How John Colter Escaped a Ter rible Death. 3X Travels Naked for Seven Days Pur sued by a Bloody and Relent less Foe and atliast Reaches a Place of Safety. What is known as Lewis and Clarke's expedition to explore the Missouri river took place in the year 1805. It was manned by Captain Merriwether Clarke, three sergeants and seven sol diers of the United States army, ac companied by twenty-six other per sons, among whom were a number of Frenchmen. Their adventures and discoveries are not of so much impor tance as the fact that John Colter and John Potts were members of the expe dition. These two men were either discharged from the command, or after the expedition had returned to it3 starting place, went back into the Indian country on their own hook. This point, as well as the exact loca tion of their adventures, appears to be clouded in doubt, although their en counter is fully authenticated. They were trapping beaver near the con fluence 6f the Madison river with the Jefferson fork. The Blackfeet Indians were in that region and one of them had been killed by Lewis. Aware of the bitterness of Indian hostility Col ter and Potts set their traps at night, drew them in each morning and lay concealed during the day. They were examining their traps early one morning, in a creek which they were ascending in a canoe, when they suddenly heard a great noise, resembling the trampling of animals. But they could not ascertain the fact, as the high, perpendicular banks on each side of the river impeded their view. Colter immediately pronounced it to be occasioned by Indians, and advised an instant retreat, but was accused of cowardice by Potts, who insisted the noise was occasioned by buffaloes, and they proceeded on. In a few minutes afterwards their doubts were removed by the appearance of about five or six hundred Indians on both sides of the creek, who beckoned them to come ashore. As retreat was now impossible, Colter turned the head of the canoe to the shore. At the moment of its touching an Indian seized the rifle belonging to Potts. But Colter, who was a remarkably 3trong man, immediately retook it and handed it to Potts, who remained in the canoe, and upon receiving it, pushed off into the river. He had scarcely quitted the shore when an arrow was shot at him, and he cried out: "Colter, lam wounded." Colter remonstrated with him on the folly of attempting to escape and urged him to come ashore. Instead of comply ing, he instantly leveled his rifle at an Indian, and shot him dead on the spot. This conduct, situated as he was, may appear to have been an act of madness but it was doubtless the ef fect of sudden but sound enough rea soning for if taken alive he must have expected to have been tortured to death, according to the Indian custom. And in this respect the Indians of this region excelled all others in the inge nuity they displayed in torturing their prisoners. He was instantly pierced with ar rows, so numerous that, to use the language of Colter, "he was made a riddle of." They now seized Colter, stripped him entirely naked and began to con sult on the manner in which he should be put to death. They were first in clined to set him up as a mark to shoot at but fhe chief interfered, and, seiz ing him by the shoulder, asked him if he could run fast Colter, who had been some time among the Kee Katsa, or Crow Indians, had, in a considera ble degree, acquired the Blackfoot language, and was also well acquainted with Indian customs. He knew that he had now to run for his life, with the dreadful odds of five or six hundred against him, and these armed Indians. He therefore cunningly replied that he was a very bad runner, although, in truth, he was considered by the hun ters as remarkably swift. The chief now commanded the party to remain stationary, and led Colter out to the prairie three or four hun dred yards and released him to save himself if he could. At that instant the war-whoop sounded in the ears of poor Colter, who, urged with the hope of preserving life, ran with a speed at which he himself was sur prised. He proceeded towards Jeffer son Fork, having to traverse a plain six miles in breadth, abounding with the prickly pear, on which he every instant was treading with his naked feet. He ran nearly half way across the plain before he ventured to look over his shoulder, when ha perceived ff^^L^V* JifffM #lfWn f^fflfisf that the Indians were very much scat tered and that he had gained ground to a considerable distance from the main body but one Indian, who carried a spear, was much before all the rest, and not more than a hundred yards from him. A faint gleam of hope now cheered the heart of Colter. He derived con fidence from the belief that escape was within the bounds of possibility. But the confidence was nearly fatal to him, for he