Accident and Delay on the Union Pacific Railroad Caused by the Indians

St. Louis, Mo., Monday, Nov. 2.

An Omaha dispatch says: The Indians displaced a rail of the Union Pacific Railroad near Sidney on Saturday, by which a freight train was thrown from the track and the fireman killed. The wrecking train going west was obliged to return in consequence of the appearance of a large body of Indians. The troops from Forts McPherson and Russell have been sent to protect the railroad men. All was quiet at the last accounts.

Five desperados were hung near Gilmer on Friday by a Vigilance Committee.
