those  who  crossed  the  river  in  the  boat.  The
Indians  met  them  on  the  opposite  bank  in  a
friendly  manner,  and  while  the  Americans  were
suspecting  nothing  wrong,  they  were  suddenly
put  to  death  before  they  could  make  any  re-
sistance. The  names  of  the  five  others  killed
in  the  boat  were  Thomas  Harlin,  of  Texas;  Hen-
derson Smith,  of  Missouri;  Thos.  Wilson,  of
Philadelphia;  James  M.  Miller,  of  New  Jersey,
and  John  Jackson,  a colored  man.  The  names
of  the  parties  killed  at  the  houses  have  been
given.  Dr.  Lincoln  was  of  St.  Louis,  John  J.
Glanton,  of  San  Antonio;  John  J.  Jackson,  of
New  York;  William  Pewit,  of  Texas,  and  John
Dorsey,  of  Missouri.  At  the  time  of  the  massacre
Dr.  Lincoln  had  in  his  possession  $50,000  in
silver,  and  between  $20,000  and  $30,000  in  gold,
belonging  to  the  ferry  company,  which  it  ap-
pears has  fallen  into  the  hands  of  the  Indians.
