THE INDIANs.-During the past
week the Indians made raid into
1.-The settlements on Clear Creek, and
drove off about fifty head of horses
Belonging to whites 1t is estimated
from the trail that there were about
twenty Indians IN the party. The
trail was followed by citizens; it
passed within two and a half miles
3of the town of Montague and cross
led Red River in the vicinity of Vic
atoria PeaR- The whites never came
5up with the savages. The loss is a
severe one to those who have just
commenced preparations for farm
ing, and it will be some time before
THE missing horses can be replaced.
The Indians that raid into the
Northwestern portion Of this State
carry their stolen plumber to
4 the reservation, and there traffic it
loft. We have seen parties who
went to Fort Sill and there saw
their property in the possession of
the Indians, but could not recover
lit. We believe, however, that since
I the visit of Gen. Sherman to the
frontier, that part ofthe programme
1 has been somewhat modified, and
Jail tue stolen prope. ty found in the
possession of The Indians is return
led to the proper owners on demand.

and tho lightnings flashed wildly

sthe storm burst upon tho town and
for few minutes prevailed fearful
N.Y. Nearly all the fencing in the
town and in the country adjacent
was blown down. The chimney of
tho house formerly occupied by Mr..
i Agnew was blown down The
brick store occupied by Ross g. Scott
had q portion of one of the walls
forced in and the top of the chin
ney carried away. The Deaf &
Dumb Asylum was blown down off
the blocks. The large frame house
occupied by Capt. o. P. Richardson
was blown down off the blocks and
the entire building moved ten feet
to the eastward. The house is AZ
feet front with 80 feet ell, and
Strongly put together, yet the force

fall from tho blocks, without tear
ling to pieces however, or seriously
1 injuring any of the occupants, who
were all in the house at the time.
We hear of no serious damages
attending the storm in tho country,
except to fencing and buildings.
From travellers we learn that the
tornado extended its course as far
