Eve horses. / had just come in that
morning from long scout and was
asleep when the Indians were first seen.
Is soon as routed out I took two men
with me and rode down to the station.
We picked up fourth man there and
headed direct for the redskins, who
were then q mile away. We were not
quarter of a mile away from the station
when became suspicious that it was
. plot to draw US away. We brought
our horses down to a walk, and after
getting half a mile from the station we
turned to the left as if to circle back.
At that moment 300 Cheyenne warriors,
led by old Roman Nose, burst out of
the dry ravines, where they had been
lying concealed for two hours, and
made straight for the station.
The plan would have done credit to
brigadier About 200 warriors threw
themselves between the station and
the fort, so as to be ready for any move
on the part of the soldiers. Thirty
attacked the adobe huts constituting
the station. About fifty made for the
enclosure where the horses were kept,
snd the others rode to cut us four off
from the fort. Only one part of the
the plan miscarried. The men at the
station made such fight that the In
dams could not break in on them.
They killed three warriors and wounded

A HORRIBLE SIGHT.
A Barrel of Human Flesh Found at
Trice's Landing.

Some negro boys while fishing at
Trice's landing Saturday evening
were attracted by a barrel that had
floated up on the river hank, and
upon examination found that it con-
tanned the partially decomposed re-
mains of white woman and negro
man. The boys were frightened al
most out of their wits, but they made
off in haste to spread the news,
thinking that murder had been
committed. w. G. Smith was the
first white man they encountered,
and to him they related what they
had found. Mr.. Smith notified Cor
oner Station, who at once repaired to
the spot to hold an inquest. When
he arrived at the river bank the
most revolving spectacle was pre-
sented that has come under his
Jurisdiction since holding the office
of coroner. The remains of both
man and woman were streWn over
the bank, a white hand here, foot
yonder, a negro skull little further
down the river, and other parts of
the bodies elsewhere. 1t was clearly
recognizable as the work of the dis
secting knife and everything was
gathered up and buried on the river
bank. The subjects were no doubt
put in tho barrel at Nashville and
dumped into the Cumberland. This
is the first time in the history of such
cases here that the remains of white
and black have been found in the
same barrel. Humanity must be on
the wane among the medical col
leges at Nashville.

the Americans exposure of his rec
ord greatly improved his character,

lance than ever, as some say. But
that last transaction, having the
State Alliance to change the constitu-
tion so as to whitewash him by re-
election, when heavy damages
awaited him free of cost through the
courts for the traduction. A fine
character is the feather that breaks
the camel's back, and there is lots OF
tall kicking in the alliance about it.
II our worthy President didn't really
need any damages for his character,
he might have helped the Alliance
by suing the American for money
enough to pay up the back dues to
the State and National Alliance.

An Important Discovery.

r. E. McCulloch, superintendent
of the water works, is a practical, OBJ
serving man, and has made an i'm
portant discovery. He says the
GAINESVILLE people are using toe
much water. It'S not hurting the
people to any extent, but there is nc
need for reckless extravaganza in the
use of water here, because it is al
ways so scarce in Louisville, Nash
vile and Memphis. There are three
men, Sam Caldwell, G. II. Bailey
and Gopher Smith, we think Should
not be limited in supply, but all
other people might hold up a little
and see if they won't feel better.
We are like Mr.. McCulloch don't
believe in the general use of water to
excess,

A Narrow Escape.

Miss Gean Daniel, who has many
friends in GAINESVILLE, missed by the
merest chance almost, being on the
illfatcd train that went through the
trestle at Statcsville, N. G. recently,
when Rev. Sykes and 80 many fell
low travellers lost their lives. Miss
Daniel was returning from Ashville,
N. c., where she had made stenog-
raphic report OF the meeting of the
Southern Dental Association, and
was on this train with through
ticket and her baggage checked to
her destination. Some distance east OF
Statesville, on learning that the train
passed through the wild mountain
gorges and over the mountains dur
ing the night, she secured a stop-over
check from the conductor, and got
off at one of the little stations to
spend the night and wait for the
next train, that she might have the
benefit Of daylight to view the mag
nificent scenery that skirts the road.
This doubtless saved her life. Her
baggage was left on the train, and
her trunks were so demolished in the
wreck that they were hardly recOg-
nizable.

are very arbitrary, and especially 80
as regards that IsSsh is suitable

the skirt at the hem, or elaborate
braiding or embroidery in plain

just at what degree the expan-
sion of the shoulders of dresses
and cloaks will stop is hard to pre-
dict. The higher the shoulders the
more stylish the garment.
Cloaks cut in plain circular fash.

pufs, and most elaborated Atrimmed
