Partial ce.nrmauo. OF HIS Cap.
sure b. the Cowboys.

The story that !. E. James has been
captured BY the cowboys near Tomb
stone. Arizona. does not appear to bs SO
sensational and improbable today, IN
view OF facts brought to light, as II did
yesterday. Tho letter received BY Mr..
Mcdonald vas dated the 18th instant.
and stated that Mr.. James had been de-
ooysd out Of town by . negro In his en-.
ploy on the pre,enss Of looking for Q
missing span Of horses. The story 10 10
a measure confirmed by . letter received
By Mercer Obey from Mr.. James dated
the 18Th instant-four days before. In
the letter to 0tsy Nj. James speaks Of
having lost the leaders OF his team
through o colorsd boy In bis employ.
and that be was seeking the animals.
Il is we'll known that the cowboys are
committing all sorts Of violent acts In
that region and stop ct nothing; there
fore It begins to look very reasonable
that Mr.. James 10 minus an ear and 10
held for $40. 900 ransom money. Il 10
somewhat strange. 10 the story 10 true.
however, that 1t has not been men.
toned In the press dispatches.

last evening for the purpose Of consult.
ing in regard to the burial Of General
Batterman in San Francisco next Sun
day. 1t was the intention to send an
officer from each company. but on ascer.
tanning that the funeral was not to be q
military one, and knowing that they
would be needed hero the following day,
the meeting decided not to send o detail.
II Ia to be regretted that circumstances
prevent the sending Of representatives
Of the First Brigade to attend the obse-
auies Of their late commander. &c
always exhibited great interest and pride
In bis command and It would be but just
to show some appreciation Of IL other
than by mere words.
