Mr.. John L. Severns, of Newburg, N. T.,
whose death was reported by telegraph was
seated at the supper table with his wife and
sister, and was just in the act of raising his
fork to his mouth when his wife heard the re-
port of pistol, and saw him fall forward
with his face resting on his plate. Mr.. Sew
ems swooned, but the sister raised an alarm,
which quickly reused the neighborhood. The
bullet entered the head behind the right ear,
and proved fatal instantly. The murderer
remained in the house, and when officers at
tempted to arrest him, made a most desperate
resistance, but was finally overcome. He was
found to be one Button Lake, ali inmate of
the Insane Asylum at Worcester, Mass. He
was discharged from that institution last
week, and came to Newburg with Mr.. Sew
erns's son, who had also been in the Asylum.
Mr.. Severn was proprietor of large paper
machinery establishment.
A new and rich silver mining district has
recently been discovered in Colorado territory.
1t is fifteen miles northwest of Central City,
on the western boundary of Boulder county,
forty miles from Denver. About thirty lodges
have been struck, and six or eight uncovered,
showing the true assure silver veins, and bear
ing the pay rock crevices from two to FIVE feet
in width. There are five hundred men on the
grounds. The buildings are rapidly going up.
Tons of rock ores are being hauled from the
mines to the smelling works at Black Hawk,
daily. Three regular coaches run from Den
yer each day. The passengers number about
100. The veins, as far as developed, give the
impression that this is one of the richest sill
yer regions yet discovered on the continent.
A Salt Lake dispatch says that on Saturday
detachment of Mormon police sacked a

owner had appealed to the District Court

were held in $4,000 each, and their twenty
assistants in $4,000 each, to answer at the next
term of the S. j. Court There is much ex-
element in the city, and the Marshal has
sworn in one hundred deputies.

them, for this reason: AS the stage
from Bryan to South Pass passed his
ranch yesterday they noticed a feath-
er-bed ripped open and the contents
scattered all about. They went in
the house and all the furniture and
dishes were broken up and good
watch dog he owned was killed with
arrows. 1t is supposed they cap
tured him alive to reserve him for
the torture. NV We have good rea-
son to believe that these acts were
committed by Red Clouds braves. /
suppose we ought to feel thankful
that while Red Cloud is hob nobbing
with Vincent Collyer and other In
dian sympathizers at Washington,
his children in the land of the setting
sun as he calls. them are amusing
themselves by scalping our citizens
and Sealing our stock, and yet hun
dreds of people east say "Lo! the
poor Indian" These Indians came
over 800 miles Fl ON their reservations
to kill our people and steal our stock,
and over 40 miles from any Indian
reservation and without any or the
least provo cation on our part under
Gods Heaven. They follow out the
natural instincts of their savage ma
ture to kill and rob the white man at
every opportunity. l care not what
mans politics may have been nor
how great friend he may be to the
Indian let him come out in this wes-
tern wilderness and have his friends
killed by his side, his stock all stolen
and barely escape with his own life,
his sentiments will change materially
as regard these savages. l see a
resolution in the U. S. Senate calling
upon the President for information
in regard to the massacre of Jews in
Romania. 1t would look better if
they called his atte ntion to massacre
of American citizens on this western
frontier and not turn deaf ear to all
our pleadings. We have now not
enough stock to do our work and our
citizens are dis couraged. A great
many will leave here as life is not
safe, nor will it be until the Govern
ment put the Indians on reservations
and keeps them there with troops,
and at the same time keep white men
off. You will excuse this long letter
about Indians, 1t is a matter in which
Frontiersmen take deep interest, as
our lives and property are in the
question, and we have no other way of
making ourselves heard only through
the Press Of the East, which some
of us attempt in feeble manner to
do. Au revoir,
