Mr, G. Gunby Jordan, of Columbus,
Wednesday declined to be re-elected sec
retary and-treasurer of the Eagle and
Phoenix manufacturing company, alleg
ing ill health as the cause. The Enqui
rer-Sun gives the explanation of the step;'
“While it is very true that close con
finement friid hand work has had ’is ef
fect upon Mr.’Jordan’s health, we -vio
late no confidence in saying that this is
not alone the* cause of Tiis retr srnation^
His health has not been better in xuany
months, but he desires to devdte all his
time and attention to ihe Goorgi i Mid
land and Gulf railroad, and even for this
reason he has thrown off what has very
greatly encumbered this. And now that
Mr. Jordan has concluded to accept some
more active work, we fejjk it but just to
the shareholders of the Georgia Mid
land and Gulf railroad company to say
that we have every assurance this work
will he, until the work is an assured suc
cess, connected with that company. If
there were any doubts as to the speedy
completion of the enterprise we opine
there is now none, and that our readers

Found entity of Conducting Himself In a
Idanner Violative of fell Ordination Vow
---Sentence Recommended of Suspen
sion for a Time not Exceeding Ten
Years—Waiting Till the 19th.
Atlawta, Feb. 5.—Rumors flew thick
and fast this morning as to what had
been the finding of the Ecclesiastical
Court in the celebrated Armstrong case.
On application of a reporter to Dr. Arm
strong for a copy of any communication
he might have received. The Doctor
admitted that he had received a letter
from Bishop Beckwith but he did not
feel at liberty to give it out for publica
tion. Your representative learned, how-
eve.,from other reliable sonrees that the
finding of the court is, substantially,
that Dr. Armstrong -‘conducted himself
in a manner inconsistent with and in vio
lation of his ordination vow, but do not
find that the testimony establishes im
morality.” The ordination vow of the
church, upon which this verdict seems
to have been founded, as laid down in
the prayer-book, is as follows:
“Will you apply all your diligence to
frame and fashion vour own life and the
lives of your families according, to the
doctrine of Christ; and to make both
yourself and them, as much as in you
lieth, wholesome examples of the flock
of Christ?”
The court seems to have hekl that the
drinking of beerat his hotel and the vis
iting of bawdy houses in Cincinnati for a
proper and laudable purpose, facts
which I)r. Armstrong, has never denied,
constitute a violation of his ordination
vow in that he failed to be a wholesome
example. n
The sentence of the court is that he
he be suspended from his office for such
length of time as the Bishop may deem
best, not to exceed ten years.
WHEN THE SENTENCE WILL TAKE EF
FECT,
The Bishop has given to Dr. Arm
strong until the l'Jth of the month in
which to present any communication by
himself or his cqpnsel seeking a new
ring or a modification of the tindin
of the court. So the case cannot be co
sidered closed untiljifter the lGth inst.
The wardens and vestry of St. Phillip’s
Church who have been present through
out this ecclesiastical court's proceedings
express their unshaken confidence of the
integrity and Christian character of Dr.
Armstrong. No one is authorized to
speak for the Bishop as to what his
opinion may be. It is said, howe
tlifct in view of the united feeling of con
fidence by the people of St. Phillip’s par-
for their rector, the' Bishop may
deem the - suspension already submitted
to by Dr. Armstrong, as a sufficient
punishment for his indiscretion in failing
to be a‘‘wholesome example** on one oc-
asion. As the case now stands, specula
tions are useless. as no conclusion can be
reached until after the lfith inst.

