Baudstte, March 18.—The pio- neer missionary among the In- dians sometimes meets with ludi- crous adventures as well as dan- gerous ones, Sometimes they re both dangerous and - ludi- crous. Rev. J. Johnson, a mis- sionary who works amohg the Canadian Rainy river Indians, met with a thrilling adventure Thursday of this weeck. Mr. Johnson is an Indian himself, a graduate of Carlisle as well asa theological graduate: of Cam- bridge. He is a scholar and a gentleman of polish but has de- voted his life to the service of his less fortunate fellow red men. On Thursday he was called from this city to the mouth of Rainy river to officiate at the wedding of a dusky brave and his bride. When the people were ready for the ceremony, the bride and groom stood up for the ceremony. It then developed that there was no license. The clergyman expldined to Mr. Sky- You-Ho that he could not proceed with the ceremony without a license and as one could not be procured without a thirty miie the wedding would have to be postponed. The brave ob- jected and the bride wept, All had been indulging in fire water and grew vehement, but the clergyman was obdurate. He would not tie the knot.

Johnson bolted into a desterted shack and fastened the door. His pursurers attempted to batter down the door. He threatened them by saying -he would report them to their agents if they did not desist and also said he would shoot but they con- tinued their assaults. He was preparing for the worst when a party of loggers from a nearby camp arrived and escorted the preacher to safety. Yesterday the party who had made things warm for the preacher, appeared on the scene and apologized. They said they would give him a moose hide, mink skins and several other skins if he would torgive them but he was obdurate and the Indians will have to reckon with their agents The Conductor.
