4 ROMANCE FROM KENTUCKY.


There are few more romantic in
cidents in the early history Of this
country than the capture by Indians
of three girls on the Louisa or Ken
tucky River in the last centuary.
Among those accompanying Daniel
Boone IN his settlement In the new
country of Louisa was Colonel Cal
laway, and both brought their fam
lilies with them to the log fort which
with 20 others they helped build on
the south side of Otter Greek, near
where it empties into the Kentucky
River, to. which they gave the name
Of Fort Boone or Boonesboro. Both
Boone and Galloway had daughters,
and Jemima Boone and her mother
were the frat Ehite women to set
foot on the banks of the river.
In April, 1776, . year after the
building of the fort, Jemima left
the inclosure with Elizabeth and
Fanny Galloway for q row on the
river. Jemima and Fanny were
only IA, but Elizabeth, or Betsey,
as she was called, was a well-devel-
oped girl of 16, who already had
lovers amongst the young men of
the settlement. 1t was o pleasant
Sunday afternoon, and needless of
danger the girls rowed further than
they intended and were almost out
Of sight Of the stockade. They were
quite near the shore >and their
thoughtlessness was first made ap-
parent to them by the appearance
of Indians in the bushes on the bank
just by them. In vain they sought
to escape and screamed for help.
Their screams we're heard at the
fort, but the men were all away and
the girls had been dragged ont Of
the canoe into the dense growth al
most before the women in the in
closure realized their danger.
Betsey, it is true, made brave
fight, and struck one of the Indians
such a blow with an oar that his
head was cut to the bone; strange
to say he did not kill her in return,
but dragged the daring girl of with
her screaming companions into the
bushes, where they were threatened
with tomahawks until their screams
ceased. They were then hurried
through the forest with all speed
until small stream was reached,
and this they were forced to wade
for some distance, in order to hide
their trail. for the captors knew
they would be pursued. and that
every trace would be eagerly noted
by the skilled backwoodsmen who
would soon follow them. The In
dians were five in number, four
Shawnees and one Cherokee, and
they spoke sufficient English to
make the girls readily understand
them.
As soon as they were far enough
away to halt in safety, the two
younger girls were forced to pull of
their shoes and put on moccasins.
Betsey refused positively to do so,
declaring that she could not walk
without shoes, and was finally al
lowed to retain them-a lenieney
which her captors had reason after
wards to deplore, for the girl was

REr-HAlRrD crrrs.-Mv chum

and room mate was q confirmed
victim of the betting habit. He
would wager his money upon the
most absurd propositions and in the
most reckless manner. aud the od-
dest part of it was that he really
felt hurt IL refused To- take up his
crazy wagers. The result was that
he usually paid my share of our
room rent as well as his own, but
this never worried him for mo-
ment. lie was a cheerful aud
steady loser, and upon all other
subjects he was perfectly sane.
lie once remarked to me that he
wasn't at all superstitious. but he

and, anyhow. there were So many
more white horses than there were
red-haired girls hat it wouldn't be
strange il he could fiul white

instantly that the nun Der of horses

of course. proposed to bet that he

My chum jumped at this three

test the question. The white horses
kept well ahead OF the girls at first.
though not quite in the ratio of
three co one, and the result seemed
in doubt until we approached the
Cathedral. Then we encountered
throng of women, young and old,
pouring out from service. We kept
count conscientiously, and when
that crowd had passed my end of the
bet seemed hopeless. The white
horses had been not only overtaken
but they we're outnumbered by
total of % girls to 10 horses.
But | didn't despair. I gnew as
the afternoon wore on the park en-
frances would help me ont in the
matter Of white horses. And so
thev did. As We went on north

to have been transported to another

white horses were streaming in both
directions almost rs fast as We
could count them.

Kenneth Bazemore had the good
fortune to receive u small bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy when three MEM
bers of his family were sick with
dysentery. This one small bottle
cured them all and he had some
left which he gave to Geo. W. Baker,
a prominent merchant of the place,
Lewiston, n. c., and it cured him
of the same complaint. When
troubled with dysentery, diarrbea,
collie or cholera morbus, give this
remedy a trial and you will be more
than pleased with the result. The
praise that naturally follows its in

