General ahePman Avenges y Private
Massacre.

General ahermas Avenges \ Private
Massacre.
Between Fort Richardson, now
known as Jacksbore, in the State of
Texas, and Fort Griffen lies Salt Creek
prairie, 50 called from sluggish stream
with brackish waters which iRtersects
it. II was upon the prairie, on the
banks of Sal. Creek, that the Warren
train massacre occurred--a massacre
famous from the personal proximity to
ats scene of Gen. w. 7. Sherman and
his connection with its sequel. Gen.
Sherman was out in Texas invsstiga-
ting complaints Of Indian outrages.
He was to have crossed Salt Creek
prairie With Wsrrens train, but for
some reason preceded it for few hours
with an escort Of United States troops.
He had hardly reached Fort Richard.
son when the news came that Warrens S
train had been destroyed aud nine
teamsters massacred with several
women and children. The opportun-
ity was golden for Gen. Sherman.
He turned back with the small escort
with which he had just crossed the
prairie and reached the scene Of the
massacre. Nothing had been dis
turbed since the Indians left. The
corraled wagons we're mass Of charred
ruins, with the corn-sack breastwork.
The bodies Of the massacred people
were found in various conditions Of
burned and savage mutilation. The
charred remains Of one man were
found bound with long chain TO the
remnants of burnt wagon wheel.
The story was the old one OF the from
tier. The brave band Of pioneers had
been descended upon by an over
whelming force of Indians. They had
made their desperate fight and died
like men. One man who had sighted
the Indians in time had taken to the
woods from the hindmost team and
made his escape. The Indians had
also escaped with the stock of the ILL.,
fated train. Gen. Sherman turned
sadly back and continued his tour of
the frontier posts. From Fort Griffen
he proceeded to Fort Sill and then to
Fort Concho.
While at the latter post band Of
Kiowas under command If the famous
Santante appeared in the neighbor-
hood and wanted to sell some mules
and horses. Some of the escort who
had been with Sherman from Fort
Richardson recognized the mules as
belonging to Warren's tram, and re-
ported the fact to "Tecumseh." He
determined to have an interview in the
character of trader with Santante,
and invited him to . rendezvous, the
General wearing citizens clothes, but
retaining a bsdy guard. Santante was
also accompanied by some Of his braves
among them Santack and Big Tree.
Gen. Sherman pretended to want to
buy the mules, aud in the course Of
the conversation ELECTED the fact that
the animals had been captured in Texas,
and enough besides to convince him
that they were the identical ones which
had been taken from Warren's train.
Santante saw the drift of his questions
and got on his dignity. Strengthening
himself up, he said with threatening
air:
"You white man big trader and big
Captain, but Santants bigger Captain
than you"

own cusiam rs l. by u means an
experiment in business. It has been
successfully carried ON for years by
many houses in the dr., goods business,

mail or express. The advantages IT,
be gained by bringing the customer
and merchant together through the
medium of the mails, even in the re.
mote part of California, Nevada aud
the Territories, must be manifold.
First-We claim there is q great
saving to the purchaser over the
prices charged by country dealers.
Second--Our goods always turn out
fresh and are more desirable than the
shop worn stock that maves slowly
from the shelves of dealers who have
only limited trade for such goods.
Thirdly trading with US yeu
always get the benefit of market
changes. Rarely, if ever, does the
country merchant make any change in
the retail price on account of decline
in the price from the manufacturer.
Forth-We issue Grocery Herald
and Consumers Guide on the first of
each month, for the information of
out-os-town customers, which is sent
free to any address upon application,

Dayy Crockett in Congress.

Davy Crockett was the toughest diamond
that ever sparkled in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Reared in the cabin of his father,
revolutionary soldier, who was pioneer
settler in Tennessee, he became noted as a
marksman, bear hunter and an Indian
fighter. In due time LIE was sent to the leg
slature, and in 1897 he came to Congress.
Wearing homespun suit, with q waiscoat
made from the skin of a panther which he
had shot, he attracted some attention, and the
most absurd stories were told of his proves.
He told some good stories but the greater
part of his remarks were coarse and vulgar.
1t so happened, however, that he became ar
rayed against General Jackson on an Indian
bill, and when the President sent friend to
him to tell him that he must support the bill
if he desired reelection he replied, II believe
the measure is unjust and wicked, and shall

visited Philadelphia, New York and Boston,
receiving marked attention and many pres
ents in each city. When he returned to
Tennessee and went into the canvass he found
that President Jackson was too much for
him, and he was beaten by about 800 votes.
He went to Texas, where he fought gallant.

and its garrison was slaughtered. His son,
John w, served as Whigin Congress from
1887 to 1S41. He then removed to New Or
leans, where he edited a paper for while,
and then returned to Tennessee, where he
died in 1862. Several lives of Crockett were
published, written by others. OF the many
sayings credited to him the most popular one
was, BE sure you're right; then go ahead"

was the hero. The major made a speech in

to charge for their country, that battle would
be forced upon them, that the eyes of the
country were riveted upon their actions, that
they should watch for him and follow his
white plume into the very jaws of battle,

WHO was Driving.

One of the prettiest conceits in Mr. Harris
(Uncle Remus) new book is put into the
mouth of an old negro driver. He had run
away from his master and could not be
caught; but an old lady bought him. because
he had saved the life of her son, and he sur
rendered himself and became faithful SER
want.
When his old mistress came to die, her
wandering mind dwelt upon the negro who
had served her so faithfully. She fancied she
was making journey.
"The carriage goes smoothly along here"
she said Then, after little pause, She ask
ed: us David driving2" and the weeping
negro cried out from a corner of the room
'Tain't po' Dave, mist'ss De good Lord
done tuck holt or de lines"
And so, dreaming as little child would
dream, the old lady slipped from life into the
better land, if the smiles of the dead are any
thing.
This is a most trying situation" spout
ed the little whale, when he was cut up and
put in the boiling vats "I'm afraid it's oil
over with me" and he began to blubber.
