HELMROLITA 1 TAKE SO OTHER. nnQnet 8 ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 26 1871 (For the Reglater.) A iSIJAINER IN K ANSAS =I " Whatoier could induce Maud Radcliffe to decide on such an unheard of excursion? It is positively ridiculous." Charley Fenton, with hie feet elevated to a level with his head, looked as thoroughly dis gusted as possible, while his companion, the proprietor of the handsome bachelor apart ment they occupied, seemed to enjoy his dis comfiture "After all, my dear Fenton, she might as well be in Kansas as in New York for all the benefit you or I derive from her charming resence." "Perhaps Silo might, but nobody knows. better than you do how she can brighten up the dullest company ; our set will be wretch. edly stupid without her. I have half a mind to ignore Saratoga and Newport and bury myself In the country somewhere." "Or go to Kansas," maliciously put in Roy Malvern, throwing away a partially consumed cigar. "By the way isn't it almost time for the club 4" "More then time," rising and taking down a light overcoat, "at least she hasn't had the satisfaction ofrefusing me yet, which is HIM e than most other people Can say." As Roy Malvern happened to come under the category of Miss Radcliffe's rejected suit ors he pretended to be looking fur a missing glove and wisely ignored his friend's insinua tion. Meanwhile Maniljtadelille herself was fold ing and packing very busily in her cosy little dressing-room, never giving it thought to the vacancy her romantic idea would occasion in her fashionable orbit. " Suppose I should get home sick," she so. IlloquiT.ed as she slowly folded a Lomely•look ing calico dress-of sober brown, "but I won't for I am bored to death with everything and everybody here—everybody I mean except dear Nell;' I verily believe she is the only person that cares for me. and it Is only right that I should accompany her to her future home." "Dear Nell" was Maud's cousin and only relative, who being poor and having nmrried a young pioneer was bravely preparing to share tits fortunes in the far west, where he had cleared a few acres and erected a cottage. Half in jest, half in earnest,Nellie Fairfax had asked her beautiful cousin to go with her, and Maud, knowing that Richard Fairfax would necessarily be away from his fair young wife a great deal during the first few months and perhaps feeling In her own heart a desire to be near the only relative she possessed, consent ed ; and thus it was that on this particular April evening she was packing her trunk with good plain clothing such as she would need for a summer's sojourn on the frontier. People thought her Insane when they heard of her odd whim, to waste one of her best summers "on the desert air;" she wastwenty two at the very least, they argued, and could not expect to remain beautiful forever. Was It possible that Maud Radcliffe, after all her brilliant conquests, could be the victim of un requited love to turn her back so resolutely on society ? Of course not ; the idea was simply absurd. There was not a man in all her cir cle, whom one encouraging glance would not have brought to her feet, but Maud was not in,the habit of bestowing encouraging glances Indiscriminately, and despised a coquette from the bottom of her generous heart. She was very beautiful, this imdulsive favorite of for tune. Tall, fair and graceful, with bright golden hair crowning her proudly poised head like a diadem and wonderful brown eyes that could flash with mischief or soften with tendernesc They called her cold and heart less, but she was not quite that, though she had her faults, as what motherless girl has not ? She had been deceived by those in whom she believed most and had grown very distrustful and chary of her confidence. Ac customed for so many years to decide for her. self she experienced no regret when she stood at last, her task completed, before the glass combing out the heavy Coils of her beautiful hair. Her course was laid out plainly. She would travel alone to the little village, twenty miles distant, where lived farmer Walton the father of the newly-made Airs. Fairfax, from there in company with the latter and her hus band she would take passage for Fort Leaven worth, for it was only Fort Leavenworth lien; front the latter place they would pro iceed to their new home as best they could, for '.nroads there were none, and even convey. cs of any kind were scarce. She would , remain with them all summer and return in the autumn, Mr. Fairfax accompanying her E as far as St. Louis. Maud fell asleep that night, while still speculating on the safety and propriety of going on buffalo hunts and other western amusements. Two months had passed—months of nov,l and exciting interest to Miss Radcliffe. It was a delightful June evening. The summer wind was straying lazily