Buchtel & Cardwell’s Daguerrean and Photograph rooms in Shelby’s brick building on First street, are well worthy a visit.  We there observed among others, the photographs of the Indian chiefs and Father De Smet, who visited our city last week.  One of these chiefs is said to have had at a certain time a hand to hand encounter with eight Indians, who jointly sought to take his life.  He killed seven of them, and the other made his escape from him.
