From, the LedrtneortA {Ea7,., Journal, June Is.
From & letter received IN this city, dated Dodge
City, June 81, We learn the following partlcu-
lars OF the Indian depredntions in the South
west.
Five white men have been scalped and one
shot through the abdomen.
The first man attacked "a Nr. Dudley was tied
to wagon and his finger and toe nsils pulled
out bv the roots He WAS then thrown upon
the ground, stake driven through him. aud
BcAiped.
The second man, br name Tom Waller had
both his arms cut off and WAS then scalped.
The third man, Cheyenne jack. Was tied to
wagon and scalped-
The fourth was scalped in his own bed and his
house fired.
The tifth man, named Warren, lives near Dodge
CITY, is & frelghter TO Camp Supply. He WAS
making return trip to Dodge City, and when
about twenty-five miles from the latter point, it
being night, lie with his four companions was
camped out. Some time during the night the
Indians stampeded their horses. Warren took
one Of the party with MIN and started on foot
for home. Near Mulberry Creek they discovered
tie trail Of their horses, and near By pony.
which they caught, and Warren mounted and
haetened homewaro, leaving his companions to
follow On foot. Warren Was afterwards found
six miles from home, shot tive times and nearly
half his head cut OF. He leaves wife and si1
children.
Tho writer goes on to state that the arms sent
By this Governor are hot what III wanted and
will be returned. He says that on the hills near
Dodge the si 5nnls Of the Indians can be seen at
night consisting of blazing pine knots and bum
dies Of brush tossed into the air to attract the
attention OF other tribes. The settlers think
there are shout 5000 Indinns forming together,
and tho whites are Prepared for concerted at
tack.
Since writing the above VIC have met Mr. J. G.
Kirkpatrick, County Commissioner OF Barbour
County, who stntes that he was yesterday IN To-
peka ia conference with the Governor, c. c. Be-
mis-, Chairman of the Commissioners Of Barbour
County, and Charles Collins, Sheriff Of Reno
County, in reference to the Indian denredations
in lis county. He learns taat eight citizoEs
have been killed. The people hsyo deserted
their claims and are in stockudes at Medicine
Lodge, kowa. and Sun City. All the horses in
the county laye beea run of, and houses have
been fired into at kiowa.
There is evidently move on the frontier for
general Indian raid. Dir. Kirkpatrick says
there be no doubt Of the connection Ct
white men With the raid.
The settlers must have aid in the way OF arms
and ratlons or abandon tho county. The Gov
ernor is doing al he can, and has telegEephed to
Ft. Leavonwurth aud Washington in the
matter.
