TIE WINNEcKp COMET. DIR. Peters,
Director of the Litchield Astronomical
Observatory at Clinton, publishes the fol-
lowing interesting communication
"Litchfeza Observatory at Hamilton
College; Clinton. N, Y. June 30-The
comet discovered by Professor "Hinnecke
was observed here last night, now passing
with southerly motion through the con-
stellation of Pisces. 1t is bright object,
and may be seen even in smaller telescope.
Approaching both sun and earth, it is
still on the increase, though remaining
low above the eastern horizon in the NOR
ming hour. On the whole, globular in
shape, there is dilatation or expansion
on the side from the sun WHICH makes
the from more like that Of an egg But
most remarkable appear the internal
structure Of the comet. Without dis
tinct stellar centre, there is concentra-
ton of light exactly as in certain nebulas
when on the point of resolyability-a sort
of twinkling of countless bright dots =
Its low altitude, however, at the brake of
day forbade to use with advantages higher
power for separating the components.
Since we know now the connection of
comets with meteoric showers, the obser-
yation made seems interesting.
Yours, very respectfully"

CHEYENNE, w. T., July IA party
of twenty prospectors, who Left here for
the Snake River mines three weeks ago,
returned to-day. They witnessed fight
between the Utes and Cheyenncs, and
probably owe their lives to the fact of the
Indians fighting among themselves.
July4th they found the body of Mr..
Shipman, of Independence, Montana, in
front of his cabin. He was shot twice,
scalped and axes were driven into his head
and his body was matilatei in manner
toe horrible and disgusting to mention
Eighty miles north of here,at North
Platte ferry, they founa. he body of two
more miners mutilated in Ike manner.
Their names were unknown. he
Indians committing these outrages are
undoubtedly Chepennes. There are about
fifty miners at Hens Peak COLA mines,
fifty miles west of North Park, who are
panning out, on the average, five dollars
per Gay to the man.

A fight then ensucd between the Chey-

hours, whom the Cheyenaes fed. The
Dtes then went at the miners and killed
all they could find of them.
The informant states that he buried
three of the killed at J ohm Gilman's cab

Chapman, who was sick and in the care

lished letter few days ago. We did
not learn the names of the Others.
They were all very much mangled and
their heads chopped to pieces, Up to the
present writing Mr. Van Dyke has not
been beard from, though his coat and hat
were found in his cabin. In the present
state of excitement. it is difficult to get
at the facts, but we regard It as certain
that the Utes have broken out upon Us
and that several miners have been killed
over at the Park.
Reports later than the foregoing make
1t undoubtedly true that the North Park
miners have been massacreJi.
