daylight two only of the Indians were
seen coming down the road towards
the cattle pens, rifle on shoulder, and
on these the whole undisciplined body .
opened fire. One was killed on the !
spot; the other, though badly Grip
pied, managed to escape. Then things
took place that were a disgrace to
the name of man; the poor dead
wretch was even scalped and other
wise horribly mutilated by some of
our towards, for l don't think brave
man could be guilty Of such acts. The
command scattered in pursuit of the
wounded Indian and it was with some
difficulty that they could be got to-
gether again. This was at last effect
ed, when they were marched back to
the bank of the river and posted
about the ruins of the burnt houses.
Soon the Indians were seen coming
down boldly led by "Wild Cat" or as
the Indians called him eco wax co
Chez son of old Billy "Bowlegs."
This fellow was splendid specimen
OF an Indian chief; TALL straight and
quite a handsome man, but an i'm
,, pudent dog and with the manners of a
hog. l knew him very we'll as we
were boys together and he and his
father had often visited and traded
at my fathers house. Down he came
whooping and yelling, paint and feath-
ers and all, and with the reflectors
from the Light House at Mosquito
Bar (Which they had lately burnt
bound round his manly brow by way
of ornament. When they got within
a hundred yards or so of where We
were posted, they all seemed sudden
Iyy tn iCo oil n e.,
lence. That was the most trying time
to me of all the fight. They were
creeping up to us in the long grass
and saw palmetto scrub and we could
see them and yet every moment ex-
pected to hear them open or feel their
shot. Soon it began and it was pop

the second retreat was by no means |
an orderly one tho it was ordered. /
The tide was out, the water shallow
and the boats a long way out. so it
happened that in splashing along at
double quick every gun in the COM
mand (mostly flint and steel locks)
got wet and could not be fired. Then
the largest boat, a whale boat. was
hard and fast aground and there were
not enough men around her at one
time to push her afloat, SO they crowd
ed into the other three and LETT her
to her fate. Young Gould took off
to the South or towards Pelican Is

Marks They got to the Island. Marks

home to the camps about as soon as
the rest: Gould would not risk it
and was captured by the Indians and
horribly burnt at the stake At the
same time Will, negro belonging
to Mr.. Anderson. was killed on the
spot AS we reached the boats the
Indians opened a tremendous and
deadly fire on the command and then
occurred most OF the casualties OF the
day. 1t was while standing up in the
boat and trying to shove her off fac
ing them that l got all my wounds
and with me julius Reynolds of Wad
malaw Island, was badly shot in the
! face. Domingo Martinello, of St Au
gustine got wounded. from which he
soon after died and several others
whose names l have forgotten. The
Indians got the whale boat aflOat
and attempted to follow us, but after
we got one musket dry enough to
shoot, loaded her up, and as they came
on all standing up in the boat, some
| polling her along and some firing at
us, off went old Brown Ben with an
ounce of ball in her The ball richOt-

been lodging the balls all day. but

ALASKA MINING STOCK IN.
 VOLVED IN LAW SUIT.

The supreme court of the United States recently handed down a decis- ion in which two hundred thousand shares of the Lost River Tin Mining Company of Alaska was involved. The case was that of the estate of Leslie l.. Grim, against w. K. Miner, involv- ing the confirmation of contract with an executor of the will, which was later declared void for lack of testementary capacity and because of alleged undue capacity and because of undue influence practised on the deceased. The stock has a value of several thousand dollars, and had been disposed of by a miner for a fraction of it's actual value.

PLACER GROUND TO WESTWARD
 BE DRILLED

A drill is now being manufactured in Seattle to prospect placer ground along the right of way of the Alaska Northern railroad, and Professor
 Herschell Parker will perform the
 work.
 Mir. Parker took part in the survey of the country tributary to the right of way of the government railroad, and expresses the opinion that thou sands of square miles of placer ground that can be worked by i'm proved methods. are stretched along that country. The drill to be brought north is of the latest kind. It can dig by suction to depth of forty feet by hand power and can be used for much deeper ground if a two horse bower engine is added to fl. MT Parker is reported by telegraphic ad- ,ices to have immense capital at his back.
 In the Ford matter MT. Parker re-
 iterates the statement that the now famous peace man borrowed to use no stronger terms, the plans which pr. Parker had made of a submarine which could run just under the sur face of the water. This submarine
 can be handled by two men. and would
 he perfect for the work of defending the coast The professor says he sent the plans to Ford to use them if he so wished, and that Ford took them before the secretary of the navy and said they were plans formulated by himself. Mir. Parker also says that he got an answer from Ford's secretary, but that Ford denied later that the plans had been received. Another in
 vention made by MT. Parker is searchlight by which submarines could be seen under water. Both tho
 New York Times and the New York World recently carried long accounts of both inventions.
