The Story of an Attach upon an Indian Viltaijc as told l>y General Ouster, One of the most interesting clitip* tors in Custer's "Life on the Plains'' is Unit which deals with his attack on the Indian villages on the Wachila. He says : Immediately In rear of my horse came the hand, all mounted, und each with his instrument ready to begin playing the moment their leader, who rode at their head, and who kept his cornet lo his lips, should receive the signal. I had previously I old him to play "Garry Owen" as the opening piece. Wc had approached near enough to the village now to plainly catch a view lane and there of the tall, white lodges as they stood in irregular order among the trees. From the o]x-n*u!gs at. the top of sm.no of them we could perceive faint columns of smoke ascending, the occupants no doubt having kept up their feeble fires during the entire night. We had approached so near the village that from the dead silence which coiguotl 1 feared the. lodges were deserted, "Ute Indians having fled before wendVflfnccd. f was about to turn in my-q-lddlc and direct the signal for a I fab k to be given?still au>:i< us where'theotln r detachments were?when a. single rifleshot rung sharp and clear on the far side of the village front where we were, (>uiel; ly tunf?np~ tu tite baud ha der I directed hint lo give its "tfarry Owen." At mice tbe rollicking notes of that (ami ^i^Ht%y^J.V* *vr? cd forth through the valley, and in a moment were re echot*! hack from the opposite sides by the loud and con tinued cheers of'he ?neu of the other detach incuts, who, true to. their orders, wcrethere aud in readr'es.s to pounce uprm "\hv 'Indians the uioiiicnt the attack begun. In ihi* matt tier the battle of the Wnehita commence I. The bugles ? Minded the charge; and ilia entire command ?1 islii <1 rapidly into the village. The Indians wore caught napping: hut, realizing at once the dangers of their situation, they ovoreai'uc t licit* surprise, and in au instant sci/.ed their rifles, huws aiid arrows stud sprung behind the nearest trees, while Swine leaped into (lie stream, nearly waist tkep, ami, using the bank as a rifle pit, begun a vigor ous: and delerh.ilie.l defense. Mingled with the exultant cheers of my men could Iks hoard the defiant war Whoop of the warriors, who from the first fought with a desperation and courage which no race of men could surpass. Major Uenlccn, in leading the attack of bis squardron through the timber below the village, encountered an Indian boy scarcely fourteen years of age; he was well mounted, and was endeavoring to make his way through the lines. This boy rode bohly toward I he major, seeming to invite a contest, His youth (til bearing, and not being looked upon as a combatant, induced Major llenleen to endeavor lo save him by making "peace signs'' to him and obtaining his surrender, when he could be placed in a position of safety until the battio was terminated; but the young savage desired and would accept no such friendly concessions. He regarded himself as a warrior and the son of a warrior, and as such pro posed lo do a warrior's part. With revolver in had he dashed at the major, who still could not regard him as anything but a harmless lad. Leveling his weapon as ho rode, he fired, but either from excitement or the changing positions of both parties, his aim was defective and the shot whistled harmlessly by Major 13cn teen's head. Another followed in quick succession, but with no better effect. All this time the dusky little chicflain boldly advanced, to lessen tho distance botween himself and his adversary. A third ballot was sped on its errand, and this time to some purpose, as it passed through the neck of the major's horse, close to the shoulder. Making a final but in effectual Appeal to him to surrender, and seeing him still preparing to firo 1 again, tho mnjor was forced in self defense to level His revolver and dis patch him, although as he did so it was with uijiniration for the plucky spirit exhibited by tho lad, and regret often expressed that no other course under the circumstances was left him. Attached to the naddlcbow of the young Indian hung a benuti fully wrought pair of small moccasins, elaborately ornamented with bead*. One party of troopers came upon a ' squaw endeavoring to make her escape, leading by the baud a little white boy, a prisoner in the hands of the Indians, and whodottbtlcsa had been captured by some of their war parties during a raid upon the eettle mcnlo. Who or where