MORE INDIAN TROUBLES.
High Old Doinss of Mr.. Lo!

BISMARCK, DA.. August 12.-lndian
troubles are not likely to be confined to
the higher Missouri country. The dis
satisfaction among the Indians in the
vicinity of Bismarck may prove serious.
Last Sunday a man named RoDt. Henry
was murdered two miles from Ft. Abra-
ham Lincoln, and his stock run off. On
Tuesday evening the Indians appeared
near the fort and ran in parties who
were making hay. The same night the
Sioux held pony dance at the Stand
ing-rock Agency, and in the course Of
which they rode into the quarters of the
military command, and trampled tents
and blankets of the camp under their
horses feet to provoke collision.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, August 12.-
There is no change to-day In the situa-
tion at Corinne, Utah. The Indians are
very troublesome, but have not yet com.
mitted any open act of hostility. They
number about 1000 and comprise repre-
sentativcs of four different tribes-Utes,
Snakes, Shoshones and Bannocks. All,
except the Utes, have always been con-
sidered as hostile. One company OF
United States troops has arrived at Cor
inne from Salt Lake and two more COM
panies 20 forward to-day.
Governor Emery accompanies them.
The citizens OF Corinne and vicinity are
much alarmed and continue to send away
their families by every train. The Trib-
une (Gentile) says the Indians declare
they came to stay, that the whole coln-
try IS theirs given them by Brigham
Young. The Morm0ns claim the Indian
Agents are guilty Of neglect in allowing
the Indians to leave the Reservations.
The News (Church Organ) says no
cause of alarm exists. The Indians
never were more peaeeably disposed and
are engaged in farming.

New Method OF Lighting street Lamps.

A German engineer has invented a
method of lighting street gas. lamps
more simple and durable than by elec;
tricity. The apparatus can be affixed
equally to all gas jets, and it is made to
act, not by any special mechanism, but
simply by the increased pressure of the
gas, which is always laid on from the
gasometer when the lamps should be
| lighted. The one act of turning on the
gas at the main ignites 1t at all the burn
ers fitted with the new apparatus.
When the pressure is diminished at
the main, the gas can either be totally
extinguished or let. down to q thread.
It is chiefly in the Lighting OF tho streets
Of a town that the invention will be OF
practical use. AS soon as The gas is
turned on, the whole city will be stimuli
taneously illuminated, and when in the
early morning the pressure is reduced
the light may be totally extinguished or
gradually diminished. This apparatus
has been adopted in Heidelberg.
