Detectives Reach Kansas City with
A Union Union Pacific Highway
man.

Detectives J. H. Gaines and T. E. Ken
nedy. Of Pinkertons force, and A. w
Waits, sheriff Of Ogalalla, Nebraska, pass
ed through the city yesterday en- route Il
Sidney, Neb., with Henry Underwood. alias
Tom Nixon, one of the Union Pacific train
robbers, who was captured in Wise county
Texas, axty-fve miles from Sherman on
Christmas night.
From the officers in charge Journal
reporter gathered the particulars of the
pursuit and romantic capture Of the prisO-
ner. A few days after the Big Springs rob-
berry, Waits. who had been shadowing the
gang for some time, struck their trail, and
got in his work ON Collins at Buffalo sta.
ton on the Kansas Pacific read, the par
ticulars of which are familiar 10 our read
ers. He then struck for Texas. knowing
the general rendezvous Of the gang to be
there where several Of their families reside.
For weeks he and a detail of Pinkerton's
men and q squad of Texas troops have been
bounding the fugitives through Southwest
Texas, until they freed part of their game
rs stated, in Wise county, on Christmas
night, at the house Of Underwood, whittier
he had gone TO enjoy the holidays. The
house was surrounded and surrender de-
manded, but a gay party of young folks
who we're having a dance within, stoutly
denied any knowledge of Cnderwood's
whereabouts. A "persuader" was used with
good effect, however, on one Of the jewellers,
who admitted that the man wanted was
up stairs. The demand for surrender was
renewed, and promptly declined by Under
wood himself from an upper window. He
was told the house would be burnt if he did
not give up. 1t was finally agreed to post
pone the formal surrender until morning,
the troops meantime investing the premises.
A few gallons of coal oil we're thrown
over the house to accelerate matters in case
. Gre was needed. and the party inside and
out made night of it.
Late in the evening a party OF three
borsemen were fired upon and driven of
under the belief that they we're reinforce
ments. They proved to be clergyman and
some friends who were coming to perform
. marriage ceremony for couple at the
party, who we're supremely Disguised with
the change in the programme. In the
morning Underwood surrendered and was
heavily ironed and taken to the railroad
and brought north over the NJ. X. & T.
and Gulf roads to this city. He is OF me-
dunn size, young and very dark complect-
ed, good looking and Of cheerful demeanor.
He has q wife and three children in Texas
TO whom he appears to be greatly attached.
None Of the money was found upon him,
and he stoutly denies any participation in
the robbery. Sheriff Eberhart and the dep
uty Of Wise county rendered material sid
in the apprehension and capture of the
prisoner. The party went north on he
Council Bluffs road.

Der g, of paralysis. died Matt Murphy, one
of the oldest engineers IN the employ Of the
Hannibal Company, running between Quin-
cy and Palmyra, and in times past one Of
the most efficient, faithful to the last.
He had been in several wrecks, one
in "a when his fireman was killed
and himself badly scalded, which took
him months to recover from, the last
about four years ago in which he jumped
from the engine to save himself. Since
that time he has been paralyzed twice-6sI
on one side and about year ago on the
other. He was out in the morning not fal
from the house looking at some traps ret 70,
rabbits when taken; some boys seeing hin
fall probably saved his life At the time, i
being very cold. He took his train Il
Quincy the night before he died, and as ha

found in the condition which ended il
death. How long ne was suffering befor

The Younger Rewards.

The States awards for the capture of the
Younger boys was apportioned among
those engaged in the capture, by Mime
sota Judge, last week. Toeach of the seven
men who advanced into The brush was given
$3.50. To second squad of fourteen men
he gave each S56.25. To third party Of
twenty five he gave S5624. To fourth lot
of eight men he gave SIS each. The judge
held that the acs OF the Legislature aPpro-
priating the money was to be construed not
as affecting a contract between the State
and the captors, but as sratuitous appro-
priation, and that under its provisions the
persons taking part in the capture are not
necessarily to share in the distribution in
accordance with the legal principles ap-
plicable to cases Of contracts, but that each
one should receive an amount proportional
to the importance and hazard of the part
enacted by him in the capture, as compared
With that performed by Others. On this in.
depreciation of the act he made the appor.
tiOnment.
