Kissed by an Indian.

Our champion boot and shoe man re-
ceived marked attention from an Indian
squaw yesterday. This squaw, Mrs.
Dirty Mouth, came into the shoe shop to
beg some leather. She was penniless,
but in her appreciative heart she bore a
tender regard for the liberal pale face.
and determined 70 reward him with one of
the most precious gifts in her power TO
bestow. She watched her opportunity,
and before the good shoemaker was aware
OF her intention, she planted q loving
kiss square in his countensnce. The
shoemaker made one leap into the air
and uttered curses loud and deem. Mrs.
Dirty Mouth fed to the bosom of her
tribe. convinced that her Charms were I'M
appreciated by the pale face.

county, anu well known TO all the older
residents on the Walnut. MIR. BellpOrt
was accompanied by Mrs. Mosier. and a
fair. girlish looking lady to whom We
were introduced as Mrs. Beliport. 1t was
true. Another of our gay bachelors had
met his fate, and been securely caught in
the silken tolls of Hymen. An adieu TO
frontier life, we suppose, will now be
hidden. The saddle, the camp life, and
free air of the prairie, We presume. will
be exchanged for the ,giided walls and
more prosaic conventiOnaiities of the
East. The happy pair, We learn, intend
proceeding from here to the mountains,
where they will remain for number Of
weeks. when they will return to Ohio.
Our best wishes go with them Walnut
Valley Times.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bellport arrived IN this
city last week and are stopping at the
Dodge House.

West gave evidence that the band ex-
pected through here daily were near the
city. Their whereabouts as soon ascer-

paid them visit during the evening.
Being one of the many who INDUCED in
an interview with these government
wards, We endeavored to ascertain as
much about them as possible.
They were encamped about nine miles
west of the city, on the level bank of the
Arkansas, near the waters edge. The
tents, about one hundred in number.
were pitched in q circle, leaving an open
space of several acres in the center.
There were tents enough SO that none
were compelled to sleep outside. To
those not familiar with Indian scenes,
this village of wild men was as interesting

larger number of inhabitants than Dodge

evening when we arrived at the camp.

under their tents, while many Of the
squaws were cooking over the camp fires
