Among the excited crowd that besieg-
ed the Office of the Helena (MOntana)
Independent for news concerning the Ute
outbreak there stood q tall, handsome

within q few feet of them. Laefarr
noosed q rope, placed it in the mouth Of
the nearest horse and leaping upon the
animals back, lunged his spurs into the
flank. As he Rugged his horse he saw
his six companions 60 down, q after
the other. One bullet out of the hundred
that followed him tore through his neck,
another cut . deep furrow across bill

the machinery was settled on such .
certain yet simple plan, that the chariot
in . twinkling disappeared, and every
soldier Was 1t the instant armed. 1t
was thus managed: Each man having
his particular duty anigned to him, laid
his hands ON different parts of the

THE SEYMOUR MYSTERY,
COrOner's Inquest.

New York, July l2.-The inquest
into the shooting of John +. Seymour,
brOther-in-law of Bishop Seymour, began
to-day. Many persons were present, be-
sides thirty-three witnesses. The testi-
money of Melancthon Boyd Woolsey, a
student in the seminary, was as follows:
He was aroused late in the night by the
screaming OF female, and jumped up
and opened the shutters and heard two
or three voices. The first words he
heard were, "Shut your mouth" in the
voice of man. Then followed the cry
of Murder from woman; then a
woman ran down the path along
Twenty-frst street toward Ninth ave-
nue., nearly opposite his window. Some
one called out "Catch her" and she
then ran back. The woman then cried
out, students, come out He dressed
himself and went out and few people
gathered about Seymour's body.
bishop Seymour told the story ot The
finding OF the body of his brother-in-law.
Paul Strecke's tutor affirmed that the
boy only fired blank cartridge from
the seminary window, and other wit
nesses testified to seeing firing from the
window.
The Jury returned the following YER
dict: "That Mr.. Seymour came To his
death from a pistol shot wound acci-
dentally received at the hands of some
person unknown, in the grounds Of the
Theological Seminary, on the night OF
July 3rd.

BUFORD'S TRIAL.
The Evidence All In.

OwESroN, KY, July l2.- Court as
sembled at 8 O'Clock. The session was
occupied in examining witnesses for the
prosecution. l.. ID. Holloway testified
as TO the threats made against Judges
Elliott and Pryor, il his case was deeid-
ell against him. The defense will not
offer testimony before Tuesday.
OwRNroY, XIV, July l2.-Court reas.
sembled at p. NJ, several witnesses for
the prosecution being sworn and by
o'clock all the testimony for the prose
cution was complete.
Major Stanton, of the Kentucky Yeo-
man, for the prosecution was one OF the
first TO testify. He said: Saw Buford a
few minutes before the shooting; he
said he intended to 90 snipe shooting,
but had given 1t up; "met Judge Elliott,
asked him if he would 20 snipe shoot
ing; | asked him 10 take drink and then
shot him; thought l would treat him
with as much courtesy as he showed
my sister when he robbed and mur-
dered her. swore | would gain the
SUIT or die with her."
This, with the testimony OF few
others which corroborated the above,
closed the case for the State, and Judge
Curtis presented the case for the de-
tense. He was, however, taken sud-
denly i'll from the effects OF the heat,
which abruptly terminated his speech.
General Abe Buford was sworn. His
testimony was chiefly regarding heredi-
tary insanity, and showed that the fam
lily, from the intermarriage OF cousins,
were generally affected.
This, with evidence of an uninterest-
ing nature, closed the case and the court
adjourned till Monday.
