ROUND Rock, May 29.-Two arrests were
made yesterday, Henry Burkhart, a barber,
and Adams, German boy, supposed to be
implicated in the burning here on the night
of the 25th. There is now positive evidence
against them. Adams set fire to the build
ings after getting oil from Burkhart. Burs-
mart knew at the time for what purpose the
oil was intended. Early this morning, be-
fore daylight, six masked men took Burk
hart from Officer Kent, carried him a short
distance from town and hung him to tree,
but let him down before life was extinct
They wanted confession from him, but he
had confessed yesterday all he knew, and
Adams will be done the same way tonight
and allowed to remain hanging. Burkhart
is not seriously hurt.

KANSAS CITY, May 27.-Extensive ar
rangements are being made here for the
observance of Decoration Day, and there
will be a larger turnout and more impress
i've ceremonies than ever before character
lied the day at this place. An important
feature the occasion will be the burial with
honors of war of the bones of two soldiers
who were shot near here during the war by
bushwhackers. Their bodies were never
found till recently, and their remains have
never been inferred.
For several days past it has been raining
here, and fears are entertained that more
water may fall than the crops can well
stand.
KANSAS Cry, May 29.-Mrs Frank
James arrived at the home of her father
Colonel Sam Ralston, near Independence
on Friday and says she will remain a year.
This morning Mrs. Samue!s, mother of the

Jesse James and Mrs. Allen Palmer, a
dence to-day. Mrs. Samuels goes on to
Jefferson City tonight to see Governor
CriItend en-. She says Sheriff Tim
berlake and Commissioner Craig, of
this city, have been in st. Louis
on some unknown business and
all these facts are taken as an indication of
the truth in the reports recently circulated
surrender in consideration of an uncon-
ditional pardon. Commissioner Craig, who
returned home last night, denies that there
is any truth whatever in the story, and
Mrs. Samuels also says that Frank will not
surrender to anything but an unconditional
pardon from the president of the United
States. That something extraordinary is
in the wind, however, there is every reason
to believe.

Franks surrender, while the officials de-
clare there is nothing in it. Meanwhile,

road. The coroner's jury on arrival at the
place, found that the man had been dead a
long time and was much decomposed. His

came from Mckavitt, where last fall she
deliberately shot and killed white woman.
She WAS acquitted, and came to Concho to
avenge herself on one of the witnesses
another woman named Mollie Williams,
whom she asserts swore falsely
at her trial. Yesterday morning
she attacked Miss Williams with a
knife, and but for the timely interference of
outsiders, would have accomplished her
deyilish design. In Default of 5000 bail,
she was sent to Jail, to await the next term
of the district court.
We are panied to chronicle the death Of
Gabriel Monroe, a Mexican, and an old gov
eminent scout and guide, by drowning. He
got into boat, on the main Concho, with
Lieutenants Watson and Mcdonald, to ac-
company them to camp. The boat cap
sized. Lieutenants Mcdonald and Watson
nobly swan to the rescue of Monroe, who
clasped Mcdonald around the waist, and he
(McDonald) seeing his own life in danger,
was compelled to shove him Off The body
has not yet been recovered. Soldiers were
looking until dark, but they say the hole
of water has no bottom.
