CAMPAIGN AGAINST TIE INDANs-The
Portland Advertiser says; The question has
already been asked if any steps are being
taken to punish the Indians who have recent
ly murdered so many American citizens. In
response to that important question we are
qualified to state that preparations have al
ready commenced for most vigorous cam
paign against the offending tribe at the
earliest opening of spring, and Col. Wright
has expressed his determination to leave
no means uutried, in order to visit summary
chastisement upon the murderers.
1t is also in contemplation to establish a
military post on the Boise river, southeast
of the place where the old fort was located
1t is generally supposed that the Indians car
ried off four or five children from the Myers
immigrant train, and necessary precautions
will also be taken 10y the military department
to rescue them from their captors, either by
force or ransom but in all probability by
the former as even the Nez Perez Indians

having killed a white man-do not now man

BRUTAL AssAULT.-A very cowardly and
bautal assault was made, last Thursday night.
upon DR.. G. W. Wilson, residing on First
street. 1t seems that he was sitting in his
house with his family, when a man named
Rouster and two or three others, entered and,
as the report goes, insulted Wilson's wife
Wilson told him that his house was not one
of ill'fame. and that he could not allow that
kind of talk. Subsequently, in the night
after Wilson and family had retired to bed
Wilson being sick, having bled at the lungs
Rouster and four or FIVE others, as we are in
formed, broke down the door, and before Viii.
son could rise, struck him on the head with a
brick. He rose to struggle with his assailauts,
and getting him down, they beat himover the
head in most unmerciful man, one of them
striking him with brickbat held in his hand
He was left wallowing in pool of blood,
aud the assailants departed Rouster having
been recognized by Wilson and his wife, was
arrested and lodged in the station house.
The wounded man is in a very critical condi-
tion.

A GREAT BILLIARD PLAYEn.-According to

| in New York. One Of our western champions
has taken up the cue to rival him, however.
He has had but little experience as yet, and
hopes to cope with tho tremendous French
man AFTER few years practice. The follow
ing are some Of his diversion shots--a new
name for what Berger calls the romantic:
Driving a ball down leg of a billiard ta-
ble, down two pair Of stairs, and making a
cerom IN three balls suspended over pawn
brokers' door.
Showing his ball through fourteen lengths
of stove pipe, and drawing it back into his
over coat pocket. He makes very pretty
right angle shot through a stove pipe elbow.
Making carom toy causing ball to travel
a portion of the distance on cushion, and
travel the remainder on its nerve.
Driving bis ball between two balls four
feet apart and hitting both at tie same time.
This is done 10y the ball bursting" just as it
gets between them.
Making masse shots from various portions
of the table, causing the players ball to
twist forcibly against the abdomen Of any
bystander designated.
His great effort lies in "nursing" the balls
In this delicate operation he is aided by two
competent wet nurses.
