MONTE AND MUSCLE.
A Gang Of GambIers Cuptured By Cattle

N""nk OIL Gamblers Captured by n Cattle
Drovcr.
tfrom the Denver Tribune1
An old droycr from the far-off plains of
Texas got upon the Kansas Pacific train at
Ellsworth, with the intention of going to
Kansas City. There also got on board the
train, at the same station, two cattle dealers,
one OF them short, muscular little fellow,
who plays tho most prominent part In this
affair. A party Of three Of those pcstifcrous
thieves known to all Western railroads.
monte gamblers-soon made their presence
known, and Ia n few minutes pocketcd the
old drovcr's last twenty dollar note. II was
Of this iuncturc that the above-mentioned
little cattle man intcrfered in the old droycr's
behalf, when tho monte-men arrogantly told
him to mind his own business. The young
man resented the hint, word led 10 word, and
words to blows. The cattle drover managed
TO put In a series OF scientific slcdge. hammer
blows, which soon sent the monte thief howl
ing and bleeding over the seats. The other
monte-men Joined In to take hand, when
the other cattle, droycr met them, and in a
short timo punished them fcarfully. Find
Ing Themselves beaten they retreated at the
muzzlc Of the cattlcmens revolyers to the
sleeping car, md locked themselves up In the
drawing-room, drew their revolvers aud
knives and babe defiance to further attack.
N NVuuth VI war was Htiu IN tUt ITOut car,
when II was agreed that the monte men
should DO permitted to hold the slecping-car
until the traia reached Salina, where sher-
IFS posse had been telegraphed for. But the
arrangement was not satisfactory to the
brave little drover. He had resolved upoa
recovering tho old mans money, and APP
pcared 20 treat with contempt the knives and
pistols pointed ct the windows Of the draw
room. After washing of the blood from his
face and hands, no walked boldly into the
sleeping-car, where the three gamblers,
driven to bay, stood watch within the locked
glass door. With a huge navy revolver In
each hand, the young man dashed open the
door Of the den, and pointing his cooked re.
yolvcrs at tho astonishod gamblers, coolly de-
manded the old drovcr's lost money.
Finding that he was determined to have II,
and seeing the passengers closing In with
cooked reyolvers, the gamblers gave up the
money. This did not satisfy the droyer. He
now demanded the surrender Of all the
knives and pistols In their possession. After
some parlcying the arms were given up and
the monte men held under guard until the
train rolled Into Sallna, where q sheriff.
posse awaited them with bracelets and q
guard Of honor. They were taken from the
train and escorted TO jail.

Destructive Fire in Baltimore.

A terrible conhagration took place in Balti-
moro on last Friday night, approxinlating in
extent and Importance the disasters in Chicago
and Boston. The fire ragged until Saturday
morning, when it was brought under control,
but subsequently fires broke out in the same
section of the city, and the greatest consterna-
ton prevailed. No less than five times within
thirty-six hours was the alarm given, and it
was apprehended that there was an organized
plot for the destruction of the city. About
one hundred buildings were destroyed, includ-
ing elegant churches and other public struc-
lures, besides a number of important factories
of various kinds. The estimated loss is be-
tween $5OO,OON and SSOO,oOo, although some
estimates place the figures higher still. The
greater portion is covered by insurance. Sixty
families are homeless, but it is gratifying to
state that no lives were lost Assistance from
neighboring cities was promptly rendered, and
throughout the country there has been gen.
erous offer of pecuniary aid for the sufferers
AS yet, there does not seem to be necessity
for contributions of money. Should the occa-
sion demand it, the South would promptly ex-
tend helping hand to Baltimore, always re-
membering the excellent kindness and gener-
osity of her citizens to the soldiers of the Con-
federate army, when they were sick and
in priaon