his parents were, or whether still alive or murder ed by the Indians, will never be known, as the squaw, (hiding horse If and prisoner about to he surrounded by troops and her escape cut off, de termined with savage malignity that the triumph of the latter should not embrace the rescue of the white boy. Casting her eyes quickly in all direc tions to convince herself that escape was impossible, she drew from beneath her blanket a huge knife and plunged it into the almost naked body of her captive The next moment retribu tive justice reached her in the shape of a well directed bullet from one of the troopers' carbiues. Before *he men could reach them life was ex tinct in the bodies of both the squaw and tier unknown captive. The desperation with which the Indians fought may be inferred from the followingj_ ScvciileoH warriors had jw'toitcd themselves iu a depression in the ground, which enabled them to protect their bodies completely from tho fire of our men, aud it was only when the Indians raised their heads to fire that the troopers could" aim with ai y prospect of success- All efforts to drive the warriors from this point proved abortive and resulted in severe loss to our side. They were only vanquished at last by our men securing positions under cover and picking them off by sharpsliooting as t hey exposed themselves to get a shot at the troopers. Finally the last one was dispatched iu this manner. In a deep ravine near the suburbs of the village the dead bodies of thirty-eight warriors were reported after the fight terminated. Adventures el Three Tramps. .?l/i Old Fanner and his 117/1' Gagged and IU Treated? TieeHty Tubs of Hotter and a Horse and Wo yon tSfofeti?Recovery of the Property. Ja red Wells and his wife, old people, live on a farm three miles froiu Fort IFickson, Fa., on the main road. Their soti, John Wells, lives a mile further on. During the da}* three men, decently dressed, stopped at the farm and asked for something to cat. Mrs. Wells gave them a good dinner. The men were good talkers, and as they ate obtained of the old lady the information that she and her husband lived alone; that they made and shipped quite an amount cf butter from their farm, and that there was then forty tubs in the cellar to be sent away next day. The men went on their way after finishing their meal. About ten o'clock at night old Mr. Wells was awakened by a loud knock at the front door. lie got up and asked: "Who is there ?" Some one replied : "John." Tho old farmer, supposing it was his son, who was on bis way home from tho village, opened the door. Three men instantly rushod into tho room, and he was knocked down, bound and gagged before he could say a word. Mrs. Wells was also securod in tho samo manner. Tho men then ransacked the house from garret to cellar- From ihe lnt let place Mr. and Mrs, Wells could hear them rolling tubs of batter up tho steps outside. When they had secured what plundor they could the men shut and locked the door of the house and lcll without saying a word to the helpless old couple. Shortly afterward si .wagon drove up to the door. Into/, this the farmer and hin wife could hjear them loading the but ter, nnd Iii! a few minutes it rumbled off down Lira road. About ten o'clock next murrixhg John \Vclls, the son, drove lip (to the old peopled huusc to load up thfe butter that was ready for shipnicnt.yHe was compelled to burst open Ilm.) door to get in the house, where hfh found his lather and mother lying oiii'rthc floor as they had been left by ibTe thieves. He removed their bonds lilUl gaga n? soon as possible, but thcyj were no ill from their Jong suffering .jthnt it wnssouic time before they coiWd give any explanation of their condition. It was then discover ed 111 fit tjhc thieves had secured ?7? in money, (and had taken the twenty tubs of/ butter. They had driven away v?,'.ih these in n one horse wagon. \Yhilcr^|ic3C discoveries were being made, yVftiiet' Jack-on, a fanner, living j\ mile ami a half back in the lulls, diovc up and paid that his barn bad been entered the night before and robbed of a valuable youugdiprscj togetlipr with harness and a light spnngrwagon. It was plain lint the horse Jthicvcs were, the same that lind comnlitted the robbery a,t Wells'. Purtifis were scut as soon as possible to l<hok for traces of t ho thieves in all directions. ,, Al^out noon they got a,track of the mc-ti in the road leading from the mine road to Millerville, ? They were followed to that place, live miles dis t-auti, and almost the first object seen on [entcriug the village was Jacksou's horde and wagon standing in front.of a tjaveni. The butter had been re Tno*to.d from tho wagon. The constable -|?