in at the open window where Maud and Nellie were seized, busy wit h household sewing, for Maud was no idle com panion merely; but a valuable assistant also to the inexperienced young housekeeper, and it was wonderful how her deft fingers created neatness and order everywhere. • "One lives in an atmosphere of perpetual fragrance here," said Maud, her eyes wander ing over the sea of flowers stretching to the westward front the rear of the cottage, their breath filling the pleasant little room like in cense. "Yes, the world is most beautiful where, man has touched it least, and we have been very Happy here, have we not V "I have never known purer enjoyment," answered Maud warmly; we are so utterly in dependent here too, no Mrs. Grundy to criticize us and our deem," with a humorous glance at her patched dress, and roomy morocco boots, "imagine me entertaining Capt. Atherton or that fastidious Roy Malvern in this costume. Oh, my dear Nell, I do wish they could have the mortification of seeing me." "You are handsomer than ever in spite of your dress, I never saw a finer complexion even on you," said Nellie with a glance of girlish admiration. "Now you hate got into your habit of flat tering me, and to punish you I shall not sew another stitch for you to-day. There."' Maud folding her work laughingly, laid it on the rude little stand, and passing through a larger room left the house by the front door for n little stroll. There was a clump of trees and bushes a few rods from the house through which a merry streiimlet danced and sparkled, and thither she wended her way to sit for awhile, on n rude bench Mr. Fairfax had put up for Nellie and Herself under a line old live oak. She walked along leisurely playing with small golden cross, glittering with minute diamonds and hung by a slender chain around her neck. It was her father's last gift and she wore it constantly. She had gained the little grove before she looked up ; as she did so there was a slight movement in the bushes, and before she luid time to Wonder at the un usual occurrence, she found herself face to face with a gigantic Indian. Maud did not scream, she was too frightened to do any thing but gaze with dilated eyes at the (Etienne apparition. . " Ugh purty squaw," ejaculated the'savage with a (rightful Attempt at a smile. "And you. arc a bravo Indian," answered Maud sweetly, with rt:vngue hope of propitlat; ing the unexpected intruder The Indian nodded his head approvingly and pointed to a scalp suspended from his belt. "131 g Sioux brave, ma kill, he gruntel." " Yes you kill only strong men," she said turning pale in spite of herself, you would not hurt a helpless woman. The Indian shook his head ; evidently he did not understand her, and Maud was striv ing desperately to think of some way of escape, when be advanced and laid his heavy hand on her shoulder ; her chain had attracted his attention, he fingered it curiously. She took it off quickly, and giving it to him, said as quietly as she could. " You may have that if you like it ; now I must go home." Then she turned and walked steadily towards the house, though her heart stood still and she expected every moment to find herself in the grasp of the savage. She gained the house at last, and bolting the door behind her sank down on the floor, pale as death and utterly unable to give a word of explanation to her frightened cousin. Richard Fairfax who had gone to the nearest trading post, ten miles distant, returning a few minutes later, found her still cowering on the floor and his little wife standing helplessly over her weep ing and terrified. " Why Maud, Nellie, you didn't let that skulking coward of an Indian frighten you so ? I have just ordered him off; if I had known he had been hifre I should have done more." "An Indian ! oh Richard I" Nellie flew into the shelter of her husband's 'arms liko a verit able little coward. Ile kissed the frightened face soothingly and placing her in the nearest seat Went to the assistance of her cousin, hut that young lady bad arisen and was making a desperate attempt to regain her equanimity. " Ile did look horrible, indeed he did, cousin Richard," she said with a little shiver. " I have no doubt of it, he never was-con sidered handsome, but he will run at the mere mention of a white man's name, unless he is hacked by some of his followers." " You know him then ?" questioned Nellie. " What is his name ? Or hasn't Ile got any ?" " Oil yes, a very fine one, Red Feather. White Feather would be more appropriate." Maud did not mention the loss of her chain, ter she was heartily ashamed of herselfby this time, and did not care to dwell longer on the subject. " By the way, my love, could you let me have my supper now, you have had yours no doubt," suggested Richard, turning with his blandest manner to his wife, whO