Cattle Thieves Corralied.

Some of the cattle thieves who have
been raiding the Platte valley, are liza
BILE to meet soon with their just de-
serts. Several of them were arrested
Wednesday at Shelby station, on the
Union Pacific road, where they pre-
sented between two and three hundred
cattle for shipment. The cattle had
evidently been stolen from herds along
the Platte bottoms, as they bore the
brands of Judd Brush, Lyman Cole,
James Wilson, ]. W. Tiff and others.
Several of the parties interested have
gone to Shelby station, and consider
able talk of summary justice was in
dulged in about that time. 1t would
probably be no injury to the country if
some of the numerous cattle thieves get
a touch of rough usage.

The Indian War in Arizona.

The general situation in southwest
ern and southeastern Arizona is of the
most alarming character, the Apaches
having almost depopulated the fertile
Sonita valley and driven off the inhabi-
tants of the ranches. The Governor
has telegraphed the situation as it now
stands to the Secretary of Wir, and
besides that addressed a message to the
territorial assembly, informing it of
the situation, and asking for an appro-
priation for the purpose of raising vol
unteer companies. In response to his
message the assembly appropriated
SO, 900, and in addition to that a vol
unteer company has been raised at Tue
son, under the leadership of San Car
los, the great Indian fighter. On Feb.
10th a large force of Apaches attacked
a party of Yellow Jacket miners near
Tubac, and killed three of them-Con
Ryan, Dutch Martin and Jack Chitson.
They also attacked the Sopert ranch a
day later, and killed three men whose
names are not known.
Advices from Camp Crittenden SAY
the Apaches recently attacked that post
and killed ten men, besides running off
a large number of cattle. The names
of but two of the men are known
Casablanced and Jose Bulado. Quite a
pitched battle was fought there, but
the Indian loss is not known. The set
tiers on the Sonita valley are in a bad
way, as several ranches have not been
heard from, owing to the large number
of Indians around them, and fears are
entertained that the whole valley will
have to be abandoned unless help is
sent Immediately. Lieut.. Rucker is
now out with a company of cavalry
and some Indian scouts.

OREGON MiHer's Mind Gone.

Geo. L. Miller, editor of the Omaha
Herald, has, or did have, many friends
throughout the west, but he has gradu-
ally alienated all of them, and now
stands alone, an I~shmaelite, whose
hand is against every man. We have
long believed that Miller's brain is af-
fected, and were really saddened to
learn, as we did on yesterday, from
prominent Omaha gentlemen, that
Miller is suffering from ~softening of
the brain, and slowly sinking into a
hopeless, helpless imbecility. His
is not violent, he is allowed to have his
way, which accounts for the erratic
course of the paper.

Gen. Crook has ordered the imme-
date withdrawal Of the few troops
which have been stationed on the So
called Sidney route to the Black Hills,
and hereafter Mr.. Lo will have his own
way with the few foolhardy men who
travel by that route.
The weekly and very weakly stage
line which has been attempting to run
between Sidney, Red Cloud and Custer,
has been Withdrawn.
The great smallpox epidemic which
now prevails at Sidney, and the fact
that no measures have been taken to
prevent its ravages, has caused the rail-
road company to order that hereafter
no trains shall stop at Sidney unless it
becomes absolutely necessary in order
to replenish the wood or water supply,
and then only for the briefest period.
The Sidney route is abandoned.

Do our readers know what the estaN>
lishment of a mail route to Deadwood


lishment of a mail route to Deadwood
and intermediate points means?
1t means that from the moment a
mail coach starts from Cheyenne or
DeaIwood, that coach is under the pro-
lection of the Government, and must
be kept safe from all danger in the
shape of hostile Indians.
1t means that from the day the mail
service begins, every mile, and every
foot, and every inch of the road from
this city to Deadwood is under the pro-
lection of the Government, and must
be guarded and kept free from Indian
raiders, and all other depredators.
1t means that the Cheyenne route is
now land it has always been) the safest
route to the Black Hills, its perfect
STIFFNESS being hereafter guaranteed.
1t means many other things, all. of
which benefit Cheyenne, and will soon
become apparent.

Garrotinq at Sidney,

Last Friday night a merchant named
Oberfeld, formerly of Omaha, while
standing on the platform of Rumsey's
railroad eating-house, at Sidney, was
knocked down by a r%ufian, whose COM
panion then seized Oberfield by the
heels and held him up, head downward,
while No. l was picking his pockets.
Oberield's yells brought assistance
from the train men, when the robbers
sauntered away. Several Sidneyites
who stood by began threatening the
train men, but did not modest them I'M
til the train started, when they smashed
nearly all the lights in the caboose, and
severely injured one brakeman, who
was struck over the head with a coup
ling pin. Sidney is a nice place.

The Postmaster General to-day or
dered the immediate extension of mail
service to Custer, Deddwood and inter
mediate points, orcr the Cheyenne route.
H. CLAICHE.
Major Glafcke left here on the 21st of
February, for Washington, his mission
being to secure at the earliest possible
date the extension of mail service to the
Black Hills over the Cheyenne and
Black Hills stage line. He arrived in
Washington on Monday last, Feb. 26th,
and at once set about the good work.
He secured the immediate and hearty
cooperation of Senators Teller and
Chaffee, of Colorado, Delegate Steele,
and other prominent and influential
gentlemen, and his efforts were inces-
SAINT and undated until the anxiously
awaited and very welcome order was
issued by Postmaster General Tyner.
Although the dispatch announcing
the joyful news does not so state, we are
confident that the extension ordered is
an extension of the daily mail service
from Hat Creek, (about 100 miles north
of Fort Laramie, to which point the
G. & B. II. Stage Co. began running a
daily mail line on the LIST of March, it
having been ordered by the Department.