Yesterday morning a B.-W. reporter
was perambulating down Broad street
hunting for news, wit on he was hailed by
Skiff, the jeweler. We at once rushed
in, and wore told that Atnens was going
to have a city clock. Mr. Skiff then
showed us a plan he had draw*n, esti
mates he had made, etc. He says that at
the next meeting of the city council he
intends to submjt the plan to this body,
asking their co-operation to make, the
enterprise a success.
WIIAT IT WILL COST.
Mr. Skiff says that the clock, fixtures,
bell and evetythinglo complete, f.oi
close estimate by himself, will cost about
$l,5UO. This, he thinks, is a cheap price

mates from several dealers, all of which
he will bring before council at its next
meeting.

jHQRROilS OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Cohoes, N. Y., Feb. a, 1S86.—
Six years ago George 'Waterhouse,
then eight years of age and a resi
dent of Lansinhurg, was bitten by a
dog. The dog was not supposed to
be mad at the time and was not shot.
The boy's wound healed rapidly,
and nothing more'was thought of
the affair until a few days ago,
when t!,r lad complained of dizzi
ness in his head. Soon symptoms
similar to those of hydrophobia be
gan to develop. His condition be
came so alarming to-day that Dr.
McLean, of Troy, 'was sent lor.
Toward night the lad grew rapidly
worse. He was suffering terribly
and had .the disease apparently in
its worst form. His eyes protruded
in a ghastly manner and the frot
was running from his mouth. A
council of physicians, that was
present concluded that he could not
live. It was decided that as he had
to die it would be better to end his
dreadful sufferings at once. He
was given chloroform and thus ren
dered insensible.

Detroit, Mich.. Jan. 30.—A curi
ous warfare, of which the public of
this city or elsewhere have heard
nothing,’ is bemg hotly waged here.
It is between the Michigan Central,
the Wabach, the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern and the Detroit,
Lansing ami Northern Railroad
companies, on the one hand, and the
four English daily newspapers—the
Free Press, Tribune. News and
Journal on the other. Their equal
numerical forces does not of it
self make the conflict an equal
one.
HOW THE FIGHT BEGAN.
A month ago the four railroads
named resolved that after Jan. 1
they would no longer pay the news-
papers for printing their respective
time cards. For years past regular
advertising rates have been charged
for publishing the time tables. At
the meeting when it was decided
to stop the practice,the roads argued
that the papers must publish the ar-
rivals'and departure of trains as a
matter of news, and reasoning thus
it was not a difficult matter to con
vince the railroad representatives
present that lor years the Detroit
newspepers had been extorting
money from the railroads. Howev
er as a matter of courtesy, the roads
decided to grant the dailies annual
passes “on condition of the publica
-tion of the time cards of the compa
ny.” This they had long done with
the country press, and they failed
to see why the condition should
not also be exacted from those dai
lies.
The surprise of the railroads wi.
great, therefore, when the Detroit
dailies, as if by previous understan-
store. They were at once arrested and
lodged in jail, and will be tried next I din K ; simultaneously stopped the

Winterville, Feb. 4.—This morning
at 2 o'clock, Mr. John Winter breathed
his last. Ue had only been sick since
last Saturday night, but so rapidly did
the disease progress that in four days
time it accomplishes its deadly work.*
Mr. Winter’s death was a shock to the
whole community; many did not know
that he was sick, and several of his kin
dred did not get here until after his
death. All business in our place is sus
pended, and arrangements are being
made for the funeral, which will take
place to day at 10 o'clock, from the
Methodist church here. He will be
buried with Masonic honors.
Mr. Winter was born in the city of
Bremen, Germany, 53 years ago, and
came to this country in 1860, landing at
Charleston, and early in 1861 camt to this
place, which has been his home until his
death.
When about 16 years old he went
aboard a German vessel and visited eve
ry country except Australia and China.
During the Crimean war his vessel was
engaged in the English service in trans
porting troops to the seat of war. His
vessel stayed in the Black Sea and at
Constantinople eight months. During
this time he had opportunity to examine
Asia Minor and other countries adjacent,
j noting especially tht ; : farming opera
tions, which was of great benefit to him
after he came to this country.
He saw tne charge of the “brava six
hundred,” and the fall of Sabastopol.
Mr. Winter, during the late war, was
in the service of the Georgia railroad
as depot agent and station master, in
which service he died, and many a sick
soldier returning from the front did he
care for and carry to their homes on
their arrival at this plaoe. After the war
he engaged in farming and merchandis
ing, and by his sagacity and energy had
amassed a considerable fortune. He was
never known to turn a deaf ear to the
appeals of the destitute, but was known
for his charitable acts to the deserving
poor. This class lias lost their best
friend. Mr. Winter had been a consis
tent member of the Methodist church
since 1865, and was a member of the
Odd Fellows and Masonic fraternities.
He leaves * a broken-hearted wife and
large family of children to mourn his
loss. Peace to his ashes.