-_?_ o ... . - entered the tavern, where he (coritedT frrun tht landlord that the horse ami wagon had been left, tied in front of the)diouse early in the forenoon by thrust men, who entered the barroom, took a drink and walked out, since which time they had not put in an appearance; They were strangers, but their movements hud created no suspicion Koon afterward Wells I on fhed that a groccrymau had that morning purchased a number of tubs of butter. These proved to he the twenty tubs stolen from the old far mer. The storekeeper said that a man had driven tip to his ?tote about eight o'clock in the morning with the but ter. He said that he lived back of the mine road, ami that he had made a trade with old Mr, Wells ofsdnic farm implements for the butter. He wanted to sell it, and Crozicr bought the lot, paying the stranger, who gave his name as Williams, nearly $200 in cash. Crozier had also agreed to rc Lurn the tubs as soon as empty to Mr. Weils. He had not the slightest suspicion that the butter had been stolen, the man's manner was so nssur ing and his statements so circuinstant inl, The parties had evidently been sthart enough not to offer the horse and wagon for sale anywhere. No trace of them bus been found since they left the tavern. - II Mill! . - . <f -? Mistaken Identity. A 11 km aukmilk Cask ix Illinois. The Chicago Tribune has the follow ing story of a case of mistaken identi ty : A man was run over and killed at Kvanston by an incoming railroad j train. The corpse was at once identi fictl by many persons residing there as that of Josian Hill, a gardner, who formerly resided in the village. Amid great sorrow word was scut to bis family residence, and they immediate ly went out to care for tho body of the unfortunate head of the family. The wflb wept, and in her almost in consolnblo grief frantically caressed tho dead one. The inquest was held, and thero was no lack of evidence concerning the man's identity; in faet, it was nevor questioned. At the ex pense of the family, the remains were inclosed in a very One coffin, and on tho day appointed for tho funeral, the body was borno to thogravo umid the | lamentations of a largo circle of friends and acquaintances. As if to complete this whole story of deception, the remains were buried in a family lot in Kos Schill, owned by the brother of the deceased. That, apparently was the end of Josiuh Hill on this earth. On the jury at the inquest was .Deputy Sheriff Kearney, who, among others present at the time, knew Hill very well, and swore to the. identity. On the day of the funeral be visited Winnetka on official btisi ness, and was almost, frightened out of his senses by seeing the veritable Hill at work in a garden. Hailing him, he conjured him by all that was good and holy to his ghostly residence, and to be wander iiigaround u ghostly gardener. Hill thought the man was crazy at first, and upon listening to a subsequent explanation concluded that his stir iiiis'u was correct, and all the way to town he regretted the untimely fate of hid friend's brain. Hut judge of Iiis surprise and astonishment, upon entering his own home, to sc i bis wife scream out and faint before what she took to be an.npparition. She had never rdoubted the .jduv.titv; .of .the dead man, and liorhtiHlxind had left her only a few days before to do some I work in Winnetka, hence she could not have forgotten any single particti lar of his appearance. Indeed, it was some time before she could be con vi need that her husband was still alive, and not in the cold grave to which she had on the prcviot-s day consigned him. She insisted with redoubled vigor that she had ex a in in cd the dead man, amlfuLh/ identified him in every particular as her litis band, even to a shortness of one of his limbs, and its similarity in size, looks and make. Learning all the facts iu the case, Sir. Hill was ex ueU'.e.ly, anxious to view the fellow that looked like him, and jvis?cd the coroner's office lo'cft'eci the removal of the body. The necessary oVJ.lcr "was given, and the hotly was cxhuin cd and ta'<cn to the morgue for another inquest. ?'The Law of Sociefy Compels You to Fi;;ht." The annexed interview will be en joyed by those who can understand it. It i1? not our province to say where iL look place. Let recent events establish