special to the Denver Tribune from Los Pinos.
dated 25th nst represents that the situation is very
serious there. General Hatch was to have started
from Los Pinos yesterday and spend the night at
Cline's ranch, the Cimarron. On the 30th he
will start from there for Manosa, which is the last
railroad station. General Hatch has given up all
hope Of securing the Indiaps, and his departure
Is tantamount to Q declaration OF war much anxiety

braves near Los Pnos, and the whites, all told. do

they cannot get there before the Indians make an

After the inquest yesterday the officers had great

The murder for which the men were lynched was
o cold-blooded and cowardly one. Seminole and
Woodruff stopped at Haywards house. near Golden.
and employed him to take them to q cattle camp in
the mountains. He started out with the men, and
was never seen alive again by his family. Search
was made for him and his team for several days. and
three weeks later his body was found under
culvert a short distance from Denver. clew
was obtained as to the direction in which
the men had gone. and it was closely followed.
it was discovered that on the night OF the
murder the had driven into Denver and put up
tho team. intending to sell 1t next day. On the fol.
lowing morning the sale of the team was made for
$685. $40 of the money being paid in cash and the
rest in check. The men then hired u team which
they took short distance. when they cut loose the
horses aud proceeded on the animals backs.
ARREST AND CONFESSION.
Deputy Sheriff L. jefferson Carr got cew to the
direction in which one OF the men (Seminole) had
gone, and he followed to the Piute Agency. in
Dakota. where he was arrested On being arrested

The Wheatland Mystery.

w~HEArLAND, CAL, Oct. 3.-Among
the witnesses examined yesterday in the
Roddan trial wers Ida Dunn and men,
bsrs OF the Senior Roddan's family.
Nothing was developed tending to solve
the mystery Of the affair. Miss Ida
Dunn went over the story OF the assault
about as she did in Williams case; she
did not know how II occurred; her last
recollection was OF Cora Heslep coming
to bed. She knew Of no ill.feeling that
existed against her on the part Of any
member Of the Roddan family. She
had always been treated kindly and con-
siderately by them, and she had no idea
or suspicion as TO who committed the
assault. She had signed o card for pub.
LEGATION in \ newspaper at the solicita.
ton Of Hugh Roddan, but 1t had never
been printed. The card eIonerated the
Roddan family from any blame or DON.
nection with the assault. She stated
that during Williams examination she
had conversation with Mrs. Roddan,
who stated that when she first went to
the girls room on the night OF the Is.
sault she thought from the appearances
that Cora had been seized with hemor.
rhage OF the lungs, and that Ida had
risen from bed and gone to Hugh Bod
dams for assistance; that when the wit.
ness asked her II she did not think II
strange she should leave the bouss with.

when she found Ida's clothing under the
bed she became satisfied that something
