How the Michigan Central Railroad has
baea Flseced by It's Ticket ARonta,

The Detroit Tribune says:-'By the merest
accident last week shrewd aud most success
fully executed series OF robberies was partially
unearthed, and time only has been require to
bring the whole to head. The company that
has been robbed is the Michigan Central Rail.
road. According to orders the conductors of
all passenger trains on this road, upon their
arrival in Detroit, deliver all tickets gathered
by them to Mr.. Thomas Fraser, the general
agent here, so that they can be properly disposed
OF. 1t has happened very frequently that con-
ductors have omitted to punch or cancel many
OF these tickets, and they have been stolen from
the office OF the agent and resold to travellers
by private parties.
'"This business, it now appears has been car
ried on for years, and so extensively that thou
sands of dollars have been pocketed and the
railroad company has lost just so much money.
Several days since young man named shaw,
who has been in the emp oy of the railroad com
pany for a plumber OF years, aud who has always
borne good character, was arrested and plead
guilty. He was principal clerk in Mr.. Frazer's
office. and hau the han ding of all the tickets
returned as before stated, 0Y the conductors.
He took those uncancelled whenever he chose
to do so, and sold them to Mr.. BurnstDe of this
city, who had from all appearances, been prime
mover in the whole affair.
Precisely how long this robbery scheme has
been going on, we know not, but clrc 1mstanceS
point to years gone by, aud 1t Is presumed that
$4,000 or $1,000 may have b. en- made alto
gether, The arrangement has not been confined
entirely TO Detroit, bat the raml1Cations of the
plot extended over considerable space aud time,
and the developments thus far mace implicae
many persons, although it is possible many may
be able TO slows clear record. Tue uncauceled
tickets have been sold at the different railroad
licket-ofices in the country, but the fact that
they were dated would seem TO in licate that
parties selling them must have been coguizant
of the theits or they would have bad nothing to
do with them. We are informed that Burnstine,
who seems to have been the only person who
purchased tickets OF shaw, did so in almost ev-
cry instance at reduced rates, and then dlsp oSed
OF them at their full value.n

COOP REPORT.-Messenger Loup, Of w. f.
& Co.'S Express, furnishes report, received
BY him at UniontOwn last week, to the States
man, that two parties out hunting Indians on
separate trails, came together near camp Har-
ney, and simultaneously struck an Indian
camp, numbering 81 Indians, and capture d
them all without fight. Mr. Lo saw it was
no use to fight and played "good" They were
led by the celebrated chief Big Foot, who is
represented as being almost a giant IN size and
has as big foot as represented. He said he
was chief of FIVE bands, one Of which was
cleaned out by Jim Beebe and his scouts the
other day, another band Is on the head'ef the
Weiser, the one he was with when captured
was a third and two others were yet nc large,
but would be induced by him to come in, give
up their arms and quit fighting. His squaws
and plundcr. with bis warriors, were held in
custody while he was sent to huntup the other
bands They promise that much other stolen
stock shall soon be restored A messenger
had been dispatched for Gen. Crock 70 come
and complete treaty with the Indians. 1t is
thought this wipes out all the bands that have
been proving Ia the Owyhce and Willow

A MURDERER COMMITS SUICIDE.


Last Fall Sheriff T. G. Smith, OF sOrmsby
county, Nevada, was murdered by Thomas
Riley. . very desperate man, and q very hard
search for the murderer soon after proved in
effectual. But we learn from the Virginia
City Enterprise Of June 9th, Of the suicide Of
Riley. June I'd, near Ragtown. Churchill coun-
ty, whittier he had been tracked. and hunted
by aparty who had gone to arrest him. The
Enterprise says
| The crowd engaged in trying to capture Ri
ley the ether day exhibited great prudence in
all their evoluti0ns and goings and comings.
We are told by Chief Strouse that while he
was in the bushes three men, who were
driving OK teams along the road, stopped and
Joined in the pursuit of the fugitive. They
came close upon him. when he rose from be-
hind bush, and all three bent a hasty retreat.
One of them was known to Riley, who called
to him and asked him to come to him, as he
wished to tell him something the man was
afraid to go, though Riley begged him to come
and assured him he woald not hurt him yet
the man would not Approach him. 1t is thought
that he wished to send some word to his fami-
ly. We may gstats here, AZ we omitted to
mention the fact in another place, that not u
single bullet mark was found ON Riley's body
after his death, except that inflicted by his
own hand There was bruise on his fore
head, caused. it is thought, by his fall when his
horse was shot under him also q slight hurt
on one hand, supposed to have been received
in the same way and at the same time rs the
other bruise on his head. --
1t seems two inquests were held upon the
body-by the Coroner of Churchill county
first, aud afterwards by the Coroner of Lyon
county. The Churchill jury returned the fol.
lowing strange verdict:
We find that deceased was Thomas Riley !;
was u native of Ireland. nged about IS years !;
that he came 10 his death OH the I'd day of
June, 4. ID. 1865, in this county having his
horse shot from under bin, aud seeing be was
about To be taken, he put the pistol in bis mouth
aud fired the shot that extinguished life-the
ball going in at his mouth I'D lodging against
the skin on the top Of his head.
The Lyon jury rendered this verdict:
We iind that the deceased was named Thorn
as Riley. Was "a native of New York City. and
aged about 81 years; h. came 10 his death on
the ii day of June. lo6-. in the county Of
Churchill By pistol shot from has own hands.
