some time suspected his wife of infdelity to her
marriage vows he accordingly laid his plans to
entrap her and her paramour. On Wednesday,
April 18th, he informed his wife that business
called him to Cincinnati for some days. Instead
of coming here, he secreted himself in or near
the town. Learning Frdaynight that he would
probably find the guilty parties, he repaired to
his house and discovered Hospital Steward Nell

and attempted to shoot Nelson but missed him.
Nelson then ran and jumped from the window, a
distance Of thirty feet to the ground, when Dnges

DESPERATE FIGHT AMONG THE CHIppEwAs.-
The Star of Tuesday gives the following account
of fight among party of Chippewas, now in
Washington;
In the United States Hotel, about "a O'Clock
this morning, desperate encounter occurred be.
tween Hole-in- the-day, the Chief of the Chippe-
was, and Look-around, one of his young war
riors, in which pistols and knives were used, and
blood was freely shed on both sides. From the
statements of persons present it appears that
the Indians had been indulging rather freely in
Intoxicating drinks last night, and this morning,
Look-around being drunk, was decorating his
head-dress with ornaments that Hole-in- the day
thought were above his grade, and he told Look.
around that he was not man enough to wear
them yet.
This provoked Look around and he assaulted
tue Chief, and fired two shots from pistol, one
of which took effect near the neck aud behind
the right ear of the Chief, and passing around
his head came out of his mouth. Hoe-in-t the
lay had pocket kpife which he used upon his
opponent cutting him across the nose near the
forehead and below the gristle The comba-
tants were not separated until each was very
weak from loss of blood They were taken to
their rooms in the hotel, aud proper surgical at
tenton secured for them. Look-around is not
seriOusly injured, but fears are entertained fol
the safety of Hole-in.the day, who, though sen
sible, is very weak from loss OF blood.
