CHAPTER VI.
BREAKING OUT OF THE INDIAN
WAR.

BREAKING OUT OF THE INDIAN
WAR.
It has been noticed in a preced-
ing chapter, that in the year 1853,
emissarles from the Western In
dams came among the Valley In
dians, inviting them to cross the
Allegany mountains, and that in
the spring of the year 1754, the In.
dams suddenly and unexpectedly
moved off, and entirely left the
Valley.
That this movement of the In
dams was made under the influence
of the French, there is but little
doubt. In the year 1853, Mai. Geo.
Washington (since the illustrious
Gen. Washington,) was sent by
Governor Dinwiddie, the then col
onial governor OF Virginia, with a
letter to the French commander on
the western waters, demonstrating

Love Is Blind.

Isits-You say her hair is gold
Soft, misty webs by dewdrops kissed;
I call it tow, all stained and old,
With false intervals for twist.
Are they i-You say her eyes are blue,
Like azure skies in verdant June
With rays of sweetness tripping through
They're merely leaden-gray, you loon
Are they ?-Her lips sweet rosebud twins'
Where thrilling kisses linger long,
l can't see where the rose begins
And lingering kisses may be wrong.
Her lips are of a purple hue,
No rosy tones do they possess;
And many furrows wander through,
To add unto their frigidness.
Her nose-no poetry in nose:
Cans't tLou that feature leave forlorn
Sing Stolen from the Grecian pose,
Oh, dreary, icy Matterhornl
Poetic swain / mark thy state
Love cliuging like shrunken glove J
You're ILL., | diagnosticate-
A case acute of Dead in Love.
But why deridei that glove is blind
Is proven plainly every day,
'Twere better so that each may find
His own the fairest one, alway.

Happy Bachelor.
The bachelor is feeling good
And deems himself lucky wight;
He saws and splits no kindling wood,
He has no kitchen fire to light.
When day IS done his cares are DER,
And once in bed be takes his ease;
He need not rise TO walk the floor
These chilly nights child to please.
For him there are no household cares,
The breakfast bell his slumber breaks,
He dresses and descends the stairs
To oatmeal mush and buckwheat cakes
For him life's river smoothly runs,
He's happy, jolly and content,
He has no wife and little ones
On whom his earnings must be spent.
Let him enjoy it while he can,
When age and loneliness shall come
He'll wish he was a married man
With Sons and daughters, wife and home
The Usual Proceeding.
December comes with bitter blast,
Time swiftly onward steals,
The winter days now follow fast
Upon each others heels.
One day and then another goes
And those who are alive
Will shortly look upon the close
Of 1885.
When the old year shall take its fight,
The new we'll turn to meet;
With resolutions for the right
Young eighty-six well greet.
And then we'll all swear off again
Our hearts with pride aglow.
And keep the pledge, like honest men,
For-balf week or so.

A TANGLED SEEIN.


Life is but a tangled skein,
Full of trouble, toll, and travail,
Knots that puzzle heart and BRAIN
We must study to unravel;
Slowly, slowly,
Bending lOwly
Der our task, and trusting wholly
Unto Him, whose loving hand
Helps MS smooth each twisted strand.
In our hands at early morn,
And at night when darkness fingers,
Still the distaff must be borne,
While the thread slips through our fingers
Lightly, lightly,
Twisting tightly
Colors that shall CLEAN ont brightly
When the fabric feels the strain
OF misfortune, grief and pain,
He who lacks of skill or thought
Is in awkwardness betraying'
Will the lines of grace distort,
BY the friction surely fraying
Thread so tender,
Fine and slender,
Stands accused as an offender,
And himself alone must blame
For the knos, that cause him shame.
Some may wind a silken thread,
soft and smooth and beautiful;
Others fax may hold instead,
Or the coarse and shaggy wool;
But if ever
Our endeavOr
From the stains Of sin TO sever,
We may weave them bright and fair
In the robes that angels wear
Life's a complex skein indeed,
Full Of trouble, toll, and travail,
More than human help we need
All its mazes to unravel,
Slowly, slowly,
Bending lowly
Der our task, and trusting wholly
In Gods love, we patience gain
As we wind the tangled skein.

