The Capture of the Gold Hunters.

A correspondent of the Sioux CITY
Journal, writing May Goth, from the
camp Of freight trim which was on its
way out to Join the Gordon party Of
Black Killers, writes the following story
ofthe capture Of that party and the des-
truction of its outfit, as related by one
Evans. We presume the military author
tiles will investigate the serious charges
of unnecessary cruelty and outrages, as
detailed by these Sioux City stories.
The story runs as follows:
In the meantime Evans, the Superin-
tendent of the transportation company,
had come into camp and reported, that,
after being captured and taken down the
Niobrara river a distance Of thirty miles,
they told the Captain commanding the
soldiers, that they would go no further,
and turned their teams to the westward.
The Captain (Walker) and his command
followed up to within about twenty miles
of the west line of the State lNebraska)
and twelve miles east Of Antelope Creek,
the present location Of Gordon City.
While stationed at this point Captain
Walker came up with his command, and
camped within 300 yards Of the Gordon
train.
Captain Walker then sent an order
down TO Gordon's camp, requesting the
leaders to come up TO his tent, as he
wanted TO see them. The camp APP
pointed a committee to 60 up and
confer with the Captain. The
Captain received them cordially and in.
vited them into his tent for a talk. They
then and there wrote an article Of agree
ment which was signed by all the men Of
the company and the Captain Of the sol.
diers. The company bound themselves
that they would not 20 west Of Antelope
Creek, nor north Of the State line. The
Captain pledged himself that they should
not be molested if they remained at this
point, and also that he would return the
guns he had taken from them when first
captured.
The next morning Major Mills, from
Fort Lamarie, with two companies Of
cavalry and two companies Of infantry
and one cannon remained on The ground.
The cavalry charged upon one side and
the infantry on the other and the great
gun was filled with grape, and placed on
an elevated plateau in front. Major
Mills, then rode up sword in hand to the
flag pole in the center Of
Gordon City and ordered them to haul
down the Stars and Stripes, deliver up all
their arms, and prepare for hellhre and
birthstone.
The men refused to commit the crime
Of incendiarism upon their own property,
and they were marched Off in a body
about Atty yards from camp and held by

Spinner's Loss of $4,000 OF U. 5.
Funds.
Washington Correspondence, June Ord, Chi
cago Tribune1

washington Correspondence, June 3rd, Chi
cago Tribune.
The robbery from the vaults Of the
Treasury, in broad daylight, it appears
to be conceded, must have been done by
some one of four persons. These are the
officials who have Immediately to do with
the handling, sealing, and shipping of the
money. The space in which they work
is about 10 by 20 feet. They are in a
large, open room, in which are twenty
six officials constantly at work. One sido
of this DOM is open to the public, and
round the upper part of it a gallery runs,
from which strangers at all hours can
look down upon the operations of the
cash-room. The shipping Of the money
consists, after it is sealed, in removing it
by drop Immediately contiguous to the
place where it is sealed, one story down
to the Office Of the agent Of the Adams
Express Company. This immense sum
of money was in so small a compass
that il was contained in
common bank envelope, and could easily
have been carried in an inside pocket. It
disappeared from the time 1t was sealed
to the time the express agent in the story
below checked off the packages which
we're delivered from the elevator. The
four gentlemen who were suspected are
men whose characters have been above
suspicion, and who have been placed by
special appointment in these places Of
high trust. If the money cannot be re.
covered, Gen. Spinner, the outgoing
Treasurer, is responsible upon his bond.
Spinner, who has but twenty.seyen days
more to serve, has broken down by this
discovery, as he had well hoped TO resign
the office TO his successor without dollar
missing. Spinner, unless Congress shall
relieve him, will be responsible upon his
bond in the event Of total loss. In his
long administration there have been two
defaleations but never for so large sum
as ;his. in both instances he was re-
lieved Of the responsibility by Congress.
The intellectual super iorty Of the
Bostonisn over the rest Of tle world is &C.
counted for by the fact that Boston moth
ers wean their children at nine months,
and feed them thereafter exclusively
upon fish. The vast cerebral develop
ment of Jesse Pomeroy and Mr.. Piper Is
thus accounted for.
With few exceptions the Justices Of
England. melted by the suppression Of
garroting by hogging, have recommended
that the same punishment be allowed in
other cases Of aggravated assault, and q

Last Tuesday night four inmates of
the Roane county Jail becoming dissat-
isfied with their quarters concluded to
take " French leave, ;" as Jim Pope (the
jailer) was absent, and other things, as
they thought, being favorable.
Pinky Pass and Isaac Thompson
had passed out of the cells and were
in the corridor, when the door was
opened, and they didn't stop to speak
to the young man who was acting for
Jailer Pope in his absence, but made
straight for the woods. The alarm was
given, and Smith Riggs, who is al
ways on hand when needed, soon over
took the gentlemen and quietly asked
q surrender. The "bOys" threw up
the sponge, and escorted by Smith
wendell their way back to their old
quarters.-LOudOn Times.

CuriOusNAetiOn Of a Cougar.

A few weeks ago, says the Olympia
(W. ~ Transcript, a gentleman who
had just arrived in the country, while
in search of agricultural lands in
Lewis county, passed along an old
road, when a large cougar came out
of the woods and walked alongside of
him for some fifty yards, occasionally
rubbing himself against the mans legs,
lying down in the road in front of him
and rolling like a cat. Finally, he got
in the mans way, and he gave kick
when the cougar jumped in the road
in front of the man and began to groWl
and show his teeth. At this the man
became frightened and commenced
hallooing, which was heard by Mr..
Golf and some other gentlemen, who
happened to be in the woods near by,
looking for horses. They had their
guns and dogs with them, and went
to the mans aid. The dogs chased
the cougar up tree within fifty yards
of the road, where the men shot and
killed him. He was an unusually
large one.

the Sheriff to execute this unfortunate
individual privately. Later we notice
the Sheriff, in letter, says those who

shock that she fell as if dead, and in
sensible for considerable length of
time. Doctors Hannum, Blankinship
and Gault were called in and admin
istered such remedies as the medical
skill has provided, when she partially
recovered, and at last accounts was do

Ten Good Rules for Farmers.

|. Take good papers and read them.
2. Keep an account of farm opera
tons.
8. Do not leave implements scattered
over the farm, exposed to snow, rain
and heat.
4. Repair tools and buildings at
proper time, and do not suffer SUISSE
quent threshold expenditure of time
and money.
.. Use money judiciously, and do not
attend auction sales to purchase all
kinds of trumpery because it is cheap.
6. See that fences are we'll repaired
and cattle not grazing in the meadows
or grain fields or orchards.
Z. Do not refuse to make correct ex-
periments, in small way, of many
new things.
s. Plant fruit trees well, care for
them, and of course get good crops.
8. Practice economy by giving stock
shelter during the winter; also good
food, taking out all that is unsound,
half rotten or mOldy.
10. Do not keep tribes of cats and
snarling dogs around the premises,
who eat more in a month than they
are worth in a lifetime.

bound passenger train was passing
tank near the tunnel miles east of
Chattanooga brakeman, named
George Ellis, was prscipitated from

er medical attention. The father of
the injured man passed down the road

counts his son was resting well, but
was still unconscious.
