SIOUX CITY, To-, March 29.-Accurate
measurements taken to-day shows that
the river has fallen eight inches during
the past twenty-four hours. The gorge
opposite Prospect hill is rapidly disap-
pearing. The channel in front of the
city is open, and as the ice breaks off
the gorge it flows unObstructed down
the river. Private dispatches say that
although the gorge at the mouth of the
Big Sioux, five miles above here, still
holds, it is weak and rotten, and very
little warm weather will cause it to
move. Dispatches from Elk Point say
that the water is rising slowly,
and that the gorge above Yank-
ton has partially given away. and
that the water is escaping from
above. The ferry boat began making
regular troops to-day, and the transfer
boat of the Omaha road will start as
soon as the danger is past, so that piles
can be driven for landing. Commune
cation with the Nebraska shore by boat
will again be cut off when the breakup
above occurs and the ice begins to float

been, owing to the absence of Judge

therefore, remain under arrest or in

OF the most contention is that the state
claims Pitcher was, under a verbal
agreement between Oxford and the Off
Ger, left by the officer in the custody of
Oxford, his attorney, and while there es-
capped. On this Oxford is charged with
aiding and assisting the prisoner to es-
cape. But his defense is in part that
there was no proof that the escape was
had with his knowledge, advice or as
sistance-leaving it on point of law to
be decided as to whether his neglect to
turn the prisoner over to the officer
again makes him liable for any crime.

Warrior is q town of about $500 inhab-

in a healthy locality, on the S. V. N. r.
R. and Black Warrior River, s(from
which it took its name,) twenty.three
miles north of Birmingham, sixty miles
south of DECATUR and right2in the midst
of the Warrior coal fields.
Seven companies are interested in the
mining products of the place, and there
are more than three times that number
of entries from which, coal is brought.
The mines in the Warrior coal field gives
employment to-, six. Or eight hundred
men. The capacity Of these mines is
about one thoutand tons Of: coal daily,
which is got out at a cost Of seventy FIVE
cents per ton. Some of these mines
carry on brick works in connection with
the mines,. obtaining the clay from the
bottom of the mines. And just here I
would like to: mention that Mr.. D. s..
Fisher, the gentleman who made the
brick from which your National Bank is
built, has controls ofzthe brick works at
the Coaldale Mines The miners make
from So to $500 per day, taking out
from three to eight tons of coal per day.
a number .-of men are employed by
each mine for the purpose of carrying
the trans ofscoal out, weighing it and
dumping it into the Il. r cars, running
machinery, laying track, ETC., and these
'get;from 81 80 to $500 per day.
