SWAN,
steele and Considine We're, on last
Thursday evening, brought fro m the Peni-
tentiary before Judge Brown on a writ OF
Habeas Corpus, when, after having had the
indictments found by the Grand Jury read
to them, they were committed to jail. Our
reporter dropped i. to see them few days
ago and found that Sheriff Coats and jailor
Chas Morgan had made arrangements to
keep them until the trial, if it takes all
summer. by placing shackles upon them.
| Without doubt Sherifl~s bracelets become
Swan more than any other man we have
ever seen.

While at the PeniJeutiary, Swan under
took the crazy ..dodge-'-said snakes, and
tigers and lions and devils were after him,
AMI that the goddess of war was coming to
release him. After twelve hours trial, he
| found IL would not pay, and has now fully
rec0ve ed from The attack.
MARY MBRIDE,
who would IN the old times have been con-
sidered a good subject for the .scold's Bride,

could not make up his mind TO interview
her Hell has no fury like a woman
scorned.''

\ day or two since our reporter called
upon Cunningham To learn if he had any
thing to say for himself, or for OF against the
! other conspirators in the forged warrant
business We found him confined in the
second story in a cell ten feet deep By four
wide; at the back a window eighteen by six
inches, with a cross-bar of iron, furnished
light; the c., II was closed by heavy iron
door, with CRATE IN the centre which is
| about foot square. The following short
and sweet conversation occurred:
