THROWN FROM TIE TRACK
FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED on
TIE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
The Fireman ard Brakeman Killed
Outright-NO Clew to the
Perpetrators.

KANSAS Cry, No, April 26.-An
incoming freight train on the Missouri
Pacific raj road was wrecked at 4
O'Clock this morning, between Wyan-
dotte and this city, near Kaw river
bridge. Spikes had been removed
from the raj S on a curve, and when
the train approached The engine and
four freight cars went off the
track down a low embankment. The
engine rolled Over and stopped, bot
tom side up, at tie waters edge. Ben
Horton, fireman, and Geo. Carlysle,
brakeman. were killed outright. En-
gineer j. ii. Fowler was thrown into
the river and seriously injured. No
clew as TO the identity of the perpe-
traitors Of the outrage has as yet been
obtained.
LGter.-The scene Of the wreck is
about two miles from this city. The
Missouri Pacific track there skirts the
bluffs, which line is on the west bank
OF Kansas river, and passes under the
street bridge which connects Wyan'
dotte and Kansis City. Engineer
Fowler says that he slackened the
speed on approaching the bend of the
river, keeping a sharp lookout. AS
the train passed under the bridge il
was going about six miles per hour
He saw several men in a group appa
rently W tching for something to hap
pen. The engineer reached for {
rifle that ne carried, and just then the
train struck the loosened rails. HI
reversed his engine and jumped off
landing at the waters edge. The fire
IA n was caught under the engine an,
was killed, his body being recovered
at 8 o'clock. The brakeman who wa
on the forward car was carried dowI
and was also crushed to death. Thu
! wrecking train is busy clearing thu
track. 1t is reported that a MAJ
named Converse, who was among tn,
crowd of spectators on the bluff
above the track, fell over the buff to
day and was fatally injured. 1t il
also said that three men we're seel
going rapidly up the track after tn,
accident, and refusing to halt werl
fired upon by the watchmen anC
deputies, but without effect, and tn,
fugitives made for the woods and es
capped.

EVIDENTLY MEANS BUSINESS.
Gen. MiIes's Plan for Running
Down the Indians.

CHICAGO, ILL, April ga special
dispatch from Fort Bowie, Ariz., says
Gen. Miles has issued general field
orders distributing territory for thor
ough patrolmont A signal detach-
ment will be kept on topof the high
est peaks to communicate the move
ments of the hostiles, and between
the camps infantry will be in con-
slant hunting through the mountains,
occupying passes, etc. A sufficient
number OF reliable Indians will be re-
tanned for t~railers, etc. Cavalry will
be used in light scouting, with a sufIi-
cient force always ready for instant
vigorous pursuit to overcome the hos
tile advantage in relay horses. Com
manders will dismount half their men
and send their light and best riders in
pursuit till all the animals are worn
out. This command should in forty.
eight hours catch the hostiles or drive
them $50 or 200 miles into country
favorable for cavalry, and horses will
be trained for the purpose. Com
handing officers will thoroughly learn
the topography OF the section under
their charge, and must continue the
pursuit. till the Indians are captured
or till a fresh command is on their
trail. All camp movements will be
concealed as much as possible, to pre-
vent the hostiles getting ammunition.
Every cartridge will be accounted for
and all empty shells destroyed. Field
reports must be made thrice monthly.

