An account Of the most diabolical
affair ever recorded, was published in
to-day's Monitor. On Tuesday six
men, either Texans or struggling
outlaws from Indian Territory, came
to the town of Ladore, q few miles
south of here. After drinking all
day they went to the boarding house
of J. N. Roach and asked to stay all
night. Being refused on account o,
their drunken condition, one Of the
party knocked Roach insensible with
a revolver, and then went to the bed
occupied by his two daughters, aged
twelve and fourteen, and ravished
them during the entire night, using q
knife to accomplish their purpose
Roach revived after o time, but fear
ed to stir, knowing that he would be
killed if he did so. He describes the
| cries and entreaties of the girls al
heartrending. A quarrel arose
among the demons, and one was shot
dead while in the act of satisfying
his lust.
At daybreak, the party fed, one
taking to the woods with him the
youngest girl. The town was i'm
mediately aroused, and parties star
ted in every direction to search 70,
the fiends. The one with the girl
was soon overtaken and hung to 9
tree. Two others were found score
ted in town, and hung to the same
tree. The remaining three were
also captured ind two Of them lung
The other one at last accounts was ir
the custody OF the citizens, but will
probably share the fate Of his com
panions.

The writer in the Des Moines
Valley Register, of the 18th inst,
makes q wide mistake in associating
Enquirer with Modostus, by an
alias. 1t is true the term "angel,"
according to Webster, did signify
spirit, and does nosc, when Invested
of tangibility andl individuality, and
in that way only, is now and ever
has been manifest to man. But the
writer asks "for information" who,
what and where wore Elias elijah
and Moses, at the time of Christ
TRANSPORTATION upon the Mount?''
We answer, "their bodies had re-
turned to dust; and their spirit to God
who gave it,
You ay in answer to the questi on
"Was Johns fellow.servant an
angel?" is answered in as plain Eng
lish as we could makeiL, Rev. xxi. 8-9

taken, for the servant Gmpliedly)
