FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. II, 1896.

A STRANGE II EETING ON THE PLAINS.
Mr.. John a. Sewers, brother of DR..
Sewers OF this place who is IN Warren
ton pending his difficulty with the
Spanish government for Punishment
from Cuba or account of sympathy with
the Cubans, is gentleman who has
travelled g gcsat deal and in his unob-
| >trusive way can make an evening pass
d lightfuIy to his fricnds. We hope that
no confidence is yiolgfcd in the publ
cation Of the following Incident.
Years ago, it may nave been before
the war, Mr. Sewers was driving herd
of cattle from Texas TO Kansas and
opped for several days with tribe Of
Indians to rest his men and stock.
Among the Indians was man dressed
like the Indians, but strongly resem-
bling white man. One evening the
indians came in with some of their
neighbors' scalps and then built q fire
and had war dance, the mysterious
figure dangling several scalps fresh
from his belt and dancing like the other
Indians. AT last Mr.. Sewers asked the
chief who he was and was told that be
was white man whor, the chief would
plgd..y nave shot on accouu, OF the
trouble he gave by getting drunk SO fire.
quently, but that the relations of his
tribe to the few white people they had
met were pleasant and he spared this
mans life for their sake. Mr.. Sewers
then addressed the white man and
found out that his name wss Glasscock,
that he had once lived in Clarke or Fau-
quier county and that he had run away
from his wife and family because his
home was not agreeable to him. He
liked his new life and no persuasion
that Mr.. Sewers could use would in
duce him to return to his people. What
became of him? No one can tell. Mr..
Sewers moved on with his cattle and
the incident was forgotten until it was
brought to mind by some one talking
of the man.-Warrenton Virginian.

low price to induce you to purchase come
thing else at an enormous profit, but en-
deavor at all times to give you full dollars
worth Of goods that our guarantee can 60

carry finer line of goods than ever before,

prices before you buy. AT present we have a

duced prices on to make room for SPRING