sprang up at once with an exclamation at her forgetfulness. And thus they drifted back again into the cur"- rent of their quiet life, and Red Feather was almost forgotten in a few dayS. Meanwhile the pioneer's small family was not utterly isolate. It is true there were no near neighbors. None In fact within Bitten miles with the exception of a small settlement of three or four families from New England, two miles distant ; but these latter, who had known Mr. Fairfax ever since his first advent among them years ago were not backward in calling upon his young wife when they learned of her arrival. They had all called during the first few weeks, and Maud bad accompanied her cousin on several visits to the settlement since. The settlers were nice, plain, sensible people, newly-married, with the exception of one family, that of Mr. Osborn, which consisted of himself, his wife, a merry roly-poly little body, two handsome vigorous sons, who might have been any age between twenty and thirty, and an only daughter, the pet of the house hold. A week had passed since Maud's first inter view with aboriginal America, when one bright sunny - morning she and Nellie were honored with a visitor from the settlement, nu less a personage than Will Osborn, who had ridden over to see bow they all were, and to invite Maud to accompany his sister Susan, his brother and himself on a horseback excur sion. Maud who was an expert equestrienne, felt her face flush with pleasure at the prospect of a real country rifle, and she assured Mr. Osborn that it Would afford her intense grat ification to accompany them. " Your horses arc gentle, I hope," Mrs. Fairfax remarked a little dubiously. "Oh ! quite gentle I assure you, or we would not trust them with such a precious freight" replied the young farmer gallantly, while Maud laughed and observed rather triumphantly that she would ride their wick edest horse if they wished it. " We are going to Brill's woods, about six miles from our place ; Charley was over there yesterday, and says there are mere berries there than we four can pick in a day, let alone eating." "Oh delightful ! I can go, can't I, Nellie ?" "Certainly if you wish, lila is if Mr. Os born promises to bring you back to me safe ly." "As it is not likely that Miss Radcliffe will see any escort whom she would prefer to the I think I may promise that." " You arc a true Yankee for audacity, Mr. Osborn," said Maud slinking her head with humorous gravity. I hope Mr. Fairfax will be at home to morrow, so that you will not be left alone," said the young man as he nroso to go. "If not we will postpone our trip till some other day." "He is not going away for several days after this one,he said this morning," answered " Then we shall be here at six sharp, Miss Radcliffe, you need not provide any lunch as Susie will see to that,she said. Good morn ing, ladies." . " Good morning,many thanks for your kind ness and give my love to Susie," said Maud as the young man swung himself gracefully into his sadddle ; The next instant he was gallop ing over the prairie at his usual breakneck speed. The next morning dawned as cloudlessly as the little party could have desired and when Susie Osborn and her brothers drew up in front of Richard's cottage they found Maud quite ready and waiting for them. Charley leaped from his horse, assisted her to mount, and, with many injunctions from Nellie to guard against possible and impossible dangers, they galloped off, Maud astonishing her com panions by the ease with which she controlled her spirited horse. It was still early when they reached the large tract of timber and brush wood known as Brall's woods. Baying tethered their horses near a small stream of water, and hidden their lunch-basket among the thick bushes growing along the margin further up, the . party repaired to a sunny slope along the southern side of the woods where the berries grew in lavish abundance. An hohr had passed and all were busily filling their baskets, when Maud looking up, saw that she had become separated from tier com panions. However the berries being very plentiful where she was, she decided to fill her basket before she went around the clump of bushes where she knew she should find her companions. She had resumed her occupation after a brief pause, when some one approach ing from behind tied a cloth firmly over her mouth. At first Mand was not frightened, supposing one of her friends meant to sur prise her, but a shudder Of convulsive terror passed over her when her eyes met those of Red Feather. With the sense of her utter helplessness the poor girl swooned away, and when she recovered her consciousness she was many miles away from Brant woods,.tied be 7 hind her captor nsf n powerful horse that, wtia carrying them westward with frightful rapid ity. Entreaties would be