Full Particulars Of the Affair.

oneol the touleSt murders that ever
shocked the nerve Of a civilized
community was revealed in our Coun-
ty Jail yesterday morning, about two
o'clock, through the strategy and
Vigilance of Sheriff Sullivan and his
deputies. \ week ago yesterday the
officers were put in possession of
some facts relating to the sudden dis
appearance of c. 3. Green, a stock
man, from the vicinity of where he
was grazing a band of horses which
he had brought to this market from
Oregon, 10 sell. The first DAYS de-
velopments led to the suspicion that a
young man in the employ of Green
knew something OF the affair, and
measures we're taken for his arrest:
but he had taken his departure the
night before, and all effor.s to find
him were futile. The Sheriff imme-
diately engaged the telegraph wire
for at least IN hour. in sending dis
patches to all quarters Of the State,
with a full description ofthe fugitive,
and requesting that officers be on the
alert for his apprehension. This ac-
ton was rewarded with success. Tae
young man heard that search WAS
being made for his employer, and
concluded that his only safety was in
getting away. lie started early ON
the morning of Sunday for Elko. on
horseback, taking breakfast at DIt-
mond Station, and reached his dcs-
tinatiOn the same night. Officers ut
the latter place, being on the lookout,
nabbed him the next morning. and
held him in Jail, subject to instruc-
tons from Sheriff sullivan.
Meantime search was being cen
staHt!y made in the neigh6Orhood
around the grazing ranch t0rtho body
CT the missing man, o. y traces
that would disclose the mystery Of
his sudden absence from there. While
this was progressing, the finger OF
suspicion, assisted by the hand of cir
cuII.staNce, pointed TO a laan who was
taking ali "ctive part i'll TIL search,
and who HAD frequently been seen
with Green, as an accomplic0 in the
foul crime, il any had been commit
ted. The arrest OF the boy at tikO