this was also the case with the other
wounded man and the three who
were unhurt. A search of the camp
showed their weapons and all OF
their ammunition.
The other rescuers had turned
their attention to the captives, and
Betsey had q narrow escape from
death at their hands. She was ma
turally dark skinned, and at the
time of her CAPTURE. having been
bare-headed, the exposure to the
sun had tanned her complexion un-
til it was almost as dark as that OF
her captors. She had taken the
red kerchief, which had encircled
her neck, and tied it over her head
10 such manner as to half conceal
her fsstafel. d1d thus iissssissd,
was mistaken by one Of the naen for
an Indian, and bis gun was lifted
to brain her. Loves sight, how
ever, is more keen than that of the
ordinary man, and Samuel Hender-
son rushed forward just in time to
catch the mans arm and save his
sweetheart. The capture of the
girls had taken place on the 14th
day of April, 1776; their rescue on
the 10th. and on the 9TH day Of
August of the same year Betsey and
her rescuer were married. The mar
riage took place at the fort at
Boonesboro and the ceremony was
performed by Squire Boone, a
younger brother of Daniel, who was
a Baptist preacher. Henderson was
a person of some prominence and
had been delegate of the new col
ony, Transylvania, in the preceding
year. He afterward settled in Ma
son county, two miles north Of
Mayslick. Their marriage was the
first ceremony of the kind perform
ed on Kentucky soil and their
daughter, Fanny, was the fifth
white child born in the State.
AS late as 1873 their son, Alfred
Henderson was living at High Hill,
Texas, and had then reached the
age Of so; a daughter, Mrs. Estill,
aged SO, was living in Talladega,
Ala, while yet another daughter,
Mrs. Sally Rivers, aged SO, was
living with her son, Rev. DR.. Il. Fl.
Rivers, q clergyman Of the Mstho-
dist Church in Louisville. Fanny
Galloway was married to Captain
John Holden and Jemima Boone to
Flandert Galloway, both of whom
had been members Of the rescuing
party, but these ceremonies took
place year later, owing to the
youth Of the girls. The particu-
lars Of the capture and the rescue
were given by Colonel John Floyd,
one Of the rescuing party, to Col
onel William Preston, in letter
dated July 21, 1776, and we're later
related by Matthew Dixon, a SON.

died of wounds and famine. The
place Of rescue was supposed to have
been on the Bald Eagle branch OF

member of the Boone family, it was

Upper Blue Licks.

ALIVE, BUT PRONOUNCED DEAD.

Restoration OF the Speech Of . Mute Child
WHO Wa oncA Prepared For the Grave.
After being Ipute for two years the
little 7-year-old daughter of Nh. and
Mrs. f. A. Brook of Vineland, through
seeing the blood flowing from a cut on
one of her fingers, suddenly regained her
speech. The case lis a remarkable one
and has excited the interest of physicians
and of those who are acquainted with
tho circumstances of her affection and
most remarkable recovery.
Two years ago the little girl, who
was then 8 years of age, suddenly lost
her power of speech. She was eating an
apple Mt the time and in some manner
dislocated one of her teeth. She ran into
the house and threw herself ON the
lounge, with blood flowing from her
mouth. She refused to answer any ques-
tions, and the inquiries of her astonished
parents only ELECTED sobs and means
The next day the child was still mute
and also refused to partake of any food.
Her parents became alarmed, and ply
sicians were called in. They were I'M
able to diagnose the strange malady,
and the child grew worse. Medical skill
was of no avail, and she grew weak and
emaciated. After several weeks the child
died apparently, and the doctors pro-
nounced her dead and left The little
form was covered with q shroud and
preparations for the funeral begun,
when signs Of life were discovered in
the seeming corpse.
The girl sat up and with her fingers
made signs indicative of her desire for
food. From that moment she began to
mend slowly and in the course of a year
| regained her former good health and
spirits. She was still, however, as silent
as q sphinx. Nothing could induce her
to utter a word, and she continued in
this condition until a short time ago.
She accidentally cut her finger while
playing one day, and the red blood
flowed from the wound. Either the
sight or the smell of the fluid seemed
to have a strange effect upon the child,
and that day marked the turning point
in the history of the case. During that
same night, while in bed, she startled
her sister by speaking her name quite
distinctly. She also uttered several 9th
er words very plainly. Since then she
has been improving daily and now car
articulate quite plainly. Philadelphia

eELLAMYlsM IN ENGLAND.

Spirit of Paternalism Manifested by the
London County Council.
England is trying all sorts of social
istic experiments. If it keeps on, it will
soon become Mr.. Bellamy's ideal coun-
try.
The latest manifestation Of the pater-
nal spirit in government Is the PROPOSE
ton, now seriously entertained by the
London county council, to open munic-
ipal ~pawnshops for the purpose of lend
ing small sums to poor people ON pledges
of personal property at small rates Of
interest.
The London pawnbrokers are up in
arms against the proposition. OF course
they cannot go on charging 60 or 100
per cent, as they are now said to do, if
the city pawnshop will loan money at 5
or A per cent.
And the London Chronicle wants 10

break down odious and oppressive
monopolies by exposing them to an un-
equal competition is gaining ground ev-
erywhere.

There ia one consolation IN regard TO
the Sioux Falls campaign that a person
need not read any more of the Sioux
Falls papers than he wants to. The
amount of ~nauseating slush daily issued
by the Argus Leader and the Forum
would elect Senator Pettigrew to any
position to which he aspired, il he had
not a personal friend in the world
Much more 80 will his friends prevail
since the Press has SO thoroughly
opened up the pit which Editors Tom
linson and Buchanan have digged for
themselves, filth and all. The postofice
site, the postoffice fight and the Petit
grew corruption charges have been the
veritable "sunken roads" of Waterloo
for these political adventures. The
Press has met them with a dignity and
pointedness which has completely en-
gulphed them in their own mire. The
rest of the state need not waste time
reading the filthy fulminations Of the
unreliable sheets.