useless, she know, ec , she remained perfectly quiet, only turning her head carefully to see whet her her friends were pursuing them, but a 11111 or rather a wave of land, wide:, she remembered having seen to the westward of the woods, was already far behind them and hiding them from the eyes of her friends, even if they had dis covered her absence. Maud felt a deadly faintness stealing over her, and then she de termined to speak, hoping to prevail on the savage to free her. " Red Feather 1" Re started on hearing his name and looked around. " Where are you taking me ?" " Wigwam," was the laconic reply. "I do not want to go," elle said, " If you will take ma back I will give you money, gold, anything you wish." The Indian did not seem to be tempted by the offer, ho said doggedly, "Red Feather wants the pale face squaw." "Take me back, only once, I will go with you when I have seen my friends, my money and jewelry," said Maud desperately. " The pale face loves the Red Feather," he said pointing with evident pride to the chain which she had given him in her terror and which he still wore around his neck. "She will be happy." Maud said no more. They might meet some one who would release her, but it was not probable, scarcely even possible ; if ehe could only die, she thought closing her eyes with a shudder. At noon they halted in a small tract of timber, and the savage offered Maud some venison which ho took from a bag he carried, and of which he himself partook heartily, but she could not eat, and after a very short stay, not longer then twenty minutes, they started again, the Indian evidently fearing pursuit. All through the hours of that long bright afternoon they rode on, and Maud, too faint and disheartened to speak, sat in a kind of a stupor behind her captor, till a little before sunset, when they halted at length under a fine large tree in a deep gorge on both sides of which dark woods frowned down upon them. It was a weird gloomy place, and the screeches of the night-birds in the dark trees above them did not lessen the gloom. The Indian lifted Maud from the horse and she sank down on the green grass wearily, while he secured his tired horse to a stake fir the ground. Suddenly there was a slight stir in the woods above them and with a cry of alarm' and defiance the savage seized his victim; swung her on to the horse and was unfasten ing the animal when a flash, a keen report, and n groan from the Indian told Maud that she was free again. All her weariness was gone in a moment, sue sprang witn a cry of relief from the horse and hastened with ex tended hands towards the woods from whence her deliverance had come so unexpectedly. A tall broad-shouldered man in the rude dress of a western hunter stepped out of the shadow, a man with keen steel-gray eyes and heavy black whiskers concealing the lower part of his face. He advanced but made no motion to take the hands extended as if to claim his protection. As for Maud a quick flush had spread over her pale face, and a surprised half incredulous look came into her eyes for a mo ment, then she cried out : "Mr. Wingate I" "The seine, at your service, Miss Rad cliffe," answered the stranger with a slight, graceful inclination of the head. "We seem fated to meet under disagreeable circumstan ces." "Ice, this is the second time you have saved my life and I would thank you, only I cannot—l cannot." • Her voice died in a whisper and her face grew deadly pale again. The hunter advanced quickly, placed her carefully on the grass at We foot of the tree, and then turned his at tention to the wounded Indian who was in the act of mounting his horse, though, evi dently suffering terribly from a wound in his arm. " Stop, Red Feather," he commanded In a deep stern voice, laying his hand on the bri die. ".This horse is mine till to-morrow; you can walk home or IM on the ground till morn ing; this is the third time I have spared your life and I shall not do it again I warn you. Dare to come within range of my rifle once more. This last offence is the worst yet." The savage skulked off, disappearing among the trees to the westward, and then John Wingate turned again to the young lady with something very like dismay in his handsome face. Maud had arisen and approached the poor jaded animal that had carried her all those weary miles; she was stroking its glossy neck with that strange abstraction which sometimes follows a heavy strain on the mind and body. She turned as her deliverer ap proached and noticing his embarassed look, said demurely. " What are you going to do with me, Mr. Wingate 2" " If you would accompany me to my cabin you might spend the night comfortably, I hope." "Your cabin ? Do you live here, and will your wife-2" John Wingate colored' to the roots of his hair and hastened to explain " You mistake, Miss Radcliffe, I