OMAHA, November l0.-A special
from Grand Island says: Sheriff Killan,
OF this county, was called upon at late
hour Tuesday night to proceed into the
country about two miles south of this
city, to arrest two men who were max.
ing themselves obnoxious to farmers
family. The farmer said they represen'
ted themselves to be hunters from Hast.
ings, but they carried Winchester rifles
and being otherwise heavily armed, he
thought something was wrong Sheriff
Killan, with deputy, proceeded to the
farmers house about five o'clock
Wednesday morning, and found the
men in bed. He asked them to get up
and dress, as he wished to speak to
them. killan saw at glance they re-
sembled Ed. and Lon Maxwell, dIds
Williams, the notorious Peppin county,
Wisconsin, murderers. They both
drew on their pants and coats, Alonzo
excusing himself a minute while he
stepped outside. While he was gone
Killan grappled with Ed. and with the
assistance Of the farmer and his son,
threw him to the floor and narrowly es'
capped being shot by Ed. They got his
revolver away from him and held him
to the floor while Klllan endeavored to
handcuf him, but Ed. gave regular
Indian war whoop, calling Lon.
Killan stepped outside the door to
stop Lon and saw him running toward
him with drawn revolver, and stepped
aside Just in time to escape shot. He
then went aside and instructed his dep.
uty to guard the door with his double
barreled gun. AS be did so, Lon stuck
his head inside, when the deputy pulled
on him but the cap missed fire, which
move scared off Lon, who ran away
without coat or hat and hid in the grass.
Killan then secured Ed and went to
look for Lon, but it was hard to find
any trace of him. Kilan then brought
Ed Maxwell to Grand Island, where he
now lies in the county Jail, awaiting the
coming of the sheriff of Peppin county,
Wis, who has telegraphed that he
would be here on the first train.

AIand Ring in Dakota Territory

SPECIAL Dispatch 90 the Boston Globe
Early in President Gartield's admin
istra,ion he appointed relative OF his
and friend of his early youth, Hon.
VIM. Letcher, to be land agent at Mitch
ell, Dakota. Sometime previous to this
a large land ring was found to have
been operating in this section, and sew.
eral OF the parties were arrested and
tried at Yankton. 1t was more than
surmised that the agent VINO preceded
Letcher was connected with those
frauds, but no positive proof was found
of it. Since President Gartield's death
members OF the ring have been making
energetic measures to have Letcher re-
moved and the agent returned, 1t Is
hardly thought that Letcher will be re-
moved. He was a member OF the last
legislature of Ohio and carried his coun-
ty, generally Democratic, by a large ma
ioritv. He was warm friend, as well
az relative, OF the late President, and
the appointment was one OF the earliest
acts OF his administration.
