FROM THE FAR WEST.

CHICAGO, August
The Times Omaha special says: This
morning about one O'Clock, the western
freight train on the Union Pacific Railroad
was suddenly attacked by large force of
Indians. They placed obstruction on the
track six miles west of Plain Creek Station.
The train was thrown from the track. and
engineer Brooks Bowers, formerly of the
Rock Island road, together with the fireman
and two brakesmen, were killed and scalped.
The conductor Of the train escaped during
the confusion. The engine was badly demol-
ished. The train, consisting of freight cars,
was plundered and set on FIRE. Merchan
disc was destroyed to the value of from thir-
ty to forty thousand dollars. The telegraph
operator ct Plain Greek started out on hand
car, with three section men, to repair the
wire, shortly after, but they we're so hotiy
pursued by the Indians that the operator
narrowly saved himself. The three section
men are missing and are supposed 10 be
killed. The line was put up this morning
and ia in working order TO the end Of the
road. Plain Creek is about 230 miles west Of
Omaha and q favorite crossing for the In.
dams, But little damage was done to the
track. Much excitement exists along the
entire line, and the Indians sre reported to
be menacing several points on the road. 1t
is not known to what band the Indians be
long but they are supposed to have some
force II is rnmored that they were led by
white men.
ST LnUis, Aug. 8.
A dispatch says Capt Wicks' party Of En-
eineers were attacked by large band Of ln>
dians al Fort Hays Station. and had to call
on the Fort for assistance. The Indians got
between the Engineers and Fort, and heavy
fighting was anticipated. u
Quite a number Of indians, with painted
white men as interpreters, appeared at Rock
Springs, ten miles east Of Fort Harker. last
evening, and made particular inquiry regard
ing the railroad and wagon trains. whether
they we're guarded, &C., but receiving unsai
isfactory answers they departed. There is no
douh, many Of the Indian bands are headed
by white men, for the purpose of pluuder.

The subject was fully discussed in cabinet
yesterday, and the course above indicated

This point will be discussed again in cabinet

Tie jury in the Surratt case, have now
been out 81 hours, and there seems no pros
pect for final agreement. 1t is rumored
that the jury now stand II to /. Judge
Fisher has not been on the bench to-day
The crowd goes and comes continually, and
individuals discuss with much energy. the
probabilities Of the verdict, and Surratt is
beng tried over again by the spectators. He
has not been brought to the court room te-
day. Bradley, Sr., is engaged in another
part of the cour. house, but either Merrick or
Bradley, Jr., are present to watch every pro
ceeding. Pierpont has not been in the court
room since the case went to the jury,
Judge Fisher returned TO the court room
at 6 clock, and as the jury we're not pre-
pared to report, he went home, saying he
would not be back till Tomorrow forenoon,
and giving the officers permission to 20 home,
and the crowd that were in attendance i'm
mediately took their departure. tits under
stood, however, that if the jury desire to cone
into the court during the night, the Judge will
be sent for.
To show how the jury in the Surra,t case
are divided, the most reasonable report is,
that 9 are for acquittsl and 8 for conviction.
