distance ahead, going rapidly. Here,
Trasy not being sure that his revolver
was reliable, drove into Cokato and OBJ
tanned good one, alarmed the town and
started anew. The gray mare led off
due west to Collingwood, four miles, then
south six miles, then again due north
past Dassel to Crow River, fourteen
miles. Here Trasy discovered the thieves
ON the opposite bank. He fired at them,
but they put spurs to their horses and
soon disappeared in the darkness.
All parties now drove rapidly some
seven or eight miles, Trasy often hearing
the thieves ahead, bat not overtaking
them until just as be drove over the
brow Of a hill, he met one Of the stolen
horses loose, and Immediately was salut-
ed with, "Here, Tnsy, you s-n of q
b-h, we have you now," aud Trasy saw
in the dusk of approaching morning one
man standing in the road and one upon
the other stelen horse. Trasy was going
at terrible rate of speed, was unable to
stop, and as he passed both robbers fired
several times. Trasy drew his revolver,
wheeled and came back, when the rob
bers fired again. Trasy received two
bullets in the left breast and one through
the hat Trasy fired at the mounted
man, who fell to the ground, and then
turned to the other, receiving at that
time shot which hit both his horse and
himself; he was dismounted, but held to
the bride. EEe then poured, at dis
tance of less than two yards, three shots
at the robber, whe dropped his revolver,
staggered back, then rallied and ran. In
the meantime the other one had left the
last horse and the field together. Trasy
took the stolen saddle from the bay, put
it upon the gray mare, picked up the
robbers revolver and came home, over
taking the first abandoned horse three
miles from the scene of battle. Trasy
knew he had been hit several times, but,
feeling no serious effects, made no exam-
nation till he arrived at COkat0, sixteen
miles from the fight.
Here he found one bullet-hole through
his hat, with a furrow cut in his hair,
close to the scalp, and three holes direct
ly over his heart, all intercepted by
large, heavy poeket-book, well filled with
paper. The book had pasteboard cover,
and, with contents, was an inch thick.
The bullets penetrated his coat, overcoat,
vest, pocketbook, and three shirts, one of
the bullets abrait.ing the skin slightly,
drawing blood. His horse was shot
through the base of the left ear. The
bay horse mounted by the robber was
shot by Trasy in the conflict, across the
back of the necf, plowing track
through the name. Trasy fred eight
shots in all. The robbers fired ten or
more. On each horse they found good
halter, which the robbers can have by
calling and proving property.

worked night and day at the repair of
the forts under the enemy's fire. When
peace was signed, he htid asite his uni
form and refused any decoration for him
self or his officers, saying that man was
sufficiently rewarded when he had done
his duty. He then threw himself into
politics and embraced with ardor the
I Republican cause, breaking entirely with
the Empire, which had ruined the
country.
1t was the purest and most disinterest-
ed patriotisln which led him to write for
the XlXme Steele at time when that
journal, prosecuted by the men of moral
order, was i'll able to serve its friends. The
electors Of the Ninth ACCOMPLISHMENTS took
upon themselves the payntentof our debt,
and returned Violet lie Due to the
Municipal Council Of Paris. He at once
acquired great influence, which he used
for good ends. He was, without place or
pay, the grand master of tn public
works of the city. This superabundance
of occupations did not prevent him from
going every evening into society,
where his handsome, expressive face
WAS much noticed, nor from writing in
our Journal series of very lively and
learned ARTICLES against the Jesrlits. The
uprightness of his political conduct,
more even than his reputation forability,
rendered him very popular in a few
years, and there is no doubt that at the
next election be would have been chosen
one of the representatives of Paris in the
Chamber. But his brain, that wonder
full machine which he had tried u little
too much, succumbed to the excess Of
labor. Congestion killed him at Lau-
same, just as he was preparing to take a
few weeks holiday

A BOLD FARMER Roy.
Stirring Adventures OF n Youth in
Pursuit of Horse Thieves.
[S Paul Pioneer Press

Sunday morning about l O'Clock a
valuable pair of bay horses were stolen
from the farm of Mark Trasy, near
Cokato. Mr.. Trasy was absent at the
time. His son james, an able-bodied lad

and hearing noise, got to the stable as
soon as possible, and discovered the loss
Of the bays and the only saddle. In an
other stable Mr.. Trasy had pair Of gray
horses. James put bride on one and
started in pursuit. The gray was an old
companion Of the bays, and during the
entire pursuit that followed was allowed
to have her own way in following. a.g
The gray mare first led toward How

Resistance--Finally Con-
fesses ALI.

ST, LOUIS, June GA special to

Mo- says John Blan was hanged
there this morning for the murder of

After the black cap had been ad-
justed Blan told the sheriff he wished
to say something The cap was re-
moved and Blan then made brief
speech to the crowd present, which
numbered several thousand, in which
he acknowledged having committed
the murder, and said whisky and bad
company was the cause. He warned
all to shun both. The cap was then
replaced, the drop sprung, and in a
few minutes Blan was dead.
When Sheriff Revenge notified Blan
to prepare to leave his cell, he sud
denly threw his spiritual adviser, who
was standing by his side, into the
corner of the cell, sprang through the
door Of the cell into the ante.room of
the Jail, and was just rushing out
into the Jail yard when he was caught.
and after a desperate struggle he was

CONGRESSIONAL.
Proposed Action in Regard to
the Warner Silver Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-SENATE--
The committee on finance had a
special meeting to-day to decide
whether the Warner silver bill should
be taken up for action at the present
session. The motion pending at the
adjournment Of the previous meeting,
submitted by Mr.. Voorhees,, that the
committee proceed to the considera-
ton OF the measure, was taken up.
Mr.. Morrill, to-day moved to amend
the motion by adding, and for the
purpose Of having time for its full
consideration further action thereon
be postponed till the first Monday in

by the following vote: Yeas -Bayard.
Herman, Ferry and Allison /; nays
Beck, Voorhees, and Jones, of Nevada.
Senator Morrill, paired with Mr.. Wal
lace the latter, if present, would
have voted no. The motion thus
amended was adopted by the same
vote, and the whole subject laid aside
accordingly.
Mr.. Coke asked Mr.. Bayard, chair
man of the finance committee, what
ction had been taken on the Warner
silver bill. He had understood the
committee had agreed to postpone its
consideration until December. Mr..
Bayard did not feel authorized to say
what had taken place in the com
mittee. He would only say that no
members had been instructed to report
on the bill.
Mr.. Coke then said his sense of duty
led him to offer q resolution to dis
charge them from further Oonsidera-
ton of the bill, and to declare the bill
before the senate for action. Messrs.
Edmunds, White and others objected,
and the resolution went over. Mr..
Edmunds resumed his remarks on the
the bill to repeal sections 8Ol, 820 and
82l of the revised statutes.
HOUsE.-The army appropriation
bill was reported, ordered printed, and
