w. c. Benni. gton and Jas. Fl. Shattuck,
which were found in different places horribly
mutilated. Four more of the citizens of At
lantic are Still missing, and there is no doubt
that two of them have been killed as they
were near the trail OF the Indians. The stage
due here yesterday has not yet arrived aud it
is believed it has been captured by the Indians
The stage left Big Sandy station, forty
miles west OF here, yesterday morning all right.
On board were Paymaster Gen. Award, Major
Russell and four guards Of the United States
army, Frederick Hummel, passenger, VIM.
Benbam, one Of the proprietors of the rou'e,
and W.. A. Kelley, the driver. A party of
mounted men left here to endeavor to learn
the fate of this party. There are but few in
fantry troops in Wind River valley to guard
that important settlement aud none in this
vicinity of any kind. Our people are loudly
calling for Gen. Sheridan or Col. Baker.

ALMOST FIRE. Yesterday afternoon a
strong smell of smoke was noticed in the bath
rooms Of John p. Smith, on Exchange street.
Deputies Decelle and Sterling were called and
made an examination of the premises as well
as the store adjoining, but could discover
nothing. Afterwards, however, gentleman
in Mr., Smiths establishment found shaving
back of the brick base on which the furnace
rests, which had charred appearance. and on
sxami nation the woodwork was found very
hot, the fire in the furnace having heated the
bricks to such degree as to have kindled the
wood. Water was thrown on aud the fire ex-
tinguished. The probabilities are, if there had
been no one in the store, there would have been
a serious fire.
