impossible to hold an examination to-day,
consequently James was taken to his hotel.

against him in this county for about year,
one for completely in the murder of young
Wiehes, near Liberty, in 1874, and another
on account of the Blue Cut train robbery.

for some time, but Judge White will prob
ably give hearing upon the indictments
in chambers next week. James was this
evening remanded to his cell in Jail at In
dependence, and will there remain until
the court grants hearing and formal pro-
ceedings be held. Immense crowds re-
mained about the hotel all day, attempting

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. ct has been dis
covered that Frank James spent last week
in this city, sleeping at night at the Sher-
man house, under the assumed name of
Pratt, and consulting with friends from
Missouri with reference to his surrender.
The letter to Gov. Crittenden is said to
have been written here and carried to st.
Louis for mailing. One of the United
States deputy marshals here became
aware of his presence and swore out a
warrant before the United States COM
missioner charging James with robbing
the United States mails. For some un-
known reason, however, the deputy made
no effort to arrest his man, James left
for Missouri Monday morning. Previous
to coming here he was at Quebec and
Cleveland.
GOT THE DROP ON HIS DAD.
MILWAUKEE. Oct. GA special to the
Republican Sentinel says: A murder was
committed at Sextonville, little town two
miles south of Richland Centre, Wis, last
night, which causes extreme excitement.
Arthur Van Deuzen, young man, killed
his step-father, Ephriam Daugherty, by
shooting him twice. The alteration arose
from family difficulties. Daugherty had
threatened the life of the young man and
drew a revolver ON him. The son was
quicker than his father, getting the first
shot. Van Deuzen gave himself up and pub
lie sentiment is in his favor.
