emigant train had been attacked and DESTROYED by the
Cheyenne Indians about eighty miles west Fort Riley

weeks since left Fort Leavcnworth with six companies
cavalry and two companies of infantry for the purpose
making upon the Cheycnnes. He divided his force
sending portion up the Arkansas under the COM
mand Of Major selgewck and leading the other himself
up the Platte 1t would appear that the Indians slipped
down between these two columns, and commenced muir
deIing and robbing in the rear. The Cheyennes are

rors and WILL doubtless, be joined by many young
Sioux braves with whom they closely connected
The attack ON the train very vigorous one The

NV YORK, June I9.--Judge Russell has decided in
the hdbeas corpus case that he has jurisdiction in the
matter of complaint against Mayor Wood which the
recorder Issued warrant for his arrest and has directed
the mayors discharge. AT first lac made the order
discharge conditional to take effect Immediately unless
the district attorney should elect to proceed at with
the mayor examination before him, Judge Russell.
The district attorney denied Russell right thus take
the out of the recorder jurisdiction and refused to
become party TO the proceeding whereupon order
for Woods absolute discharge entered just before
this final decision, Woods counsel asked and obtained
another writ Of habs corpus the argument Of which the
judge said he would adjourn for a week
The object of this proceeding to prevent the
mayors being carried before the recorder the warrants
served on Tuesday Wood certainly has rather outinan
nged his enemies, and likely to keep opt Of their
clutches until the courts shall have decided all the qucs
lions pending in relation to the legality Of the police
law and kindred acts 3
