got away with five horse and cattle
thieves within The last ten DAYS. Wade,
Murphy and young Weat lierwax we're

Weatherwax were shot. ColbortsOn,

escaped. The cause of this summary
work il the long continued depTedations
by the Ni0brara band of cattle thieves.
For years past they have operated with
the bOlaest impunity among herds
on the pasture lands. This same band
of thieves we're formerly famous high
waymen, with doc" Middleton as
leader, and when he was killed it was
supposed the gang would break no and
scatter. Instead it became more for
midable than in the days of its notOri-
Gus chief. Finally the band reached such
proportions that the law was absolutely
set at defiance. They ruled the valley
with IMMUNITY. Last winter meeting
Of stOckmen aud farmers was held for
the purpose Of organizing q vigil
lance committee TO rid the
valley of the terrible scourge.
This committee gave the des-
peradOes final warning q few months

garded the warning, and as result ten
of them are now under the sod.
