The Wellington Leader recounts how Huddleston and sons arrived near Collingsworth in 1890 and built a two room dugout housed by pioneer rancher Stall. A frightful raid tale spurred by panicked neighbors led the party to flee with horses and wagon, believing a band of Indians approached, while Huddleston and his sons rode back to Wellington.
