7ewhc supposed Assassin.

Yes, .rday morning June Peak dis
covered horse in the Pacific wagon
yard which bore perfect resemblance
to the animal described as the one rid
den by tie would--be murderer Of Mr..
Frazee. Captain Peak being unable
on account of other business to prose-
cute the matter furt y, impaired his
discovery to Captain Morton and olli-
Ger Arnold, with instructions to follow
it up and ifpossiblc to arrest the owner
of the horse. lie finally made bis APP
pelrance and was arrested and taken
before Sheriff Barkley, who detailed a
Deputy Sheriff to accompany him to
the house where Mr.. FraZoe lay
wounded, for the purpose OF idcnti'
fication. The man gave his name
as Rufus Wiley and denied all knowl-
edge of the crime imputed to him.
His statements about his place of resi-
dence were vague and unsatisfactory,
and his movements since Sunday
morning, taken in conjunction with
the fact that he answered the 2escrip-
ton of the ASSESSING all went towards
making strong casesagainst him in
the opinion of the cHy officials. He
arrived at the wagon yard last Saturday
night and left again on Sunday morn
ing, and did not return until Monday
afternoon. Shortly after putting up
his horse he left the yard, aud in the
evening when he returned the proprie-
tor hardly recognized him, SO changed
was his appearance, he had shaved his
black beard oil, shinglcd his long
hair, and in fact he had undergone u
complete metam0rphis. Hand-cuiled
and mounted upon his sorrel horse,
with blaze face, lie WAS taken out to
Mr.. Lamberts' to confront Mr.. FraHce.
On the arrival of theparty an interview
was demanded by the Deputy Sheriff,
but was fefu ed by the sick mans at
tendants, who stated they had strict
orders from the attending physicians
to permit no stranger to intrude into !
the sick chamber; and besides giving |
this us reason for their refusal they |
stated that Mr.. FraZee was Mt
the time under the influence of
morphine and therefore he would
not be able to recognize any one. The !
entire party consequently were com
PEELED to return to the city having
failed to accomplish the purpose of
their visit. On their return to town
Wiley was taken to the station house
for safe keeping until to-day w'niy an
other attempt will be made to confront |
him with his supposed victim. Cap
tain Peak and his officers are confident |
that they have got the right man, while
Sheriff Barkley thinks they are far of
the track and is himself pursuing an
entirely different individual. The
party he suspects is asat n by
the name of Cruise who is said
to have been one of the express rob-
bers. Major Barley is confident that
ne is right, and yesterday morning re-
ceived despatch fstoe Deputy Sheriff
Ben. Scott and companion, whom he
had sent in pursuit. IL was sent from
Sherman. and read:
The Marshall of Sherman saw the
man we are after last night Will
use every eXerton to capture him.
LSigned BEN SCOTT
II the theory of Major Barkley is cor
rect, and Ben. Scott succeeds In cap
turing the man he l5after, then two
big birds will be killed with one
stone; one OF the express robbers
and the would-be assassin OF Mr.
Frazee being brought to justice in the
person ofope man. In the mean time
we are glad to be able to state that Mr.
Frazee is doing remarkably well con-
sidering the dangerous character OF his
wounds. DR.. r. V. Childers, one OF
his attending physicians, informs us
that at eleven o'clock yesterday he was
doing well, with the prospects in favor
of his recovery.
