TIE INDIAN TRAGEDY.-We yester-
day, says the Enterprise Of this morn
ing, sought and obtained a contirma-
ton Of the tragedy mentioned in our
issue Of Wednesday last. Our infor-
nation Is derived from many sources.
and there can be no doubt whatever
but that the item published was true.
II appears that the Indian killed in
the Piute camp, east ofthis city, was 4
refugee, having been driven from the
tribe OIL account of his thicvlng pro-
pensities and general uglinesS. lie
had been staying among the ShoShores
Mt Austin. and was known there rs
Buffalo Bill - his real name being
..Arbod john" He left Austin some
time last week and came over to this
city. While here he managed to steal
from the PiutGs two OF their horses,
and also tiled to abduct a squaw. He
sold the horses to some Slo>honeS III
Austin and returned to commit more
depredations. After buying liquor i'll
town and becoming Intoxicated, lie
started for the Piute camp. and falling
upon an Indian unawareS. he beat him
severely and then shot him. The
whole tribe then pouuced upon him,
dubbed out his brains, cut his throat
from ear to ear. and then burned the
lnutilsted remains. We talked with
several Plutes yesterday, and all OF
them saw Arbod John was \ heap
nean, bad man." and seem to think
that they were justified in killing him.

chain at the Fashion Saloon, opposite

tween Charles Trewella and Henry
Ousrles, on forty-four, the highest
throw. Not liking to throw OH,
Ouarles sold his chance to anothet
party, and the ownership OF the watch
Is not settled yet. Such n stake De-
tween two parties on a single game oil
dice constitutes a pretty high game.
