A CLOSE CALL.
A Good Brothers Ready VII Alone Saves Him from m TRseemly Scandal.
 Evansville Argus

Evansville Argus.
 The people Of a little town in Warrick county have been hanging right over the brink of fragrant church scandal but are pot aware Of the fact, nor will they be until this copy of tue Argus reaches its readers over there. Just be fore the close of the services last Sun day Q good brother walked forward to the pulpit, handed the minister an Rn- nouncement as he thought, and asked the minister to read 1t to the. eongrega- ton before he dismissed them. Just before time was called on the doXology the minister said: Brother Bramley has handed me the following" and in a clesr voice he read the note, which ran as follows:
 My Own Pet Bram: Are you never coming to see me again? lam dying to see my darling once more and gaze into his beloved eyes. The old mummy that calls herself your wife will never find it out. How can you endure her? Come darling, to one who truly loves you. Your own and only MA IT."
 The good brother had handed in the wrong announcement. At the close of the reading the minister looked horrur stfucki tue cen Zre-dtlOl stared at brfgn- ley with cold, hard stBres, and bis wife rose in her seat and glared at him like a tigress. He was equal to the occasion, however. and rising calmly, with look of perfect resignation on his face, he said: Brothers and sisters, t may 3D. pear str 'nge that l should ssk your be- loved pastor to rehd such a terrible thing as that from the pulpit, but the best way to fight the devil is to fight him boldly, face tO face. The writer of that note is unknown to me, but IS evil dently some depraved child of sin who Is endeavOring to besmirch my Chris tim reputation. l shall use every en- deavor to ferret out the writer, and, if discovered will fearlessly proclaim her name and hold her up to the contempt of all Christian people" He sat down amid n murmur of appreciation and sympathy, and his wife wanted to hug him right before the congregation. That evening be told the writer of the note what had occurred, md remarked, with a grin, that it was the closest call he ever had in his life

On the Huh instant, says the Prescott Miner, while Charles SIXby, Bob Sixsby and Lou HOudon were at their home in Ionto BasIn, q young colt came flashing up to their corral dragging an Indian rope. Charles Si1sby and Houdon im- mediateiy saddled their animals, and arming tn mselves, went to ascertain the cause, leaving Bob to guard the house. Shortly after their departure,
 Bob, Tn going after water. discovered large body of Indians coming to the house, when firing commenced. He soon reached the house and there held them at bay for over thirty-siK hours. In the meantime, the mule and horse ridden by his brother and Houdon came into camp with their saddles on and dragging rope with the limb of tree attached thereto. Bob emerged from the house to secure the animals, when the Indians killed the mule and wounded him, the Jall striking him in the left breast, only flesh wound. how ever. The Indians, finding that they conld not dislodge him, retreated. In a short time afterward, he was reinforced by the hust n brothers, who accidental ly came along. From there the Indians went to Meadows ranch, between Green Valley ard Strawberry Valley seven miles from the former, on the east side of the Verde rIver, and made an attack on that place. Here the fight was very severe, one of the brothers-Henry- having both arms broken, and the other two being shot in the stomach. No trace of the father of the boys has been found, and it IS feared that he has been killed. The Indians killed some stock and drove off others.

CARRIED BACK TO PENNSYLVANIA
Some weeks ago at colored boarding
house in Pittsburg. Pa, negro put al So
mic in the food and made the boarders
dangerously i'll. The next day, Melvin
Fry, formerly of Augusta county, the only
boarder who was not sick, fled. Last Sat
urday, Chief of Police Waters, went out
to the cabin occupied by Fry's wife, near
this city, and found him hid in bed in
which his wife lay sick, Fry being between
the beds. The prisoner admitted that he
had bought the arsenic but denied that he
had administered it. 1t is believed that it
was administered by Julia Watkins the
cook, also formerly of this county, to whom
Fry gave it. She is already in custody in
Pittsburg. Saturday evening, Capt. Wa
tiers and Sergeant Runnels started in
| charge Of Fry for Pittsburg.
We learn from Capt Waters who has re-
| turned from Pittsburg, that at Harper's
Ferry, Fry made full and voluntary
| confession to him. He said that the OBJ
ject of himself and Julia Watkins, his ac-
complete, was to kill off the family and got
