The property of the company consists of from 12,000 to 13,000 acres at fine table-land, 120 feet above the surrounding country, which lands produce a heavy growth of nutritious grass and contain, near the center, a fine little lake of cold spring water, making a fine stock-raising section.

The company already have a herd of 1,000 head of cattle, a considerable portion of which is made up of some of the finest imported stock. The headquarters of the company is at Springer, Colfax adjoining Mora on the north, where the business of the Company is transacted under the direction ot Mr. O. M. Oviatt formerly of Richfield, this county.

The Company anticipate greatly increasing the present stock with a fine lot of cattle. The Company's ranch is in the region of the Mexican grant of 97,000 acres, extending from the central portion of Colfax County, north in Colorado and over which much litigation has taken place. There is still pending in the district court of Colfax County a suit involving a large portion of the grant in which ex-Senator Dorsey, who is the owner of a one-third interest, is a party.

From Thursday's Daily Beacon. Rumors have been on the streets to-day that another coal find had been made" within half a mile of the -hole lately drilled near Clinton, and that a vein of coal seven feet thick, about 400 feet beneath the surface, had been discovered. The information was brought to this city by a A. C. li.

R. conductor, who had heard this story at Clinton. Investigation of the matter, however, indicates that the find has been confounded with one in Baughman township, Wayne County, where, it is said, a vein of seven feet was struck yesterday. Wm. Russell, of Massil Ion, who owns considerable land near Clinton, to-day stated that within the past few days several gentlemen had called on him to lease his land.

It was further learned that Campbell and McFadden, the two men wi.o struck the coal about four weeks ago near Clinton.have procured a steam drill and expect to begin drilling next week. All interested are confident that a valuable deposit of coal underlies the whole district where the drilling has taken place, and land leases are not to be had at any price. T. W. McCue, of this city, has just returned from the coal lields of southern Summit County and in Wayne County, where he is said to have leased 300 acres of land.

In this connection it is recalled that a few years ago a vein of coal five feet thick was struck on this land at a depth of 3(52 feet. From Friday's Daily Beacon.

I have always had a horror of war, and "have thought it a mode of settling difficulties fit only for barbarous nations; and the best that I can think of it now is, that by the laws of nations, war is legalized wholesale butchery and murder; but so long as a people or nation will not live up to the Golden Rule there will be war, and defensive war will be justifiable. Rev. Utter says "the real hero of Black Jack was Captain Shore.

Osawatomie was not a victory but a defeat of the Free State party." The reverend has shown such a brave determination to hang onto the exact truth at all hazard that I will not dispute him for all the honor he will gain by such utterances. Captain Shore is a good and brave man. but I cannot learn that even he claims to be the hero of Black Jack. I care nothing for the honors of war. It matters but little whether the battles of Black Jack and Osawatomie are looked upon by Mr.

Utter as victories or defeats. I was at the latter engagement, but I do not know whether I had the honor oi killing (as it is looked upon by some persons) anybody at Osawatomie or not. If I did, I would gladly transfer the honor of the whole slaughtering part of it to the Rev. David N. Utter and his brother in divinity, Rev.

Martin AVhite. The only real comforting recollection of my part in it is, that I did all in my power to alleviate the safferings of a young and very intelligent Mississippian named Kline, if I remember correctly, who was terribly wounded but able to talk. He had been wounded a day or two before in an attack by Free State men on a camp of Georgians seven or eight miles southeast of Osawatomie. The weather was hot, and the wound below the knee of the right leg, which was terribly shattered by a Sharp's ritle ball, was filled with maggots. How it was that he did not have the right care.

I do not know. All about the house where he was lying was excitement and hurry to be ready to meet the enemy we expected soon to attack us. I got help, cleansed his wound of the vermin, and dressed it, bathed him and changed his clothes. AVhile this was being done he asked my name. I told him.

He said: "I thought the abolitionists were savages before I was brought here." As he lav there pale and exhausted from loss of blood and suffering, he spoke of his home and friends in Mississippi, and how he wished he had never come to Kansas. He said he woula soon be at rest. He asked me if I would not take care of him for the few hours he had to live. 1 told him I would. As I was sitting by his Means James Holmes.

Rev. David N.

In his zeal to give the readers of history the lohole truth, he shut his eyes and entirely ignored more than half of the written history of Kansas concerning niv father's career there, and shows a spirit of hatred worthy of his reverend brother Martin White, who shot and killed my brother Frederick before the battle of Osawatomie and afterwards boasted of it.

He is evidently a Northern man, pining for "The Lost Cause," and still signing for property in human flesh and blood. He did not see the paragraph quoted from B.F.Stringfeilow's speech, delivered at St. Joseph, in 1854, a year before any of John Brown's family had moved to Kansas, in which he said "I tell you to mark every scoundrel among you who is the least tainted with abolitionism or free soilism and exterminate him. Neither give or takequarter from the damned rascals.

The affair was briefly reported in The Beacon yesterday evening soon after the attempted murder had taken place. As soon as Katzenmeyer's murderous attempt became known a large crowd of people congregated about the house, which is a small frame building located on AVater street, in the nortli part of the Sixth AVard. and much excitement prevailed. Officer Corley, of that part of the city, at once made a search for Katzenmeyer, who had fled from the house after wounding his wife with a pocket knife resembling a dirk, the blade being nearly three inches long and very heavy and pointed.
