nothing until each warrior suddenly !
sprang upon the soldier nearest him
and tried with all his might and
power to take his gun away from

soldiers were killed and the indians
escaped to the mountains. Gen.
Scott very willingly seized this op
portunity for compromise.
It was now that the government
engaged the services Of William
Holland Thomas, who possessed the
full confidence OF the Cnerokees, and
asked him to place before U'tsaIa

Charley and his sons and surrender
them for punishment, the pursuit
would be called off and the fuei-
tjves allowed to remain unmolested
until an effort could be made to

told the chief Gen. SCOTS proposi-
ton and showed him how BY his
aiding in bringing Charley party

WOODEN SCAfFOLD BROKE
Two Bricklayers Had Remarkable Es-

Raising a Brick Wall on new The
tire, Front and Pine Streets

Two bricklayers, employed on the
erection of the new theatre building
being erected by R. NJ. Frey, Front and
Pine streets, had narrow escape from
serious injuries this morning when a
scaffold on which the men were stand
ing in raising the brick wall, broke and
precipitated them to the ground, dis
tance of about fourteen feet.
Bad weather has delayed the work
on this building for nearly one month
and the fine weather of yesterday
brought the men to work. This morn
ing, in the effort to rush work, several
cart loads of brick were hustled on
the scaffold occupied by the men. The
weight proved to be more than the sup
ports would stand and with crack and
rush, timoers, brick and men came to
earth with noise which was heard for
some distance. Fortunately both men
landed on their feet on top the pile of
rubbish and both were able to resume
work as soon as they could extricate
themselves from the debris.
