HoAG.
Superintendent Hosg has informed the
Indian Bureau that he has ordered o
thorough investigation into the murder of
the surveyors by the Indians In his
communication he enclosed letter from
tho SDecial Agent, John +. Williams,
who says It appears that II the said out
rage was committed at all by the Chey.
rpncs, 1t was probably done by some oI
their young men in the absence Of their
chiefs. This view Is strengthened by the
bodies being buried in the sand, which
Is unusual among Indians. They scalp
and leave the bodies exposed. The in
vcstigalion will be pursued especially
with The Indians on their arrival at the
Agency, to which they are now moving,
and We expect no further trouble.
The chiefs and head men OF the
Kiowas, Comanches and Apache Indians,
having petitiOned Tor the release oi San,
tanta and Big Tree, and having restored
all the stolen property and given guaran-
tee Tor their lutute good conduct, their

tlon as to the mental condition OF George
Francis Train was to-day resumed before
Judge DAILY and a special jury. District
Attorney Phelps opened the proceedings
by stating the object for which tho jury
had been empannelled, namely, to dis
cover whether Train was or was not in
sane, the result of which inquiry would
determine whether he could be tried
under the indictment for publishing an
obscene paper.
DR.. Tiaddcus NJ. 3. Cross was exam.
iued, and testified that at the request oi
the District Attorney, he and DR.. Ham
mond had made an examination OF Train,
and from the conversation, manner and
appearance Of the subject Of investigation
he formed the opinion that he was Of un-
sound mind. Witness visited Train twice,
and conversed with him on politics, reli-
zion, Grant, Greeley, and his property In
Omaha Train said hG was the Pagan
dictator of this country; tho nation could
not get along without his leadership;
Greeley had been poisoned, and within
sixty days from March 18th, every brick
in tho Tombs would bG lGvelcd, and the
streets would run with blood. He (Train)
knew this and he was the only person to
stop It; DR.. Durant had $4,000 OF his
and paid him Is per cent interest; Wall
street and the banks were rotten and
would have 10 go up.
Gen. Chatheld, Trains counsel, cross
examined DR.. Cross very severely, asking
him If he thought Gallilco, Bacon, New
ion and Socrates were insane because
they formed theories oil their own In d.
rect opposition to the general belief oi
their era,
At the conclusion oi the testimony Oi
this witness tho court adjourned until TO-
morrow.
