I ndian Row.— A lot of Indians got on a
drunk at Independence la-t week, and, as usual,
the spree resulted in a free fight, in which one
o f the braves known as “ Perry” was sent to
the “ happy hunting grounds of his fathers
with a gash in the back of bis head, and sev­
eral bruises in various parts of bis body. A
squaw also received a severe blow across the
forehead with some iron instrument, and came
within an ace of furnishing Perry with com­
pany on bis journey. We saw her in Dallas
yesterday and she seemed not much troubled by
her ugly wound. Two “ bucks,” Dick and Jake,
were arrested charged with the killing, but as
no whites witnessed the fight there was not suf­
ficient evidence to hold them and they were
discharged. Query? Who furnished them the
whisky ?

a notice of his marriage accompanied by some
cake and wine. But if he gets a glorious, an-
gelie creature, all affection and goodness, he is
sure to send a two-and-a half piece with the
police tod etceteras. This is an infallible test.
M onster C abbage .— Mr. Levins has in his
garden on the edge cf town, 300 head of mon­
ster cabbage o f the cram-head variety. They
are ull of immease s ee, but one of them meas­
ures four feet and half an inch in diameter, and
be expects that when full grown it will weigh
at least forty pounds. The lot will no doubt
average at least twenty pounds per head The
timothy in his meadow averaged over four feet
in bight, while in some places it was nearly
seven feet high. “ Tall” products, these.

daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. B. F. Nichols, who
has been so sick for a month back that all her
friends, and even her physicians, looked on her
case as almost hopeless, is slowly but surely
recovering. In about a week she will, from
present indications, be able to leave her sick
bed.
N otice to E verybody .— Mr. Chapman, TJ.
S. Internal Revenue Collector, gives notice in
another column that he will be at Dallas July
21st to August 4th inclusive, to relieve the cit­
izens of Poik county of their superfluous “ rags.”
