MIR. BARRY's NARROW ESCAPE.
ID. f. Barry now Of this CITY, who has lived for
many years at various Indian agencies in Mon
tana and other parts Of the West tells OF a mar
row escape which he had one day from two
Sioux braves. The Sioux as is well known are
particularly fierce and able tribe, and II II
now reported that many OF them have flocked IN
the Tongue River Agency to Join the rebellious
Cheyennes on the warpath. Mr. Barry had been
| travelling many miles by boat. upstream and
when he stopped morning he resolved al
though the surrounding country was known to
harbor many bad Indians" to vary the tedium
| OF his journey by little shooting excursion
: ashore.
| Armed with Colt revolver and about forty
rounds of ammunition. he started briskly up the
dry bed Of old river bottom. and had pro-
! ceeded two or three miles from the boat when he
saw two Indians riding toward him. through the
gulch They were Sioux. as his experienced eye
quickly noted. and each carried a fine rifle
his saddle-bow. They were considerably

walking. and. he says could have picked me

| ter made up my mind that must not ex-
hibit any fear-though, can assure you, my
hair was standing end-and I sat down leis-
| urely upon large stone and eyed those Sioux
braves like a watchdog
when they came within ea-shot, I said Howr
as politely as could. They looked at with
as evil glances as 1 ever hope to encounter and
said never word. Again, when they were op-
posite me- said. How! Howr with the greatest
cordially could muster Then at last one of
them muttered return How but It sounded
more like threat than a greeting. You may
believe held my breath they passed When
both turned sharply in their seats and pulled UP
their horses. AS they sat there, motioness.

they wheeled again and rode When 1 knew
they were far away, rose and made my way t.
the fort. which was not very far distant There
1 heard that there had been a dance that morn |
ing and the Indians were in ugly temper. all
OF which did not tend to lessen my appreciation
OF the danger I had run.
1T was only the natural Indian disnclination |
to an open fight which led them to spare me- |
am certain. If they could have sneaked around |
from ambush. they would have killed me |
without hesitation, but kept my eye on them

Each to serve one as her beau.
After supper, after dressing,
And the girls came down once more
Such scene of fresh. young beauty
Scarce was ever seen before;
For each maiden looked her prettiest
Some were dark aud others fair
Some had darkest chestnut tresses,
Others sunny, curling hair,
Some were tall and regal looking,
Every move of ease aud grace,
Others smaller, swceter, fairer,
Supple figure, winning face.
Among the various types of beauty,
Coy aud winning none the less,
Always smiling, always gracious,
Came the sweet young hostess, "Bess''

None will e'er forget, we know,

their absence is hardly noticed.
Cunning thus far has been good
but the gunners have been

Our citizens, particularly the
gunners, have been much inter-
ested in the suit now pending
between Mr.. Jno. D. Doxey, of
Poplar Branch, and several of
the guards employed by the Cur
rituck Club. According to
Johns story, he was some dis
lance from the clubs marsh and
the guards came and laid their
boats along side with sails hois-
ted, thus driving off his ducks.
He had them indicted for spoil
ing his days work. What the
outcome will be is very doubtful,
as the club will no doubt stick
to their guards and carry the
case to the Superior Court.
