IA special dispatch from Nashville,
Tenn, dated April %, says: Miss Mollie
Green is heroine in Perry County to-
night. She is but eighteen years old, and
teaches school on Cypress creek in Perry
County, though her father, Robert Green,
lives across the Tennessee river in Hick-
man County. The little log schooIhouse
was quiet and the little children busy
with their lessons, when o dog foaming
at the mouth, swapping and biting, dashed
in at the door and sprang towards one OF
the children. The brave teacher thought
only Of the children in her care, and sprang
between them and the intruder. She told
them IL was a mad dog, and kicked at it,
her skirts protecting her, and by the aid
Of heavy ruler she kept it at bay
until all the children had fed. The infu-
rated animal repeatedly sprang at her
throat but she was two agile to be caught
and resolutely held her ground. When all
the little ones were gone she desperately
fought OF the dog until she reached the
door, which she pulled to after her and fell
fainting outside. The children had in the
meantime run to the nearest house, an
eighth Of q mile distant, and given the
alarm. Two men came up, and after re-
viving the teacher with water, killed the
dog. The dog had been in the neighbor-
hood for few days. The grateful parents
OF the children took up q subscription
and propose to give the young lady
fine saddle horse. Her clothes were lit
orally torn OF during the struggle with the
dog.

Spokane Falls; WASH, March 22-
Tho facts OF the cruel assassination OF
three prospectors, whose names are nm.
known, by Kootenai Indians. fresh from
their medicine dance, have just ksen dis
closed by an indian hunter who saw six
braces in the act OF burning the bodies
OF the prospectors, whom they had killed
on the Libby creek trail in Idaho. Il waa
net plumber that suggested the crime,
bRt nndoubtedly the murderous feeling
engendered BY r~ecjtals OF bloodshed and
yilliRny at the medicine dance, as the
murdered men only had two horses, and
their entire outfit Indicated that they
were poor Although the attacking
force wRs Blk in number, the murder was
done by the leader, who. lurking In a
growth OF small pine, waited till they all
sat down on q fallen tree and then fred,
killing n aud mortally wounding
another at the first fire. Two more ehots
were required to finish the third man.
The stencil from the burning bodies, to-
gethar with the smoke attracted another
Indian (the hunter referred to above),
who came on to them. They swore him
to secrecy, butthe sffair was arst told
around the council fires by the actors
themselves, before the old man swore to

had whipped and found their bodies
almost solid sores. The mes feared to

lison had a new interest for the loungers

speak. He bore his honors gracefully,
however, as Allison always does, and
accepted congratulations from his col.

sin, was also an attraction in the senate
chamber to-day, where he louDged beside
Spooner, who seemed even more dimu.

frame Of the governor. Rusk has been
in very poor health for some time, and,
Hlthough he hat spent ON time in the
