The PLuNDERED IsDIAN.-The ras.
c%alities of the Indian ring have at last
driven the wretchcd Bannaks to war.
Even General Crook, a staunch Indian
fighter, admits that they have been
shamefully swindled and driven to &C
tual starvation. These Indians who
were u allies as against the Pi Utes
and the Sioux, are now driven by des.
peration to the plumber of the whites.
They have taken position in the lava
beds, and the drcary story Of Captain
Jack and Scar-faced Charley will have
TO be told once more.

RADICALLY TRUE-The Boston Post
AYERS that it is plainly evident from
