Pueblo, Jau. 8.—Twelve Utes
in chargtt of Lieutenant Taylor
and ten men arrived, here yes-
terday and immediately pro-
ceeded east. Between two and
three thousand people congre
gated at the depot, and "Hang
the red devils t" ''Shoot thf m r-
deiing fiends !" and like expres-
sions werei heard frequently
from the crowd, and the Indians
were pel ted. wit h coal by boy s
who boarded a coul train on the
side track. The savages were
terror stricken. A" rumor was
on foot in the morning to organ-
ize a force of 5,000 men and
lynch them, but cooler counsel
prevailed and the citizens deter-
mined to let the Indians pass
without injury. Had theni been
any injudicious action taken by
the troops or miners, 116 power
could have prevented the mob
trom lynching them.

w Orleans, Jan. 8.—The
rersary - of the battle of
, „ 4 was celebrated by
a solemn mass at the cathedral.
ann
oi' twenty-live horses, supposetl
by Indians, a.s four worn down
Indian ponies were left where
the horses were taken. Captain
Arlington was at once advised
of the robbery and with twenty-
live men started 011 the trail, it
leading in the direction of the
Double Lakes; The company's
team followed with abundant
supplier, Captain Arrington an-
ticipating u long chase, and in-
tending, to follow the trail as
long as he could find it.
• The colonists from Indiana,
located 011 the plains, about
twenty ntih'3 west of this place,
are hi good spirits, fully satis-
tied with their Texas experience,
and prospects. They have con-
structed very comfortable dwel-
lings for each family, witli adobe
walls, and^roofs of their tents,
carpeted floors and cooking and
heating stoves- giving an air of
luxury to the "staked plains."
A very considerable addition to
the colony is expected in the
spring. ■;
Messrs. Linn and Chifftet, of
your place, were here recently,
looking for hides, etc. They
found none here and left with
rather gloomy anticipations,
both as to the absence of com-
fort to be looked for on atrip
over.the prairie in mid-winter,
and the absence oi the.probabil
ities of finding any bison. Mr.
Chiflletwashowever deteriiiined
to shoot, at least one buffalo
himself His favorite refrain is
"Il' lie dies I'll tiiii Ills skin.:
If he Uun't, I'll shoot him itgiil
Grass is good and cattle are
doing well; The large number
of cattle here has almost entirely
driven game from this vicinity.
However, a few buffalo have
been seen 011 tile plains near the
colony. ; * * *

London, Jan. 0.—The Tele-
graph vouches for • the trustwor
thiness of a communication
dated Kpnigsberg, Dec. 81, as
seriing that the distribution of
the Russian army shows a strik
ing concentration toward the
western portion of the empire.
and that Russian effective forces
are being increased in far great
er proportion than can.be justi-
fied by the object of filling up D/,nili_-eaU«w
vacancies left by the late Turko- j WlOSt Popular SalOOII
Russian war. Within the pasti
few weeks a strong force already I
quartered in the western pro-j
vinces has been increased by,.
four divisions of infantry and
one of cavalry. This raises the j
force along the western frontier'
to nearly one-half the regular j
Russian army on a peace fool-'
ing. Extensive measures of re- j
orgnnization of the service are
being pushed forward.
