From the scarcity of local news ,oar-
ing the past week, it would appear that
every thing is held in allegiance for the
grand celebration on the 4th of July.
However, we hope that all Of the events
Of Independence Day will be pleasant,
patriotic, and peaceable, and that no
one will feel " independent enough to
unlawfully mar the days pleasure.

on the Plains.

RAwLINs Wy. r., Feb. lG.-Independence

remarkable fatality three days ago. Daniel

Buffalo Creek, near the rock For four weeks
Stockwell has had as guests Albert aud
George Avery, young men whose parents re-
side near Youngstown, o. Last Thursday
while out hunting on nearing Independence
Rock they noticed some cattle forming n
circle, of which they were the center,
Stockwell, fearing a stampede counsellcd
flight TO Independence Rock and told
them 10 drop their guns and run for
their lives. Stockwell rapidly got ahead of
them, and, on reaching the rock, was horri-
fled TO find that the young men in their dos-
peration had made n stand against the mad
dened cattle and discharged their firearms
in the face of the foremost. The beasts In
the lead attempted TO change their course
but those behind forced them over the luck
less young men. The entire herd of at least
900 head trampled over the bodies of the
Avorys. The remains were wholly unrccog-
nizable. Stockwcll has notified the parents
Of the dead men Of the tragic occurrence.

the natives in the recent battle with the Ger
mans ON the Island, but who claims to have
witnessed the fight ~ a nou-combatant In
his capacity as correspondent When mar
tial law was declared ON the Islands by the
Germans, an attempt was made by the latter
TO seize Klein, but he was rescued by the
Americans and took passage on the ocean

under martial law, and German aggression
had become very marked, aud is claimed to
