Attempted Murder Ey a Rejected
L0Ver.

Lever
Mr.. Henry Harrison, the son of the
late Symmes Harrison, and grandson Of
EX-President Harrison, yesterday morn
ing about s O'Clock attempted to kill
Miss Mary More, the daughter of Major
John I'll. More, in Boone County, Ken
lucky, nearly opposite North Bend, and
distant from the city about seventeen
miles.
About one year ago Mr.. Harrison,
who is now forty-hVe years of age, lost
his wife who was q relative OF Major
More. During the last six months he
has been paying attentions to Miss
More, who is about ten years his Junior,
and on several occasions asked her
hand in marriage. All of his proposals
| were rejected, Miss More giving as her
| principle reason that she could not leave
her father, for whom she has been keep
| ing house ever since the death OF he L
| mother.
Yesterday morning, in the absence OF
| Major More, Harrison again went to
the house and repeated his offer OF mar
| riage. he was again refused, and was
| told that his visits were not acceptable.
| Without moments notice, and with a
scream II am crazyw he pulled large
sized jackknife from his pocket and
struck at the lady; the first cut took eff
| feet in the breast, a few inches left OF The
bl east-bone, two additional thrusts took
effect in the left breast, just over the
heart, the third and fourth in the neck,
| the latter only missing the jugular VEN.
No one was in the house at the time
but crippled brother of Miss More,
and into his room she managed to find
her way, locking the door.
After committing the assault, Harri.
son remained in the house about ten
minutes. He then went to his own
place, few rods distant, and
Stated to his oldest son
that be had killed Mary More because
she would not marry him. He again
yelled, 81 am crazy;" and running into
, the yard, jumped into cistern in which
there was but four feet of water. He
was rescued by his two sons and placed
under guard.
This morning he was removed to the
County Jail OF Boone County, at Bur.
lington. Miss MLr.'S Injuries are very
serious, but Doctors Terrill and Creslel
have hopes of her final recovery.

a circus tent in Virginia City, New, and
after exploring the town walked into
Chinese gambling-house and begun
''nosing around'' tor opium, much to the
CONSERVATION of the Celestials who W were

As soon as the mother elephant missed
her child she broke loose and trotGed
down the street to the opium den. AS
the door was too small to admit her she
began to enlarge it laterally, and placed
the whole editice in jeopardy. The Chi

But few particulars OF
jim SANDERS MURDER
Bramel ON Territorial Politics.

Bramel is in travail on the delegate
question. 1t was generally understood
that he was growing big" with
congressional asperities, and swelling
out in dimensions, as well MS preten-
sions; but the critical period was:not
expected to arrive before the dog days.
A safe deliverance to Bramel! A
mountain was once in labor and
brought forth a mouse Will Bramel's
labor yield rs much?
He announced IL Tuesdays Chroni-
Gle the following candidates for the
delegateship-Col. L. l.. Pease, OF
Uinta /; II. w. Quinn. of Sweetwater !;
Col. Murrin, Judge Kuykendall and
w. r. Steele, of Laramie county.
Bramel's excessive modesty is touch
ing, in emitting from the list all aspir-
ants from Albany county. He could
without any improperly have limited
at the names of such sterling, unterri-
fed Democrats rs Hons. N. L.. An
drews, w. H. Holiday, ard c. w.
Bramel but he did not.
No such delicacy was observed by
him, however, in regard to the names
of Republican candidates. North, of
Uinta, Bradbury, of Sweetwater, and
France, of Carbon, are trotted out
and when Albany county is reached,
he mentions Dowaey, Brown, King
man and Hayford! Laramie county
Republicans are alluded to with the
ineligible remark hat the candidates
are legion, and we had to go to Alba
ny county to find this out.
1t will give us infinite pleasure to
see the Democracy of this Territory
recognize the merits and modesty of a
man who won't blow his own horn,
nor mention himself MS a candidate for
Congress, when everybody else knows
he Is almost dying for the nomination.
We sincerely desire to see such n man
nominated by the unterrified. He
will give tone to the party. Such po-
litical PETERS as Pease, Steele, Murrin.
KuykendalI, Andrews, Holiday,

The Murder of Our Citizens.

In about every tissue of the LEADER
we are compelled to chronicle the
murder of some of our citizens by the
sayages who infest our borders. bay
after day tae telegraph brings 10 Us
the particulars Of horrible atrocities
committed upon the people OF Wyom-
ing and Dakota by the fiendish and
blood-seeking Indians. whom the Gov
ernnent under so-ealled treaty stipu-
lations, is feeding and supporting with
the most generous liberaliiy. The very
Indians who partake daily Of the
bounty of the great nation at their
agencies. are found among the hordes
who waylay Ihe traveller to the mines,
surprise the miner in his camp. and
| who now threaten 10 kill or drive out
of the northern country the hardy pio-
neers and industrious miners who
have reclaimed the northern country
from the possession of the barbarians.
Our people are anxiously asking the
question: Will not this powerful Gov
eminent protect its citizens against the
savages? VIII 1t moi use its mighty
military arm to teach these murderous
devils that they cannot forever, and
with impunity, rob and murder our
people, without receiving the reward
of their periidy and outrages? Let
not the cry for protection and help be
made in vain the wailings of the
widow and the fatherless are already
heard on this frontier: the Government
must protect its people, no matter
whether residents of the States or Ter
ritories.
The several expeditions now about
TO start against the northern Sioux, II IL
claimed by some. will be the means of
putting n stop to Indian depredations.
This we do not believe; on the contra-
ry, when Generals Crook, Terry and
Gibbons and their forces shall have
entered the Sioux country, and during
the months they will he employed in
hunting. Indians in the Yellowstone
and Big Horn country, our entire
frontier from North Platte to the
Sweetwater will be exposed TO the ma
rauding savages, who will be certain
to scourge this country. and unhinder-
ed by any United States forces that are
likely to remain at the few posts to
guard the Government property.
What steps should then he taken by
the Government to provide ample pro-
lection for people? There IS only
one policy To he pursued, and that is
to increase the military force in the
department by at least one or two reg
iments; 10 place one regiment in or
lear Custer City and n sufficiently
large command between Fort Laramie
and the Black Hills to protect the
travel and keep open communication
between Cheyenne. the base OF sup
plies for the northern country. and the
several mining camps in the Hills.
If the army of the United States
is not adequate to furnish the addition
al force. then let the Government arm
and equip the men on this frontier (of
whom thousands stand ready to vol
u~nteer) and we Will guarantee a thor
ough and speedy settlement of the
whole Indian question Mt n very small
cost to the country. Our pioneers
have something more than thirteen
dollars a month at stake in the matter,
to call upon in this extremity.
