item Of yesterday relative to the pur-
sui, and capture of Riley, who killed
Sheriff Smith Of Ormsby county some
six or seven months ago, was mainly
correct, with the exception that he died
by his own hand. The three men who
pursued him, overlook him about two
miles beyond St. Clair's Station, on the
Sand Springs road. In the ARRAY which
ensued his horse was killed under him.
lie fired Ave shot, from his revolver
without effect, and the sixth shot no
discharged into his own mouth, de-
claring that he would not be taken alive.
The ball passed upward through the
brain and out at the top Of his head,
and Riley rolled from his PROSTATE
horse, a corpse. The body of Riley ar
rived at Dayton this morning about 9
o'clock, by private conveyance, in
charge Of Asa Kenyon, Mr.. Cummings
1.-TWO Of his captors), and Mr.. Allen,
Justice Of the Peace. An inquest was
held upon the body yesterday at st.
Clair's Station, and another WAS to be
held at Dayton at noon to-day. The body
will most probably be delivered to
the family aud friends Of deceased.
Certain officers had recently got track
of Riley's whereabouts, and it is said
that he has been concealed by friends
in this vicinity over since the killing OF
Smith. BE that rs it may, he was seen
and recognized ut Kaufmau's lower sta
ton, on the Idaho road, last Sunday af-
ternoon, and u telegram sent to that Of
feet TO the Sher,tfs Of Lyon and Ormsby
counties, both of whom ut once started
out after him. tie was on horseback
and crossed over to the Overland road,
and made his appearance at Asa Ken
yon's, Ragiown, where he somehow lost
his horse. He went to Scott'S and pro-
cured another, on which he was making
the hes, OF his way overland when over
taken by Kenyon and party as described.
The body vas visited at Dayton this
forenoon by people who knew Riley well
when living, and all testify positively to
his identity. The heavy beard he used
to wear is cut off, his long hair trimmed
short by way Of disguise, and he evil
IDENTIFY had not been shaveu for about a
week. Riley is dead, and thus ends the
tragedy. Retribution has overtaken the
slayer of his fellow man, the ends OF
justice have been served, and it were
well and appropriate that he should die
by his W hand.
