VOL. 2Ck SALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 187G. NO. 221 SUREOUIDED BY AMAHS. THE STOUT OF A 1IKAVE WOMAN'S TlilAL. A bright, warm, spring day; the sun light atronmlng --through the Inaflnss brandes of the kiijo trwos; the birds tak ing Rilvantagfi of the glorltnn weather to sine tholr loudest and sweetoBt songs, and all nature rejolulnj: In the breaking up ol the long winter's Bleep, and tho advent of sprint;. In the foreground ot the scene stand? the humhle house of a frontiersman, a rough nructute of logs and bark; In front of the door the crlndstouo. on which the sturdy settler whets the use that has al ready laid low many monarch of the for est; against the rough unbearded walls hang the skins of animals that the skill ot the hunter has captured. , At the toot of a tree Immediately In front ol the door two children ure at play little tots, the pride of the settlor's heart a boy oi six years, and a jjirl a year or two younger. Such whs the scene presented at the home of Gabriel Lntour, on tho Pawnee liver, iu Western Kansas, hi the spring of mm, Labour hud followed the adventurous life of a trapper and hunter for many years, until finally, tired of roaming with out any settled homo, ho nwriod the daughter of a Slissourlon settler, 'Hook up'' a quarter section ot land, and went to farming. His wile born on tho frontier, was a lit hnlmnnet for a man whoso life mutt new sillily be one of hardship and privation. Marian Latnur wan ow who uoiilJ handle. a rifle or a pistol ns well as the tmple mend of her homohold Industry, and to her skill In the use ol those woupoiK and hot own Indomitable bravery must be .at tributed the siiM'sslul Issue of the siege' which we were about to relate. As the sun began to creep slowly down the West itud tlm shadows were lengthen ing:, Mrs. l.atour came to the- door to call the uhllderon to their evening meal. ller husband had started that morning lor tho settlements on I he Haliuc river, mid be was not expected back till the next day. "Conns children," sb! called, ''its time you were both inside, I'onm Km ina "and then tho words died cold on h.ir lips and the blood ran cold to her heart us her eyes fell on a little clump of hughes about, it dozen yards to the rear of the tree where the children were silting. ldtl her eyes deceive heri" VVas thai brownish-red thing she saw hut a heap of the last autumn's leave!' No. Too well she knew what It was the hideously pahited face of an Indian, Then the natural cool courage ot the woman uttnwihi tl -suit. II ftu netrayeu her kn Jwledgu of tho presence ol her sav age foe. It would but precipitate the at tack, which was now Imminent. Like a lightning Hash she formed her plan of action, and then, stepping out from the door sho went around doing some work outside just ns coolly as it there wasn't mil Indian within a thou nnil miles, hut with every nerve strained to its utmost tension, mid every sense on the alert for the least sign ot uttuuk. "Come, come, children. " she called after a few nipnitni's, "the evening meal is Retting cool.'1 The little ones eeused their piny and came running toward her, and they nil walked Into the house. To done and look the heavy door, nnd to swing to and bar the strong shutterH of the window wan lint the work of a moment. JSot au Instant too soon was the work accomplished, us the Indians at once saw that they had been observed, and a tdio war of bullets and arrows were hurled against the house. Hastily pinning the children in a place of safety, the brave woman ran to the rack where the arnv, always ready loaded," stood. Ktie found she had two double-barreled shot guns, a Hpeneer rifle, and plenty of ammunition, so that as long usslri kept the Indians at a distance she was all right. A yell from tho savages startled her. .Running hastily to one of the loopholes iu the front of the bonne, she saw four of thom making a rush, With the evident intention of getting up to tlio door before she had time to lire at- them. Tho shot guns were loaded with pis tol bullets. Quickly running- the tiiu..ie of one of them out through the loop-hole, she took aim at the fore most Indian. A crack of the piece, and lie fell dead. . The others turned and ran, but too late! Aural u the fatal crack of the gun, and another savage went to his happy hunting grounds. The other t wo Hiieceeded in getting undercover before the heroic wo.meii could bring tho second gun to hear on them. A howl of rage and dismay arose from tho edge, of the timber as the savages saw the fate of their comrades and for a long time no apparent elfort was made by them to continue the light. tfhe knew by the stillness that was kept by the Indians that they were getting ready some new plau for her capture. (Suddenly a thought struck her. hhould they make an attack from be hind the house they would be upou her before she was aware, J low was she to guard against this ? Hue could not iruard both sides at once. A bright idea flashed across her mind. The boy ! (She would place him as a sentry iu tho rear. Ho was old enough to understand what wan wanted. "Uabriel!" she called, "come here!" The little fellow ran from bis hid ing place in aconnrol'tho room and came up to her. . ''My boy, come here to this window. Do you see those woods there ?" The child said he did; "In thorn woods, my boy, are bad men who want to kill us. Will you watch and let me know if they try to come near the house 1" The little fellow promised obedi ence, and at once commenced his watch, with a look on his face that showed how much ha appreciated the honor ana responsibility ot his posi tion. Then the brave woman made her preparations for what she feared would .he a desperate struggle for ber own life and those of her little ones Presently a movement on the part or iier savage iocs attracted ner atten tion. An Indian showed his head from behind one of the large logs in front of the house. Waiting for a few mo ments, as if to see if he was observed, tie gradually movau out until his whole body was visible. What could he his object V It was something unusual for an In dian to expose himself thus. The solution ot the puzzle came 1m mediately. "Mamma," cried little Gabriel; "What is it, child?" 