The Galveston News Of Tuesday last gives the
following account Of bold and successfnl bnr-
glary
Al very daring robbery was perpetrafed in oaY
city on the night Ct Sunday, Nay 70. and from * tas
seem to be the act OF most accomplished bAxgiaTp-
The following is statement Of the facts as re-
ceived by our reporter from Mfs. Leonard, the
Mr.. w. W. Reynolds, q gentleman from Mississippi,
who had been q few days boarding 1T the house,
was, ID seems, in the habit Of placing biz money
which amounted I'd about $500, hetween The mat l
rcsses Of his bed for security at night which must
have become known to the robbers by some
means or other. The bed was 10 placed that the
head Of the occupant lay near the window and
soaked in chloroform attached, WAS thrust through
and held to the nostriIs Of the eaeper until he WAS
sufficiently stnpefed TO render his sudden awaking
improbable. The window was then raised, and
the burglar Or burglars entered the room, and
In order, we presume t0 render assurance of his
nsensbility douby cure, proceeded TO garrote
The room was ransacked, trunks opened, the bed
overhauled and the money found and taken.
Mrs. Leonard.s temporary apartment WAS tn&
entered, and the thieves were rewarded BY tne
further spoil Of that ladys gold watch and 40 ~
cash. tss .sssf ss8 8s5sg III ISL sssssss88s
MI. Reynolds has but a very indistpct recollec-
tion Of what occurred in consequence ~ the treat
ment he received. He certainly recovered EufE
cienty to struggle with his assailants, and fired
two Shots which brought the inmates Of the house
| to the scene but the birds had flown. The apart
ment presents indisputable evidence Of struggle

| Some Of onr farmers are now harvesting, and all
4 agree that the wheat is unusually fine. The same
l glad hdngs come to us from all parts OF our noble
ward tendency. We are glad Of it, for we have all
been eating our heads Off for the past three or
| four months.
From the Parker County News we extract the
following intelligence, which seems to indicate that
the ineditated campaign against the Indians, and
even expedition into their country, Is necessity
that cannot be evaded and should not be delayed
We were confident in the hope that the several
minute companies and the other large forces in the
field, would be enabled to give quiet and security
to the from; but it seems we were mistaken that
in spite Of all the precaution, they still come into
the settlements, and succeed In carrying on horses
Capt. John Henry Pugh, who went out to his
rancho on Paloxy, In Erath county, last week, re-
\ turned on Sunday, and inforna us that when he
arrived at his place he found all quiet and no ex-
| citement in the neighborhood. Went over to
StephensVille on Wednesday, and there found the
Indians had been in the town Of 6tephensyille tho
night before and stolen several horses, and before
night news came in that party of citizens had
| seen thirty.iye Indians on the head Of Sycamore
Creek, and were In pursuit. Shortly tiie news was
brought that Walkers company was in pursuit OF
another party, loves company after another, and
Salmone's after another-one report said thirty five
and another fifteen. Capt. p. came back to his
place to take care of his stock, and on hia way
learned that couple OF men short distance this
4 side of Stephensyile were out IN the woods and
4 came suddenly upon five Indians, who discovered
\ them about the same time, ard were aa much sur
| prised as the white men, whs were unarmed, but
one OF them having stick, immediately jumped
behind tree and presented it as il going TO shoot
| when the Indians soampered of in hurry.
1 The next day Capt. Pugh started to go down To-
| his old place some miles below on tha Paloxy, to
inform the neighborho0d there of what was passing,
4 and came to Mr.. Dodson's when he learned that Q
party Of five Indians had actually rode up to the
house the night before, it is supposed through mis-
take, not having discovered the house TIL they
were just there; the people snpposing i was some
of their neighbors came out to meet them, when
the Indians scampered oil, hut succeeded in carry
ing off some four or i've head of horsas that night,
\ and probably would have taken larger number
4 had they not been guarded.
We hardly expect they will be able to make
such successful trip heretofore, and sincerely
hope to hear of several of their scalps being taken.
i They were hardly expecting to find so many men
in the field ready to receive them.
1t seems quite probable the report sent down by
Mr.. Blain, the agent at Wichita, is no hoax alter
ALL but the Indians were actually coming down as
they arrived just at the time expected. It ID also
understood that portion of Capt. Smiths Com
II pany from Waco, on their way up to Belknap, fell
in with q party Of Indians near where the mail
/, rider was killed some time since, and when last
heard from were in hot pursuit. Success 10 the
