his in6rmities of temper and Of fact his egot-

Howard couSrY.-KIpSArpISG AND Szpuc-

HOWARD CouNrY-KIDSAPPING AND SEDUc-
rIoN-The New Oregon Sentinel of the 18th
states that on the 9th of this month two stran-
gers came to that village from the southwest on
foot. On inquiry subsequently Of lr. Huck-
ings, a man with whom they stopped several
DAYS, the editor learned that one of them was
Nicholas Salmons, who was convicted in July,
1856, of the murder of halfbreei, named
Tilman Porter, near Kankakee, Illinois, and
sentenced to the State Prison for three years.
Having served about one year, he was pardOned
and set loose. For several days, Salmons and
the lad, whom he called Charles Samons, had
been stopping at Huckings,' when Mrs. Huck
ings remarked to her husband that there was
| strong resemblance between the boy and girl
whom they knew in Illinois, named Emeranda
Johnson. Salmons Immediately replied that
Emeranda was at her grandfather's in Illinois.
But Suspicion was excited, and one night, in the
absence of Salmons, young lluckins shared the
bed Of tire boy, and made the discovery that
the boy Charles Salmons was in reality the girl
Emeranda johnson!
Meanwhile, Nicholas Salmons fed and Jas.
II. Brown, Esq, Immediately issued . warran,
for his arrest on charge Of kidnapping and
seduction.
From the girl we learn that she 10 I6 years
old and an orphan. She AYERS that Salmons
met Her III al spUl, anu utcIdTtu
that he was in debt and obliged to run away,
and that she must accompany him. She insist.
ed TO the contrary, hut he threatened 10 kill
her. She was on her way TO her grandiaier's
and had a suit of her dead brothers's clothes.
Salmons stripped off her own clothes, and CON-
PEELED her to put ON her brothers. He then
cut of her hair quite close, put her on his horse
and started cor Kankakee, where he pawned his
horse for trihiDg sum of money, and then
started Tor Iowa. Arriving a, Davenport, they
mad TO come on foot The remainder of the jour
ney; up through the long valley of the Cedar,
across ncver-ending prairies, they wendell their
tedious way. AT night they shared the same
bed-tbe vampire and the victim the former
passing under the name Of Charles Hewlan, the
latter under that of Charles S,lmons.
The girls story in many particulars, 10 highly
improbable We infer that she accompanied
Salmons of her own accord for we do not be-
lieve that any man could have SO conquered
her will, as to successfully bring her all the
way from ksnkakee in Illinois 10 tits place
without discovery, merely by the power Of brute
force.
On the other hand, we do not for a moment
doubt but that Samons is fugitive from justice;
and that, not Of civil, but criminal process.
Our theory is, that Emeranda Johnson IS vic-
tim Of Sa!mons, and that she preferred a. a last
resort, to share his fosced and hasty fight, ra-
Their than remain behind. Repenting at the
eleventh hour, she is yet possessed Of sufficient
native modesty to attempt to hide her sin, and
accuses Salmons of kidnapping and forcing her
away.

charged. Baldwin and Porter then took a
change of venue to Justice Walbridge, before
whom the trial proceeded, and Baldwin was

an examination of the case of Porter, and he
was discharged.
1t appeared in evidence that the horse was
not stolen at all, but strayed out into the coun.
try, and was taken up and put in pasture, by
some of these men.