am not so fortunate—that is I have only a kind of den • all by myself, like a bear for instance." "Oh I excuse me. I will go and see it at any rate, but if I could only go home to-night. My cousins will be so uneasy." "Your cousins ? You cannot mean that you are staying in these wilds. Excuse mo If I am impertinent, but I assure you I never was so surprised in all my life as when I saw you this evening." Maud told her story briefly and then, as the sun had set, and no time was to be lost, the hunter proposed that she, should accompany him to his cabin, partake of such refreshments as he could offer her and then rest for a few hours before they started for the settlement which lie had visited before. " The moon rises at ten and if we start then we may reach the settlement before daylight." "Do you think it likely that wu shall be pursued V inquired Maud anxiously. " Yes, if that reprobate succeeds in reaching the Indian village ten miles distant, which however is doubtful for I have wounded him pretty severely, and have taken the precautidn to deprive him of his horse ; at least we are safe for the next few hours, ho is too much of a coward to attack me single-handed, even if he were not disabled. And shall we go to my cabin ?" Maud arose at once and they proceeded up the gorge, the hunter leading Red Feather's horse who seemed rather pleased at his change of masters. They had not gone more than a quarter of a mile when they came to a place where the bank was steep and jetting out. Under the projection nestled a small, strongly built log-cabin with a. few windows and a heavy oaken door. Mr. Wingate pushed open the latter, removed his broad-brimmed hat, displaying as he did so, a fine broad fore head, shaded by soft heavy masses of black hair, and said with a humorous assumption of dignity, "Walk In, Miss Radcliffe, and let me wel come you to the hospitalities of this mansion." Maud smiled as she steliped over the thres hold Into the cabin. What a queer place it was I There were the skins of wild beasts, hunting implements, books, papers, a few fine crayon sketches, a flute and other Incongruous objects all tumbled together In the large cheer ful-looking room. "Thank you," she said warmly, " and let me compliment you on having a.very hospita ble den Indeed." "You are the first woman that has ever en tered it, and will, I hope, pardon any want of taste in the arrangement of the furniture." Maud assured him that she would and went on' chatting in her pleasant sparkling way, while the hunter prepared supper, looking sedulously out of the window all the while, fearing that he might not care to be watched during the exercise of his culinary powers. It was a very palatable meal and Maud par took of it heartlly,much to her host's satisfac- ' tion. In the meantime they laid their plans for the homeward journey. Maud was to re fresh herself by two hours sleep, if sleep was possible after the excitement of the day, while the hunter prepared himself and his horse for the nocturnal Journey. The horse was strong and fleet, he assured Maud, and could easily carry them both to the settlement. "If Red Feather's horse were fresh one of us could ride him and we might make the dis tance in much less time, but as it is Gipsy will take us both," said Mr. Wingate as they arose from the table, "and now take what rest you can, while I see after the horses," he added throwingseveralthickheavy skins on a lounge at the further end of the room. " Let me go with you," cried Maud, terri fied at the thought of remaining alone, "if ho should return and carry me off while you are gone." "There Is not the slightest danger ; Red Feather knows that he had better not attempt to enter my quarters; however Pluto shall take care of you in my absence," saying which the hunter opened the door and gave a low peculiar whistle. A huge magnificent mastiff bounded into the room at the signal ; he gave an Inquiring look at his master's un. usual visitor, evidently at a loss whether to regard heras a friend or foe. Maud approached him gently, stroked his head, and made friends with him at once. Then lying down on the lounge, at the hunter's suggestion she held out her hand toward the animal, who came up at once with a quick perception of what was expected of him. " Lie down, Pluto, and watch the door," said his master. The faithful animal dropped down before the lounge, fixing his eyes on the door. "Now you are safe; I shall close the shut ters before going out and Pluto will kill any one who attempts to set foot into this room before my return." When Mr. Wingate returned some time later, he was gratified to find that his fair guest, worn out by the excitement of theday, was In a deep tranquil sleep. Noiselessly he removed the remnants , of their supper and fed Pluto,wbo was never forgotten ; this