know, that there is not the least doubt
but that four or five of the Iowa train
robbers have made their rendezvous in
this (Lafayette) county. Two of them
were at Dover, just below Lexington,
day before yesterday, mounted on splen-
did horses. 1t is believed the others

COnaradtcfed.
New ORLEANS, August 2S.-A special
from Waco, Texas, to the PicdWSne
says: "The stage-driver brings in news
that large body of Indians surprised
and captured Fort Sill, in the Indian

United States cavalry.
CONTRADICTION.
CHICAGO, August 2S.-The report
from Waco, Texas, via New Orleans, of
an attack by the Indians on Fort Sill,
and the massacre of women and chill
dren and part of the fourth cavalry, is
undoubtedly a cdn0rd. No report of
such an attack has been received at
General Sheridan's headquarters here, as
would have undoubtedly have been the
case if one had been made. Moreover,
the fourth cavalry is at Fort Clarke, on
the Rio Grande, and not within five
hundred miles of Fort Sill.
ANOTHER CONTRADICTION.
WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The war
department up to three O'Clock has not
received any advices concerning the re-
ported massacre by indians at Fort
Sill.
STILL ANOTHER CONTRADICTION.

ment and the Indian bureau concerning
the reported Indian massacre at Fort
Sill. The officials in the war and In

companies of the tenth cavalry and
several companies of infantry are at
Fort Sill. and il Is considered certain
that should the massacre have occurred,
Information would have promptly
reached here by a nearer route than ria
