A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.-AnOther incident rela-
tive to this same little girl will nsrrate; had it
from Capt. Walkers lips. On Friday last Major
Hoyt stopped for moment at the house Of Capt.
Thorn, and told them to send over girl TO Capt.
Walkers to let him know that Shannon and the
troops were coming. The little girl in question,
Miss Dolly Thorn, not more than nine or ten years
old, | should think, went over Capt. Walker
picked up bis rife and hid IN the ravlne The
Governor and the troops came, searched, found
nothing, and went away. Shortly after they left,
and Just as the little girl was about starting home,
these GeOreians came up, and were for taking
Cant. Walkers pony that was staked out On the
prairie in front of the house. With wonderful tact
and GOODNESS the little girl went to the pony put her
arms round its neck as its head was down.
"ls that your pony, SIS asked one OF thet
"Yes, Sir"
"Well, we must have it; the Governor told us
We must take it,"
ITS my poDy-you can't have it,"
Here they threatened her, and one Of them, it is
said, although / can hardly credit it, presented a
pistol. The little girl did not relinquish her hold
of the pony, although she was nearly moved to
tears. At last one of them said: well, well,
els YOU may keep it," and turned away from her.
With great GOODNESS and prudence she Embossed its
halter, put on Capt. Walkers saddle and bride,
and started home with it.
