Murder Of Lieutenant BeIden.

The Council Bluffs Buyle, of the fifteenth.
contains the following particulars of the
murder of Lieutenant George p. Belden:
Our old friend George P. Belden. the
white Chief soldier, trapper, poet. au-
thor, printer. painter. was bruta1Iv muir
dered near Grand River Agency. Dakota
Territory, on September l, by an Cnkpapa
Indian. Those who found the BODY discoy-
cred it in pool of water. pierced BY a large
bullet hole, the ball having broken the
bridge OF his nose and come out at the back
OF his head. His brains were oozing out at
the hole. He was not scalped, but lis skull
was broken. Belden was quite widely
known by his writings. His book. entitled
'Belden, the White Chief: or Twelve Years
Among the Wild Indians Of the Plains" has
proved one Of the most popular subscril,.
ton books of the day He was at one time
a contributor to the New York Tribune and
the Chicago Tribune, and served for some
time as writer on the Chicago Press A
little over year ago Mr.. Belien went to
Sioux City, and soon afterward accepted
situation on one of the papers there. for
few months previous to his resuming his ad-
venturOus career among the Indians. He
was born in Ohio, and has been among the
Indians since he was thirteen years of age.
His mother and younger brother and sister
live near Columbus, Nebraska. and he has
two married sisters residing in Omaha. He
was married, but has been separated from
his wife for some years. She is now residing
in Attica, Indiana

chance OF their being brought back and

"hoic OF the municipal corruption in Ameri-

The Wigan Colliery Calamity.

New YORK. September ia London
paper gives the following account of the
colliery explosion near Wigan on the sixth
instant: At eleven o'clock this morning
men in nine-feet canal were at work. and
two slnkers We're descending the east shaft
to join the fellows below. when from the
down cast came blast like the discharge
OF cannon. followed by a terrible dis
charge Of SCOT and smoke from up the
cast, which lasted several minutes, and was
scattered by slight breeze over the ad-
Jacent fields. The first named cogs then
standing on the raised platform was whirled
out of its position, and Browman had es-
capped greatly terrified, while at the second
SHAFT such wreck was made OF the gear
that it is wonderful how Browman escaped
alive from the chaos. He did sustain
severe bruises and was taken home in a
cart.
When the irst exploring party descended
the down cast shaft they found three men
alive at the furnace which is placed in the
upper ream known as the -Four foot They
descended to the Mine foot" where there
were number of dead bodies, and several
golfers alive calling for water These were
