whose trains and passengers had been
rescued from the hands of the bandits by
his acts, could not do other wis, than
maxi a proper acknowledgment, and
would do SO in a name which would
reject honor to the two great orpora-
tons, and at the same time be a lust
reward to Mr.. Ross. A few weeks ago
he was sent a pass to visit San Francisco,
and while there, we learn, he was feast
ed and cared for as a guest should be, and
the visit proved a pleasant one to him.
Mr.. Charles Croker, who is a great ad-
mIrer OF MI. Ross, presented him with a
check from his own private funds,
amounting to $3.50. This, we are told, is
all that Mr.. Ross has eve received, ex-
cept that Wells, Fargo & Co. continued
his salary and paid his doctor bills dur
ing the time be was off duty. The state
ment that the Central Pacific had pre-
sented him with a SIS, 000check, has been
denied by Mr.. Ross, who says no such
gift has been made him. His fellow
messengers surprised him at Reno the
other evening by presenting him with a
$50 revolver.

CREE RAID.
,:ue Head Of Stock Cattle Killed by Brit
,sh Subjects at Willow Coulee,
Near the Marlas.

From J. G. Dunlap, range rider for
tbe Sun River stock association, who ar
lived in the city yesterday, we learn
.hot ~narties of the Crees are still on this
lido Of the line, killing cattle and COM
lifting other depredations--a work in
,,hich they have fully proven them
selves experts.
On the 9th inst. Little Dog and a
email party (Piegans) discovered a party
Of Crees at Willow ~coulee, about three
ohove Spencer's ranch and some twenty
miles below Kipp's. Not being able to
cope with the subjects Of John Bull, who
numbered the Piegans three to one,
Little Dog and party rode down to
snencer's to give the alarm. On the
morning OF the next day the Indians,
accompanied by Mr.. Dunlap and one OF
two other white men, sailed forth to the
Cree camp, but they were too late. The
enemy had gone, taking with them the
desirable portion of the meat Of five
rood steers they had killed in the inn
mediate vicinity Of the camp. An ex-
animation Of the hides showed hat two
Of the slaughtered cattle belonged to Mr..
Auchard and the others to the Benton
&St. Louis cattle company.
As near us could be learned, the party
number between fifteen and twenty, and
thev had fortified themselves on an ele-
yation near the camp and in such a per-
feet manner that, if they had stood their
ground, it would have taken a large
party and long contest to drive them
rom their position. The programme
they had marked out was evidently de-
teated by the fortunate appearance on
the scene of Little Dog and his band.
Their purpose beyond question, Mr..
Dunlap thinks, was to provide them
selves with an abundance of. meat and
then swoop down upon Mr.. Spencer
