large and enthusiastic meeting; but
there was no life in it. Even when the
most reasonable and most necessary

"HAvE THEY CAUGHT HM"-We sup
pose if we have answered this question
once, we have answered it five hundred
thousand times in the last three days.
Thousands of wild stories have been
flying around, all originating in the
wild imagination of some excitable
critter, about the capture Of Taylor
Strauder, and as soon as the report took
wings and flew from mouth to mouth
people would come to US to have the
story confirmed. To say mo" to the
same question three or four thousand
times is pleasant pastime, and we
rather like it. After that, though, 1t
gets to be monotonous. Yesterday a
very complete report OF Strauder's cap
ture gave all the terrible incidents OF
his being found hid in a coal bank,
near Mt. Pleasant, and the number OF
men he killed before he could be taken,
went the rounds. There's no telling how
often we had to contradict that story.
Captain Conant, after returning to the
city on Saturday morning for some as
sistauce, left again in the afternoon to
take up the trail where he lost it. He
will track..the murderer, if it be possible,
though it is done at his own expense.
