A II omantic story.

During Prices raj in 1861, skirlnish took
place on the line of Carlton and How ard coun-
ties, some four miles from Glasgow, in which
one OF the rebs was left on the ground danger
ously wounded in the neck. While in this con
dItion, Miss Sarah J. Smith, n school teacher in
the vicinity happened 10 pass by. Seeing thu
wounded man, she went 10 him and staunched
his wounds, probably saving his life. She re-
manned with him until near nlghtfall, "a hen he
requested her 10 leave, as his companions would
probably come in the night and take him away
II not, she would find him where he was in the
morning. living or dead. He said hewas KIN own by
the name Of Tucker, but that his real name " a.
II. Q. Mcdonald, and that he was from LOUIS
VILE, Kentucky. Next morning Mcdonald
was gone, and Miss Smith knew nothing con-
corning him afterward. A few DAYS ago, says
the Glasgow Tines, Miss Smith (who still re-
sides in the neighborhood) received a letter from
the administrator of III. &. Mcdonald, sr Iu-
forming her that she was named in the will OF
the d. ceased as the legatee of s51.0o0 IN con-
sideration OF her having saved the life of HE
nephew and only heir, the II. &. Mcdonald

Three Men Hung and One Shot.

Prom the Omaha Herald. January -
In our Tuesday mornings issue we gave A
account OF the depredations that had been com
nitted in Cheyenne during the week previous
by gang OF desperadoes and outlaws who had
invested that city. 30 bold and outrageous had
they become i'm their various crimes and muir
ders, that the Vigilance Committee, numbering
two hundred persons, Were At once ordered out
10 arrest offenders, and bring them To a speedy
trial and punishment This they did ana are
still doing.
IL appears that the ringleaders Of the outlaws
made their escape from the Magic CITY and
fled TO the Black Hill, where the NigilanL,S
pursued them, and finally on Saturday arrest
ed the notorious Jack Hays, PAT Dolan alias
SHORTY" and a rough by the name of Kief
These three they took 20 Dale city, and after a
preliminary trial, Al once hung them from n
wagon tongue, placed at a proper elevation.
The committee then went I'm pursuit of another
of the gang, whom they found and shot. They
are now in search of the remaining eleven OF
the deeperadoee. and Will likely succeed in get