done he took up a paper and read till a glance at his watch told him that It was almost time to start. Ile arose, gave a whispered injunction to his dog, who immediately resumed his former position, and then saddled his horse and led him to the door. Ile re-entered rather noisily hoping to wake the sleeper, but she slept on undisturbed; he neared the lounge to wake her, but stood still involun tarily at the beautiful picture site made, with one white hand thrown above her head and. the other hanging down, the round slender fingers just, touching Pluto's head. John Wingate folded his arms and stood gazing at her, gazing at the pure pale face with its patrician features, its delicate; arched eye brows and long silken lashes, resting on the 'minded cheeks. How wall ho rompmbrred every line of the perfect face. Ile studied It closely, once before; five years ago ho had looked upon it. Could it be that this was Maud Radcliffe, lying there in his house for the first time 1' and the last he added mentally with a sharp pain at his heart. " She has not changed except to grow more matchlessly beautiful," he half whispered., "Oh If 1 could only kiss her once I but I dare not, it would seem like sacrilege to touch even her hand when she trusts mo so." He approached and called her. She started up with a stupid bewildered look in her eyes, and a terrified exclamation on her lips. "It is time to start if you wish to go away to-night." "Oh, I had forgotten where I was. Flow sweetly I nave slept yes we must goat once," tying on her hat and following her deliverer to the door. Gipsey, a powerful brown horse, his mas ter's pride and favorite, lowered his splendid head and gave a joyous whinny at their 'ap pearance. " What a magnificent creature I Gipsy,dear Gipsy," exclaimed Maud with involuntary enthusiasm. "Yes ho is as good a horse as any I have ever seen and I would not part with him for all the horses in Kansas. Allow mo to assist you to mount, Miss Radcliffe." He swung her lightly on to a seat he had constructed for her in front of him, then he himself leaped into the saddle, gave Gipsey an encouraging pat, which caused her to start off at a smooth even pace that gave Maud the Impression of flying rather than .riding. " I thought you would prefer sitting In front of me, as that is the safest scat Incase of pursuit," said the hunter when they were fairly on ther way. "Oh yes," she answered quickly with a tie shiver " I feel safer here." TO BE CONTINUED RUNNING THE GAUNTLET. A Fiendish Act and Speedy Putsi.hrnant—llalf a Mita of Horsenshippinfs. New Moony!.lLl Correspondence Altoona Tr (buns.] We have generally a very quiet, neaceable, orderly town, and not much to interest the outside world. However, on Wednesday last, April Gth, there was an act perpetrated that was out of the usual order of things, and created for the time considerable fe'eling. The act and what subsequently transpired, may be summed up as follows: On that day a man by the name of Eagan came to town, and after indulging in fiery liquid to such an extent that be became beastly intoxicated, he endeavored, about three o'clock in the afternoon, to coax a lit: tie boy named Johnny Sheaffer, a son•of one of our most respectable and worthy citizens, Mr. Henry Sheaffer, to accompany him to Klinepeter's woods, a short distance north of our borough, promising him money if be would do so. He was subsequently seen by William Darling, who was plowing in a field in close proximity, carrying the little fellow into the woods. When they got there ho ripped the clothing off the child and lay down on him, Injuring him in the abdomen and also his limbs, and they ordered him to go home, which privilege the little fellow was only too anxious to take advantage of. When be reached his horns his mother asked him how he got his clothes torn In that manner, and was about to correct him, when he replied that a man had taken him up to the woods and tore them off him, ills father then vis ited the woods, taking the child with him to guide htna to the,Rot, if possible, where the inhuman conduct of the brutal wretch had been perpetrated. Upon arriving at the woods, he discovered Eagan lying on the ground, apparently sleeping. Without die. turbing hint, Mr. Shearer returned to town and made }Mown the circumstances to two men who volunteered their assistance for the ROBERT TREDELL, Viain anti Jrattcp lob 'printer, No. ON HAMILTON BTREET, ALLRA TOWN, PA. • ELEGANT PRINTING • NEW DESIGNS LATENT STYLES Stamped Cheeks, Cards.

