ployed, whose name was John Cunningham, went
out fnr the purpose of seeing what they were.
Mr.. Thompson soon after heard noise, and upon
looking discovered Cunningham running towards
home pursued by three Indians. The Indians shot
three arrows into him, and Just as he reached the
house he fell dead. Mr.. Thompson ran into the
house and fired three shots from revolver at
them, but without effect. The Indians then closed
on the house and set fire to it, Thompson made
his way out aud having two guns loaded, fired on
them, and made his escape. AS he was leaving
he heard the reporhof gun. The next day he
went back and found the dead body of a man

will be recognized at once when we call
him John Smith, happened 10 60 into
grocery establishment, and understanding
that silver change was in demand, in-
qured what premium they paid for it,
AMI was informed five per cent. There
upon he drew ninety-Gve cents in change
and handed it over to the grocery man,
and received therefor a regular dollar
bill. This satisfactory speculation, or
something else, led our friend into the
extravaganza of calling for glass of
beer, which was furnished and drank,
when he drew forth the identical dollar
bill and rendered it in payment, which was
received and ninety seven cents in change
handed back AT the last date, our
grocery man was trying to figure up
the profits of glass of beer.
