ounuay morning Mdrsnal Iyue
was waited upon by four young men,
strangers in these parts, who un-
folded narrowing tale of disaster
dire, and invoked his aid in straight
ening matters up. The story was of
this color Late Saturday night the
quartette were vending their way
toward the shelter of Spokane Falls,
but from whence depOnent sayeth
not. Their course took them through
the Indian camp, on the north side
Of the river, and not dreaming Of
danger they trod through the silent
village Of dismal looking wigwams
without the care exercised by the
hero Of "yeller" covered literature,
where he crawls like a snake, care
fully brushing aside all dry sticks,
until he gains the centre Of the en-
campment and with meat axe hews
out a piece of a hut, ,cOntaininga pale
faced female Of phenomenal beauty
and twenty or thirty redskins of
demoniac ferocity, and seizing the
heroine, who was to take the choice
the next day Of burning at the stake
or marrying four of the principal
chiefs, and regaining the dark forest
mounts his steed, and with derisive
cha! ha! ha p speeds away. That
was the oldand popular way Of work.
ing Indian camps, and it used to
make us think that all Indians were
in cahoOts with the brave frontiers
man." and let him get away with
the girl just in order to have the
sequel turn out right. But we are
clear off the track. AS stated the
boys strobe through the nest without
exercising a particle Of caution, and
when about to leave the dOmiciles
Of the savages behind three Indians
sprang from the ground and con-
frOnted them with drawn knives,
and in the dialect peculiar to the
tribe demanded their money or their
liver. Fortunately the crowd was in
that not always pleasant predica-
ment known as being "dead broke"
and after searching their clothes
found nothing but a silver watch,
which the highwaymen appropriate
ed. The victims stated that they
had no arms, and If they had the
Indians would have met with a re-
ceptiOn about as fatal as cholera.
They thought that they could identi-
fy tEeir assailants, so in company
with Marshal Hyde and Deputy
Sheriff Gillian the crowd repaired
to the Indian camp. When once
confronting the "noble," the boys
were completely nOn-plussed and
could not tel which from tOther,
they all looking so much alike.
After scanning the features Of every
buck to be4Jund, the strangers were
compelled to admit that they could
not possibly swear to a single indi-
vidual, and the officers returned
empty handed. About an hour after.
wards Curley Jim, a well-known
Siwash, called upon Mr.. Hyde and
gave him the missing watch and
chain, stating that a child had found
it. OF course, this was a white fib.
While Jim is known to be innocent
of having a hand in the robbery, it is
plainly evident that he knew of the
guilty parties and after the visit
from the officers compelled the Of
tenders TO disgOrge in order that no
trouble might grow out Of the esca-
pade. 1t will be well for people
doing any travelling north Of the

PERSONAL.
In this connection it would not be
out Of place to say few words in re-
gard to the proprietorS both Of
whom have been identified with
Spokane Falls for years. The senior
partner, S. G. Havermale, came to
the place eight years ago, when there
was mighty little of a place here.
He took up the second claim filed
upon in this locality, having been
proceeded by Jas. N. Glover the
present Mayor. Mr.. HavermaGe
found life mixed up with a good
many hardships at the start, and for
some time it was a question whether
he, in conjunction with the meagre
crop of neighbOrs, would continue to
exist. He had the foresight to see
that eventually the falls would be
the site Of city, and perhaps pic
tured in his mind the day when he
might claim ownership to the valu-
able milling interests he is now at
the head of. By the requirement of
land Mr.. Havermale came In for an
interest in the water power along
the city front and other good pro-
perty, a portion of which has been
laid off as IIavermale's addition to
the City of Spokane Falls, one of the
choicest additions that has yet been
laid out on account of its proximity
to the business centre. He has seen
many changes take place since first
he located in what was then a wild
erness, has grown grey with the
lapse of years spent on the frontier,
and has always held a warm place in
the hearts of old settlers and new ar
rivals, who respect and honor him
for his many good qualities. b. F.
Davis is another man who may be
considered a pioneer, although his
advent into this particular part of
Eastern Washington only dates back
four years. However four years ago
the country was very sparsely set
tied, and Spokane was in its very
tender infancy. Little or nothing
was known of the country, and the
inhabitants were scattered a consid-
cradle distance apart. Then the
railroad had not opened out its line
of traffic, and the system of commu-
nication was reduced to wagon trav-
el, horseback, or foot. Mr.. Davis
also felt as though it was worth a
mans trouble to remain with the
Falls, and his success in a business
point Of view can be attributed to
his staying qualities. He has been
engaged in active business ever since
making this his home, and has
thrived accordingly. He is a man
who commands the good will of the
entire pOpulace and deserves the
success that he is sure to meet with
in the present undertaking. We,
together with the many friends of
the firm, hope the gentlemen will
make big, big fortune out Of the
Echo Mills.

Vaccination Accidents.

A woman in Charlottesville, O.,
accidentally touched a sore spot on
her lip with a finger on which there
was a small amount of vaccine virus.
Her face and neck began swelling
and her condition was at first critical.
A man in Colfax sauntered into one
of the drug-stores there and seeing
some vaccine points on the counter
mistook them for toothpicks, and pro-

The Peddler's Grave.


BY the roadside, on a high-bank
of the Licking, near the Northern
boundary of West Liberty, is lone
grave, a little rude mound, marked
by rugged stones at head and foot,
but no inscription to inform the pas
ser by who sleeps beneath. Here lies
awaiting the resurrection, the body of
Morris Haggerty, an Irish peddler
who was murdered in this county in
1858. To some of our people whose
minds are imbued with superstitious
notions, this is spot of peculiar in
terest. Rumors oflight seen at nights
fitting about the place, accompanied
by a weird, spectral form that van
ishes in the air, and strange voices
have invested it with all the dread
phantasies of haunted place. Many
and strange are the stories told of
sights seen and noises heard about
this place and many an urchin sits at
night, with dilated eyes, quickened
pulse, and chair on end" as he listens
to the stories told of the frightful
forms that caper at night about the
grave of the murdered peddler. Ri
diculous and absurd as it may appear

SMALL GRAIN CROPS.


The time is now drawing near
when provision should be made
ior the small grain crops for the
coming year-wheat, oats and rye.
On the weu ordered farm this is
all arranged and determined on
beforehand, the lands intended tor
the crops having been selected by
suitable previous rotation. Far
mers sometimes become impatient
under too much advice as to the
pitching of their crops, and the
advice is often given in a way
which makes it offensive, and then
the effect is lost. It may be unwise,
therefore, to urge too persistentiJ
unless good reasons can be given.
With the vast majority of farmers
in the Cotton States cotton is the
amoney CROP and there is conse
quently always strong temptation
to make that the leading crop, too
often to the neglect of others equal
" if not more important. If you
will bear in mind that food, abund-
ant food for man and beast, is and
should be the FIRST consideration of
every prudent man, that this is Of
prime necessity and must be had,
even if it takes the last cent Of the
cotton crop, q very short calculation
will show that It is better to make
it than to buy it. Bought corn
never fattens horses" The sleek
team, the abundant dairy, the fat
porkers and the wellstocked poul.
try yard are only seen when abun,
dant food is made on the land and
not purchased from a distance.
These are home truths which we
wish to keep constantly before our
people, and when the temptation is
is strong to put in cotton at ths ex-
pense of grain, let every prudent
man make bis own calculations.