Jefferson, Ga., Feb. 4.~Yesterday
was a cold, rainy day at Jefferson, and
the crowd was not so large as the day
before.
There was only one case disposed of
by the court. Several were postponed
or settled amicably.
A horse running away with a post, to
which lie was hitched, caused some ex
citement on the public square Wednes
day evening..
Jackson now has restriction from the
sale of liquor by the drink, and it is sold
only by the.quart. We understand two
or three petitions are now in the Ordi
nary’s office, calling for a contest to pro
hibit the sale altogether in tke count}’.
When it does take place, old Jackson
will be found in the march for progress
and reform.
Candidates are even now cropping out
for county offices next year. There is a
good deal of talk about the election.
Three or four candidates are electioneer
ing for sheriff.
Col. Dunlap, from Gainesville, is in at
tendance upon Jefferson court. The
Colonel is a strong Bacon man, and thinks
that the gentleman from Bibb will be the
next Governor.
Jackson eouifty has about 3,000 voters,
is about 35 miles from one corner of the
county to the other, has some as live
and progressive farmers as there are in
the state, cannot be excelled for her .edu
cational advantages, her clever people
and growing industries.

publication of the time cards, and
on Jan. loth, when the annual tick
ets expired, refused to accept the
new ones offered. The different
lines were also notified that all no
tices of excursions, change in the
time of the running of trains and
sinfiila* announcements which the
papers here have been accustomed
to publish free ot charge, would be
accepted only on payment of regular
rates. The spirit of the press soon
spread to every one connected with
the press, and, although no order to
that effect were issued, it was un
derstood that war had been declar
ed and that the campaign was to be
a long one. Since Jan. io theTe has
not been a reporter who has not
been able to scent a railroad accident
twice the distance of before, and
several recent fatal accidents have
been unusually harrowing and dis
tressing.
SOME DISCOVERYS MADE.
Among other things the papers
have suddenly discovered that a
number of railroad gates are needed
at an equal number of street cross
ings, and this discovery resulted thfs
week in State Railroad Commis
sioner William McPearson of How
ell, coming here toJn>pect the alle
ged dangerous localities, and the
gates will no doubt be ordered up
by the commissioner. The propo
sition of the railway companies to
charge extra storage forgiain stored
their elevators in order to force
removal, although no unusual
thing has just been tound to be a
high-handed outrage,’\on the De
troit Board of Trade, and such a
howl was raiaed that the companies
changed their minds and notified
the Board of Trade that extra sto
rage rates would not be charged.

fell out on the ground, frozen stiff, and
could noi move a muscle. When found
thus in the road by some good Samari

BURIAL OF MR. JOHN WINTER.
The above named gentleman was bur
ied yesterday at the cemetery in Winter
ville with Masonic honors. Mr. Winter
was a member of Mt Vernon Lodge, of
this place. There were a large number
of his friends at the funeral, afid the cere
mony was very imposing.

