Remarkable Escape.

John Laefarr, TALL fine looking
Frenchman, with hair perfectly white,
which strangely contrasts with face 50
young, was pointed out to an lndepend-
ent reporter. He is employed on Chas,
ID. lIard's ranch, few miles from town
Although his hair is white, he is only %
years old, is coupactly built and stands
six feet high. lie left Fort Lincoln in
- as packer for Clusters little band,
which rode to their death on that bright
Summers day at the little Big Horn.
When the fight began the pack train was
three miles distant, and was attacked by
Indians The packers were seven in
number and Immediately scattered
Only one escaped-John Laefarr. The
instant after the attack the horse which
he rode was shot dead. Another horse,
without saddle or bride, stood close by,
Laetarr noosed rope, placed it in the
horses mouth, jumped upon his back
and started at full gsllop. The firing
and yelling were ceaseless. Laefaar had
only rode few yards when he was shot
through the neck; bullet plowed his
cheek, and the Indians were fast closing
in and heading him off Another bull
let struck him in the thigh. He killed
the nearest Indian, but it was no time
to linger, for he was headed off on both
sides, aud deep, yawning precipice, 20
feet wide was before him. The desper-
ate BOY headed for the chasm, rather
preferring death at that place to death
the hands of the Indians. Urging the
horse to his highest speed he made the
fearful leap and cleared the gap, but the
noble horse fell dead a few yards from
the precipice, riddled with bullets, John
crawlel from under him and as he
started to run was shot in the body.
Half mile distant was a belt of timber,
whose friendly shelter he was seeking.
Barefooted, weak, and faint from loss of
blood, and the bullets raining after him,
the boy kept on with all the speed he
could over the pri,kly pears and sharp
pointed stones. The Indians stopped on
the other side of the precipice, and the
boy succeeded in making the timber.
Here he laid three days without food Or
water, and very weak from the loss of
bood. The fourth morning he got up
and attempted to walk, but only walked
fifteen or twenty feet, when he fell down
exhausted. Three Crow Indians saw
him as he fell, made signs and started
toward him, but he did not know a
Crow from Sioux, and emptied his re-
volver at them. The Crows finally came
up and took him to Reno's command.
Arriving there, the boys told him his
hair was white, but he did not believe
them until mirror was procured, and
he was appalled, to find that his hair,
which five days before was as black as a
ravens wing, was now white as snow.
He was taken ON steamboat to Fort
Lincoln, where he remained five months
IN the hospital, and finally recovering,
drifted to Montana. Indepen-

Almost a Murder.

Saturday night last DR.. Swap, of Salem
township, was called on to make a pro-
iessional visit to a gentleman living a
few miles south of Humboldt He passed
through that city, stopping to get some
medicine, and while passing through a
ravine near Paul Fishers farm, a man
rose up from the right hand bank and
shot him, the ball entered his breast and
coming out at his back. Our informant
told US that the general impression SEEM
ed to be that he was mistaken for some
one else.
LATER-Since the above was written
there comes curious rumor that he was
not shot but that he:is insane. Thursday,
papers were issued by the Probate Judge
and (if he was not shot) his examination
will take place to-day at the court room.
The full particulars of what may turn
out to he a curious case can be given
next week.

pie of trunks which they broke open and
carried off such articles As they fancied.
The loss foots up about two hundred

be no general suspicion as to who the
parties were, although tramps were sus-
pected. Taken in connection with the
other late robberies about town, many

talent. Three such attempts made with
in ten days certainly call for active steps
to be taken to rid the city of suspicious
characters.
