INDIAN ourRAGEs UPON WHITE WOMEN


ST. LOUIS Aug 1S.-A letter from Ellsworth,
Kansas, dated on the 18th inst, says: On Mon
day, 18th inst, band of some 200 Indians APP
peared on Spellman's Creek, about 16 miles
Northwest of Ellsworth. On arriving at the
house OF a Mr.. Shaw they caught and beat him
numerically and drove him away. The devils
then caught Mrs. Shaw and her sister and vio-
lated their persons. Thirty or more of the
savages continued to abuse these helpless wo-
men till long after the latter had become sense
less. After destroying his property the Indi-
ans left the women for dead, and proceeded to
the the house of Mr.. Smith and beat him in
the same manner and violated the person of
his wife, leaving her in a very critical condi-
ton. Indeed, it is feared that all the women
who had been subjected to these outrageS are
fatally injured. The red devils met and abus-
ed several other citizens by beating them. At
ter destroying all the property within their
reach they lett for the North.
These poor women say that for five or six
hours they were subjected to outrages, and
they show fearful marks of the cruelty of their
captors. In their efforts of resistance they re-
ceived very serious injuries.
A detachment of soldiers were sent after the
Indians from Fort Harker, accompanied by 80
or 60 settlers, on Wednesday night. They sent
for achievements, and ON Thursday full
company, under command of Col. Bentne,
started for the scene of the outrages.
The latest report is that Col. Bentine had
women surrounded in a house. and that he had
ed any of them was not ascertained. These
are probably the same Indians who have been
numbering and committing outrages ON Solo,
mon Creek

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 18-The lottery bill
has become a law withG ut the Governors sig
nature by lapse of time. Not satisfied with
the bill passed some time since, vesting control
of the police afairs5n this city in the Board of
Commissioners independent of the city author
tiles, another bill is now before the Senate
creating Metropolitan Police District, COM
prisng the city and parishes of Orleans and
Jefferson, and the parish of st. Bernard, pro.
viding that the powers and duties connected
with and incident to the police government
and discipline in said district be vested in a
board OF five Commissioners, of which the
Lieutenant Governor is President. The board
is to appoint the superintendent, inspectors,
captains, surgeons, sergeants, patrOlmen,
clerks and door men. The Commissioners are
to be appointed by the Governor and confirm
ed by the Senate. The advocates of the bill
say 1T resembles in most respects the Me-
tropoltan police bill of New York. 1t
contains the usual proviso that none can
hold even the most subordinate position crea-
ted, who is disqualified to hold office under the
14th article, or under the State Constitution.
The Board is empowered to provide such ac-
commodations for itselfas it may deem requisite
and appoint special policemen, as discretion.
Members of the metropolitan police force are
empowered TO discharge all constabuary pow
ers except civil processes, in any part of the
State. The Board are to select one of their
own members as treasurer to control the dis
bu sement fund, and it is also provided by
this bill, that the Board be empowered to pass
enactments.
