way there is prospect of having Tiltou appear be-
fore White Cloud audience, toward the latter part
of this month.
Died, on Thursday morning, March 18th. Willie
Kendall son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. W. Mauck, aged 10
months and DAYS. The funeral discourse de-
lyered by Rev. Piper, after which, the remains were
attended 10 the grave by many relatives and friends.
The scene at the house. where the corpse lay in state
was very impressive a. well as unique cata falque
was erected in the middle of the room, and upon
this. in beautiful white easket or rather resting
upon it, reposed the dead child. The floral and other
decorations very prose and the chastcness and
tenderness of the scene must have done much to
soothe the feelings of the sorrowins mother who was
unable to attend the funeral party to the cemetery

Beidleman was called in, and he was arrested. He,
however, resisted tho arrest and the bystanders had
to be called upon to assist in securing him, and con-
yeyng him to the calaboosc. He was put upon dray,

Through the poteness of Col Keith. we were shown
the burial Baskets recently received by his son,

Baskets probably surpass anything Of the kind west

about year. our young friend is called to mourn the

Two young men, supposed to he confcderates of the
fellow, Wood spoken of above, left here, about the
time of his arrest Some suspicion being excited that
they were the brace of horse-thieves for whom two
other fellows had been mistakenly arrested and con-

them. They were held here for several days, under
guard awaiting rcquistion from the Governor

horse.
