A Brother OF tho Murdered Nan Arrives in
Cheyenne.

Yesterday afternoon we had an in
terview with Hubbard R. Ketchum,
who is stopping at the Star of the West
restaurant on Sixteenth street. Mr.
Ketchum, who is from Oregon, Dodge
county, Wisconsin, is u brother to the
one recently burned to death on Plum
creek, in Nebraska, by the fiend Olive
and his crowd. Mr.. Ketchum informs
us that the FIRST news Of his brothers.
death was received in Wisconsin
through a letter sent him by a friend at
| Grand Island. Leaving a widowed
mother at Oregon, he at once went to
Nebraska, and aided in the arrest of
the iends, a full account of which was
published In the LEADER some days
since.
Nj. Ketchum has with him photo
graphs of the body Of his brother, rs
also the murdered Mitchell, taken at
Kearney after their death. He says
there exists no doubt of the guilt of
Olive and his gang, and the neighbors
Of Olive denounce the act in unmeas-
ured terms. Mr.. Ketchum informed
us that Olive and the remainder of the
prisoners have been taken to Lincoln
for safe keeping until their trial.
The only one of those engaged in the
murder, now at large, is Dennis Cater
Ell, who is supposed to have fled to
Texas. Mr.. Ketchum graphically de-
tailed the strategy used in capturing
the m~urderers, and how quickly their
b~raggadocio, or nerve, let down, when
they found themselves surrounded by
armed men.
Olive, the leader Of the gang, he says,
is worth about $4,000, and he will
spend every cent of it to get out of the
scrape. He has already retained Ham
mer & Conner, Of Kearney, as his
attorneys.
There are grave charges against
Sheriff Anderson about his connection
with the in which Ketchum
and Mitchell were taken from the jail
by Olive and Gillian. But whatever
Anderson's sympathies may be in the
matter, Olives lawyers are moving
heaven and earth to get the prisoners
into Anderson's hands. The lawyers
tried habeas corpus, but that failed,
and they turned their batteries on the
coroner's jury, and finally on the gov
ernor. The people are asking this
question, "Why should Sheriff Ander-
son work SO hard to get Olive into his
hands now, when he (Anderson) re-
fuseI point black to execute the war;
rants or to have anything to do with
the arrest?''
Mr. Ketchum will remain in Chey-
enne several DAYS.
