Correspondence Of the REooRn.
Tho people of Winona and vicinity are ut
present disturbed by rumors of an Indian
| outbreak, and the women, and children are
in constant terror, believing that this place
may be the first to be visited by the red.
skins in carrying out their scheme of ven
geanca upon the whites. ". While the "a
male population are terror stricken and
fow tenderfeet are preparing to seek moro
eongenial cline, our people generally are not
alarmed, for there are among us many old
soldiers who, though now pursuing the arts
OF peace, have participated in all the Indian
wars i'll the Northwest during the last
twenty years. 4he most noted of these is
Mr. George Darlnnd, one of our substantial
citizens, who for seven years as scout for
| Gen. Miles, under the name of "Big-H Horn
George" performed deeds Of daring that
leave Yellowstone Kelly and Reefalo Bull
altogether in the shade. In case of m out.
break he will tender his services to tho COM
manding officer rs chief Of scouts, and will
take rs his assistant Slickery Bill, another
noted Indian fighter who followed Custer
to the last, and whose lite was saved by his
legs refusing to carry the rest Of his body
into harms way. William Lampman is an.
other old soldier whose exploits rs long,
distance runner during the war gained him
great rcnown. Another one of our defend-
ers is Knlsomine jim, who during the battle
OF Bull Run occupied m elevated position
well in the rear and observed all that was
going on. Your scribe would advise that
frolicsome bachelor when he calls on his
best girl that before he engages in those
fond caresses so natural to q loving couple
to ''pull down the blinds and not subject
himself and lady love to the rude gaze of
the nocturnal prowler. would also advise
that long g-legged manipulation of the ribbons
on the northern mail who makes q practice
of molesting q respectable maiden lady rev
siding in the outskirts of the village at
hours when he should be in his bed, to
watch out. The lady has gun, and she
will shoot in case she can get her gun off.
.,,. That poor, deluded old bachelor with
the ashen- hued locks. the ruddy complexion
and far-away look, who is so attentive to n
young widow residing here, should tako
tumble. He will never win the affections of
tho gushing creature by saving wood, nurs-
ing the baby and milking the COWS. Other
qualifications are necessary. go that

zens who has been "cut OUT bya boy in
