Origin Panhandle Indian Scare In 1801 Recalls Early Wellington

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.

Longhorns Ride to Warn Settlers in Indian Attack Tale

Huddleston leads a warning run across prairie to Salisbury and Buck Creek. He stops at Jap Long and Ab Smith homes as a pony falls and a mule helps carry the news. Reported as fear grows with each retelling, the tale ends with continued fear and a page 3 continuation.