Mr, C. W. Allison, of Shady Dale,

The public roads are almost impassa
ble at present, owing to the hard freezes
and heavy rains. While I have seen nat
urally much worse roads than ours, I
don’t remember ever seeing them as bad
ly neglected. There are some places on
our roads that might be cut out or filled
as the case demands. We find just after
a short rainy spell, other places that will
cut down so deep that you can’t pull half
a load. All this state of roads waS ex
cusable when our country was sparingly
settled, but since we have become more
densely populated, and having more
transportation necessity demands better
roads, Let our road commissioners see
that each road commissioner has
hands according to his work. Where
one road has half as much work as an
other just give half as many hands, and
more hands to go on the bad road.
Then require each overseer to turnpike
and macadamize a portion of every
road, and those wet places will be as firm
as elsewhere, and we can soon get all of
the places to be the best. Let the com
missioners see that all the roads are
worked this way, and we can then live
perhaps, until the railroad will come to
our relief.. It may be best to tax the
citizens of the county and then put the
roads in good condition. Every tax
payer knows that the hands are on the
roads long enough to put them in good
condition, but from some cause they quit,
and all go home, and the first heavy rain
comes clears away most of their work,
and in gullies and ruts we find ourselves
until next year, when, if we had a man
in every district, paid by the county,
and his hands hired by the month, and
his business to give so many
hours of well-directed work, that would
stand. It would cost the county a little
more for five years, hut by that time we
would have good roads that every citizen
would he proud of, and where we now
have to use a four hundred dollar team,
we could do like your street cars, put
half-size mnles and carry double the
load. Peter.

Here is Sam Small’s teligious “ex
perience,” as related by him in Cin
cinnati a few days ago. Perhaps
some poar sinner may read it and
take heart to make a right for life:
Farther and farther, deeper and
deeper I was sinking; 1 was get
ting hopeless lor business, hopeless
for all sacial standing, hopeless lor
all the temporal interests of this
world, hopeless tor eternity; and in
the very madness of my disordeied
brain, and in my very soul, there
seemed at times no averuie of es
cape at all from this self-imposed
bondage except through insanity
on one hand, and through suicide
on the other.
I saw that my wife and children
had given yp all hope; they did not
know, from day to day, how I
would come home to them. They
had seen me brought there, day
ifter day, time after time, insensible
*nd unable to recognize them from
i;he influence of this deadly and
poisonous drug. They had seen me
when 1 was brought in and laid
on my bed covered with bload, and
it seemed as though my days were
indeed numbered, and that I would
soon tail in the midst of my iniqui
ty. They had seen me when I was
brought home with the wounds of
the knife and pistol on my body,
and they had heard the rumors from
the streets and dives ot the dangers
with which I had been constantly
surrounded ot late. To them it
seemed as though there was no ave
nue, no loophole of escape for me
from a terrible death. There was
uot the sign of hope or spirit beam
ing out from their beautiful faces.
They knew not, from day to day,
whether I would live to greet them
another day. They knew not
whether, if my life were prolonged,
they would oe able to procure the
very necessities of life from day to
day.
They knew not at what hour the
very shelter that shielded them
from the storm and from the heat
would be removed from over their
heads, and they removed from un
der its shelter. There were visions
of uncertainty, ot the sheriff to dis
possess, of the heartless landlord to
distrain lor lent, of the creditor to
come and take all. There was n<
future ahead of them, except a fu
ture of impenetrable gloom, through
which seemed to come nothing but
warnings ol'deeper woe and ago
nies yet to come. O. Lord, how
good thou wast to me; thou hast
given me relief from that bondage
at my seeking.
At last there came a time when
I seemed to have reached the lim
it. Something strange impelled me
to take my little children as a lov
ing act, an a?t it seemed to me of
reparation for neglects of weeks
preceding, and go upon the train
to Cartersville, wnere Brother Jones
was preaching to immense audi
ences, and from whence the repoit
had come that that there were many
and many hundreds, and even
thousands, who were coming back
into harmony with God. And as 1
sat opon the piatl'orm endeavoring
to take in stenography the words as
they fell from his lips, it seemed to
me that God had inspired hint to
preach upon one certain line. He
preached it with a faith that is his
alone; he preached it with that fidel
ity which is his distinguishing char
acteristic; he preached with the
earnestness and with the con vie
tions that broke down the case
ments of my heart and went home
to it. When he had finished those
words ot “Conscience! Conscience!
Conscience!" and "Record! Record!
Record!” God, the infinite, the ail-
seeing and ever-judging God, came
home to me.

