the colonel sent over with the scouts

returned makes me hopeful that matters
are quieting down." but here he turned
again to the window to level his glass
upon the broad, rolling expanse Of white,
stretching in wave after wave to the
bleak horizon.
God forbid there should be further
trouble" said Mrs. Farrar slowly, lin.
geringly replacing the portrait in its
drawer. "Surcly the general has force
enough there now to keep those Indians
in check" she ventured appealingly.
Leale lowered his binocular again.
HE has, provided the renegades cap

he pointed to the snow clad scene before

this side of Laramie either, even if the

Out across the parade, clear, yet soft,
as though muffled by the snow, the cav.

A Portion of the Holmes Con-

Untrue.

EUGENE, Or, April 15-Oran Poin-
dexter, lad II years of age, was ar
rested at his home. four miles north of
Co5urg, and was brought to this city
on charge of attempting to kill the
family OF Mrs Hiram Smith, a widow,
who lives on farm adjoining that of
the Poindexters. For some time past
the Smith family have felt that they
were the victims of persecution, as re-
peated attempts had been made to
poison the entire family by scattering
poison about the dishes and eatables.
Set Watch For the Culprit.
S. O. Garrison, neighbor, was ap-
pointed special officer to ferret the
matter out He obtained his first clew
last Saturday. Mrs. Smith was away
from home, but one of the little girls
was appointed to keep watch. Shesaw
the boy come with vial and pour
something into a pump. The next day
she was working about the chicken
house and was struck over the back of
the head with club by the same boy,
and was left unconscious. Other evil
dence was secured against the boy,
until sufficient was obtained to warrant
his arrest. 1t IS supposed that Poin-
dexter's act is the result of some old
feud between the families.
