CHEYENNE OUTRAGEs.
Two or Three Men Murdered and
Women Made Captives.

DURANGO, June 23.-A messenger from
Dolores Valley arrived here yesterday af-
ternoon, He says that the Indians killed
neighbOr named Genther, seriously
wounded his wife, and burned his house,
barns, haystacks, etc. The messenger
confirms the report that cowboys had
killed six Of family of Indians. A young
buck, who belonged to the same family,
was returned, but escaped and came to
the agency at lgnaclo and told his story,
and Immediately 250 warriors came tn the
agency and demanded revenge. Agent
st0llstein pacifed them by agreeing to 20
with % Of their men TO Fort Lewis, there
to get an escort of soldiers, and then to
proceed to the scene Of the trouble, in
vestlgate the whole affair, and bring back
the bodies of their dead comrades. Ac-
cordingly the agent and Indians passed
through here yesterday morning en- route
to Fort Lewis.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
Another messenger arrived here last
night, bringing a report that party of
Indians met Joe Dougherty, brother of
Capt. Dougherty, Of the Twenty
cavalry, now stationed at Fort Lewis,
while on his way home near Mitchell
springs, and killed him and carried his
wife into captivity. Capt. Perrine, who
was in camp in Mentesun valley, with
three companies, sent Capt. Dougherty
with his command TO the scene of the
murder. 1t is stated that the commander
of Fort Lewis, hearing Of the action of
Capt. Perrine, Immediately sent a
company Of cavalry to inter-
cept Capt. pougherty, fearing
that he might lose his Judgment and seek
revenge for the death of his brother and
the captivity OF his wife, who is a daugh-
ter of Mr.. Mitchell, of Mitchell Springs,
with whom Capt. DougheTty's children
were staying during the absence of their
parents. There are many conflicting
stories as to who commenced the trouble.
The cowboys claim that IL was the In
dians, while on the other hand the In
dams and their agent accuse the cowboys
of carrying out their threat to kill all the
Indians they find OF the reservation.
Troops are arriving, and the Indians will
probably scatter and return TO the reser-
YatiOn.
THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, June 23-The War De-
partment is in receipt Of a telegram from
Col. Bradley, confirming the press reports
Of fighting between cowboys and Indians
near Fort Lewis.

MOUNT MCGREGoR, N. Y, June 3D.
Gen. Grant has been here one week to-
day. DR.. Douglas gave it as his opin-
ion that if Gen. Grant had not been
removed from New York he would not be
alive now. He was rapidly sinking there,
but the cool, bracing mountain air has
invigorated him very much. The
temperature at midnight was As,
and at O'Clock this morning
"A degrees. This necessitates precaution
against the patient taking cold. He
sleeps well, although not for long periods.
Between 10 O'Clock and ] o'clock to-day,
which time he spent in the parlor, the
General had dictated matter equal to 10
pages of nis book. The dictatiOn was In
a whisper, but was sufficiently audible
FOR his stenOgrapher to understand.

An Able Argument and CIews Driven
into a Corner.
ALBANY, N. Y, June 23.-Hon. n. j.
Hammond, member of Congress and ex-
Attorney General of Georgia, made an
elaborate argument before Deputy At
torney General Poste yesterday afternoon
IN relation to the bonds Of Georgia. He
claimed tnat none of the bonds of the
State had been repudlated, except about
$150,000 which had been paid once, and
which Henry Clews d Co. held as collateral
with the understanding that they were
not to be paid. The bonds were traced to
j. NJ. Guiteau, lawyer in the employ Of
Mr.. Clews. who declined to give the his
tory of their possession, claiming that it
was a professional secret. Mr.. Ham
mond's argument was to the effect that
Georgia was solvent and that the new
bonds ought to be allowed for investments
by savings banks of this State. 1t is
thought here that the Attorney General
will decide otherwise.
