country is bad, it viii not be possible for
me to 70 there. As far as the Missouri river
country, think if my people should move
there TO live they would all be destroyed.
There is . great many bad men there and
bad whisky, therefore don't want to 60
there. A great many Of my relatives have
no money. and if they are employed TO 60

money Of the Great Father that you have
with you.

the pen in his hand, and, as he made his
mark, said, 'that is to signify that the
Great Father had fed and clothed me for a
hundred years, and given me wagons and
cattle"
Fire Hunter them came up, holding a
blanket over his eyes, and signed, blind

SAD r. r. ACCIDENT.
COLUMBUS, O., September GA fright
full accident occurred at an early hour this
morning at Blacklick Station, on the Pan
Handle road, about IL miles from this city.
A train was running at the rate OF 40 miles
an hour, when, from some cause, four cars
iumped the track and rolled down the en-
bankment, which is some twenty five or
thirty feet high at that place. The engine,
baggage car and mail car remained on the
track, while those in the rear went of. In
telligence was at once sent to this city, and
in few minutes . wreckipg train and
- h. ~ ska or<-r.
dent, and every attention given the injured.
The killed and wounded were brought to
the Union depot, from whence the wounded
were removed to hotels. Physicians re-
sponded promptly, and were this morning
administering TO the wants of their patients
in the confusion which prevailed.
1t is Lard to get the names OF the killed
and wounded. Four persons are known to
have been killed outright, two men and two
children. One of the killed is . son of S.
2. Bennett, of Cairo, ILL.,, Lizzie Bancroft,
Of Philadelphia, u child three years old and
one of the men is said to be from ST. Losis,
and another from Hamilton, Ohio. Of the
wounded no idea can be given of the num-
Der. Many of them took the regular trains
at the depot and departed for their homes.
1t is variously estimated that there must
have been between thirty and forty who
were more or less injured. Some Of the
wounds were slight while others are serious,
many Of the injuries being about the head
and portions of the body. In addition TO
those reported killed must be added VIM.
Kneeling, supposed to be from Cincinnati,
and Isaac Thornton, of Van Meter, Iowa.
A visit to the place of the accident shows
that the track was strait at that point, and
that the road was laid with steel rail, and
the wheels of all the cars we're tested and
found to be all sound. What caused the
accident is az yet my s.ery.
After a tour among the hotels where the
persons injured In the railroad accident,
this forenoon, are being cared for, and from
gathered from Trustworthy
sources, the following can be considered

ROBBERS CAPTURED.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, September 2l.-The |
Pioneer Press" has a special from Made |
ia announcing the capture of four of the |
Mortified robbers. The four captured are |
Mankato, two OF whom are supposed to be
he Younger brothers. The dispatch says
he four missing robbers went to house at
a. m. to-day, about seven miles north of
lere, bought some bread and butter,
md started west on foot. The news
vas sent in as fast as q horse could
ravel Forty or fifty men were after them
Is soon as they could get horses and arms
| hey drove them about eight miles north
If here, they then had them out on the
prairie and opened fire upon them. The
robbers returned the Ere, but kept working
owards the river and at last got there and
hid in the bushes. By this time our men
we're all together and surrounded the brush
n which the robbers were in. Firing be-
anne general, our men advancing all the
lime. At last the robbers saw there was no
lse and gave up. One was killed and the
,ther three wounded. The one that was
imposed to be Cole Younger il wounded
,adly in the hand and back. 1t is thought
hat one and perhaps two will die of
heir wounds. A special from
sioux City, says the two robbers Who were
hased into Dakota, were overtaken BY the
.itizens' posse, six miles above Yankton to-
lay: The robbers, when sighted, turned and
ired, vounding one of the pur,uers horses,
nd then took to the woods, and we're again
oct track Of the hunt is bling continued,
nd it is thought it will surely end in run
ing the band down.
LArER-The wounded f,bbers have con-
sesed to the Sheriff havirg Them in charge.
hat they are the Younger brothers, but re-
nse to give tie name of their dead COM
