THE MURDERERs EXECUTED We pub.
lshed communication yesterday concern
ing the shooting of citizen near Black
Jack, in this county on last Tuesday even
ing. After this diaboical deed had been
perpetratcd, Mr.. j. M. Hays and some
three others started in pursuit. The MUIR
derers were followed to the encampment of
a part of the Eleventh Kansas, near lanes.
field. One of the assassins rode wind
broken horse, which aided in the pursuit.
After arriving in camp, Mr.. Hays and thu 8
with him Informed the commander of the
company, and the villains were detected, ar
rested and pu. under guard. Their name s
are w. II. Wagner, J. flanagan and -
Miller. The next day Wagner and Han
ncgan were tried oy court-martial and
found guilty, and sentenced in accordance
with army regulations, to be shot. They
were executed on Thursday at the camp,
near Lanes6cld. Miller is still 10 custody
and will probably be handed over to the
civil authorities for trial. Great credit is
due Mr.. Hays and the other citizens who
accompanied him for their promptness N
the detection. The military officers who
held the ccurt-martial have shown them
selves 6t to be trusted with the protection
of the country. This is sad instance Of
depravi,y Oh the part of those who have
suffered death as the just penalty of their
crime. The base lust of money led to this
dark, damnable crime, resulting as it did in
the speedy execution of justice.-Lanremce
