An Example of True Friendship.

Hon. w. Z. Mason, of Chicago
arrived here last Friday, for the pur-
pose of assisting in the defense of Sam
uel Woodruff, whose trial for the muir
der of John Freel, occupied all Of last
week. Last Saturday, Mr.. Mason
produced a wonderful impression up
on the Judge, Jury, and all present.
He spoke OF having been the play
mate of the prisoner; and when last
summe he returned to the place of
his boyhood days, to pay the last trib-
ute OF respect to his mother, among
those who tenderly strewed the caskeI
with flowers, was the mother of the
prisoner. He regretted that lie had
arrived so late, and in explanation
said that he had written several letters
to the prisoner, whom he directed tC
telegraph when he should start. 1hi,
Woodruff had done several times, but
owing TO the criminal neglect of the
IL into whose hands the letters and
kilograms hal been given, he had re
ceived none of them.

which the men and their arms were
stored, and they excluded a drummer
who sought to force his way into the
car, and he started the story.

Col. Carpenter arrived in town
yesterday accompanied by thirty-two
men. Capt. McBrine arrived with a
party on Saturday. Lieut.. Blackwood
and party from st. Louis also arrived
yesterday from Denver. where they
stopped off n few days. Capt. Sloan,
Idaho Bill" has about three hundred
men here now. At least two hundred
more will centre here within the next
three days, and we are informed it is
the intention to move out towards the
North Platte river about the 22d inst.
The men are all well armed, and Col.
Carpenter and the other officers pro-
pose that the expedition shall be well
equipped. They are a fine, hardy, in
telligent looking set of men, and the
officers seem to be men of the right
stamp. We venture to say that by the
time they are ready to cross the Platte
the expedition will number twelve
hundred men.
