North. An event of his life, which he will always remember, happened in 1854, when he assisted Alexander Faribault in getting five hundred Indians across the Redwood to receive their pay. While on their way thither the Indians obtained liquor, got drunk and made numerous threats, but were finally sobered down and reached their destination in safety. After leaving Mankato they traveled two and a half days with nothing to eat and when finding a skunk, which made them a meal, they thought themselves fortunate.
