Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, stated that he was

We are given TO understand from very good au-

Beaver Dam Republican, Of Wisconsin, respecting
conflict between Mr. Walter James, son Of the Br

The statement OF the Black Republican paper, We
must say, bears Alsehood on ia face. None but .
madman would 60 alone to bully attack three
strong and well armed Indians In their wigwam;
and the fact Of man powerful and rcsolute to
disable all three in Few minutes combat suffering
his gun TO be snatched from him. shows sufficiently
that he was tAken by surprise, and neser expected
an assault
No man had his arm cut off; and, indeed. however
strong Mr.. James may be, should naturally think
it is beyond his might to cat mans arm of with
the blow ofa hunting knife. ,ry
