Horrible Tragedy-one White Man and -Four In
dams Killed

We are panied to announce the murder
of man by the name of Ezra Hart, who
was found dead on Monday morning last
in his house. about two miles from this
place. 1t appears Hart had two men iiv,
ing with him. by the names Of Sexton and
Tromen. They were living in the same
house, neither Of them being men of fam
lilies. Sexton, on Sunday evening, Dor
rowed pistol from gentleman living
short distance from Harris, for the purpose
(as he sadly to shoot some Indians. on
Monday morning the gentleman from
whom Sexton had borrowed the pistol, re-
ceived note, stating that Hart had been
murdered, and that suspicion was aroused
against him and that he was going to leave
the country.
A Coroner's Jury was Immediately
summoned, and after lengthy investi-
CATION of the facts which they gathered
from the witnesses before them, rendered
their verdict that Ezra Hart came to his
death by the hands of Vromen and Sex.
ton. These men have left the country
and are now fugitives from JUSTICE.
On Wednesday an Otoe Indian, by the
name of Pa,oaecocha, brought the news
that four Pottawatomie Indians were
found dead in their lodge, not more than
two miles below Harris, on the river. AS
soon as this news was received, several OF
our citizens Immediately started for the
place designated by the Indian. Upon
arriving at the spot, they found the news
of the Indian to be correct-for there lay
the bodies of four Indians, bearing every
/ evidence of having been horribly muir
dered. 1t is generally supposed that the
two men who murdered Hart are the per-
petrators in this instance, doing so in order
to obtain possession of the ponies OF the
Indians, to make sure their escape.
The cause of all these horrible murders
vet remains a mystery. There has beer
no effort made yet TO arrest these horrible
desperadoes and murderers in order TO
bring them to justice. No time should
be lost in arresting these men, and deal
ont to them the rigor of the law, which
they so richly deserve.
P.S. Since writing the above, We have
learned that Vromen was heard to say that
he intended to murder and rob this win
ter for q ving."-Pdimsto Kdisan.

A gentleman from Leavenworth, who
has recently taken trip into Southern
Kansas, writes to the Herald, from Green
wood county, as follows;
The country over which / passed is
beautiful beyound description, and is CO.
pable of sustaining dense population
1t is true, timber in many places is scarce,
but in few years, if the fires are kept out
o. the prairies, there will be an abundance
of timber. Crops are fine in this region.
The soil is rich, and only needs to he
tickled with the pillow to bring forth nm
abnndan. harvest.
West Of this Eureka on Fall river, Ell
dorado on the Walnut and Whitewater
CITY on the Whitewater river. This Is
the last settlement west OF the Arkansas
river. Four of these towns are situated
on the fifth standard parallel, and bid fair
to become flourishing places. Indeed, all
the towns have named, are in pros
perons condition. If the counties are di-
yided. the lines should run six or eight
miles east of the present lines, 80 as 70
place the county seats on the river, ana IN
the centers Of the counties. This would
meet the appreciation and the wishes OF
the great mass of the people. hope the
committee on counties in our next Legs
lature will bear this in mind, and carry
out the wishes and interests Of the people
in these DISTINGUISHED counties.
The southern portion Of Kansas is rap
idly filling up with an industrious and en-
ergetic class of people. They are fast
converting these hitherto wild and onpro.
ductive lands into good farms, and would
make still greater Improvements but for
the New York Indians holding large
body of the most valuable portion OF
southern Kansas. They are an inconsid-
cradle band, numbering only thirty souls.
They are the remnants Of the New York
Indian tribes and yet they bold about
two million Of acres, which lie in this
portion of Kansas, along and on the Neo-
sho river. These lands must remain un-
productive and unimproved, SO long as the
Indians own them.

@ The very neat and commodious
church building viii he ready for occupa-
ton by the 9th inst. The, for Kansas,
thickly settled country around Junction,
and the intelligent character of the citi-
zens Of both town and county, demands
that some action by the religious bodies
of the States, having this matter in charge,
should be taken to supply the present de-
fciency existing in respect to q permanent
preacher. For such to be effective, he
should be intelligent as well as pious.-
Great .piety and great ignorance win never
command the attention Of such an audi
ence as can be assembled in this church.
The people desire an instructor; one who
can elucidate the scriptures free from doc
trinal prejudices. We hope this hastily
written notice will attract the attention Of
those who usually take charge Of ouI
spiritual welfare.-Jmetion Sentinel,

Time has been when your despoilers

Time has been when each low murmur

When each struggle fixed ye 1rmer

Ye were then the bond and yassal,

Thus ye suffered, still unkrowing-

Aside from all contingencies, that every
practical man knows by sad experience,
will greatly swell the grand total.
What is the conclusion to which we
must come, in view of these facts In
evitably this:
That country, almost in a'state of ma
ture, the trade of which can support the
immense expenses of this most expensive
means of transportation, when developed,
by railroad facilities such as proposed
above, must yield an aggregate of COM
merce to be coveted by the first cities in
the world.
Add to this aggregate all the trade of
our own rich Territory and other outside
localities that will be thrown upon this
great line of improvement, and the i'm
portance to the whole Territory, of meet
ing, with it, the navigable waters of the
Missouri river within our own limits, and
throwing this trade into a city within our
own Territory, becomes most apparent,
and is shown to involve interests of the
first magnitude.
The importance of great commercial
cities to the people of the whole State in
which they are located, is well understood
by the political economists as well as the
business community at large.
These great emporiums are not only
markets at which the productions of diff
ferent sections are bought and sold, or
exchanged, but in them are located the
monetary institutions, the Banks, Insur-
ance offices and Exchange Brokers of the
country, and they soon attain to the great
power of consolidated wealth, from which
the means of developing the resources Of
the State are mainly derived, as well as a
large proportion Of the taxes necessary to
pay the expenses of Government; and a
State without one of those great centers
of trade, will feel in every department of
business the great want of its strengthen
ing hand.
What would Missouri be without st.
Louis, Illinois without Chicago, Maryland
without Baltimore, Pennsylvania without
Philadelphia, New York without her city,
or Massachusetts, without Boston ? Mere
tributaries to other States. The work
shops and cornfelds to enrich Others, the
''hewers of wood and drawers of water, /"
without any community of interest in the
large cities erected by the labor of their
hands, without any claims to reciprocal
favors, truly dependent people.
Aside, then, from all considerations OF
State pride, but solely as q question oil
dollars and cents. our internal improve
msnt system, draining. as twill, the rich
est section of our vast Union, should meet
the Missouri river upon Kansas soil, and
build up within our limits one of the most
wealthy cities of the nation, upon whose
Golfers we could call not in vain, to deyel-
op all our natural resources, to assist II
paying our taxes and to make other sec