that question. Here it is, as it happened between a Catholic a .d Iiis Father confessor : Catholic?Father, 1 have been grossly insulted; both the law of the the church and the law of the Slate forbid me from demanding satisfac tion by an appeal to the duel. What am I to do ? Friest?Son, I cannot advise you as to the huv of the Slate, but as to the law of the church, I answer empha tically, if you have injured the man who you say has insulted you, make reparation, and, if he be a gentleman he will at once relieve you from all diliioulty. Catholic?lint, father, the man has accused me wrongfully, as I think, and 1 gave the first provocation. Priest--If you tire right, maintain your ground; Catholic ? I think lam light; he thinks 1 am wrong. Doth are equal ly sincere.?I cannot retract, he will not withdraw. What ant 1 tri do V If I do nothing, I will be branded as a poltroon and a coward. If 1 bring on a street light, one or both maybe killed, and it amounts to Ihq same thing. Certainly the duel is the most respectable way. Priest?My son, you are in a very difficult position. Von cannot both be right, and if you cannot determine who is to makc^he amend, you must choose, between your life and your h?hl r. Catholic?So you advise me to light a duel? 1 have always sup posed that to kill one in a duel is mil rtlcr. Priest?No, my son. "thou shall do no murder," is one of tho ten commandments. The church con demns the duel and so docs war and all sin. P>ul suppose an enemy at tempts to take your life, is it a sin to kill him, or must yon let him kill you? So with your honor, that is clearer than life, for without the for mer the hitter i s a burden.* Catholic?Do you advise mo to light a elvi si ? Priest?I will not say that. But I do say that no Christian* gentleman is called oil to yield his life to tho murderer, an?! I add to preserve his honor is a higher duty. Now my son I lie duel is an ancient inHtLtution. Church men have fought them. It ? has done much good; but, like all other laws of society, has been much-" abused, and should hot be lightly re sorted to. When the "trial by com bat" is absolutely necessary, I sec ?0 \y:iy to avoid it and preserve society. 1 know no law of the church thai condemns it. A court of honor may prcscril)c term--, but nothing short I will do. . ?: Catholic?.Suppose I kill my ad- , yersary, or ho kills me? Priest?If you die in a just cause, having received al?Solution, you know what the church teaches, just as if * you had been killed in battle. If you < kill your man, it is the same as if you , had killed him in battle. The duel is tlic battle of two, the war is tho battle of many. In the former, the law of society compels you to fight. In tiic latter' the law of the land compels you to fight. Be sure you arc right, and if you art, your father confessor will confess and absolvo you. -t*m *> -<r* A Sad Story.?An unhappy mother was found by a funeral party 1 at Greenwood Gomctory, Brooklyn, lying with her four little children huddled about her, ou the grave of : her husband. They were all quietly dying there of starvation amid the costly' monuments reared by civilized opulence. The poor creatures had been turned out of their apartments in New York, and they found no room left, for tUcra anywhere among the living 'in the metropolis of the great republic. We chronicled buk ? the other day the appalling fact that in Lombn nearly fifty human beings annually die of absolute starvation, i:i spite of all the miracles which steam and electricity have wrought to belter human life since Wordsworth, wrote his iiuforgcstable lines: '.'Homeless near a thousand homes I stood, Ami near a thousand tables pined and want* od food." This miserable story of the day in New York, following ipon half a dozen others of the same sort during the present summer, is a terrible and sardonic commentary upon our own proud centennial boasts of tho superiority of our own social and political systems to those of the old world, "?.ma- ? - ? caawn?! A Liquor Cure.?The following is the well known recipe used for ear ing intoxicated persons: Sulphatoof iron, five grains; magnesia, ten gains; peppermint water, eleven drachma; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm. To be taken twice a day. This preparation acts as a tonic and stimulant, and bo partially supplies the place of accus touted liquor, and preveutf? the abso lute physical and moral prostration which follows a sudden breaking off from the use of stimulating drinks.
