TERRIFIC FIGHT.
The sheriff Of Ellis County, Kansas,
Killed by q HOrse.Thief-He Kills
the Thief Before Giving mp the
Fight.

From a gentleman who came in on
the Kansas Pacific road yesterday af-
ternoon, we learn the following partic-
uiars of desperate fight which oc-
Cured near Stockton, Rocks county,
Kansas, between Alexander Ramsey,
Sheriff of Ellis county, and q horse
thief whose name was not known. and
which resulted in the death Of both
the Sheriff and the thief:
1t appears that Mr. Ramsey accom-
panied by his deputy, Frank Shep-
herd, We're en- route from Hays City to
Rocks county to take possession of
some goods which had been captured
from car-thieves on the 10Th of May.
While on their way they
STRUCK THE TRAIL
OF some horse-th thieves, who had about
twenty ponies. The Sheriff overlook
two of the thieves on the afternoon of
the 7th, in the vicinity of Stockton,
where part of the stock had been sold,
and riding up demanded of one of them
to throw up his hands. The demand
was not needed. On the other hand,
the thiefcommenced making prepara-
tions for battle. The Sheriff, who was
an excellent shot and man of great
nerve, opened fire and
GOT HIS MAN.
The thief returned the fire, his shot
striking Mr. Ramsey in vital spot,
and then dropped behind his horse to
protect himself, but not in time to
evade the bullets, three in number,
which were sent with unerring aim
from the Sheriff's pistol. The smoke
from Ranlsey's pisto! had not cleared
away ere both parties fell-the Sheriff
from loss of blood and mortally
wounded, while the thief fell from HIS
horse,
A DEAD MAN.
The other thief, who had started
rapidly away when the fight opened,
was hotly pursued by Mr.. Shepherd,
who was on his trail at last accounts
and is still pursuing. Mr.. Ramsey
lived about an hour after being
wounded, aud yesterday his remains
were taken back to his home at Hays
City, were he has wife and child re-
siding.
The Sheriff was a young man, about
28 years of age and has been holding
his office since he was twenty-one.
He was terror to marauders and
thieves, having
KILLED nrfITE NIrMpup
During his terms of office. He Is said
to have been man ofgreat nerve and
was greatly beloved by the law-abid-
ing people of his county In his death
Ellis county has lost a faithful and
brave official, whose place it will be
difficult to fill. A number of railroad
officials and friends of the deceased
have started on the track, and there is
no doubt but that the rogue who made
his escape will yet be captured.
\ THIS FELLOW
Gave his name as Stanley and is de-
scribed as being about six feet in
height. sharp featured, with dark COM
plexion and small black whiskers and
moustache. These two men belonged
to large and we'll organized band of
desperate thieves, who have for long
time been committing their depreda-
tions in Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri,. 1t is to be hoped that the res
pective States will take some interest
in the matter and make it an object to
parties to pursue the marauders to
their death and thus rid the country
of class of meu who are worse than
the wolves that roam the prairies.-

ARTESIAN WATER.

AM w n
The particular event I wish to refer
to Is the obtaining of very fine flow
of artesian water on the ranch of Mr..
Douglas Walker, whose residence is
upon Coyote Creek, about two miles
Northeast of the Artesia school. house.
GAREY'S WELL.
Among the numerous fine strikes of
water tapped within the last year or
two all over this district, that of Mr..
Carey, West of the school-house, has,
1 think, until this time held the pre-
eminence. 1t is now, however, des-
tined to hide its diminished head and
to pale it's waning splendor before the
sister fountain which 1t was my for
tune to behold spring into life this
morning under the persevering efforts
and able management of Mr.. Justice,
who is reputed to be the most skillful
we'll borer In this section of the coun-
try. The pipe after being cut to only
one-half of the possible distance, pro-
duced a stream of water which, by the
measuring rule, rose and spouted a
full fire inches above the centre of the
orifice, before the eyes of the delighted
proprietor, who was at last constrained
to cry, "Hold, enoughm fearing, it is
to be presumed, deluge on his land.
ENGINEER JUSTICE.
This is anothor foathor in the oap of
Mr.. Justice, the courteous and pains
taking engineer of the concern, who,
as report goes, has obtained fuller
wells and more OF them than his eff
cient competitors in Los Angeles
county. It also speaks well for the
country in general, as such strikes
make the settlers practically indepen-
dent of rain and reader farming or
