particulars Of daring exploit of n lady.

Red Bluff, Is living in a log house on the

stock and Mrs. Donelson was looking after
her poultry a short distance from the house.
Mrs Donelson started for the house, and
was intercepted by two indians, Throwing
them from her, a third caught her by the
shoulder. She knocked him down and
reached the house in safety barred the door
The indians rested one or more rifles on the
window and leveled at the woman, who an
