A TRUE BILL.-The news reached here
last Saturday that the federal grand
jury at Fort Smith had found an indict-
ment against Mr.. 7. X. knight in con-
nection with the killing Of st. John.
Surprise and regret were manifested on
all sides as such termination Of the
matter had never been contemplated
for a moment. 1t was generally be-
lieved that as 81. John was resisting
the officers in the discharge Of positive
orders, they would be exonerated from
all blame. The more was this ex-
pected because of the character and
reputation borne by the man-which
were the very worst. His friends II
appears have raised fund and are
making every effort for conviction, and
swore TO certain things which might
land them in prison for perjury. Col.
Clayton has been employed for the
prosecution at 81 900 with 81 800 more
conditional upon conviction. The re-
port is that the Chickasaw nation pro-
poses to defray all expenses Of the de-
fense. There 10 no idea but what our
friend will finally come out all right
but the annoyance Of a case OF this kind
cannot but be trying In the extreme.
Mr.. knight reached here Monday, hay-
ing been released from custody on a
q $4,000 bond, to appear in November.