Upois their return to the woods they folind him still lying in the same position and proceeded to arrest him. He showed fight, but they overpowered him, tied his hands behind his back and brought him to town. He was given a hearing before Esquire Clouser, who issued a commitment and he was lodged in jail. When he was ar rested he had a large Bowie knife lying under his right band, which was taken from him. The victim of Egan's brutal conduct, little Johnnie Sheaffer, is only five years old, and had an apron, or bib, that covered him nearly to the feet, and it is supposed that the scoun drel thought ho was taking a littlo girl with him, and no doubt under the circumstances, had such beau the case, would have attempted the ravishment of her person, and with his huge knife at band might have killed her. Our people were considerably exercised that evening and the following day as to what ought to ho done with the wretch, and with one accord expressed the opinion that he should and would be well cowhided. Mr. Blicaffer did not desire to experience the trou ble of going to court with the scoundrel about the matter and said ho might run. As he was only committed for twenty-four hours, the Jailer discharged him on Thursday even- lug, just after the moon, which was full the previous evening, had risen, and then follow- ed a scene the like of which had never been witnessed in the history of our 'town. Some twenty-five boys, young men, and some old ones too, had prepared wagon whips and cow hides and stationed themselves along Carlisle street the line reaching a considerable did lance, extending to the " turn." When Egan was let out of jail, and viewed the surround ings, he did not appear to like the style affairs had assumed, as a number of persons bad congregated in the jail alley to witness the sport. lie begged to be permitted to remain in jail the remainder of the night, but the keeper of the prison refused to accommodate him with lodging, and told him that ho had to "get up and git." Eagan then started out McClure street to Carlisle street, turning down the latter, the crowd following and increasing in numbers and excitement as it went along. When he reached the residence of Jesse Clou ser lie again sued for admittance and to be al lowed the privilege of remaining over night, but Mr. C. also turned a deaf ear to his entrea ties, and the crowd who had the matter iu charge again got him on the street, and as soon as lie reached the photograph gallery, on Carlisle street, the scene opened and the play began. The first man stationed along the line, bounded out at him, firing a pistol in the air near his head, to frighten him, and at the same time the whips and cowhides were brought to bear upon him. Then commenced a race for life. Egan made good time, start ing away at the rate of "'two-forty," but our athlete boys were equal to the occasion, keep ing close up to Mm, and every lump ho made ho received from three to a half dozen cuts as were etas, and as others fell ih line that were stationed along the route, it became double that number of cute to the jump. The chase was continued as far as Bornett's Mill, one half mile below town, the cow-hiding becom ing Severer all the time, while the stentorian voice of the guilty wretch wail continually ut tering the exclamation of oh, oh I My God My God I Murder I Murder ! The boys would ask him as they plied their whips and cow hides with terrible rapidity, " Will you ever steal a little boy again I." and the reply inva riably was " No, no." The constant cracking of so many wagon whips sounded like the bursting of torpedoes, and had Ilnot known th.. o whn hart eltnron of thra stfrol, would have been forced to the conclusion that the inhabitants of the Infernal regions had risen in their might to properly punish a vil lainous scoundrel. When the crowd neared the residence of Mr. D. Clouser, the wife of that gentleman 'Veiled out terribly frightened and crying murder, murder when her hus band, who "knew how it was himself," re quested her to retire indoors, and added at the same time, " What do you women know about war !" The boys told him, as they gave him the final lashes, that if they ever caught him in Bloomfield again they would hang him but I think Mr. Egan's , recollections of this place are of such a nature that nothing could induce him to pay us another visit. While I am opposed to Lynch law, and think every man entitled to a fair trial by a jury of his countrymen, I think Egan richly and justly deserved all he got. lie is said to be a man of bad character, was a soldier in the rebel army during the rebellion, and has his present home with a woman of bad repute, in a cabin near Sterrett's Gap, this county. It is gener ally supposed that he is the same man who abused the person of Michael Miller's little daughter, near our town last fall, an account of which was published at the time. He should have been kept In prison and the little girl brought to town to see if she would recog nize him, and had such been the case, he would have been visited with severer punish ment than was meted out to him by the boys on Thursday night.