Trial OF Chesley Chambers.

BLOOMINGTON. Sept 22.-The Chambers ex-

was 8 O'clock by the time the case was called up.
when, after calling the roll of special names and
the free use of challenges. the jury was first ac-
cepted By the defense and then by the State.
More than one hundred witnesses were sworn on
both sides, and the court, at the request Of the
State, ordered them separated. The prosecu-
ton created sensation by stating that Cham
berss character would be impeached on the
grounds Of frequenting saloons, visiting houses
OF ill-fame, and on three occasions forging names
to notes AS his character had never been,
heretofore, questioned this announcement Gre
ated surprise, and will injure the defense. The
prosecution also stated that, while Chambers at
tended church in the morning regularly. he
could be found on Sabbath afternoons playing
cards with bad companions; that the
blood found by the tracks lead
ing from the scene of ths robbery was from
bruises noticed on the hands and face of the de-
PENDANT, these bruises being caused by his fall
ing from the train while making his escape
The defense, in their statement, bitterly denied
the allegations above and stated that three
points cover their defense: That Chamberss
character was unimpeachable. that they could
prove an alb and that the evidence would point
strongly to other persons not yet suspected.
After adjournment for noon. a number Of the
States witnesses were examined but nothing
new was developed. 1t was proved by physi-
clans that Webber was able to recognize any one
and tell perfectly straight story he
could be reached which will go to show the cor
rectness of his Identification of the defendent,
made several months ago.

BY the time his statement to the Commission
ers was got out of him. and it had to be dragged
out he had involved himself in a labyrinth of
contradictions and falsehoods." So much was
this the case that the people were not willing to
accept his statements as being a full and true
expose of his affairs. Staring him in the face
was the 50. 500 of warrants held by the Jennings
County Bank. They were not included in his
schedule, and already rumors were rife of many
others. When asked about the Jennings county
warrants, his reply was Il don't know any
thing about them He was pressed with the
inquiry, and said the hank might have some OF
his due bills, but he didn't know. He was then
asked if they were forgeries. and his only reply
was: Il don't know anything about them" He
did not then claim them to be forceries, nor
even animate they were. When an effort was
made TO refresh his memory by referring to the
amount of the warrants. he positively declared
that he had mover issued as large as 81 500 to
aay one.

matter. it is that Dir. kitz has given either to

Troubles of a Debt Collector.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


VINoENNEs. Sept. 22.-W. H. Sloan, of Gin
cinnati, publisher and proprietor Of the Sloan
Collecting Agency, came to this city on Satur-
day, to see Mr.. Stokely, proprietor of the Grand
Hotel Sloan presented a bill to Stokely for
1920, which he alleged was due him for station
cry. Stokely said he didn't have money enough
to pay it. whereupon Sloan began to call him
names. Finally a war of words ensued between
the debtor and creditor, and for time great ex-
element prevailed in the Office of the Grand.
Mr.. Stokely attempted to get revolvenfrom a
desk behind the counter, when Mr.. Sloan, OBJ
serving the movement of the landlord. quickly
pulled his own revolver from his pocket, covered
Stokely with it and compelled him to abandon the
idea of shooting. He then coolly walked out
Of the hotel. On Sunday night, however, Sloan
was arrested by an officer a warrant sworn
out by Stokely, charging him with assault with
intent to kill. The accused was arraigned in
Squire Jackson's court on Monday afternoon and
found not guilty. Subsequently, he was ar
rested, taken before Squire McCrisken and put
under bond to keep the peace. In the meantime
Stokely went before the mayor and swore out
another warrant against Sloan, charging the
latter with intent to kill Sloan thought he Was
being prosecuted and set about devsing plans
for retaliation He accordingly had Stokelv ar
rested on charge of provoke. The case before
the mayor, for assault with intent to kill. was
bitterly contested all the afternoon, and the
jury announced tonight that they could not
agree. A new trial has been set for hearing at
8 o'clock on Wednesday. Besides all the above
numerous cases. Stokely has also sued Sloan for
S., 600 damages for Islander. The case has ex-
cited considerable interest.