had olten found insensibility. I
could find no relief in potations
where I had often found indiffer
ence and capability to take on a
cool exterior. There was nothing
there to give me surcease from the
sorrow in my bosom; and I went on
and on until the second day, on
Tuesday, at noon. I went into mv
library room, feel upon my knees,
buried my face in my hands; and I
pleaded with Christ that he would
let me cling to his cross, lay down
all iny burdens and sins there, and
be rescued and saved by his com
passion; that I might be washed in
the stream of blood from his bleed
ing side; and that my sins, though
they were as scarlet, might be
white as snow.
1 wrestled lor four long hours in
as much agony as I ever suffered.
At the end ot that time, when 1 had
reached a conclusion, when I had
come to understand that there was
nothing of earth that could avail
me, least of all with Christ, then 1
gave mysell entirely to him, made
an unconditional surrender, and
that moment he seized my soul.
He dipped it in the stream which
was white and pure, and the light
of heaven shone in upon me.
In my new-found joy I rushed
into the presence of wife and chil
dren. I proclaimed the glad ti
dings to their astonished ears, and
they could hardly believe it, though
they saw that some great revolution
had taken place. They knew not
whether it uas a, surrender to
Christ, or whether it had been a sur
render to madness.
But when I went out that even
ing I had three thousand circulars
printed and distributed all over At
lanta, telling the people 1 had found
my Saviour; that I had made
peace with God; and that I would
live a life of righteousness ever af
ter, and desired to make a procla
mation for once and irrevocable.
They gathered at 7 o’clock upon
the public streets at night, and there
before them I proclaimed the fact,
and, blessed be God, I have been
proclaiming it ever since with in
creasing joy, and with the certainty
that my salvation is complete.
Returning home, 1 could see that
Jesus had knocked at the tomb of
my wife’s life, as he did at that of
Lazarus, and had called it forth in
all its pristine strength and beauty,
and its bloom aud blossom have
been on my pathway ever since. I
could see' that my -children had
found tongue to sing the joy and
praise and their hearts had been set
attuned, as they never had been be
fore, to the melody of childhood,
singing to the ears of fatherhood. 1
could see that there was gladness,
wherever I went, upan the faces of
friends and acquaintances; and
when the news had gone abroad in
the land they |vfho had knawn me
abroad sent me their glad congrat
ulations and their encouragement
Blessed be God from the day he
reached down and lilted me up
from the miry pit, and established
my feet upon the rock of Christ
that is higher than we, I have been
going on front joy to joy, a bird of
liberty, singing the praises of m)
Redeemer.

