THE INDIAN WAR.
Floating Rumors and More Trouble.

There remains no longer any doubt
with reference to the determination OF
| the Indians TEev mean war, every
one of the wild tribes in the Territory,
and in Mexico. Northern Texas, Colo
RADIO. and western Kansas. From re-
ports and letters received daily at this
point, it would seem that the rowing
bands are numbering every small par
ty that falls in their way.
Ben Parcels. IA citizen of Wichita,
wi ho came in from Granada night be-
fore last. says Capt. Thrasher arrived
at Ft. Dodge and reports that six of
his men were attacked by Indians and
killed, on Crooked creek. Oh the even
ing Of the 23rd of August. The party
killed all lived in Lawrence, and their
names were o. F. Short, James Shaw,
and son, John Kulcher and Harvey
Jones. Some Of Thrasher's men found
Col. Moonlight's camp which was in
ashes, the instruments scattered
around and the wagons all chared by
fire. Nothing was seen of MOonlight's
party, but it was supposed that they
had escaped.
Gen. Mccall and William Matthew
son, of this city, (Wichita), both re-
ceived letters Yesterday from F.. Sill,
via Dcuison, Texas. These letters
represented the Wichita agency still
in state of siege. Several men had
been killed and it was impossible TO
get any communication to or from the
whites at the agency. Gen. McCalfs
letter stated that twenty men had been
killed in and around the Wichita agen-
cy OH the Washata river, thirty miles
this side Of FIT. Sill.
Five thousand men can be raised in
Southwestern Kansas, inside of a
week who would settle this Indian diff
ticultv and insure peace hereafter.
Without stopping to inquire who was
first to blame, it is evident that the
Indians must now be terribly punish
ed, the sooner the better, and the Kan
sas bows are the ones to do it.

A Case Of Conscience.

From the P.rkershurg Times.
Our readers vii! remember the dar-
ing burglary perpetrated in open day
light in Mr.. NJ. K.lly's house on SUM-
day OF last December while he and his
family were in church attending divine
services; the burglars cut open several
trunks, in which they found about
$1,000, partly in gold and silver, partly
10 greenbacks, which they appropriated
and took away. The daring burglary
startled our citizens who, however,
hoped that the perpetrators OF such q
grave offeuse would surely be ferreted
out. The police and several citizens
were constantly on the alert, watching
for clue which to fasten upon the
thieves To their pleasant surprise Mr..
Kelly informed them this morning that
the money had been returned to him,
last evening". He says that shortly a.
ter I o'clock lsst evening, a knocking
was hesri st HE stting-room door, but
though q come ia" was extended, no.
BODY entered his room. Then he went
out with a Lighted candle, aud though
looking around closely could see no.
body neither Was any answer given to
his repeated question, who is there 2"
and while returning to his room, be
discovered package on the ell o. his
door, which he naturally picked up and
took 10, and in opening it, he found that
the money stolen from him was wrap
pei up in it. This of course, highly
pleased the old gentleman, and he now is
again as merry as ever. We heartily con-
graduate Mr.. Kelly upon his good luck
in regaining bis lost property. Who the
daring burglars are, who committed the
theft liz open daylight is not yet known,
though it is believed that they can be
ferreted out.
