Indian Outraxes.

JULEsBURaH, CoLoRA DO TERRI, Jan o.
On Saturday morning aparty OF Indians,
about sixty in number, attacked the over
land express coach three miles east Of here,
and robbed the mail express. They ak0
attacked mule train, killing one man
and wounding another. The troops at the
military post here, numberingfrom City 10
eighty men, Immediately started to the 70
Lief OF the white settlers in the vicinity, and
drove the Indians to the bluffs, q miie back,
where the Indians were reinforced to the
number Of 1900, and in turn drove the
troops back to the post. The Indians then
entered the stage station in large numbers.
and after destroying all the furniture and
breaking all the windows in the building.
set it on fire. They also destroyed large
amount of telegraph material.
Awell directed fire OF musketry from the
troops at the post soon drove them from the
station. In the running fight, or retreat OF
our troops, 50 Indians were killed inclu-
ding their principal chief. Nineteen citi-
zens and soldiers were killed.
A general massacre and destruction OF
the whites was only prevented by the per-
severance and bravery of our troops, and
an efficient artillery tire. The Indians re-
tired in southerly direction. This ID by
far the most determined incursion madeby
Indians.

S-In Cincinnati the City Council have
passed an Ordinance regulating the bust
ness of substitute brokerage, aud designed
to place i, in the hands of honorable men.
It provides that those engaged in the SUBJ
stitute business shall secure the indorse-
ment of ut least six citizens as to character
and standing, and then if considered a
proper applicant by the Mayor he receives
q license for one year upon giving an ap-
proved bond to the city in the sum of ave
thousand dollars. Violation Of the Ordi.
nance involves fine of not more than one
hundred dollars, or an imprisonment of %
days. This is healthy regulation and il
adopted in our cities generally would put q
stop to the scoundrelism and rascality tina,
new in 80 many instances characterizes this
kind of business.
