LEWIS WEITZEL.
Ills Itemarkable Feat of Loading; Ills Uun
While Kooning.
Lewis Wcltzcl was tho Daniel Iloone
of Virginia a mau the story of whoso
exploits sounds to-day Ilka somo ex-
travagant romance At seventeen ho
had no equal among the settlers as a
marksman and was especially expert
in loading his rills whllo running.
When he was nineteen years old he
was suddenly set upon by a band of
about fort)- Indians. He sprang away
from them at full speed and four ot
the fleetest of them dropped thclr'guns
and started in pursuit He increased
his lead from a few feet to several
yards but after running about half a
mile ho became aware that the fore
most Indian had commenced gaining
m.-m him. fi.eurcr and nearer ho came
and Weltzel began to fear that he
would throw his tomahawk.
While running Weltzel had loaded
his gun. Now lie wheeled suddenly
and shot the Indian dead In his track.
Instantly the thrco other Indians gavo
a loud yell and sprang forward at full
speed. Tho white man's gun was
empty and he could do them no harm.
Weltzel slackened his pace a little
reloaded his gun and then resumed
his race. At the end ot another half-
mile the second Indian camo up. and
Weltzel turned to shoot To his dis-
gust ho found the follow close upon
his heels so close indeed that ho
seized the barrel ot tha gun with both
hands.
Tho struggle was briof. The savage
threw Weltzel to tho ground but at
that critical Instant Wcltzcl jerked the
piece from tho Indian's grasp placed
tho muzzle agalnrt his breast and
fired. Tho Indian groaned and fell
dead
Meanwhile the two others were hast-
ening up. Weltzel still running
charged his gun onco moro and at n
good opportunity faced about and
raised It to shoot Tha Indians dodged
behind trees. Weltzel resumed his
flight and his pursuers again took
after him. They ran thus for two or
three miles till Weltzel. thoroughly
exasperated as his biographer says
turned und fired so suddenly as to hit
ono of the Indluns bsforo hs could get
under cover.
As he fell tho other man shrieked
and Weltzel out ot breath as ho was
burst out laughing as he heard him say
"No catch dat manl Him gun always
loaded."
Tho chaso was over and in a few
hours Weitzel was at home recounting
his adventure outh a Companion.
