Died.
We regiet very much to chroni-
!e the death of Mr. J. W. Brown,
who pas e 1 away at his home
here last Tuesdav morning at
(’clock. Mr Brown was original*
ly of Florida. He was born in
Starke Fla. in 4808 and moved
with his parents, J. C and M. K,
Brown, nt the age of 6 vearg to
Hawthorne Fla., when at t he age
if 10 years he was united with♦ ie
Methodist church of that place,
md has lived a devoted Christian
life ever since- At the age of 16
rears he stnrt"d to work for the
Plant Syst 1 m R R. and has been
in their employ ever since, hvamg
;e*ved them as agent at this place
for some tuns until about two
veeks iico when he was attache
by Typhoid fever which caused hii
leath. He leaves n wife and
nother together with one brother
and a host of frisnds to mourn liiit
dea'h. The news extends its deep,
■at sympathy to the bereaved ones-
Fairy Time .
You may talk as }ou will but
the fairy times
Wore thj happiest days of all,
YV hen up from their homes a
few dark rhymes
The spirit of earth would call,
0b! from my heart how I pray
and vow
If rhymes had but half such
virture now,
:o:-----
Oh for the days when giants
w<Te rife
With their towers and painted
halls,
When valiant knights with
a charmed life
Rod“ up to Castle walls
And knocked with a loud dread-
ful clang
1 ill the roof, the halls and
greenwood rang,
. When gentle and fair ones
golden hair
Were wooed by princes in
And knights with invisaible
t” "ear,
Could see and yet-never be
Are there any such knights
gallant and true
To be met with now? I r midi
knew.
:o:
Wh ii 1 1 ,e fair as the hand of
wizzard stirred
Were bound in n dreamy spell,
When maidens spoke and
each word,
Diamonds and rubies fell.
I wonder if any fair lady.now
Could open her lips and let
nionds flow.
-;o:--
Alt, talk as you will, but
fairy times
Were the merraestdaye of all,
When uji from their homes a
durk rhymes
The Genii ><i earth would call.
Oh! hoo I wish that
agai a
Had only one half the
they had then.

Arklchita. n typical Indinu. was <■'
Scout at Fart Sissetau. .Dakota. In tSS'J
Although he knew hluglish w. .
held the old -Indian hatred of its u
and would never speak it except uuiiei
extraordinary eircuuistauces. lie atoed
about live feet nine Inches In height
was slender, but wiry, and was about
34 years of age Ordinarily he was
slow and sedate in his actions very
dignified; hot when the necessity arose,
be could - be aw Quick a» i» Hash, acd
had. like every Indian on the north
western plains, a pair of* eyes that
could equal any Held^lass
FT is services- for he had been eii
ployed as a scout for some years hat)
been very valuable to the governmeut.
and. in recognition of this fact, tin oil!
cer in command had secured authority
from the war .department to promote
him to the rank of sergeant; conse¬
quently lie went around in a neat uui-
form with cUevrous and stripes, very
miii'h- impressed with his own Impor¬
tance. which he considered second only
to that of the eomuiandiug officer; and
he look care that every one else also
should respect his rank and dignity.
As his uative name t» 'the Sioux for
"soldier," It is easily seen why he was
so uanied; but he had still another
mime, which the Indians had given
ldm before his entering military cir
cles. and that, translated into English,
was the “graaswalker," or “trailer,"
from his absolutely marvelous ability
to find the trail of anything that left
even the slightest trace on the ground
as it passed over it.
A desperate soldier named Brice
broke jail one night and was pursued
the following.morning. The trail led to
the west for a tritte over a mile; then it
turned north for a quarter of a mile
and we followed until we came to a
tree at the edge of a slough to the
northwest of the fort, called the "gar
den bar slough.” Here Arklchita point
■d under the tree and said Brice had
.tin down there to rest
The trail here led into the slough.
A Dakota "slough" is a shallow take,
the water of which is from six
to three feet deep, with a soft,
bottom, but not generally miry. Th*
; center of the slough Is usually fre*
from grasses or weeds, hut along the
edges, from 20 to 00 yards out.
tide grass grows.
This particular slough was a
long and varied from an eighth to
quarter of a mile In width, and
was a foot of water covering as
soft mud. During the night the
UAd rolled the water up considerably
