to Pinl1erton's agency in this
city, and two of their most
trusted detectives were detailed to pro-
ceed to Canada and capture the fugi-

cred that he was Swallowed by Detec-
tive Skefngton's subordinates, hurried

American detectives reached Cape

boarded a market boat bound for Sorel

ETHERIDGE, THE ST. PAUL ROGUE. .
Says Milwaukee dispatch under
date of October 2Sth: Charles Ether
idge, the St. Paul absconding insurance
agent and financial Representative of the
New York loan and trust company,
made his debut in this city Thursday,
and being we'll known had no difficulty
in being identified. At the Milwaukee
national bank he realized on SIS, 900
draft drawn by the Merchants national
of St. Paul on the American exchange
bank of n. Y. The Wisconsin marine
bank cashed draft for $4,000, drawn
by the Northwestern National, of st.
Paul, on the Tradesman's National of
New York; and Cramer q Co. took a
$4,000 draft by the First National, of
Minneapolis, on the Fourth National,
of New YORK. The drafts were all gen.
uine, and will be made good by the
banks at ST. Paul and Minneapolis, so
there will be no loss to the banks here
Etheridge left here for the east on
Thursday afternoon. Detectives are on
his track.
A later dispatch from st. Paul,
Minnesota, says that it now appears
that the Merchants bank of this city is
the heaviest loser by the defalcation of
Chas. Etheridge. SO far as traced, he
took with him $4,000 New York ex-
change, of which SIS, 900 was issued by
the Merchants; and $4,000 by Mime
apolis banks, but paid for with certified
checks on the Merchants. He has
$4,000 of this exchange not yet cashed.
1t is not positively known that the
amount lost by the Merchants bank is
ctil l., ho al
more drafts at some other place, No
trace of his whereabouts here. With
81 200 secured from the Second Ma
tional bank here, the defalcation now
amounts to $50, 200.

Inland towns that have had yellow

pay our own debts. If you have any
funds on hand subscribed for yellow fe-

ANOTHER BAND OF CHEYENNEs SURRENDER.
A Camp Robinson, Neb, dispatch of
Oct. 2Sth says: The famished savages,
after defying the troops, cold and hun
CRY for nearly forty-eight hours, came
forth from under the = bank of
Chadron creek yesterday at noon, Cart
lon having sent them word the previ-
Gus day by his guide that if they
did not come forth and surrender
before noon he would blow every one
of them from the face Of the earth.
This threat had the disired effect, for
in few minutes after the in
terpreter returned all the savages came
forward and surrendered themselves.

marched to this post, arriving here at
midnight where comfortable quarters
and supper was given them. tgYh a r.

says teleSIdiu VI OCl. AoIll, SCI aSlue
So, 900 as the necleus of fund to be
had in trust for the widow and orphans
of Lieut.. Benner, and say in an appeal
to the public; it seems fit to adopt the
widow and her orphan children as wards
of the people. The sum we have do
mated has been deposited with theCentral
Trust Company of this city, and it is.
hoped that further sums may be added
to it until a trust fund shall be gathered
and invested IN United States four per
cent. bonds which shall amply provide
for the future support of the widow and
the education of her children. We
respectfully suggest to other.
relief societies, which may still have
Incorporated balances, and to indi-
viduals who are interested in this ap-
peal, to send to the secretary Of. this
committee whatever to them may
seem proper, which will be duly ac-
knowledged in trust under our charge.
