IsPEcIAL 10 ruE SENTINEL
FoRr Benton, March 2S.-News was re-
ceived by a messenger from Fort Conrad
on the 1sth that 10 work ken were found
butehered on the plains, evidently the
work OF Indians. Several men were dis-
patched to bring in 3 herd Of IS horses
! About 9 o'clock in the evening the men
came upon a war party of Crees and ez-
changed shots with them. Tit men re-
turned as quietly as possible and reported.
Joel Brickett Brady and war party of 20
Pigeons, headed by Little Dog, started In
pursuit about daybreak. They struck the
Cree camp and had s lively fight. Two
Crees were killed and scalped, and their
arms captured. The rest of the band were
put TO fight. Two Pigeons were wounded.
The Creas numbered between $50 and 200.
They are following down the Marios River,
killing cattle as they go. Grave fears are
entertained for the safety Of the settlers.
The Indians captured abopt40 horses from
a band in the vicinity Of Fort Conrad, and
probably picked up many more. Since
leaving that point their plan Is evidently
10 make & sudden raid, kill as much meat
as possible, steal q band Of horses and re-
cross the line.
Opposed 4 Railroad Legislation.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March &c. P.
Huntington telegraphed from New York
today 10 Col. E. Cole: l am informed
that there is legislation proposed in Ten
nessee which, If enacted into q law, would
take the control from the owners of rail
road property. I should never invest an
other dollar in a State in that kind Of prop
erty if it was treated differently from other
property. I cannot believe that any law
will be passed discriminating against rail
road property in a State, when such prop
ertv is more conducive to The best inter
ests of the State than almost any other.
l think sill parties in this city feel az l do
in relation to this matter, and really hope
such legislation will not be enacted.
Huntington has bnilt a railroad in West
Tennessee, and has proposed to construct
| the Cincinnati Green, Lin and the Nash
Vile, but with the passage OF the Railroad
Commission bin we may expect nothing.