The Eight-nOur Agitation at Boston

NKw York, April ga special to
the Sun from Boston says: A strug-
Gle of the most serious p%oItent is about
to begin in this vicinity over the eight
hour movement. The hope Of the
Central Trades and Labor Unions oftbe
speedy aCquiescence by q large pro-
portion Of employers in the experl'
ment poves groundless. In accord
ance with plans made q year ago, the
demand for eight hours was to be en-
forced ON May LIST. In view OF tue
disturbed condition OF lsbor through
out the country, it was recently deter
mined TO limit the demand to the
building trades, including carpenters,
masonR. PAINTERS, decorators, etc, The
| Central Trades and Labor Unions re-
Gently made public many favorable
REPLIES which we're received from en-
ployers in answer TO questions cent
out. This has resulted in an address,
published to-day, signed by 1875 en-
ployers in building trades. The ad.
dress states: Employers oflabor, hav-
ing read in the public press that the
sentiment OF the builders favored the
v'eht. hour movement, and mindful
oil th. interests Of the public as
well as me needs and we'll
being Of their employees, desire
10 say that they are not prepared to
indorse the question CT eight hours az
the measure of a days work. It's re.
suits are too fAr-ieAching 10 permit a
hasty judgment, and the advance Of %
per cent. in cost oilabor in the several
occupations represented by us ia too
sweeping in its consequences to be
adopted by any community without
gre 1t deliberation, both on the part OF
the employed as we ! as the employ
ers. On the question Of a reduction OF
the number OF hours which constitute
a day, from the present standard OF
ten houTs to a standard Of either nine
or eight hours, we would express the
following opinion; The principal ar
gument in favor OF such a change, as
far az we can learn, appears to be
based upon the general ground %otover-
production. This argument, in our
mind, has no application to our
branches OF labor and cannot fairly be
distorted to meet them. There is no
overstock and can be no overstock OF
the goods We produce. We simply
work up to the demand and never be-
yond it. The supply is not and can
not be beyond the demand as far as we
are concerned. The argument that
there is an oversupply OF men does
not obtain, aud has in our mind no
weight, for the reason that a reduction
in the hours Of labor would in no
way put into employment a larger
number of men; 1t would simply keep
the same number of men that il is now
possible to employ at work a greater
number Of days, and so that argument

Some time has elapsed since We last
appeared in the columns Of THE CHIEF
Since then we have made a trip 10 the
western line Of the state n eastern
Wyoming to select a homestead on
the public lands. We purchased a
land ticket at Kearney to Kimball
and return for $3.50, but extended
our journey to Pine Bluffs in Wyom-
ing owe the u. z. road. The country
seemed to be fully settled as far west
as Colorado junction. West of that
point there is plenty Of government
land. The railway follows the Platte
bottoms to North Platte, where it
leaves tn, river and follows the divide
between the North AID South Platte.
From that point it is high rolling
prairie to Cheyenne. The soil is a
gravellv loan, very easy of cultivation
The country has been used As a cattle
range, and but little farming has been
done, but enough has been done to
demonstrate the fact that the soil is
fertile and productive. The Bay State
Cattle Co, purchased a large tract of
railway land in Cheyenne county and
have been using it for a cattle rancho,
but the rapid settlement of the gov
eminent lands has rendered n change
necessary. They have built a land
office NJ kimball and are now bringing
their lands into market, and will re-
nov their cattle TO other parts. The
influx OF emigrants is enormous; the
rush has been to ''Pumpkin-seed
Valley about 50 miles north Of Kim
ball. We did not have time TO visit
the Valley Us we found claim, nea
kimball. All the settlers We saw
moving out We're enthusiastic over
their settlement. Over loo families
were located here in one day. The
climate Vas much milder there the
past winter than here. Cattle lived all
winter on the range without hay, and
looked quite as. well rs here.
Local items scarce.
A wedding is anticipated.
A number of railway teams are
seen vending their way TO the grade
west Of Blue Hill.
A new lumber yard has been opened
on the farm of Nr. Budlong in the an
ticipa,ion of the iepo. The road is
expected 10 be ready for use by next
September; as a consequence land has
advanced and several sales have been
made.

If there is one thing above another
that is decidedly to the interest of Red
Cloud, it is the fact that the hills and
dales called roads. leading to this city
should be made passable, so the farm.
ers could be able to get to this city with
a load. A few hundred dollars would
do the work well and il is the opinion
of The CHIEF that the repairing of the
roads is ID Of the most needy pro
jects and of greater interest to Red
Cloud than most anything else except
railroads. 1t is an actual fact that the
fencing of farms Owe the county has
thrown the roads on to section lines in
many places, making them in many
places a barrier to the trading public
who wish to visit and trade in Red
Cloud. We hope the matter will be
looked after. Good BRIDGES and good
roads are very desirable adjuncts TO
the city's trade. Point 0 ary road
leading ; Rec Cloud and we will show
you one that should be made more
suitable to travel over. And the mer-
chants Of Red Cloud are more inter
ested in this cause than anyone else
and ought to move in the matter
promptly, We think.
