was a family from Ohio named Falconer,
consisting of Robert Falconer, his wife
Sarah, and an only daughter, Bessie, about
II years old. These people had amassed a
small fortune, and We're looking forward to
the time when their daughter would marry
some thrifty farmer, and be placed in such
position of independence that they could
leave this world without any apprehensions
regarding her future. The girl was enga-
gcd to young farmer who was possessed
Of stout arm, warm heart, indomitable
courage, and good homestead, and had
nothing happened, would have been mar
ried last Friday evening. The time for
the marriage arrived so did the bride
groom and invited guests, but no bride APP
peared. Her parents, supposing she was
in her room, went to the door to warn her
that the time for the ceremony had arrived,
when to their dismy they found the room
empty 1t was early evening, and not yet
dusk, so they walked to the window and
cndeavored to discover the truant. They
saw rapidly disappearing through the tim
Der on the creek bank man carrying in
his arms the form of young girl, which
from the dress they Immediately recognized
as that of their daughter The alarm was
given, and the whole party, well armed, i'm
mcdiately started III pursuit. Within a few
minutes theywere within gunshot of the fugi-
tive, but were unable to use their weapons in
consequence of his shielding his body with
the form Of the bride elect The young lover
was almost frantic, and ovcrtaking the almost
breathless abductor, he seized him, and, after
brief struggle, wrested the girl from him.
The abductor was lazy Cheyenne Indian,
who had loafed around the neighborhood
for year or two. At the same time that
the farmer regained his sweetheart, the
savage, by skillful movement and an eel
like wriggle, escaped from his hold, and
started on Il keen run down the creek The
pursurers, however, were too much for him,
and one of their number brought him to
the ground by well aimed bullent from a
needle-gun. 1t was soon ascertained that
the red man was only wounded in the thigh.
He was taken prisoner and lodged in a
neighboring dug-out, from which he es-
capped in the night, carrying the needle-gun
ball in his thigh, and has not since been
heard of, although search has been made
by the friends, Of the young lady, whose
wedding has been indefinitely postponed, in
consequence of a serious attack of brain
fever, the result of her fright at the treat
mcnt OF the savage.
