4 / have just witnessed the execution, by
shooting, of Sarbee Bearhead, a full
blood Creek Indian about twenty five
wears old who murdered Okilissar about
two years ago. Six days ago an officer of
the Light Horse, with small squad, as
pertaining his whereabouts, made de-
scent upon him, and had lively time in
his capture. A running fight on horse
back was kept up for three miles, when he
took refuge in house, where he found
six shooter, loaded, lying on e shelf. Be-
fore the Light Horse had all come up, some
five or six in number, Sarbee had reloaded
his own pistol, and with one in each hand
stood in the doorway, holding regular
battle with those outside He did not sur
render until shot in the leg, about which
time he recognized an acquaintance in the
crowd, and proposed to surrender to him,
which was accepted. He was brought
back to this place, the Judge granting him
five days in which to prepare for his final
doom. His time was up to-day, and he
was taken to wooded hill near this town
and in the presence of about $50 people,
who igathered to witness the execution,
was shot to death to satisfy the Muskogee
law.
Bearhead was allowed to select his exe-
cutioners from the Light Horse, the lot
falling on Lewis Asberry and John Doc
tor, one of whom was his cousin. When all
was in readiness he was seated against an
oak tree, and Captain Philip Raiford, with
the two men armed with navy six-shoot-
ers, took their position about ten feet in
front of the criminal His breast was
barred and piece of white court plaster
stuck Immediately over the heart. A
handkerchief was bound over his eyes, but
he raised his shackled hands and pushed
it up, asking to be allowed to see, but the
Captain insisted on covering his eyes,
when he yielded. At the word the two
guards knelt, and as Ready, fire ~ sound
ed upon the air, two stimuli taneous shots
went crashing through his heart. His head
fell upon his breast and as the Captain
laid him down no sound beyond two groans
was heard.
] stood within fifteen feet of the criminal
all the time, and watched every movement
and word. He was small man, spare
built, with delicate features, small hands,
and would not weigh more than one hum
dred and thirty pounds, and looked any
thing else than desperado. I have never
seen such wonderful display of nerve
not a muscle quivered, not tremor was
in his voice, but he met his fate as only an
Indian can. Thus are the laws of the Mus
kogee Nation indicated.

/ have a weakness for the guinea
fowls, and if their eggs were as large as
those of hen should breed them ex-
clusively, they are so much superior to
everything else in the poultry line in SO
many important particulars. Twoyears
ago, while in the south part of the State,
I bought a pair Of white guineas, for /
always looked upon them with the sus-
picion with which I look upon Ken
lucky mule. I bought for their color,
because there were no white guineas in
my county. Last year the hen laid about
ninety eggs that we found, and Matched
seventeen of them under hen. About
the first of July the guinea hen began to
sit, out in the edge of the cornfeld, on
fourteen eggs, and in due course of time,
I suppose, she brought off thirteen
chicks; at least one time | went downto
see her, and she was gone, leaving one
egg in the nest. The next time caught
a glimse of her, she came to the house
one evening with thirteen chicks about
as large as quails, having kept every one
that was Matched, and the hen which
brought off a brood lost only two.
When cold weather came had thirty
euineas, that had cost me less to raise
than any five chickens in my flock. I
kept them through the winter, and this
spring | sold all but half dozen at a
dollar apiece, and could have sold as
many more if Ihad them. Two of them
we ate and found them excellent; the
flesh, unlike that of the pearl guinea. is
white, tender, and of a gamey flavor
that is delicious. The ones l kept laid
with the hens for a long time this spring,
beginning about the 9Th of April and
laying every day until they began sit
ting, about two weeks ago. Before
got any guineas the hawks bothered me
considerably, but since that time they
have got but one chicken from me. The
advantages of keeping guineas are
these: 1t dom cost a cent to keep them
from early spring until freezing weather;
they are better for the table than any
breed of chickens; the hawks don't get
them, and when find a guinea hen sit
ting on fourteen to twenty eggs l feel
tolerably safe in counting my chickens
before they are Matched. y Cor Ohio
