The Murderers Of Col. Stem.

The murderers OF Col Stem were two Eicka-
poo men accompanied by a boy. They belong To
tribe of kickapoos living near Fort Arbuckle
They had become indebted To a half breed trader
Black Beaver. and it is supposed had gone out on
a stealing expedition. to procure means to dis
charge their debt. The circumstance of their de-
lection is as follows:
The chief OF their tribe having heard that Stem
and Seppleman Were murdered, and that some
suspicion attached to the Kickdpoos Instituted iu-
quirles, from which he found that these two and
the boy Were the only missing ones of the tribe
at the time the murder was committed The
boy was Immediately examined. and made full
confession of all particulars connected with the
murder. His statement is. that the two men and
himself came upon Stem aud Seppleman ~ the
evening, and being well known TO the former they
stopped, shook hands, and had some conversation
They asked Col. 5. for ammunition and
were told that he had none. not even load for
his gun (which was the easel They then left
and being satisfied that they were delenceess de-
termined 10 intercept them again and kill them
The boy held the horses at short distance from
the road, whilst the two men proceeded to execute
the dlabolical deed. He plainly saw the whole
affair. On meeting the Indians, Stem stopped.
ailghted from his carriage. met one of them. and
perhaps shook hands with him The boy saw the
Indian strike him blow, which ielled him TO The
earth, killing him instantly Seeing Stem fall.
Seppieman attempted TO jump from the carriage.
aud IN the act OF doing was struck by the other
Indian with his gun barrel. fracturing his skull
There are other details of this atrocious murder
which We do not now remember
The chief of the Kickapoos. so soon as this
statement of the boy was made had the murder
ers arrested and put in confinement and sent in
formation 10 that effect 70 the commanding officer
at Belknap, or TO Lieut.. Tree WIN was in pursuit
OF the murderers. we are not certain WHICH
Lieut. Tree, with squadron of dragons. pro-
ceedet to the village and found one of The muir
derers stlll m confinement, the other having es-
capped. The chiei had the one m custody execut-
ed IN the presence of Lieut. Tree and saveassur-
ances that he would use every effort 10 arrest ihe
fugitive, and visit similar punishment upon his
head.
This chief deserves much credit for the energy
fairness and decision with which he has acted IN
this matter.
The authority upon which the foregoing state
ments are made IS authentic and may he relied
| upon, ..- Dallas Herald.

How BRITAIN REGARDS CUBx.-In the course
OF late debate Ia British parliament on the topic
OF the United States and Cuba. based upon ibe
Biack Harior affair, Mr.. Balie made this re !
mark:
Most assurediy. unless she SPAIN fulfilled her
engagements with us. and took care that Cuba
should no longer be the grand, and. indeed. sole
seat ei the slave trade, which she had undertaken
to suppress. she could not fairly complainV Eng
tana too& 40 measures 10 prerent Cuba from filling
into he hands of Tie .4niericons.''
Mr.. Golden took up the defence of his col
league, and made the following emphatic declara-
ton:
II without saying one woId about the expeden-
cy of giving Cuba to the United States or assist
ing that country TO take possession of the island
be thought it wond be greatly for the interests of
humanity if the United States, or any other power
that would altogether discountenance the slave
trade, should possess it. Cheers
Sir John Graham expressed the same tone Of
sentiments: They all show that Spain will rely
upon weak reed, in her Cuban troubles, if she
