THE TEXAS INDIANS UNDER SEN
TENCE OF DEATH.
ST. LOUIS, July 25.-The Reptl6Ji-
can learns from Jacksboro, Texas, that
the report of the Indian chiefs, San
tana and Big Tree, being killed while
attempting 70 escape, is untrue. They
were both tried at JacksbOrO and found
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Judge Seward, who presided at their
trial, thought their punishment ought
TO be cCmmuted to imprisonment for
life. Mr.. Tatum, Indian Agent, was
using his influence to obtain the same
result. General Sherman had ordered
that they be held until q final order
from the President be received. It is
probable, therefore, they will not be
hung. Santana takes his imprisOn-

on the Wilson train was the first one
he has been engaged in in Texas, and
if the whites will release him, he will
never make another.
