he had been employed as a cowboy. He
says he was born in Pennsylvania and that

the blood oftwo murdered victims. Whether
from a com5in alton OF i'll starred circum-

terrible and his situation deplorable. II

this at the hands of mob made up of y

practically no death penalty in this State his
execution would have been swift and sure.
Whether that would have been better than

every hour through fear of the vengeance

and preying conscience, we will not pre-
tend to say. That he breads summary exc

Sheriff Watt and Deputy Webster undertook
last Saturday evening, to take Cobb back to
the Winfield Jail, but found it impossible to
get their prisoner safely through the town,
the people having found out by some means
that Cobb would reach that place that night.
Alter guarding their prisoner in the woods
for several hours, they put him into the
hands Of the sheriff of Butler county, who
took him to Eldorado. Even should the Of
icers succeed in getting him within the
Winfield Jail, he will without doubt be
forcibly taken thercfrom and hung.

A young man by the name of Josiah Ladd,
millwright and brother to +. o. Ladd, was
found dead in his room over Israels store,
Monday night about nine O'Clock, with a
bullet hole in his head and his pistol, q self
cooking arrangement, at his side. His pock-
ct book was found undisturbed on table
near by. His brother was out attending a
concert. But a few minutes previous to the
report of the pistol, which alarmed those
near by and which led to his discovery, he
had been in company with companions and
in his usual spirits. Ills brother thinks the
shooting must have been accidental and not
with suicidal intent, as he can conceive of no
plausible reason for SO dreadful an act.
Squire Junkermann, acting coroner, sum-
moncd jury, but no further light was
thrown upon the unhappy affair. Young
Ladd was a sober, industrious man, and
scarce twenty-five years Of age. The fact
that two shots were fred and that his tenn.
pie where the ball took effect was not powder
burned, Influenced many to think that there
might have been foul play, but that was
hardly probable, as lady occupying an adj
