Word was brought to town this morn

In the evening the Regulator
ran by the island, but having promised
to pick them op, went back three or four
miles after them. They brought on
board nine sacks of skulls and bones,
and were delighted with their find.
Western people perhaps have ideas
about some things that are not shared
by the denizens of the East. One of
these is respect for the dead, and the
average westerner would no more think
of robbing an Indian burying ground
than be would of robbing that of the
white man.
These men, however, loaded their
sacks full of bones, procured boxes
and straw, and were proceeding to pack
the head pieces that formerly belonged
to eighty-two Indians. Someone, in
the meanwhile, had lodged a complaint
against them, and about 9 o'clock Night
Watchman Wiley arrested them and
took them before Justice Filloon, who
fixed bail for their appearance Monday
at $100 each. When arrested the men
were disposed to thing there was a
scheme to twist a fine of $10 or $20 out of
them, but when the statute was read to
them and they learned that the least
penalty was confinement for months in
the county jail, and might amount to
two years in the penitentiary, the petu
lant annoyance which they had exhibit
ed gave place to genuine alarm. Of
course they did not know it was against
the law, for they went openly at work,
and this, while in their favor, did not
excuse their offense. However, the
affair was settled in anmn stv. the

rived, there were two boys there, Neddy
Briggs and Bert Varney, who were al
ready in the water. Mr. Filloon sat on
the bank while Ray went in. The water

for a few rods was beyond the little

managed to get into this deeper water
add at once sank. Neddy, who is just
learning to swim, at once went bravely
to his assistance and of course Bert
grabbed him. Mr. Filloon, who supposed
both boys could swim, and consequently
thought thev were "fooling," soon saw
thafe they were drowning and at once
plunged in without even taking off his
t, and catching them, with a few vig-
rous strokes brought them out.
Neither had strangled, and in a little
bile were all right. Had Mr. Filloon
t been there, two little piles of cloth-
g on the bank would alone have told

wed a brave heart in going to his
companion s aid, for he risked bis life in
doing so, and bad he not done so, prob
ably the Varney boy would have
gone down and have been beyond aid
before Mr. Filloon could have reached
him. It was an accident with a happy
termination, and should serve as a cau
tion to parents to look after their boys

they learn to swim.
