TIE CHEROKEE TRAGEDY--FCRTmER PAR
TCULARs.---H. LOHiS. April 23.-The Fort
Smith (trk.) NeW Era gives some further
account Of the recent tragedy in the Indian
Territory. 1t seems the approach of the
United States lnarslials for the arrest of the
murderer Proctor was well known at the
courthouse, ana preparations for resistance
were made, the court having adjourned on
the morning Of the fight from the court
house, which stands on open ground, TO 4
school-house half mile away. and where it
is quite closely built up. All the people
there were armed, including the jury. Even
Proctor, the murderer, had Spencer rifle
and two rcvolvcrS. In the fight which ell
sued the dcspcradocS made the first attack.
OF the mar>lmrs party eight We're killed, in
Guiding Deputy Marshal Owens, and two Sc
ycrcIy wounded. OF the as>lilantS four
were killed, including deputy sheriff and
Juror, and six were wounded. Besides these,
two men We're found dead bali II mile from
the courthouse. and it is supposed they were
killed in wantonness by the retreating az
grcSSors.
A letter from Deputy Marshal Robinson,
in charge of the rcscuing party sent from
Fort Smith. says that he arrived at the place
of the fight OH the 18th, and found the whole
country deserted The Proctor party left
the previous day with sixteen well-armcd
men, taking their wounded with them to the
mountains, and pursuit with Il handful Of
men WaS out of the question.

VALUABLE INvESTIoN.-Thc York (Pa.)
True Democrat gives considerable space to Il
description Of an automatic burr regulator
for llouring mills, which has been recently
set up in large HilI i'll that borough, the
invention OF j. Clinton Roberts, OF Frede-
rick county, Md. The merit claimed for the
apparatus is that it regulates the feed of
grain to the speed of the stone, and main-
tains an invariable effectiveness of work by
varying the pressure of the stone according
to the amount of feed and velocity.