'There's one of the men coming to the house." Then sue saw atonoe that the ap pearance ot tne Indian in tront was ruse to attract her attention while his companions attacked the house from behind. "Gabriel," she called hastily, come here. The boy ran over to her. Hhe pushed the muzzle of one of the guns through tne loop-hole, ami the savaifo immediately disappeared. "-Now, Uabriel," she said, "when ever that man shows himself you push the gun so that he ean see it." The hoy promised to do as he was bid. Then the brave mother went to the buck of the house. Three Indians were slowly creeping up toward it, taking ft .Wantage of every tree, rock, or inequali ty of ground. They evidently intended to; take her by surj r.se. Determined that this time she: would make every shot tell, she wait ed until they were within twenty yards. They were clone together, and crawling up slowly. Suddenly the muzzle of the shot gun was protruded from the loop-hole. The savages saw their tuisUKe and turned to flee. Too late ! The sharp crack of the gun was heard, and two of them rol led ; over in the agonies ol ileum flection of the f fire, so that she bad no chance for a shot. Fiercer nnd fiercer grew the flames. The root, dry as Under, speedily caught everywhere a spark dropped on it. The heat was beginning to be unbearable. Was there no hope tor them? Suddenly a strange sound.mlngled with the crackling of the fire. What was it? A yell, but not from an Indian throat. yvith every sense on the alert she listened. Again the yell, and then a rattle of rifle shots, mingled with shouts and triumph and lrantlc howls of terror and dismay. Kunninc to the onen window, she looked out, and could see by the light of tne Durning roof, tne savages flying in ter ror across the open lot; while among them were the forms or white men cutttine and shooting at the flyine enemy. Across toward the opposite woods they went, out were tne lnaiaus were met oy another body ot whites, and soon sur rounded on all sides, after a hard fight they all fell before the deadly knives and pistols of their exasperated and relentless foes. By this time Mrs. Latour and her children were out of the house and In the arms of the loving father and hus band. After the excitement had subsided, and the fire had been put out by the exertions of the neighbors, Uabriel told his wife how he had come to return so soon and so opportunely. , After leaving the house the day be fore, be rode a couple of miles, and then finding that he had forgotten one of his pistols rode back to get it. On arriving near the house he found Indian signs. Dismounting, he crawl ed carefully up and saw them in am bush. K nowing that he could do no good alone, he started as fast as his horse could go for Baline City, mustered a party and trot back just in time to save his loved ones from a horrible dentil.

A loud, mournful howl was raised by tho savages in the woods when they saw their comrades fall, and for nearly an hour afterward they re mained perfectly quiet. Then another and more devilish plan of operations was commenced. beeing that there was but little hope of getting possession ol the house by means of a direct attack, without iiiuurriuu a fearful loss ot numbers, they nut iu practice one of the expedients ot Indian warfare, which it the most dsti- ffurons because the hardest to combat. An Indian suddenly appeared on the edge ot the wood. In his hands he held a bow, and on its string was an arrow with a burning rig fixed on the head ol it. Mrs. Mufour nred at nun with tne spen cer but lie drew hastily behind a tree and .she missed him. Then, before she had time to draw back and recharge her ritle, he jumped forward and discharged the burning airow at the house. With intense anxiety the woman watched the blazing nilssle as it flew throuarii tho air, and Jier relief was great as she saw it cirried by the force of the wind away to the left ot the house and tail among the trees, Again and again the experiment was tried, but, somehow without success; and the Indians showed their vexation by keeping a continual shower ef bullets rat tling against the house. Tho shades of night were now falling. It was with a feeling of the deepest ap prehension that Marian Latour saw the darkness coming on. undercover ol the night the savages could approach quite near to the house without being discovered, anil ner Heart tell as she thought how little probability there was of a vve ik woman being able to keep thorn back until morning, when she expected Iter husband to return. lie was only one man against at least twenty. He would have 'to ride back to the settlements for help, and by the time be again returned, if lie was fortunate enough to escape the savages, what might not have happened? iier reflection wore cut short by a yell ot savage exultation from the Indians. She looked out, but could see nothing unusual. What did it mean? Something must have occurred to give rise to that triumphant and decisive yell. Straining every nerve, she listened with the most Intense anxiety. The souud seemed to come from the root In one coiner ot the building. A few minutes re vealed the dreadful cause, the roof was on tire! Already tho lire began to burn through. and a red glowing spark appeared iu one coi ner of the roof. The children began to cry piteously, as if aware of the danger In which they sluod. and Mrs. Laiour's heiirt almost tailed her.
