people of Chattanooga. A few weeks
ago the jewelry store of Henry Deateh,
in that city, was robbed of number of
watches. Andy Williams aud Joe John.
son, two negro boys, were convicted of
the theft, and sent to Jail for twenty days.
While thus confined, Andy Williams
sent word to the jeweler that If he would
accompany him to a cornfield FIVE miles
from Chattanooga, the watches could be
recovered, as they had been buried there
The jeweler was very busy aud sent his
brother, Adolph Deutch, who, with sin
gular imprudence, agreed to 90 with the
negro without guard. Several days
after Deutch was found murdered in the
corn6eld where the treasure was said TO
be hidden. The unfortunate man had
evidently been digging, and while in that
posture vas struck over the head with a
fatal bludgson. The murderer fed to
the Chickamauga swamps, but is being
closely pursued.

The California papers are calling the
attention of farmers to this plant, and
advising the experiment of raising it for
market. 0ne farmer there has put up q
press, and is crushing from his beans 39l
per cent of pure oil, which is little more
than five gallons to the hundred pounds
of beans. Oil being worth 81 so per
gallon the gross yield is Sl2 so per hun
dred weight. And we see that one field
produced fifteen hundred pounds to the
acre. This is much better than cotton at
twenty cents per ponnd, taking all the
uncertainties of the latter crop into
consideration.

A young Lady Abducted bv Indians.


Mr.. Charles Benton, Of Onalasks, in
company with Miss Jennie 0lds, visited
some friends near Chippewa Falls, Wis.
While en- route to that place in a private
conveyance they passed by On Indian
encampment and had some joking con-
versation with them, in the course of
which some of the Indians said that Miss
o. would make their chief splendid
squaw. They passed on and no notice
was taken of what the Indians said
After having seen their friends and while
coming back, about nine miles this side
of Chippewa Falls, the young lady was
taken suddenly ILL., and both stopped at a
farm house near at hand, The girl was
better in the evening, and all retired,
Miss Olds in room on the ground floor,
and Mr. Benton in room up stairs.
About an hour after going to bed, some
twenty Indians came into the house and
tried to force the door of Mr. BIS room,
and while doing so he shot two with his
revolver, and then Jumped out of the
window and ran behind shed, and re-
loaded his revolver, and came back to
defend the girls room, but in the mean.
time the Indians had disappeared in the
dark and the girl also. Whether the
girl was really abducted or ran away in
the dark and hid, and is safe in some un.
frequented spot, is not yet known, as it
only happened four days since.
The country in the vicinity is being
searched closely by parties who went out
for that purpose Mr.. Benton was in
this city yesterday, getting photographs
from negative at Heath's, for the
guidance of strangers in recognizing her,
and a party of six young men, friends
of the unfortunate young lady, started
to day from Onalaska in pursuit of the
red devils, and to rescue Miss Olds. Mr..
Benton will start in day or two with