exerted himself to such a degree that the blood gushed from his nostrils, and soon almost covered the fore part of his body. He had now arrived within a mile of the river, when he distinctly heard the appall ing sound of footsteps behind him, and every instant expected to feel the spear of his pursuer. He again turned his head and saw the savage not twenty yards behind him. Determined, if possible, to avoid the expected blow, he suddenly stopped, turned around and spread out his arms. The Indian, surprised at the suddenness of the action and perhaps at the bloody appearance of Colter, also attempted to stop, but, exhausted with running, he fell while attempting to throw his spear, which stuck in the ground and broke in his hand. Colter instantly snatched up the pointed part, with which he pinned the Indian to the earth, and then continued his flight. The foremost of the Indians, on ar riving at the place, stopped until oth ers came up to join them, and then gave a hideous yell. Every moment of this time was improved by Colter, who, although fainting and exhausted, succeeded in gaming the skirting of cottonwood trees on the borders of the fork, to which he ran and plunged into the river. Fortunately for him a lit tle below this place was an island, against the upper point of which a raft of drift timber had lodged. He dived under the raft, and after several efforts got his head above wawar, among the trunks of trees coveted over with smaller wood to the depth of se\ eral feet. Scarcely had he se cured himself when the Indians ar rived on the river, screeching and yelling, as Colter expressed it, like so many devils.*' They were frequently on the raft during che day and were seen through the chinks by Colter, who was con* gratulating himself on his escape, un til the idea arose that they might set the raft on fire. In horrible suspense he remained until night, when hear ing no more from the Indians, he dived from under the raft and swam instant ly down the river to a considerable distance, when he landed and traveled all night. Although happy in having escaped from the Indians, his situa tion was still dreadful. He was com pletely naked under a burning sun, the soles of his feet were filled with the thorns of the prickly pear he was hungry and had no means of killing game, although he saw abundance around him and was at a great dis tance from the nearest settlement. Al most any man but an American hunter would have despaired under such cir cumstances. The fortitude of Colter remained unshaken. After seven days of sor travel, during which he had no other sustenance than roots, he at length arrived at Lisa's Fort on the Big Horn branch of the Yellowstone river.N. Y. Graphic. TWO BALL DRESSES. One a Dream of Red Rosos, the Other a Vision In Tulle. Rich red roses, large roses and clus ters of little roses, with buds and foli age, are put on the very edge of the dress all round without any ruffle of tulle, in such manner that it looks aa if the wearer had been wandering in a rose garden, and had swept a quan tity of fallen flowers on to her trailing skirt. The dress is of apple-green silk, with a single vailing of brown tulle, which goes right over the roses. The skirt is quite simple and the low bodice very elaborate. It is of the green silk with the light tulle fulled on to it the neck has a rich piece of gold lace turned down all around it. Then there is an arrangement of rib bons which appears to me to savor of the miraculous. A broad dark green moire ribbon edged on each side with salmon color is drawn tightly around the figure it passes under each arm and comes to the neck of the bodice, both in front and behind. How this is drawn tight by the bodice being worn defies the 01 dinary intelligence, but so it is and the wearer looks as if tied into the dress, especially as another similar ribbon is knotted round the waist. On the shoulders are high puffed sleeves of the brown tulle, and above those, higher still, a row of up standing bows of the green and yellow ribbon. One more evening gown I must de scribe, whieh to me is glorious in color. The dress is all of a pure daffo dil-yellow silk, vailed with tulle oi the same shade. A full tulle ruffle goes all round the skirt, and on it lies a wreath of the lovliest velvet pansiea great rich pansies of every shade that grow in parsy petals, but with the heliotropes and violets predom inating. All the rest of the dress is the full yellow, except for the waisl ribbon, matched to the heliotrope tint in the pansies, and on to one long end of which hangs a little empire pockel decked with pansies, and for a niece o' tulle of the same heliotrope caughl by its middle under the rihbon band at the back of the waist, taken straigh up to each shoulder and from Inert allowed to fly loose like little wings.