The story published in these
columns recently, from the Roches
ter, N. Y., Democrat and Chron
icle, created a deal ol comment here
as it has elsewhere. Apparently it
caused even more commotion in
Rochester, as the following from
the same paper shows;
Dr. J. B. Henion who is well know
not only in Rochester, but in nearly
every part of America, sent an
extended article to this paper a few
days ago which was duly published,
detailing his remarkable experience
and rescue from what seemed to be
certain death. It would be impossible
to enumerate the personal inquiries
which have been made at our office
as to the validity of the article, but
they have been so numerous that
further investigation of the subject
was deemed necessary.
With this end in view a represen
tative of this paper called on Dr.
Henion at his residence on Andrews
street when the following interview
occured: “That article of yours,
Doctor, has created quite a whirl
wind. Are the statements about the
terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were rescued, such as
you can sustain?’’
‘•Every one of them and many
additional ones. I was bronght so
low by neglecting the -first and
most simple symptoms. I did not
think I was sick. It is true I had
frequent headaches; felt tired most
of the time; couid eat nothing one
day and was ravenous the next;
felt dull pains and my stomach was
out of order, but I did not think it
meant anything serious The medical
profession has been treating symp
toms instead of diseases for years,
and it is high time it ceased. The
symptoms I have just mentioned
or any unusual action or irritation of
the water channels indicate the
approach of kidney diseases more
than a cough announces the coming
of consumption. We do not treat
the cough, but try to held the lungs
We should not waste our time try
ing to believe the headache, pains
about the body or other symptoms,
but go direct y to the kidneys, the
source of most of these ailments.”
“This, then, is what you meant
when you said that moie than one-
half the deaths which occur arise
from Bright’s disease, is it Dac-
tor?”
“Precisely. Thousands of diseases
are torturing people to-day, which
in reality are Bright’s diseases in
some of its many forms. It is a
hydra headed monster, and the
slighest symptoms should strike
terror to every one who has them. I
can look back and recall hundreds
of deaths which physicians declared
at the time were caused by paralysis
apoplexy, heart diseases, pneumonia
malarial fever and other common
complaints, which I see now were
caused by Bright’s disease.”
“And did all these cases have sim
ple symptoms at first?"
“Every one of them, and might
have been cured as 1 was by the
timely use of the same remedy. I
am getting my eyes thoroughly
opened in this matter and think I
am helping others to see the facts
and their possible danger also.”
Mr. Warner, who was visited at
his establishment on North St. Paul
street, spoke very earnestly;
"It is true that Bright’s disease
had increased wonderful, and we
find, by reliable statistics, that from
’70 to ’So, its growth was over 250
per cent. Look at the prominent
men it has carried off, and is taking
off eveiy year, for while man« are
dying apparently of paralysis and
apoplexy, they are really victims
of kidney disorder, which causes
heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy,
etc. Nearly every week the papers
record the death of some prominent
man from this scourge. Recently,
however, the increase has been
checked andt attribute this to the
general use of my remedy.”
“Do you think many people are
afflicted with it to-day who do not
realize it?”
"A prominent professor in New
Orleans medical college was lectu
ring before his class on the subject
of Bright’s disease. He had various
fluids“under m-croscopic analysis,
was showing the students what the
indications of this terrible malady
were. And now, gentlemen,’ he said
‘as we have seen the unhealthy-
indication I will show you how it
appears in a state ol perfect health,
and he submitted his own fluid to
the usual test. As he watched the
results his countenance suddenly
changed—his color and command
both left him and in a trembling
voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have
made a painful discovery; I have
Bright’s disease of the kidneys, And
in less than a year he was dead.
The slightest indications of any
kidney difficulty should be enough
to strike terror to any one.”
You know ot Dr. Henion’s
case?”
“Yes, 1 have both read and heard
of it.”
“It is very wanderful, is it not?"
“No more so than a great many
others that have come to my notice
as having been cured by the same
means.”
“You believe then that Bright’s
disease can be cured?"
“I know it can. I know it from
my own and the experience ot
thousands of prominent persons
who were given up to die by both
their physicians and friends,”
“You speak of you own experie
nce; what was it?”
“A fearful one. I had felt languid
and unfitted tor bnsiness for years.
But I did not know what ailed me
When, however, I found it was
kidney difficulty I thought there
was little hope and so did the
doctors. 1 have since learned that
one of the physicians of this city
pointed me out to a gentleman on
the street one day, saying: ‘There
goesa man who will be dead within
a year.’ I believe his words would
have proved true if I had not prov
identially used the remedy now,
known as Warner’s Safe Cure.”
“Did you make a chemical analy
sis of the case of Mr. H. H. War
ner some three years ago, Doctor?”
was asked Dr. S. A. Lattimore, one
ot the analysts of the state board ol
health.”
“Yes, sir.”
“What did this analysis show
you?”
“A serious disease of the kidney.”
“Dtd you think Mr. Warner could
recover?”
“No, sir. I did not think it possi
ble.”
‘•Do you know anything about
the remedy which cured him?”
“I have chemically analyzed it
and find it pure and harmless.”
Dr. Henion was cured five years
ago and is well and attending to his
professional duties to-day, in this
city. The standing of Dr. Henion,
Mr. Warner and Dr, Lattimore in
the community is beyond question,
and the statements they make can
not for a moment be doubted Dr.
Henion’s experience shows that
Bright’s disease ol the kidneys is
one of the most deceptive and dan
gerous ot alt diseases, that it is
exceedingly common, but that it
can be cured if taken in time.

