IuJuuctI0ns Go maintain the strictest se- l crecy concerning it. The clue thus af- 'orded was followed up, and the act Of ! the ialthles- wife resulted Iu the capture 0l the fugitive husband. The rewards that will be paid ou his surrender here amounts Go Sl,UHU-1ne half being uald by tte county, the other half by the Ter ritorg. With NcDonaii's incarceration the county jail will have seven inmates held for Lomoclte. the most of them uu- der circumstances that will doubtless | lead them to the scafioll.

Here then is am opening for some men Of means 70 raise cattle 4 couple ol years ago man could scar ceiy sell cattIe for sufficient money to pay his taxes: now stock man can sell all he has, at Che rate of seven cents a pound. Sheep foo, will s1ou Toe scarce, as there is poo better mutton than is raIs- ed here.
