with the Indians. This feature OF the early
settlement Of this country was more to
be dreaded than the fear of starvation Of
the strain Of our long journeys. for, oon-
nected with these journeys was also the
fear of coming in contact with the red
man or the thought Of having our families
and belongings destroyed by them.
An Indian scare.
IN the spring OF 1864. while on our way
to Fort Kearny, we saw groups Of In
dams on the hills and they were appar-
emily making observations. A line of posts
extended from Fort Leavenworth to Kearny
and on to Denver. These posts were
twelve miles apart. RUmors reached US
that the Indians were on the war path.
We hurried our OK teams with all possible
haste to the fort and did our business and
turned our steps homeward, for our houses
were unprotected and the alarm should be
given that the settlers might flee or or
ganize for defense. We camped on high
ground the first night and In the morning
as we looked north we saw the smoke Of
the burning posts along the line. We made
haste to get away towards home with all
possible speed. but remember. we had on
teams and our progress was slow. We lid

settlement and murdered our families, as
they were defenseless.
When we arrived, however, we found
the settlement alarmed but unhurt, so we
gathered up all we could take with us in
our wagons to Dexter's ranch, where Clay
Center now stands. We gathered thsre
around the well that is now covered in the
rear Of Eric Swenson's office. Putting our

what few cattle we had, and the women
and children, we waited for the coming of
the savage Indians. There were about
fifty men, women and children. The men
kept out scouts night and day to give he
alarm. We had little protection either in
guns or ammunition Captain schooIey
was sent to Fort Riley for help. He re-
turned with twenty muskets and three
boxes of ammunition for each man. Thus
armed the men got all the horses they
could and started out to find the Indians.
We left Cooper and Lakin in charge vi
the herd Of cattle and went out as far as
White Rock. where we found a company OF
United States soldiers looking for Indians
also.
Men Killed and Woman Prisoner.
From the soldiers we learned that all the
posts were destroyed west Of Kearny,
except Pawnee, where a sufficient num-
Der of settlers and others had assembled
and were able to defend themselves. So
the Indians did not attack US. At KeIley's
ranch Mr.. Roper and Mr.. Kelley were
killed and Miss Roper was taken prisoner.
The twenty mounted men soon returned.
We decided then TO break camp and built
a permanent stockade farther north. We
came to where Clifton now stands and
held an informal meeting and decided to
go about three miles farther west, Here
we built four large log houses in a square
and then returned to our claims.
In September OF the previous year a
roaming band Of Indians fell unexpectedly
upon a family by the name Of White while
they were making hay. Mr.. and Mrs
White we're killed in a most brutal way
and their daughter was taken prisoner

Week-End Gossip
 from Paris
BY A. W. L,AMoUREUx.

Paris, May 2e-During his visit to Nice. where he unveiled the statue Of Gambetta. and to the other towns on the Riviera. President Fallieres told two delightful stories of the Great Tribune. Gambetta was. as everybody knows. the author of the celebrated axiom, "Le cIerfcalisme vofla rennemi" c'priesthood is the enemy"). But think this Is the first time that the reply to this outburst has been re- peated.
 President Fallieres said. in one of his after-dinner speeches: "A few days after the phrase was made, the Papal Nuncio, Monsignor ChiRi. took Gam betta aside.
 You are wrong. he said. to att tack the Jesuits.' When you thump them with your cienched fist you will find that your hand. is pretty sure tp sweil'"
 M. Faiiieres' second story Is a re- mark of M. Thiers: He called upon Gambetta and found him in his room with an embroidered smoking cap up- on his head and a new pair of embroid- cred slippers on his feet.
 'So.' he said. you are loved from head to foot. see.'''
 Another Thiers- s-Gambetta story, which M. Failieres did not tell is Thiers' reply to a friend who mar yelled at the praise which M. Thiers lavished upon a man whom before the historic 18th of May he had openly de- tested. T don't like him any better than I did" said M. Thiers, but his shortcomings have to be swallowed, so the least I can do Is to make them appear as small as possible. or they would choke me.
 People in a charming liatIe suburb of Paris were surprised the other day to see the most popular man in the place led away to the poiice-station by two policemen, They learned, after wards. to their stiil greater astonish. ment, that he was notorious burglar
 He lived in a handsome villa and &C., quired his populariay by his generous gifts to all his neighbors. He left his house every evening to go. as he said, to his work. and returned in the morn- ing carrying very often a bag or bundle of considerable dimensions. to which other residents paid no atten. ton, as they thought that it had some- thing to do with his regular occupa- ton. The police. however. were more wide awaks. and. by a curious co-in- cfdence, his name was found on the de- tective records as having for quite a while sold a number of valuable ob. Jects to a secondhand dearer.
 An inquiry was decided upon, and when the detectives called at his dwei. ling they found it a regular store. house of precious articles of every de,

 When arresaed, the man confessed that what he called his regular work was merely that of a burglar. "oue vouiez vousrr he said to the detect- ives. T have no other profession. and 1t was the only way I had of earning my living.
 He imagined. however, that by dfs- posing generously of all his superffu- ous articles and posing besides as . local benefactor and philanthropist. he partly made up for the way in which he made an income for himself.

 A Letter Mystery.
 Adressed to Madame la Duchesse de Devonshire." letter arrived here the other day in care of big Paris drap- CT. from West Africa.
 It began in French: My beloved: Your portrait has reached me on the Ivory Coast. I work in a factory. I love you. wiil you marry me."
 The letter went into raptures upon the charms of the lady. to which the writer had fallen victim upon ses- ing her portrait. The manager of the ter when he read it. and the mystery for some time remained unravelled.
 But he suddenly remembered the ships latest catalogue, and the explan- ation came upon him in a flash. On the cover had been printed a repro- duction of Gainsborough's famous pie ture. the Duchess of Deyonshire. The author of the ioye-letter was found to be a negro, who wrote fair French. having served in the Algerian army for four years. He had received the catalogue. and had fallen instantly in love with the lady whose picture ap. peared on the cover, and whom he seems to have tawen to be the man. ageress of the shop in question.
 His affection would not appear to have been wholly disinterested. His offer of marriage was uot uncondition. al. He assumed that the Duchess of Devonshire would be willing to make some small concession to become his wife, and he wrote in a postscriptum: q have at present no money to pay my traveling expenses to Europe. If you will kindly forward a remittance will take the next steamer"
 The only answer which could be made to the iness-like negro lover was that the Duchess of Devonshire, to whom he referred had unfortunate. ly been dead for some years.
