1 strained to the last degree of tension be
 tween Attorney General Brewster and the 1 United States attorney of the most impor- | tant district in the country, General Stewart | IL. Woodford of the Southern district of New York, and recent developments indicate that the difficulty between the high officials
 has been brought to crisis through the l lnstrumentality of Anthony Comstock's s raid
 on New York lottery dealers. One incident connected with that raid has precipitated a
 stormy correspondence between Brewster and
 his powerful subordinate which has caused no little excitement here and leads to the belief that the District attorney cannot long retain his official head The facts thus far developed are as follows: Some time last tall one Morrissey was arrested by Postoffice Inspector Comstock for violation of law bv sending lottery circulars through the mails
 When the case was called the inspector was absent and Assistant District Attorney Appar with the approval of General Woodford dis. charged Morrissey. The Postof6ce depart ment complained to the department of ius- tlce of this action which led to sharp and acrlmonlous correspondence between the two officials.

 peradoes.
 DALLAS, Dec. 2S.-A 1snching of two cow boys took place in Pinville, Crook county, Wyoming Territory, on Friday night last. For several years the stock raisers of that section have suffered from frequent raids of horse thieves, and about fortnight ago thirty head of horses were taken. The band was well organized and so perfectly acquaint- ed with the country that their capture has been almost impossible. The stockmen hay ing ascertained who the thieves were cap. tured some of the weakest of the band, and the use of the rope on them efficient in obtaining a confession as to the membership of the band of which k. c. Swartz and John Sharpe were the leaders. The former, hear ing that their business had leaked out, went into Pineville and threatened to kill whom soever should interfere with him, but on Friday evening he was shot through the neck while at his table. The same night a band of masked men captured Sid Houston and Charles Luster, and, taking them about mile away, hanged them to tree. J. Vest on was shot through the head. The lynchers are on the track of the rest of she band
