'The fire engines are working on the north side, forcing water from one locomo ive tender over to tlie other at the south entrance, which is playing into the tun nel. The tunnel will be destroyed anti filled hy caving with the exception of 100 feet at the south end. This will close the road for a week or ten days. It is unfortunate tliat nearly all the passouger trains belonging to the com pany are cut off on the short piece of road between this city and the tunnel.

So the next week there was another fight, iu which four persons were killed, and that night Squatting Bear actually had the audacity to rush out one hundred and eighty-seven scalps, and to ask those benighted savages, sitting round their fire, to believe that he had snatch ed all that hair from those four heads. It was too much—much too much ; they se.zed him and drove a white oak stake through his bosom to hold him still, and then they proceeded to h s wigwam to ascertain how that st alp business was conducted by the Bear family.
