That this worlds strife is ended
That all we feared and all we sought
In one deep sleep is blended.

Mr.. NJ. l.. Peterson, who lives on
Butter creek in this county, was one
who did not run when the Indians be-
came hostile in the summer of 1878.
| While carrying dispatch from Capt.
Throckmorton to the boys who were
attacked at Willow Springs, he was
shot by an Indian, the bullet driving
the buckle of his overalls, which he
had purchased short time before of
Mr.. HeXter in Pendleton, into his
flesh in the region of his hip. Though
thus wounded Mr.. Peterson had his
revenge, for before he retreated he
killed two Indians. For three DAYS
after being thus wounded he had moth
ing to eat but leaves. About twelve
days after the main portion of the
buckle was extracted, but the tongue,
a piece of heut wire about two inches
| long, was still left in his flesh to the
depth of two or three inches. Mr. Pc
terson went to Portland to have it ex-
tracted, but the surgeons there told
him the foreign substance was only
piece of his Imagination, and that the
pain he experienced was the result of
the wound. But by persistent pres
sure the troublesome wire was at length
forced to the surface at point two or
three inches below where it entered,
and few days ago, one end of it hav-
ing made its appearance through the
skin, it was pulled out, and Mr.. Peter
son has it in his pocket instead of his
flesh. Its extraction relieved him at
once of the pain which he has eXper-
fenced for over four years.-EdSt Ore
