A Prisoner Among the Indians.
ST. LOUIS, July 11.-Parties just arrived
here from chihuahua, Mexico, say that
papers we're found in the road near the
place where Thomas Pugh was captured
by the Indians, when they attacked the
stage, some 40 miles below Ell Paso, several
days ago. The paper bore these words,
written by Mr.. Pugh under a prominent
headline: "Take notice. The finder OF
this is entitled to 500 by delivering it to
Mormon & Co., Chihuahua. | am a prls-
oner among the Indians. Do what you can
for me-" The paper was dated 3 O'Clock
in the morning. 1t is thought that II mr.
Pugh is in the hands of Victoria's Indians,
he is being held as a hostage or in exchange
for several Indians now in the hands OF the
Mexican authorities at Chihuahua. 1t is
further thought that the Mexioans would
exchange some Indian children they mold
for Mr.. Pugh, but it is doubtful whether
they would give up the prisoners.
A Great Libel Cas-
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Times London
special says: All England is occupied at
present with a great libel case. The plain
tiff is a Miss Wilberforce. She claims to
have been born in San Francisco, and to
have a large fortune, which is managed by
Perry Morton Of indianapolis, Indiana.
She has been on the witness stand three
days, and relates the history of her wan
behring's all over Europe. She sues a prom
inent citizen, named Phillips, for having
said that she poisoned her father, and that
she was an adventures and swindler. The
plaintiff has contradicted herself a hundred
times in her testimony, and will probably
be prosecuted for perjury and sent to
prison.
