tremor OF my lip, and answered quietly. as

Yeu have changed too, Frank, but I

and from every indication, it was evident
that the purpose was to conceal their rob-
berry by brutal murder. Mr.. Harper wa:
then informed by one of the party who
could imperfectly speak English, that he
must run for his life through this line; ant
l: he reached the place where the guns
were stacked, he should receive no further
injury.
This was most critical and perilous mo.
ment with Mr.. Harper. To run through
this murderous line, appeared to him as
equivalent to certain destruction. A rae,
for life, unarmed and de.enseless, and sur
rounded with merciless savages, was nc
other than race TO death. He determined
to effect his escape, or die in the attempt
He resolved to make bold effort for deliv-
erance, rather than suffer himself to be
mutilated By the xnifes of the Indians. Al
length the word was given for him to start
Nerving himself with all the energy he
could summon. Mr.. Harper, with the ra.
Pidity of thought, turned upon his guard
and struck him fearful blow that sent hin
reeling to the earth. Then instead of run,
ming the gauntlet, the prisoner broke thro
the line over his PROSTATE enemy, and fed
with the speed OF the W nd. across the
prairie. Occasionally he turned his head to
wa:ch the mogement- OF the Indians; and he
was grariied to know that they had no
started in pursuit. After proceeding a hal
mile, he again looked back and oeheld ;ht
savages clustering around the body of theil
ia lien companion. Mr.. Harper still con.
iinued his fight with unabated vigor, unit
he arrived at a sett tlement twenty mile:
from the scene OF danger.
The gentleman, whose perilous adventure
with the Indians we have Just been nara
ing, is about tn rty-two years of age. He
is a man of athletic mould and OF great mus.
Ecuar power; and withal, he possesses the
true courage of pioneer. To these qrali-
ties he owes his deliverance. Our reader:
are assured that the circumstances which
we have attempted to describe are truthful
10 every particular.

From the Des Moines uowa) Citizen
Adventure with the Indians.

. A gentleman by the name of James NJ.
Harper, living in the vicinity of Wiscotta
had a most narrow escape from band oil
hostile Indians, a few weeks stree. We
received the particulars from his own lips
and we have the utmost confidence in the
narration. Mr.. Harper had been in the
northern part of the State on business, and
while there. he disposed of his team, intend
ing to return home on foot. While travelling 9
toward home, he was obliged to cross a
prairie, about thirty miles in extent. This
prairie is .i;ua,ed in the vicinity of the
Brush Fork or Coon river For many miles,
not a house was visible on the desolate
prairie. but the solitary pedestrian, uncon-
scous OF danger, continued on lis journey.
After travelling about ten miles or this
prairie, he saw at distance, "a parry of men
whom he supposed to be hunters; but he
soon lost sight of them, and pursued his
journey without apprehending the dang, r
that awaited him. After proceeding about
half mile further, and as he approached
the brow OF hill, he discovered the same
party which be lore had sttracted his atten-
ton They proved to be a band OF Indians
lying in wait for him. They were ten in
number, ard their chief was Frenchmar
of alf-breed.
| Upon his approach they presented thcil
guns as if to fire, but immediately lowered
them, and surrounded their intended victim
Mr. Harper saw that resistance was useless
and remained passive while the Indians
robbed him of more than $500 in gold
They took all the money he had in hi,
possession except Slo, which, from being
ingeniously secreteds on his person, the,
were unable to find. He was then takel
about six miles from the road, and prepara
tious were made to torture, and, perhaps
murder him. A strong Indian, of Herculea
\ proportions, was stationed to guard owe
him. He held in his hand q giittering knife
ready to strike If the prisoner shou d Civ
any intimations OF escape or resistance.
The other Indians, having stacked the
guns about one hundred and fifty yards irol
their victim,returned and formed line wit
the intention of forcing Mr.. Hsrper to ru
the gauntlet. Each one had his knife Grawr

the practical utility OF the institution.

TO my mind the recent game and fish laws,

consider them an invasion of some of their
privileges, yet, if the harmless creatures
could, they wouldsteDder a vote of thanks
for the protection thus afforded them
