TEXAS NEws-The following account of a des-
perate fight with party Of Indians, is copied from
the San Antonio Ledger:
ION Saturday evening, June 80, some fifteen
Indians surrounded the house of Mr.. Westfall,
who is well known to most of our citizens, and
who lives the Leona, some thirty-fve miles be-
low Fort Inge, and in this county. The attack
was made upon Mr.. Westiall while he was absent
from the house, leaving at the time no occupants
in it but Frenchman named Louis, and large
dog. 1t seems that the Indians had been lying in
wait for some time, and took this opportunity to
attack him. Mr.. Westfall, however, succeeded in
getting back to his house wounded in a dangerous
manner; the ball striking him in the left breast
high up, and coming out at his back, under the
opposite shoulder.
He fastened the door, and the Indians then COM
menced an attack on the house. Louis and West
fall now exchanged shots with them in rapid sue
cession but Westfall was fast failing from loss of
blood. Louis approached an aperture in the wall
In order to make sure aim, and was shot through
the heart, fell and expired. The faithful dog. on
seeing Louis fall, and the blood streaming from
his body, became frantic with rage, and rushing
out Of a small aperture, sprang among the Indians
seized one and tore every garment, from his body,
and was on the eve of killing him, when he was
shot and overpowered by the demons In human
shape that surrounded him. Poor dog, he has
nobly sacrificed his life in defence of his master.

Westfan, ovcrpowered by the lose Of blood, could
only support himself now by holding to the walls
of the house; but nothing daunted, he tore large
