beyond where we had seen the first 1n- dian the attack was made, and it was a bold one. As we came opposite a valley running back into the ridges, a hundred or more mounted Indians came charging down on us- The val ley was just about as wide as the train was long, and therefore the twenty of us on that side had a chance at the reds as they came on in a mob, shoot ing, shouting and seemingly deter mined to ride over us.
 'Corporalr'
 It was the voice of the colonePs.wife. just as we were preparing to fire.
 "Yes'm, I remem ber," I replied, as I lowered my carbine to look at her.
 We poured the fire of our carbines into the charging mass and checked it's rush. The Indians then passed to our front and rear, so as to assan us on all sides. There were fully 800 of them and had the train halted but for min ute they would have had us wiped out A part of them had been ordered to fire only at the mules attached to the wagons. As they were kept moving only three or four were struck and none disabled.
 ''Corporalv'
 There was fighting in front and rear and both sides, and the bullets were flying about us in spiteful way. Five had passed through the covering of the wagon beside me.
 Corporal, are you going to-to-"
 "Not yet; we are holding our own!" replied, as turned to open fire again.
 We were gradually getting out of the trap. Farther on the ground was open and to our advantage. The Indian al- ways does his best fighting at the start. Here and there we had man wounded, but there was no confusion no halting. Whenever they gathered as if to charge we opened fire on the spot and scattered them. Our fire was rapid and we'll sustained and at the end of a quarter of an hour we had them beaten. We were just drawing clear of the ridge when bullet struck the third wagon teamster in the shoul- der and he fell forward on his saddle. the colonePs wife, and she called to me:
 Corporal, obey your orders"
 She had her hands over her face so that she might not see me as raised my gun. The next few seconds must have been terrible.
 Beg pardon, madam, but the reds are drawing off and the victory is ours"
 She dropped her hands and stared at me for minute as if she could not comprehend. Then she fell back in dead faint and it was long half hour before her blue eyes opened to the sun.

and closed up the train. To the left were a succession of ridges and if there was any force of hostilities about they were hidden behind them. The coloners wife was one of the first to discover the Indians at the right. She was looking at me as glanced up.
 "We shall be attackedH' she queried.
 "Within ten minutes. ma'am."
 Well, you-you-"
 "Yes'm, but I hope we shall beat them off"
 The redskins on the right now began to ride to and fro and whoop and yell and seek to draw our attention and force the train to halt. Orders had been given the day before to keep moving in case of attack. In closing up the wagons had doubled the line, moving two abreast. The horsemen fell into their places at once-twenty on side, five in front and five in rear. Some of the teamsters had carbines. while all had revolvers. Half a mile

Blank, at the new post to which we were bound, had written to Capt. White, who was to command the train:
 ''My wife is to come out with you. See that my previous instructions are carried out. She knows what they are"
 And we had not marched an hour when Capt. White sent for me and said:
 Corporal, you will act as a special guard over the third wagon"
 "Very well, sir"
 ''The colOners wife is in that wagon, as you probably know"
 "Yes, sir"
 "In case the Indians are too strong for us they must not find her alive. That's all"
 rode back to the third wagon and placed my horse at the nigh forewheel and lifted my cap to the lady, who had been provided with a comfortable seat by herself. She was little bit of woman not over twenty-five years of age and married to the colonel only two years before. She looked at me out of her big blue eyes and smiled, but she could not steady her voice as she leaned forward and inquired:
 Corporal, do you-thinll we shall be | attacked?"
 Quite likely, ma'am, but we may squeeze through"
 And if attacked, and you can't beat the Indians off, you"
 'I have the captains orders. ma a'am!"
 "Yes; very we'll"
 We both understood. I had been especially detailed to kill her if saw that we were to be wiped out! The thought of it made me dizzy as rode along. Now and then l glanced up at her, to find her face white and her eyes anxiously searching the horizon. Ihad my orders, and was there to obey them, but could do it? Ii was the last llv- ing man of that train could raise my | carbine and become her murderer? | At two o'clock on the afternoon of the second day out we saw a dozen mounted Indians on ridge 70 the right.

Nothing in the "AI,raculous, Window

ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 21.-The inves- tigation by an expert of the Canton Church window, at the request of Arch bishop Ireland, has proved the falsity of all claims made in regard to this mir acle" window. It is believed that there had been no fraud, conniving at or abet- ting it, on the part of Father Jones, but it is thought likely that the priest might have erred in being too credulous.

NUNNALLY STILL IN JAIL.
The Case Against Eim Far From a
Strong One.

Alt On6S AkaaAAos Ill III EAOLA a
Strong One.
GRIFFIN, GA. Jan. 23.-The arrests made
in the Barrett tragedy yesterday and the
night before have been topics here to-day.
Like the other days when the matter Of the
killing ives fresh it occupied the attention
OF all and rumors few thick and fast. but
there have been no new Developments other
than the releasing OF Curren Barrett and
Felix Weston after preliminary hearing
before Walter C. Beeks. judge Of the county
court, this afternoon. There are yet three
prisoners in custody and the officers declare
that a, least two Of the three are guilty Of
the commission and completely In the crime.
The question is who of the two are guilty.
Public opinion says Jerry Holt is the slayer
and win W. NenDelly the instigator Of the
crime.
THE THEORIES AGAINST NUENALLY.
In support Of the theory that Nunnally
wished his grandparents out Of the way
several suggestions are offered. One story
Is that he wished to marry q lady of the
neighborbood. but she said that while his
grandpa rents lived ia the house with him
she could not marry him. Another is that
he wished to raise money on the land, but
could not do 50 as long as they lived, be-
cause he could not get their consent to bor-
row money or effect a sale Of the land TO an
Atlanta syndicate. In contradiction of the
first theory 1t may be safely stated that
Nunnaliy was not dependent on the home
shared by bis aged grandparents for a
shelter.
OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND.
As TO the other theory, there Is only
ninety acres Of land. forty Of which belong
20 J. II. Nunnally. brother OF w. w. Nun
nally, while the other fifty Is the property
of Mrs. A. o. Nunually. hence, with DR..
and Mira. Barrett dead and out Of the way,
Wln Nunnally was no nearer raising
money on the land than he was with them
living; so that theory also goes for naught.
Sam Kendall, in bis statement to
the reporters yesterday, said that
while he was working for
Nunnally last fall he heard Jerry Holt say
DR.. Barrett had not treated him justly Ia
his settlement and he intended to get even,
IL he had to resort to killing or burning.
Did Jerry do the killing and then get
frightened Off before he could fire the house
TO hide bis crime and by VIII Nunnally
coming in ana finding the lifeless bodies, is
he made the victim Of circumstancesl is one
OF the questions In peoples minds. Sam
Kendall and Jerry Holt have both told con-
ficting stories, and everything they have
stated may be- untrue and the guilty party
may yet be at large.
