A TERRIBLE CONFLICT.
in
Hand-to-Hand Fight Between an In
dian Chief and a White Man.
CHEROKEE TACTICS.
J 11 or sihor.t the your 1S-13,
says :i writer in the Dalton ((iti)
v;itizen, I met Major. I oh 11 Sea
Iioni, whose exploits nntl adven
tures among the Cherokee In
dians, in the early settlement of
the northern portion of Georgia,
may be. remembered by the
surviving pioneers of that-period,
lie related to me many in
terest inr i undents connected
with his life ami travels among
the natives. One of these was
a hand-to-hand coniiict with a
powerful Cherokee Indian, the
details of which 1 well remem
ber.
u T was
ki-t il ln linf ill.
time of
tiiti ocfiiirencc I mil
about to relate, in lay twenty
lift h year, ami in the prime of
vigorous manhood. 1 sloud 0
feet 11 inches in my stockings,
weighed 100 pounds, and in the
games ami athletic sports of the
times I bad never found my
match; nor was I deficient in
tho.-e traits of courage and dar
ing so common, and, I may fay,
so necessary in those perilous
times. Po.-s.sessino; a wild, iov
iug disposition, I bad left my
home in Nortb Carolina, having
no friends or companion in my
rambles save a huge brindle
dog, a noble and faithful ani
ma!, ever ready to do my bid
ding. !v a peculiar whistle be
tween my lingers, I coultl call
biin frt-m a great distance, and
bad Itiiigbt him many useful
tricks and performances.
"():i ono occasion, when I was
in the employ of a sun eying
party, we camped at a point on
the banks of the Etowah ricr,
in what is now known as the
Seventeenth District of Hartow
county, and not more than a
mile and a li'nlf from a htrge
cave.
'Xear our camp, at a large
spring, there was si missionary
station, and with the missicnu
ries was a party of pioneeis who
were engaged in the maniifac
iure ol saltpeter, wbicb they
jiroduced from dirt b ailed from
this czive to the spring, and us
ed in the preparation of gun
powder. This station was be
tween our camp ami the cave.
A DIM TRAM. IN T1IK Fi:i-T.
'One beautiful morning I
concluded to visit, the missiona
ries, and started out for the pur
pose along a dim trail through
the forest. I bad proceeded
about the fourth of a mile when
the sound of a human voice at
tracted my attention. "With the
caution acquired I))' lozig resi
dence union" a tricky and dan
gcrous people, I quickly step
ped behind a large bush and lis
tened intently. The voices ap
proached, ami two figures
emerged into view not more
than thirty yards from me the
one an Indian of gigantic si.c,
the other the most beautiful fe
male my eyes had ever beheld.
She was .seated on a jet. black
pony of line mettle and propor
tions. Her position in uzo sad
dle was moat graceful. A
blonde of fmltlesS form, feat
ures beautiful beyond descrip
tion and with king, golden wavy
tresses profusely banging down
upon the back of her?led. As
the savage held the bridle bit,
with ton ahawk in band, a glance
suiliccd to show me that site was
not a voluntary companion in
the journey. Indeed. 1 had
scarce bad time to form this
opinion of I be situation before
all doubt was removed bra ss:d-dt-n
and ineffectual effort oi: the
part of the fair rider lo extri
cate herself fiom i:i.; grap by a
ji'ik of the bridle, whiHt caused
tin; p-ny to rear almost erect
upon bis hind feet, whereupon
the savage, still clinging to the
bridle, raised his tomahawk and
exclaimed:
" 'Hold, white fawn, or by
the (4 rent Spirit my tomahawk
shall drink your blood! iMe,
the son of a great chief, must
have my pretty white squaw in
bis wigwam.'
"Here the motion of bis up
lifted weapon caused a violet
; surge by the pony, throwing the
ruler, who wsis instantly grasp
ed by tiie fierce savage.
"With an almost overwhelm
ing impulse of rage and fury,
my heart throbbing and my very
oreaiu suppressed wmi llie ex
citemcnt of the moment, I
sprang forward with the leap of
a panther, and with a yell which
so startled the savage that be
loosed bis hold upon the lady
and made several hounds from
her toward the woods.
' "Scfciifg mc, she excluit?re7lrJ
u,Ob! sir, save me! Save
me!'
'The savage now turned and
stood at bay, not twenty steps
distant.
'The pony stood still, tremb
ling, near the lady.
KACKl) AUol T VI' 11 TZIH FICIIT.
"'Mount! Mount!' snid I,
quick, ami ily!' at the same
lime lifting her into the saddle.
'As she moved olf I faced
the iudian, who bad turned and
stooil at bay, and recogni.ed
him as the famous and blood
thirsty George Toole, known
among the Indians as Cnaka-yah-wab
(white man killer).
Ile was a man of tremendous
size and strength and of the
mot desperate character. lie
stood motionless for a moment
staring at me with a hideous ex
pression of hatred and revenge.
As I looked at his fiendish eye
and raw a huge tomahawk in
his biawny hand, there Hashed
through my mind for the first
time the immense disadvantage
of my position.
-1 bad, unfortunately, left
the camp on this occasion with
out my pistol, and had no wea
pon except a small bunting
knife, which hung at my side.
Quiek in emergencies and ac
cutomed to perilous adventure,
my plan was instantly formed.
It was to invite pursuit in the
direction of tlie camp where aid
could be procured. I began to
step ba.-kward. He at once do
lined my object and, with a ter
rible yell, sprang forward trust
ing to reach and dispatch me at.
once. Being of swift foot I
turned, bound forward, giving
as I started, a loud, keen whis
tle through my fingers. He
followed me with velocity equal'
to my own, anil at a distance of
about ten paces behind me. For
about one hundred yards he put
forth his utmost energies, and
then, as if despairing of sinvoss.
or fearing I might draw him in
to ambush, he hurled his toma
hawk at me with such swift and
fearful proximity to my head
that my cap was carried off, and
the instrument passing me, bur
ied itself in a tree some ft r.v
feet beyond.
'This was a contingency 1
i
had hoped for, and I suddctth
turned upon my foe.
'As we caiii' together I aim
ed a blow at ids head with m
iis-t. lie evaded me by a sidi
motion, ard, stepping two oi
three paecs backuard, rushed
upon me, attempting to throw
his head between my leg-. This
was a favorite feat aniiUg tit
Indian athletes, by which tbtv,

to my keife, and made an effort
to grasp it without success, as
the handle had caught ui.dcr my
waistband: and while in the ef- ;

him to let go my thumb, and

throw him. We thus struggled
for some moments, swaying to
