stcader' cabin, and two squaws went in search
of food. They came to the house when the
man was absent, and went through it in spite
of the wife's remonstranccs. FiDaily they at
tempted to take away the family provisions, to
which the wife objected. The two squaws beat
her over the head. Just then the hus band
came in, aud seeing his wife wounded, took his
gun and shot one of the squaws. The other
souaw ran to the Indian camp and reported
what had been done. Twelve Of the Indians
then entered the house, captured the home

heart out This was done in the presence of his
wife. A large party Of pursucrs has left West

Major Wilson, Solicitor Of the Treasury, is
expected to retura to Washington CD Monday.
He will soon thereafter present TO the Secretary
of the Treasury his final report in the matter
of the safe burglary and the secret service. The
Baltimore American says although the na-
ture of this report may not now be accurately
toresbadowed, there is every reason to believe
that it will contain some very startling state
mcnss, and that it may result 10 a very con-
siderable reorganization Of the treasury force
Secretary Bristow has not wished to take final
action in the matter until after the Grand Jury
has disposed of the pending indictment cases,
for the reason that he has not wished IN any
way to seem to Influence that jury by his &C
