Radbury in this, although some said that it was better Whippler should be killed than some man with a wife and children. Whippler and his late wife had never had any offspring. The night was raw and cold, and toward morning a fine rain set in, adding greatly to the discomforts of the whites.
"Joel Nalitt was away, and at the Runyons' only the women folks were in. But over to the Powers's ranch I met Powers, Anderson, Striker, and a German, who was a stranger, and they said they would all come along. Anderson rode over to Whippler's, and those two brought along the other men. It's too bad that Whippler was killed." All in the party agreed with Mr.
All of the whites bewailed the fate of Whippler, and swore to be revenged if given "the ghost of a chance." When Amos Radbury, Stover, and the two boys gained the other whites, they found Bowie's party fording one of the creeks running into the Guadalupe. The Indians had passed there about ten minutes before, and it was to be seen that they had not even stopped to water their horses.
Radbury's well-known voice, and never had it sounded more comforting to the two boys than at that moment. Then followed more shots, some striking the cabin and others hitting the Indians, who were so demoralised that for the moment they knew not what to do. "Down with the redskins!" came in the tones of a settler named Whippler, who had lost his wife in a raid about a year previous.
