information was received to-day from

with five horse and cattle thieves with
in the past ten days. Wade, Murphy
and W~eatheraux were shot. Culbert-
son, Stewart, Morris and Cline are in
custody aud under indictment. II the
court fails to punish them, the vigilan-
tes will give them ~considerate atten-
ton. Mcfarland, who was captured
and indicted, has escaped. The cause
OF this summary work Is the long con-
tinued depredations by the Niobrara
band of cattle thieves. For years past
they have operated with the boldest i'm
punity among herds on rich pasture
lands. This same band Of thieves were
formerly famous highwaymen, with

he was killed, 1t was supposed the gang
would break up and scatter; but instead
1t gained In strength and became more
formidable than In the days of It's noto

proportions that law was absolutely set
at defance-they ruled the valley with
impunity. Last winter a meeting Of
stockmen an d farmers was held for thu
purpose Of organizing a vigilance com
