Two Robbers Hung by a Mob.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., March r.
A man was garroted and robbed Of
between three and four hundred dol
lars, here Two men were arrested
charged with the crime. They were
found, living in an old hut one mile
below here, and on searching the
house. jewelry. stolen from the store
of MeLucas & Dyck, few days since,
was found.
At a late hour last night man
named Kieffe, was knocked down and
robbed Of his watch and what curren-
cy he had, about $780, He
was so brutally beaten that his re-
covery is doubtful. There were three
of the cowardly villains. and
they are without doubt the
same party that robbed the jewelry
store of McLucas & Dyck, not long
since. Acting deputy Sheriff, j. G.
Mobely, assisted by several citizens,
this afternoon. rode down on a hand
car, 10 the old hut on this side of
the bridge, and arrested two men,
who gave their names as f. Ward and
y. Bates. A broken revolver, al
ready charged, with fresh blood
stains on it, was captured. Mr.. Pat.
Harlin found in the bark of an
old log outside of the shanty, most
of the jewelry which was stolen from
McLucas & Dyck; it was tied up in
two handkerchiefs; papers aud letters
were discovered which show them to
be regular desperadoes; in one letter
a friend said 5000 was offered for one
of their number, by Superintendent
Fillmore. One of the scoundrels called
John James, an alias no doubt. is
n issing, but the officers are on the
lookout for him. 1t was reported that
he was shot on the east side of the
river this afternoon, by one of the
party which was after him. This is
most certainly the gang that robbed
and cruelty beat one Kief. last night
at 10 O'Clock. A mob has just taken
the two men from the officers and
hung them.

MIL DIV. OF MISSOURI,
CHICAGO, March II.
ORDER No. l.

GENERAL ORDER No. !.
The Adj't Gen. Commanding this
Military Division, takes great pleas
ure in announcing to the command,
the complete success of the Second
Cavalry and Thirteenth Infantry, un-
der command of Brevet Col. Baker, of
the Second Cavalry, against a band of
Piegan Indians, in Montana. These
Indians, whose close proximity to
the British line, has furnished them
an easy and safe protection against
attack, have hitherto murdered and
stolen with comparative impunity, In
defiance and contempt of the author
ity of the Government. After having
been repeatedly warned, they have at
last received a carefully prepared and
well merited blow, in the middle of
winter, Thermometer below zero, when
experience had led them to believe
they could not be attacked. The
blow fell; 173 Indians were killed,
300 horses captured, and villages and
property of the band totally destroyed.
The Lieut.. General cannot commend
too highly the spirit and conduct Of
the troops and their commander, un
der the difficulties and hardships they
experienced in the inclemency of the
weather, and as one of the results Of
this severe, but necessary and well
merited punishment of these Indians
He congratulates the citizens of Mon
tana, upon the reasonable prospects of
future security for their property and
