Some Of our citizens will recollcct little
fellow. in the employ OF w. I. Jewett, last
summer, and who was known upon our streets
by the name of Jimmy. His proper name
was James Manning His mother, we believe.
lives in Lawrence, and we think he was OF
Italian extract. He was very small of stature,
weighing only about eighty pounds, yet he
was eighteen years old. This little fellow was
hung for murder in New Mexico about three
weeks since From information in our pos
session it appears he was employed as herd
err by man by the name OF Ayers who was
moving lot of cattle into New Mexico. Ayers
was formerly around Wichita, was at one
time boss herder Tor King.bury, and We be-
heye has family now residing in Cowley
county. 1t seems that Ayers had seolded this
young Manning one morning for some dere-
LECTION of duty, whercupon Manning followed
him little ways from camp, pulled his re-
volver and swore that he wouldn'ttake abuse
from any man. Ayers appealed 10 him, asking
him for the sake of his wife and babies not TO
shoot, but all TO no purpose. Manning shot
him through three times. Ayers lived TIRES
days only After his death, Manning was
given something OF a trial by the hsrders,
found guilty, and swung into eternity.

The news OF sickening and dastardly
crime, committed about twenty-five miles up
the river. between this place and Hutchison,
reached us sunday morning. From all we can
learn il appears that three Texas cattle men,
returning from Great Bend in wagon, and
destined for their southern home, went into
camp near S. A. Mofet's, last Friday evening.
Saturday morning two travellers, IN passing
the camp, noticed q man lying upon the grass
covered up. Thinking it strange they re-
moved the cover. when the startling disco'-
cry was made that an attempt had been made
to murder the man, who. though not dead,
was senseless, with a bullet hole in his head
He was carried 10 a house near by and phy-
sicion called. The wounded man, after bang
made as comfortable as possible, although not
regainin- his consciousness, called for his
money. The two men who went into camp
with him had fed with the ponies. There was
not paper or mark left by which the wound
ed man could be identified. The toe next to
his big toe on his right foot is gone, which
may lead to his Identification. That he was
murdered for his IN eney there is not the less!
doubt. NJ. Meagher, our city marshall, VINO
furnishes us with the above information, says
he was still living Saturday evening with no
hope. of his recovery. He also says there Is
rumor that Texas man left Great Bend
last week with such company, who had on
hs person about $4,000. The authorities have
full description of the ponies and men. We
sincerely hope the murderers may be caught
r. s.: A party CT gentlemen went up day
before yesterday for the purpose oiidentiyins
the wounded man. Upon their arrival they
found him dead and buried. His property
was immediately recognized by Mr.. Jewe II
and Hughas- His body was taken up and
found to be that OF Andy Long who had lon
wichita with about 500 in his pocket. Ma
nv facts were obtained among them the names
of the supposed murderes who are well known
but we are desired to withhold all names for
the present.
