A BAY HORSE
FOUND running in the range with my horses near Pairie Long, by Francis
Cutta, a man in my employ, and brought in to my house with my horses, a
BAY HORSE, about 7 or 8 years old, 14 1/2 hands high, with a star in his
forehead and branded with an oval with a point projecting from each end.
He is very poor, appears to have been greatly fatigued by hard riding,
and has no doubt been lost by some person travelling through the
Prairie. The owner can get him again, by proving his property and paying
charges, on application to the subscriber, living on the Arkansas, in
Vaugine township, Pulaski County.

appointed Dr. Joseph Paxton and Thomas Mathers, Esq. of this Territory,

a route for the road (authorized by a late act of Congress) from
Memphis, in the state of Tennessee, to Little Rock, in the territory of
Arkansas.

THE DUEL!
The long talked of and much ridiculed DUEL, which has been the topic of
conversation in every class throughout our Territory for six weeks past,
has at length, contrary to our expectations, resulted in the death of
one of the parties! We have received the following particulars of this
affair, from an eye-witness:
A Duel was fought on the east side of the Mississippi river, (in the
state of Mississippi), opposite the town of Helena, on Wednesday last,
26th ult., between Andrew Scott and Joseph Selden, Esqs., both Judges of
the Superior Court of the Territory of Arkansas. At the first fire,
Judge Selden was killed on the spot. The ball of his antagonist entered
his body just below his right nipple, passed thro' his heart and lungs,
and came out on the opposite side below his left nipple. He expired in a
few seconds, without speaking a word, or uttering a groan. Judge Scott
received no personal injury.
As the laws of this Territory against dueling, are probably as rigorous
as those of any state in the Union; and presuming that a legal
investigation of this affair ---- which is a flagrant violation of the
laws of God and man; at variance with, and destructive of, every
principle of good morals, and an insult to the community at large ---
will of course take place, we forbear making any father remarks for the
present.
We, however, wish it to be distinctly understood, that, in making the
foregoing observations, we are actuated only be a sense of duty, and not
from any private hostility, or personal animosity, toward either of the
gentlemen concerned in this unfortunate and melancholy affair --- for
both of whom we have hitherto entertained the most sincere sentiments of
friendship and respect.

THE OSAGE MURDERERS --- Five Osage Indians, being the principal
leaders of the band who murdered Maj. Welborn and party in November
last, were brought to this place, from Cantonement Gibson on Friday
last, by Capt. Philbrick, with a guard of U.S. Soldiers. Six Indians had
been given up by the Osages, as stated in our last paper, but one of
them made his escape from Capt. Philbrick, on the first night after
leaving the Cantonement. It is thought, however, that he will be
immediately given up on his return to the nation, as the Osages are very
much alarmed at the measures which have been taken to compel them to
surrender the murderers.
The prisoners were delivered to the Acting Governor of this Territory,
and are now confined in the jail in this place. Their trial for murder
will take place in October next.
