They had been in many a rush for “new dig gings,” and in many a “stampede” to gether, but had never known each other until old age and hard luck had thrown them together in one of the second-class hosteiries of the queen city of the plains. The conversation lulled finally, and the trio relapsed into silence, as over their pipes they recalled the recollections of pioneer days, when a tall, lunk-looking man. with grizzled locks and an unmis takable southern accent, spoke: “I’ve lis tened to you fellows’ yarn about Indians and grizzlies and vigilantes, and now let me tell you one. It is about an adventure I had down the Mississippi a number of years ago.” AN AHVBNTUHE. pEABODY, BRANNON * BATTLE, Attorneys at-Law.

If you have been down the big river you know that down below Donulasoiiville it spreads out over acres and acres of country -on each siiie of the channel. The further •flown you go the more country you'll find ■covered by water, and you can find places •where n house boat can be hidden away so nicely that fifty men might search for her a week and not find her. I went down ■ into that- country on a venture of my ow n I had a small, snug house-bont and r-.'i(K) worth of trading cargo, and theidca was to peddle off my stuff 1 to the isolated people along the bauks in exchange for furs and to spend the winter there in hunting and trapping. I took with me,my nephew,a boy about 18 years old, and "a couple of good dogs, mill reached the spot where I was to tio for the winter about the 1st of Novem ber. I had pretty good luck in exchang ing my goods, mu] when I tied up there was only about $15 worth of notions left. In the bend where I proposed to winter I the overflow was at least ten miles across, and the. place selected was all of three miles from the steamboat channel. The water over the bottom lands was about two feet deep 0:1 tile level, but here and there were sinks where it was much deep er , and there were many islands clear above water. There were panthers, wild cats, conns, foxes, woodchucks and musk rats in plenty, and 1 was counting on big luck when something happened to the boy. He went out with one of the dogs to inspect some of the traps, and, after a •couple of hours, one dog came back alone. Ttie other hail been stabbed in two places and had died just before reaching the boat. SHOT DEAD. JAMBS M. SMITH. MITH & THORNTON, Attorney»-at-Law. C. J. THORNTON. s* ORIOSBY E. THOM AM, JR.

I was off at the first peep •of dawn, taking the dog along. Altera walk of two miles we came upon the boy’s •dead body. Ho had been shot at one of the traps, and by some one who had laid hands on him before the shot was fired.

Tt was jiwt before noon next dav when 1 heard from the expected visitors, i u;»*s keeping very shady, knowing they would s*boot me on sight, when l saw men pull ing a skiff up the channel. (There were three whites and two blacks, and if my dog had not given them warning, I should ^certainly have shot one of them before 'hailing. The voice of the dog drove them to cover on an island about pistol-shot -away and from there they hailed me and wanted to know what I was going to do. 1 defied them, and pretty soon they opened tire on the boat. The only alarm that 1 felt was that they Would seek to board mo. lu that ease five to one were too many. After they had fired thirty shots, allol which were harmless to me, I got u bead on one of the blacks and knocked him over. Their plan was then abandoned for another. By the use of their boat they •could work all around me, and by and by they had four men posted at different points, and the leader called out that they would remain all winter but that they would have my life. They were close •enough to command some of the loop- hides, and each one kept himself so well •sheltered that I did not get a shot the whole afternoon. As night came on i made ready for a different attack. I heated -Uic tiove boiler full oi'water, placed pails handy and made a barricade across the boat’s cabin with furniture.. The boat lay in such a position that they could only reach me by making use of their skill', and then only at the stern. The bow was in the water too deep to wade in and too full of roots and canes for a boat to pass -through. GIVES THEM HOT WATER. Attorneys-at-Law. Office up stairs in the Garrard building. yy B.

It was near midnight when the growl ing of the dog proved that some deviltry was on foot. 1 dipped out a pail of boil ing water, had the shotgun and revolver handy, and pretty soon I realized that the quartet had lauded on the stern. All of a sudden 1 flung the door open. Two of them stood there, and us I swished the -water over them they went overboard, yelling as if they had been skinned with a knife. The two others had gone for ward, one on each side of the boat. They had revolvers, and they turned and opened on me, and the three of us emptied our shooters without any one being harmed. As I dashed into the cabin after my shot gun they followed me. They were so close on me that I could not get the gun, but had to draw my knife. It was dark * in there, and the dog took a hand in, and I expect that little shindy has never been matched. We cut, hacked, thrust and used our fists and feet. I got two cuts al most at the beginning, but at the end of five minutes one fellow was lying in a heap and the other begging for quarter. 1 struck a light and found the one dead and the other bleeding like a hog, with the dog hold of him. I was in a mood to finish trim at once, but he begged so hard that I let up on him, only to see him die a ♦couple of hours later. In the darkness I A11 orney s -a t-1 .a vr.
