Work ofVig.ilantes.

YANKToN, Dak., Dec. 17.-Positive information was received to-day from
 Niobrara Valley to the effect that the vigilantes had got away with five horse and cattle thieves within the last ten days. Wade Murphy and Weatherwax were hung; White, Hoyt and old man Weatherwax were shot; Culbertson, Stewart Morris and Cline are in custody and under indictment. If the court fails to punish them, the vigilantes will give them considerable attention. Mcfarland, who was cap tured and indicted, escaped. The cause of this summary work is long, continued depredations by Niobrara band of cattle thieves. For years past they operated with the boldest lm- punity among herds on pasture lands. This same band of thieves were form crly famous highwaymen, with Doe. Middleton" as leader. When he was killed it was supposed the gang would break up and scatter, but it gained in strength and became more formidable than in the days of its notorious chief
 The band finally reached such pro, portions thaS the law was absolutely set at defiance. They ruled the valley with impunity. Last winter meet. ing of stockmen and farmers was held for the purpose of organizing. vigi
 lance committee to rid the valley O.
 this scourge. This committee gave the desperadoes final warning few months ago to leave the country They disregarded the warning ant the result is that ten of them are nov

Monopolies in our. Midst.

There seems to be a general com plaint on the part of our business in terestS, as also with the freighters between Wilcox and this place, aris- ing from the monopoly in hauling and handling the coke of the Old Domin- ion Copper Co. located here. As we understand it, the coke is consigned to MesSrs. Liberman & Co. at Wilcox, who have exclusive control in for warding to Globe. In the discharge of this duty is where the complaints arise; first they dictate what the rate shall be; second, what teams they will employ. The teamsters, having no combination and being poor men as a rule, have to submit to both the rate and the pleasure of Messrs. Liberman & Co.-but this is not all The time consumed in round trip from Will COX to Globe and back is little short of thirty-five days, hence quite an out lay in feed and provisions has to be made for man and beast. Right here lays the pay streak and the serious ob- iections to this little monopoly: Messrs. Liberman & Go. say to the freighters, buy your grub and your barley of us, or you can get no coke to haul. For the one company about fifteen tons of coke are consumed daily; freight at $35 per ton is S525; return freight, ten tons daily, $130 1t isswell known that the teamsters make but little money in this business; who then is benefited by it? Liberman & Co.,, of course, no one else being allowed to participate in it. What the business men of Globe, and the freighters want is, to burst up this little monopoly and have fair competition both in hauling and furnishing supplies. Globe should trade with these team sters from six to ten thousand dollars monthly, whereas she trades not a cent with them. How shall this be brought about? By, if necessary, the paying an agent to receive and ship the coke at Wilcox. Arrangements no doubt could be made with the Old Dominion Co. so that all have a fair show. Let then the business interests of Globe and the freighters come to- gether in public meeting and see what can be done in the matter.
 FAIR PLAY.

&SO,0OO Gone!

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.-The Chronicle publishes in substance the following marvel. Captain w. F. Swasey, the oldest pioneer of the coast, makes a statement of the intense suffering of his friend Col. D. J. Williamson, an Army officer of distinction and an Ex-U. s. Consul, who was attacked in the winter of 18612 with violent rheumatism. So great was his agony in after years, he became a helpless cripple, and after trying numberless remedies, the baths of other countries and spending fortune of S2O, 900, the disease seemed to assume a more viru- lent type. Finally, he was persuaded to try St. Jacobs Oil, the great con- queror of pain. It worked a miracle of cure. In letter to the Chronicle he confirms Capt. Swasey's statement and adds: "I cheerfuIly give my un- qualified attestation to the truthful ness of the statement, because feel perfectly certain that a knowledge of my cure by St. Jacobs Oil, will prove the means of relieving hundreds of sufferers"

In the Colton trial at Santa Rosa, the following excerpt from letter written by Huntington, president of the s. P. R. R., shows that his esti- mate of the cost of purchasing an Ari- zona legislature was very low one. He writes: q believe that, for the sum of $5,000, the legislatisre of Ari- zona could be called together, and a charter granted our road which would free it from taxation and one that would not allow of any interference with rates until 10 per cent interest was declared on the common stock. , The San Francisco Chronicle com menting on this letter, says: "We do not know how much was eventually paid for this purpose, but we do know that the Arizona legislature was bribed to gratify certain wishes of the monop- oly managers. Whatever was paid it was too much, for the men bought were an awful scaly set"

CAPTURED AT LAST
Murphy and Gibson Again
 in the Tolls.
A History of their Adventures Since
 Escaping from Jail.

John Murphy and David Gibson, charged with murdering James Levy, in Tucson, in June, 1882, and who, together with William Mover, escaped from the Pima county jail, Oct. 2oth of the same year, have been appre- hended in California, and are again in jail in Tucson and will be called upon to answer to the indictments already obtalned against them. They, proba- ply, will be arraigned for trial at once, as the district court is now in session. Mover, who was caught in Denver, has been tried and found guilty of murder in the second degree.
 All the principals in this murder are old residents of Arizona, and, as the case has attracted universal attention, a history of their travels since they es- capped from the Tucson jail will be of interest to our readers. Our infOr- mant has gleaned the following facts from friends of theirs, who were aware of their whereabouts since they es- capped, and also from one of the princl- pals: After the jail delivery the fugi- tives sought refuge Tn the Santa Cata- lima mountains. After being there but a short time, they were informed that Sheriff Paul knew where they were, and had dispatched messenger to the San Carlos reservation for the purpose of procuring twenty Indians to hunt them down. On the receipt of this information, Murphy, Mover and Gib- son started for the White Mountains, and Tim Hurley, (who had escaped with them) striking out in the direc- ton of Texas. The latter was after wards captured, and is now doing time in Yuma-2O years. The three former selected an almost impregnable posi- tion in the White Mountains, being plentifully supplied with provisions by friends. Sometime during April, of the present year, the trio ranged Tn the vicinity of Riverside, sometimes making a rendezvous at Redfield's ranch, on the San Pedro, and the fact that the stage running between Globe and Florence was taken in several times, led many persons to think that these parties were the perpetrators of the robberies. A difficulty occurring between Murphy and Mover, about this time, caused a separation between this gang of worthles, Gibson and Murphy going in one direction, and Mover taking his departure in the direction of Sonora. At Magdalena he was fortunate enough to make a large winning, and he concluded to make visit to his old home in St. Louis, where his parents atpresentre- side. Aftera short stay there, he again started West, and, (so our informant states,) while engaged in a game of poker in club-room, in Denver, one night, was recognized by Tom Fitch, who asked him to call at his office next day. Mover complied, and his arrest and subsequent conviction are familiar to our readers. Murphy and Gibson, after their departure from the Terri tory, travelled through New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, and met Mover in Gunnison City, in the latter state, a short time previous to his arrest. The supposition is that after Movers cap ture, those two started for California, where, as previously stated, their cap turc was effected. Verify, the way of the transgressor is hard.
