OF bis pursuers. The mounted In
diahs we're dashing alter bin az ION
speed, md firing their fevolyers az
they came. The other four had as
ccnJed a small o@ninencc, and were
firing their rifles. A ball from one
OF tho Former sorapeJ l-is's head and
carried off bis hat. Lutte says ho at
first thought The top OF lis skull had
boon torn opea, but vas satisfied on
that point when, after feeling for his
brains, he failed to fad them.
Ia the meantime his own firing had
not been without effect. He first ,
shot down two Of the horses the In.
dams were riding, then as he fired .
again he saw the belt around The =
third mounted Indian fail from bis :
body, and Immediately after The In =
dian fell himself. The other two In "
dams ran to his assistance, while one :
Of those further behind caught bis .
horse. During this time as was at, a
forwards ascertained, he had run /.
about three hundred yards, had emp. n
tied bis pistol, roturDed it to the hol,
ster, and had just drawn his Win
chester carbine, when a shot from
ono OF tie Indians on the emineace 81
went through his horses loins and W
brought him down. Lutte lost no pl
time in seeking a shelter in an exca~ su
VatIon among the rocks. m'
His dog during his fight had kept a
close to his horses heels, and now err
followed him to the edge of his place IN
shelter, where he took up his posi> VT
ton and began to furiously bay the hr
Indians. No amount of persuation Oh
could induce this faithful animal to en-
down and share his masters la
but kept at bis post, exposed col
10 a constant ire until o shot from a
'ne OF the Indians ended his guard oil
lUty forever. the
-Four OF the Indians having secured sug
OF shelter within about one The
hundred yards Of him, kept up a pref paI
constant fire, which was returned ry
" Lutte for an hour or more, until rus
be approach Of night, when the In IN
ians disappeared, and Lutte, eau. lrfl
lously creeping from his hiding rem
lace, made his way home. The lite
p~linters Of rock torn up by the balls, sum
near his head, considerably nav
lcerated his face. viii
The next morning an examination my

The three dead horses were pan

ad been disturbed, showing that the pam
ldians must have left hurriedly, as it cove
their custom to secure these things =
henever possible. The belt men, Il

oned above, with pistol holster at main
Iched, was also found where Lutte ard
reported he had seen it fall. In lot .
ontit was but a narrow strip of Gfteel
and bore the mark of the pis, d
ball which had rent 1t ia twain. =

It was found, on which the wounded Tb,
