A Brother Tr Heel Tell or 111 Ex perience Willi Bed Eagle, tbe Fa mouH iblefol tbe Kooienay. correspondent of The Standard- Nelson, B. 0., June 27. Aa I sit in my cabin this dark and rainy day, my memory is carried back to the spring of '81. It was on the 9th of May that as I sat by my window looking ont oyer the broad moor that stretches out towaid the south from Fiat Bow, British Columbia, to Banners Ferry, Idaho, I had been at my little trading post six months and ten days, and nothing unoom. mon to a trader's life had ocourred. On this particular day I felt de pressed and out of spirits; I sat list lesBly gazing out on the dreary land scape meditating on my native land. There seemed all of a sadden to spring up a gale of wind from the south and at the same time a dense fog, and there was a rumbling noise not like that of thunder but like the approach of a troup of cavalrymen. I gave a more search' ins glance at the thick vapor and i saw the dim outlines of a horseman. It seemed that the horse was carried or held up by the fog. I looked with wonder on this strange phe nomenon. At onoe the windeeased blowing and the fog disappeared leaving an Indian warrior and his pony standing about fifty feet from my window. There the Indian stood motionless looking at me with keen and ecrutin;zmg eyes, a carrabco skin was wrsppid around his form and bis long black hair hung over his shoulders .in an-entar.gled mass, lie had quiver willed filled with arrows, also bow in hand. 1 do not know how long I sat looking at thie savage between fear and doubt as to 1 i i regeneration. Howsver I at last succeeded in taking my eyes off of him, when I looked again his conn, ttnance seemed to be lit up with more aDiuiation, there was not such a sorowl upon his face. Suddenly he broke the Bilence; he addiessed 'me in the Keotenay tongue: "Kas kinnie ninco lurwom," which be mg interpreted is where did yon come from Before I could reply hf went on. "It has been fifty yean since I left this oountry; in my timi there were no pale faces in the broad yalley. There was a time when mj people were happy they would defj the iBo'emency of the winters blast in the book skin olo hing, it was sport for them to torment the griz zlies with bow and arrow and they met their enemies without fear. I at that time was chief of the Koote nays. I was known by the tribes of the south as the Red Eagle of th( north. For thirty years I led my people to victory first, against on tribe, then auother. We held our beautiful valley against overwhelm ing fores. The Ntz Percies and Flat Heads have time and again tried to take possession of this onqntry. They succeeded a', one t; get as far as Tobacco P!ain 'i we met them. They out i, o in i ed my tribe four to one but af; r rree days of bard fighting we drove .hem back to their own country. The Crows, the Black Feet and Regans from tie north; Spokancs, and Colyilles from the west; the Nez Ptrcies and Flat Heuds from the south have all tried to get poesetsion of of th'S valley but we have witts o d all their dastardly attacks. It was just fifty yeirs ago today that I met Tultam mee, the chief of tte Crowe. He bad crofsed tie Roc k ea through the Cr ws' nebt pass, and was encamped at tbe mouth of Bull Kiver on tbe K ioienay, right in the heart of my country with lour thousand warriors I at once held a oouncil and decided to attack him with my whole force containing two thousand. This wai the hardest fougt battle tbat the Kootenays eyer engaged in. Il wae in iiit- fluht that I received mv Hra'h wound from a spear in the hand cf Tultammee, (at this point in bis narrative he exposed his breast) and 1 could see a broken spear still remaining in his chest.) ' Notwith tunriinir tht odds aeainst them, and the fall of their chief. My son at innlr Mmiiiunil and drove the crows back across the Kockies into ihir own country.

"All kinds of sensational rumors were afloat in Lexington and' the neighboring towns, but when sifted o i down there proved to be Homing in t.hrm. Mr. John W Holland. brother of the late Mrs. Springs, while in search last Iriday got on th trail of a autDicious character who was seen near Weloome. He traced the man to within a few miles of Danville, Va., when he lost the trail. Mr. Holland returned to Lexington last night "The supposed murderer is a man of medium size, light hair, Bharp face, slightly freckled, clean shaved, wearing dark blue olothes weu worn, and a soft, brown hat with narrow brim, and carried a took with names of postoffices in Racks ing ham county, N. C. "At this writing it seems that the murderer will never be found and tht entire e flair will remain shrouded in mystery." Bride Kaoekcd Seaaeles. Tha colored settlement in the upp r edge cf the county was the scene of a hightoned wedding last Tuesday, which might hays been pulled off all right to the last round but for the sudden burst of enthu siasTi npon the part of the best man, wh:ch came near precipitating a eeneral riot. The adieus had been .aid, and the newly married pair were about entering a twc-mule wagon at the gate for a trip to the rural villa of the groom, when the mine was exploded beneath them. In accordance with the usual custom ob.snch oocaeions, the company had pelted the couple with noe, hominy and a general assortment of grocer ies, when the "best man" loped to he front with the conventional old shoe, which in this instance hap pened to be a castoff No. 11 brogan of the bride's father and weighed four pounds net, to say nothing of a half pound of dry mud tbat olucg o the heel and instep. The shoe hurler steadied himself, and amidst burst of applause let fly the token of good luck, nis aim was fault less, the shoe striking the bride in he burr of tht ear aud knocking tier senseless. Blood trickled from the wound, and at the sight of tbi he groom became frenzied with rage, and made for tbe best man with a razor. In tbe general lumul' ihp mnlei took frieht and ran away, and tbe bridal trip thus cauie to a suddin and unexpected halt. A warrant charging tbe shoe thrower nth saaanlt and batterv upon tbe bride is alout to be sworn on', and the next round in the matrimonial melee will likely be fought with the justice of the peace as referee.

Mbeotlng at Morebeait. The Newbern Journal of June 26th says : There was a Bhooting uff.ir at the Atlantlo Hotel at Morehead on ThurBday morning, be tween a young man named Wooten, of La Grange, and a friend named Slocumb, of Greensboro, in which one of the shots fired by Wooton at Slocumb took t-fleet in the calf of the leg of a by slander named Merritt. The difficulty ocourred in the bar of the hotel and arose over a disputed note from a lady friend in the DOBtecsion of one of the men and claimed by the other. From tbe itateuients of witDfSies it appear that both of the men were anXtr the influenoe of liquor. Wooton fired to shots. The first passed jast above the shoulder of Slocumb, going through his coat and vest. The second shot lodged in a by stunner's leg causing bim, it is sid, to beoome: (quite angry. Wcoten was arrested and released on bail. Slocumb passed through Newbern yesterday and storped off long enough for a drink.