Besieged Three Days by Indians and Crawl
ing In Mortal Anguish Past their Scouts.
Portltod, Ore., Ncwa.
I was prospecting for gold in
Western Washington, near the Ida-
ho line and about twenty miles
north of the Snake river. Suddenly
I heard a shot, followed by several
others. I turned, and much to my
astonishment, saw scarcely 200
yards away, fifty mounted Black-
foot Indians in full war paint. In
voluntarily I took a run toward the
bluff’and over it I went. I stiuck
twice going ijown, and landed with
out being severely hurt. The In
dians came hovriing like a pack of
hyenas to the euge, and shot at me
over the edge of the precipice. The
bluff cuaved inwardly, and I took
up my station between two large
rocks and was master of the situa
tion. It was a natural fortification.
The Indians went down the bluff',
and concealing themselves, com
menced firing, keeping it up during
the night. I returned their fire oc
casionally.
The next morning they resumed
operations bright and early, and
about noou I sent one to the happy
hunting grounds. I would place
my hat on a stick and hold it above
the rock and they would bang away
and then peer round to see the ef
fects of their shots. The fellow I
plunked showed too- much of
his red hide, and I let
him have it. I fired about
twenty-five shots that day. 1 was
afraid, you see, that my ammunition
would run out, At 7 o’clock that
evening they - made a grand rush,
and I worked my Henry rifle like
a steam pump, and the way she
threw the bullets was a caution. I
had made a dummy out of my coat
and hat, and they nearly ruined
both when I held it above the rock.
Then I let it fall, and they thought
I was a goner, and made a rush to
scalp me.
Three Blackfeet turned Jup their
toes before the rush was stopped,
and when the blood-thirsty wretch
es got back into the brush the way
they threw the lead against the
rocks sounded like a hail storm, and
it actually made my hair stand on
end. •

charge on me with ull ‘their force.
I fired thirty-two shots into the ad-
vancing horde ot deTils, and am
sure I made two good Indians be
fore they retreated. My position
was almost impregnable. They re
treated sullenly, and then remained
very quiet. After 11 o’clock the

therewas the occasional crackling ot
a dry twig as the weary watchers
slightly moved their positions. By
12 o'clock even this ceased. My
enemies had evidently became tired
and gone to sleep.
By 1 o’clock the moon had got
behind them, which was an advan
tage to me, and I thought it was
time for me to mosey. It took ’ tne
two hours to crawl three hundred
yards, which waj the outside line
of the cordon they had drawn in a
semi-circle around the position 1
occupied. I had my. gun cocked,
and in such a position that I could
instantly blow my brains out if 1
saw that I was about to be captur
ed. The brush was dry, and the
slightest motion would make it
crackle. The miuutes seemed ages
of torture. I passed within ten
feet of four Indians. Two were on
the ground in their blankets fast
asleep, and twb watchers were sit
ting alongside each other also fast
asleep. The extreme peril I was in
almost paralyzed me, but I glided
like a snake past them, although I
could scarcely restrain an impulse
to kill the wretches right there and
then. This perilous crawl was what
turned my hair gray. I had never
known what fear actually was till
then. I felt the awful peril of my
position sc keenly that it seemed
at times as though my heart actu
ally stopped beating ana that the
blood curdled in my veins. Many
a night since in my dreams have I
