10y - a al Va IN "AAO WIZ
gambling in the saloon of Billy Wilson,
at Gayyille, a small mining camp sit
uated near Deadwood City, Black
Hills, became
INVOLVED IN A QUARREL
over some point in the game. All were
considerably the worse for liquor, and
harsh words soon led to blows. Knives
and pistols were drawn, and when the
melee wa ended, John Lynch, a Neva-
da miner, lay on the floor,
WHITENING IN HIS OWN BLOOD,
a CHASTITY stream of which welled forth
from a fatal stab in the left side of the
abdomen, while other ugly gashes were
bleeding freely, and a small round hole
in his breast showed where a bullet had
entered.
Within an hour after the ARRAY, two
men, Jerry McCarty and j. Carly, with
the brand of Cain on their brows,
mounted fast horses, and, leading a
mule behind them,
RODE U INTO THE NIGHT,
taking their way toward Custer City.
This IA sufficient evidence of their
guilt.
Lynch lived until late in the after
noon, and passed the time in debating
his will, and letters to his wife. When
the last faint spark of life had passed
from his body, the citizens of Gayville
met and gave three men, Z. L. Ed
wards, - Hinckel and - Godfrey
AUTHORITY TO PURSUE
and capture the fleeing murderers, offer
ing them n thousand dollars for the
work. The trio secured horses and
arms and started Immediately on their
p~erilous mission, riding all that night
and reaching Custer City the next day.
Here they were almost
DAY BEHIND
the men they were pursuing, owing to
the fact that the latter had taken a short
cut, avoiding Custer. At this place
Edwards took passage ON a fast freight
wagon bound for this city, while
Hinckel and Godfrey returned to Gay
vile. The fugitives were heard of by
Edwards at different places ON the road.
He was four days in getting from Gus
ter to Fort Laramie, arriving there on
Tuesday last. There he found that
McCarty and Carly had separated,
Carly going toward Laramie City,
while McCarty took the Cheyenne road.
Adolph Cuny and a mar named Davis
followed Carly, overlook him and
lodged him in the g%uard-house at the
Fort, where he is still confined.
Edwards reached here yesterday noon,
and at nee set about tracing up Nc
Carly, who, it seems, arrived here three
OF four days ago. Edwards learned
that he had sold a horse and mule to
Mr.. Tracy, of the Big Horn stables.
Following up the trail, shortly after
four O'Clock he a%scertained that his
man was
EN- ROUTE TO SAN FRANCISCO,
on the west bound emigrant train,
which left here at 3:45 p. m.
Deputy Sheriff Fisher and officer
Howard were pressed into service by
Edwards, Division Superintendent Da-
Wis placed an engine at their service,
and the trio were soon
SPEEDING WESTWARD.
The emigrant train was overhauled
at.Granite Canon, 26 miles out. The
officers boarded the train and arrested
McCarty, who was
COMPLETELY SURPRISED,
and made no resistance. The officers
awaited the arrival of the east bound
emigrant train, on which they returned
to this city with their prisoner, arriv-
ing here at 9:15 p. m. McCarty was
at once escorted to the county Jail,
where he was placed in a cell.
ABOUT THE MEN.
Jerry McCarty, who is said by Ed
wards to have been the principal in the
ARRAY, is a nan of good form and fea-
lures, but there is a hardened look in
his eyes which leads one to think that
during his life in st. Louis, from which
city he halls, he was more conversant
withthe lower than the upper strata of
society. He went to the Hills in
March last, and is a member of the
firm of Mcdonald, Mccarthy s. Co.,
owners of some rich hill diggings near
Gayville, mention of which has been
