the alarm and called upon all to
gather their arms and mount their horses
Brothers Kimball Rookwood Mathews
and several others sprang on to their horses with their guns and pistols
and ran to stop the horses which the Indians were taking away
One party of Indians had driven five or ^about^
