seize horses or levy on defenseless farmers to
supply their exhausted commisssriat. In
the chase several of the pursuers have been
arrested, and ono or two wounded, being
mistaken for the common foe. They have
been oyertaken several times, but after brush
with their pursuers have always managed to
elude them and get fresh start. 1t remained
for little band which started out on the 2ist
inst. from Madelia, some twenty miles SOUTH
west of Mankato, to bring the rascals down,
and they did their work with promptness
which does them great credit. The robbers
were pursued to the banks Of the Watonwan
river, where they turned at bay, and after q
brisk fight one Of their number was killed,
two others badly wounded, and the fourth
forced to surrender. OF the pursuers two
we're wounded, but their hurts are not at all
serious. The robbers, it is said, have confessed
that they are the Younger band.
A frightful accident occurred fow days ago
on the Pan Handle railroad twelve miles from
Columbus. The train was running at rate of
perhaps forty miles an hour, when, from some
cause or other, four cars Of the train jumped
the track and rolled down the embankment,
thirty feet high. Six persons we're killed, and
thirty or forty wounded, some of them go
riously.
The big talk" at the Red Cloud Agency be-
tween the Sioux Commission and the head men
of that unruly mob of savages was finished on
the 22d of September and at the expiration of
the confab the treaty composed by the COM

the Black Hills country, was signed by the chiefs
OF the Ogalalla band.

The three bank robbers captured at Madelia,
Mimi, have been identified by the Chief OF
Police of st. Louis as Cole Younger, Bob
Younger and AL Carter. Carter is Texas des-
perado, and has seldom worked with the
Younger gang. Tho man killed at Madelis is
identified as Charley Pitts. He is probably the
one who killed Cashier Haywood. The two
killed at Mortified are certainly Clell Miller

The city of Savannah, Ga, is still suffering
terribly from the scourge Of yellow fever, and
nothing but cooler weather is left for the
afflicted people to hope for. The city il al
most depopulated, everybody having fed who
could get away.
The yellow-fever visitation at Brunswick,
Ga, is one Of awful severity. More than one
half the entire population have been stricken
down by the fearful plague, and the number of
those not yet attacked is not sufficient to attend
to the sick and dying. Business is suspended,
industry is parayzed, and among the poor
people there is immediate danger that general
starvation will be added to the horrors OF the
situation.
