Fate Of IA Tough Who Ran AfOnI of a
Trained Indian.

Jack Hunton, Hi. Kelley, Judge Billy
Lee, E. W. Whitcomb. Heck Reel, Levi
Ashenfelter and several other old timer
couch for the following story told lately at
a G. A. campfire in Nebraska:
While we were lyinVa at Fort Laramie in
1865 a Kiowa Indian from Kansas came
to act as government scout. He could
speak English first rate. and having lived
among the whites for years he had picked
up a good many pointers. We soon
learned among other things that he could
put up his dukes in first rate style. In
fact, when put against our best man,
Joe, " as the Indian was named, knocked
him out in the seventh round. We put
him on to a few extra dodge, and then
waited for the fruit 10 ripen,
Troops were pouring in for the Indian
war, and most Of the men were old vets
from the army of the Potomac. Most of
these were in a great hurry TO knock over
an Indian, either with fist or bullet, and
The half a dozen redskins about the fort
had to hustle to save their bacon. One
day when the sign was right, we logged
Joe out in true Indian style, gave him
his cue as to how he should act, and sent
him do n among some Pennsylvania
troops. They spotted him as a scalp
raiser at once. and were h%ustling him
around when We appeared and demanded
fair play. The leader of the hustlers was
a big corporal of istic fame, and the
minute it was proposed to get up a mill
between him and the Indian he jumped
clear of the ground and yelled:
"Whoopeel That hits mel I've hecn
laying for an Injunl I'll give you my
head if he stands through the first
roundI'
Arrangements were soon made. We
went out where the wagons were parked,
cleared a space, and the principals were
soon ready. Joe was as calm as a May
morning, having little to say. while the
corporal was all CAB and excitement,
and kept calling out:
Watch him boys, and don't let him
run"
We had six ounce boxing gloves and
it was to be Queensbury rules. When
Joe was ready everyone but the corpora
could see that he had been there the
latter was in such a hurry TO punch an
I%njun" that he overlooked particulars,
He weighed at least thirty pounds the
moss and there was a grin Of delight
on his face when the call came. He
went in to secure a knock out blow. and
several surprises awaited him. He could
no more hit that Injun than q boy could
lasso a weasel; and when the first round
had closed his grin had given place to a
look of establishment.
When round second opened we gave
Joe the wink. He made a dodge or two,
Tented, swung his right and the corporal
uttered a yell and went to earth to snore
like a horse for FIVE minutes before he
came to. 1t was as clelu a Knockout as
any one ever saw, aud he was man enough
to realize 1t. When he could keep his
feet he reached out his hand to Joe and
said:
Don't set me down Tor a fool. l an
simply fresh-too fresh. This has salte,
me, however. and if you'll come aroun
to the tent I'll divide half aud half wit
you, and then give you Il revolver whic

SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Number OF Appropriations for
Public Buildings Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-After unim-
portant routine business the Senate this
morning took up the calendar, and the fol-
lowing bills, among others. were passed:
Making appropriations for public build
ings as follows: Roanoke, Va. 100000;
Norfolk, Va, S150,000; Newport News.
Va, 100000; Lynchburg, Va. (extension),
$4,000; Petersburg, Va. enlargement and
Improvement, $4,000
Appropriating S11 900 for macadamized
road from Staunton, Va, to the national
cemetery near that place.
Making the salary of the supervising
surgeon general of the marine hospital
service $4,000 per annum.
THE WAR ON TRUSTS.
The Senate then proceeded TO considera-
tlon of the bill to declare unlawful trusts
and combinations in restraint OF trade and
production. Mr.. Sherman, who reported
the bill from the committee on finance, said
that he had been instructed by the commit
tee to move to strike out the third section
(Which fixes penalties for the offense of en-
tering into trusts or combination).
Mr.. George opposed the bill, both on the
ground of its inefficiency ff the bill was
constitutionaD and on the ground that con-
gress had not the constitutional power to
enact it. He regarded the subject matter as
the most important that was likely to come
beforr congress; and therefore he had pre-
pared his remarks with some care. He went
on to read his speech from printed
slips. His argument was mainly
of legal and technical character, designed
to prove that it would be impossible ever to
get conviction under the bill; and as to the
civil suits provided for in it, he said that
few such events would ever be instituted,
and not one would be successful. he
characterized the bill as an abortion that
would aggravate rather than diminish the
evil
Mr.. Reagan then gave notice of an amend
ment which be intended to offer to the bill
being the bill offered by him on Dec. 4
LAST.
The bill went over without action.
After brief executive session the Senate
adjourned

A DRUNKEN MESSENGER
''In the afternoon, Supt. Brown seeing
that the dam must inevitably give way.
sent a messenger to the lower dam to notify
them Of the danger, but he stopped at a
saloon on the road, and becoming intoxi-
Gated failed to deliver the message. The
next morning another messenger was sent,

flood just as he neared the lower camp. About

A TREMENDOUS ROAR.
"Soon after there was tremendous roar
which was indescribable, and we arose and
looking out saw the water rushing out of
the dam. Inside of two hours it had disap-
peared entirely from where it was from
sixty to ninety feet deep. Francis W.
Parker was one of the men rescued from a
perilous position about daybreak. Parker

was awakened he heard one of his partners
exclaim, My God, what was thatP He

HE was caught up by the water and
was lifted to the roof Of the cabin, where
he clung to the rafters until, after floating
around he was driven against bluff, where
he seized some bushes and drew himself up
on the cliff. One man was seen to start for
place Of safety, and seeing escape was i'm
