A COiOrcd sIan Who Claims TO
dave KILLED Tecunseh.

Pittsburgh Post, 22d.l
The will of William H. Graham,
deceased, colored man, was filed iD
the registers Office on Saturday. The
deceased was colored man, and all
his property consists in claim on the
government for $500 services with
General Harrison during the war with
Tecumseh, and the deceased claims
in his will that he was the identical
individual who killed the great Indian
chief, The deceased was about LOG
years old, and leaves his very doubt
tul claim to Peter Barns. also colored,
who had taken care Of him during
the last four years of his life.
Graham was wounded in the leg at
the battle of the Thames, when Te-
cumseh was killed, and was wounded
in the hip by a piece of she'll during
the Mexican war. He was entitled
to a pension of eighteen dollars year
from the government, but never drew
it, preferring to let 1t accumulate un-
til he had enough to pay some one
who would keep him all his lite. The
money, of course, cannot. now be paid
by the government. Tho honor of
having killed Tecumseh hasheretofore
been given to Colonel r. NJ. Johnston,
who was afterwards member of con
gress, United States senator and vice.
president. Graham told that he had
shot Tecumseh while the latter was
lying in ambush to shoot one of the
principal officers. 1t is barely posi-
Bile that his story may he correct.

A Big Rnce.

Sam Williams was chased by a
crowd of brother darkies this fore
noon in south Memphis. After run
ming him down, he drew a vicious
looking knife and tried to carve hall
dozen fellows who had been running
him, Sam then had 50 so taken from
him, then he was escorted to the
calaboose where be was locked up.
The trouble was caused by Sam play
ing confidence on Hiram Henderson,
then snatching $l1 80 in cash from
Hiram and running off with in. On
the person Of Sam two skeleton keys,
capable of opening almost any door,
and two decks of confidence cards
were found. Sam must be bad.

man than that word? 1t is the con-
sequence of a dog bite. Is it not
wrong that such dangerous animals
should run at large in well-regulated
community Is it not more than
right that the owner Of dogs should
pay register fees, which revenue, when
applied for sanitary purposes, would be
at least enhancing benefit out of a
dangerous nuisance?
Besides, if ever a person should be
injured by the bite Of dog, the owner
thereof could then be easily identified
and be held responsible for any dam
age. tits to be hoped, Mr.. Editor,
that your editorial in question will
have the due consideration of our
Legislative council as we'll as our local
and state boards of health, and that
you will not rest in hurling your
thunderbolts at that dog nuisance
until every dog is killed in the Tax
ing District for which the register fee
has not been paid or granted.

SNAKES.
Narrow Escape Ofa Tramp from
a Terrible Death.

Harrison ark Times.
On Sunday last German butcher
by the name of Hans Wiger passed
through our town en- route for Little
Rock. where, he stated, he had many
friends. After travelling as far as the
first crossing Of Davis creek he be-
came somewhat fatigued, and, as their
was no house in sight, concluded to
rest himself upon some fiat rocks,
which formed quite an inviting rest
ing-plaee by the roadside. Exhausted
in mind as well as in body he soon
fell asleep, and all was blank to
MIN until he was aroused with a
start and the realization that he was
in the clutches of some one or some
thing. Looking down, such a sight
met his eyes as would have made the
stOutest heart bound with agitation
clasping both right and left leg were
two rattlesnakes, of the diamond spe-
cies, coiled from the foot up and look
ing him greedily in the face from both
sides. 1t was a moment to try the
nerve of the brayest hero known to
history, and we need hardly say Mr..
W. trembled from head to foot, but,
knowing that his salvation was in
action rather than thought, he dropped
back as if shot, and lay as one dead;
how long he remained in this predica-
ment is hard to tell, as under
such circumstances minutes lengthen
into hours and hours into
days, but some time after dark both
snakes, becoming wearied, no doubt.
slowly uncoiled themselves, and, after
crawling underhis neck and around
his head several times, moved quietly
away. 1t is needless to say our Teu-
tonic friend made tracks for the near
est house, and fell faintiug while trying
to climb the fence to enter. After
some little trouble he was revived,
but it was found that during his lay
Ing still, blood had oozed from his
eyes and mouth; his hair which he
said before was raven black, had
almost an iron-gray cast. Persons
cannot be too careful how they ex-
pose themselves to such dangers.
