A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Terrible Experience of a H0nter
With an Indian Band.

with an Indian Band.
One of the most remarkable instances
of the escape of white man from the
Indians was that of John Golfer. IA
nous hunter and trnpper. On the day
sn question he and his companion were
surrounded by 600 savage warriors
The companion was instantly killed,
and Golfer was captured. His foes had
no intention of saving his life. how.
eyer. They wanted the sport of put
ting him to the torture or at least of
playing with him as cat plays with Il
mouse. The chief asked him IL he
could run He said. Not much"
lie was released and told to save his
life if he could.
Golfer darted away ut high speed,
and most of the GOO savages set Off aft.
er him. There was plain before him
six miles wide, bounded on the far side
by a river fringed with trees. Golfer
had always been famous as a runner,
and his practice now stood him In good
stead. He made straight across the
plain for the stream, and the yells OF
his pursuers lent him wings. His foes
nAd removed every shred of clothing
from his body, and the plain was COW
cred with prickly pears, SO that his un-
protected feet were lacerated at every
stride.
Half way across the plain he glanced
back and saw that only few Indians
were following him. Again he ran on
and soon realized that one OF his pur-
Suers was nearing him. He redoubled
his efforts and blood gushed from his
nostrils and flowed down over his
breast.
The fringe Of trees was near but a
hnsty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised. Moved by sudden inn
pulse, Golfer stopped, turned and faced
the savage with outstretched arms.
The Indian was so taken aback at
this unexpected movement that he
stumbled and fell. This was Golfers
opportunity. He ran back, seized the
spear and, pinning his antagonist to
the ground, ran on.
Other savageS came on, fiercer than
before at the death of their eomrade.
but Golfer reached the trees, plunged
sDt0 their midst and then into the river
and swan to pile of driftwood that
had lodged. He dived beneath 1t and
stuck his head up between two logs
covered with smaller timbers and
brush.
The Indians came up and searched
for several hours, but failed to find
sim. Again and again they walked
over the driftwood. Luckily they did
siot fire 1t. as he feared they would

W.T.. StilIWell Killed.

Fort Worth, Tex, Jan. &c.
In rear.end collision between
two stock trains porthbound at
8 o'clock this morning near kel-
Ter, fifteen miles north from Fl.
Worth, w. II. Stillwell was in
stantly killed and his body
burned in the wreck, and j. G.
Adkins was MORALLY injured.
One leg and one arm were brok.
en-.
An orange train was pulling
in on the siding when the fatal
accident occurred, and was
closely followed by stock train,
running in two sections. the
first section had been signalled
by the orange train, and had
come to a standstill, but the
second section, on account of
dense fog, failed to see the dan
ger and crashed into the ca
boose Of the first section. The
engine plowed its way half
through the cab and pinned
Stillwell under the wreckage.
The cahoose took fire and before
he could be reached by trainmen
was burned to crisp. He was
asleep when the crash came.
The car next TO the cab was also
wrecked aud many of the cattle
manned. No other fatalities
occurred.
The dead man and the injured
man live at Rosebud, South
Texas, and owned the stock that
were being shipped to the ST.
Louis market. The collision
was on the transcontinental or
Joint track.
Mr.. Stillwell's death will be
sad news to many of our read
ers, as he is we'll known in the
San Angelo country, having
:, lived here and at Sterling City
for a number of years. He was
