A CUNNING SCHEME.

An Escaped Convicts Game that Did Not
Materialize An Alleged Conspiracy To
Rob the State Treasury Revealed by
Clutch Charley" in the Hope of n Re
ward for the Information.
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo- Sept. II.
On Saturday morning last State Treas.
urer Chappell received a call at his resi-
dence from stranger apparently about
fifty years of age, who informed him that
the State Treasury was to be robbed at
noon on Tuesday, and that he was one of
party of five who were to do the work.
However, he concluded it was too risky "a
job and had determined to give the gang
away. The plans as detailed were to enter
the Treasury Department at the time desig.
mated and capture and gag whoever hap
pened to be in the office at the time, and
then go through the vault and take the
money and bonds deposited there, after
which they would make their escape la
Jesse James. Mr.. Chappell put his mystic
rious visitor through arigid crosse nina
ton, which developed the information that
the stranger was pretty thoroughly &C.
quainted with the workings of the Treasury
Department, as well as the number of men
who would probably be about the office and
D"hNihS Ne WIG mum PloPooSu lpI tnt lOb'
berry. Mr.. Chappell told him that should
this affair turn out as he stated, he would be
well rewarded. This seemed to satisfy him,
and he took his departure, saying that the
robbers were all st. Louis men, and had no
idea that he would give them away. He
also promised to call on Mr.. Chappell at
eight O'Clock Sunday night This ended
the interview, and Mr.. Chappell went to
the Capitol and informed his clerk of what
had happened, and Notwithstanding the
story was discredited it was deemed wise
to take proper precautions. 1t now turns
out to have been nothing but the ruse of
"Dutch Charley" low-grade criminal of
the sneak-thief order, who put up the story
in the hope of inducing the State Treasurer
TO pay him something by way OF reward
for the information. This Treasurer Chap
pell refused TO do unless it should turn out
to be worth something. Dutch Charley rep
resented that he had recently been dis
charged from the Penitentiary, under the
three-fourths rule, when in fact he is an
escaped convict. He failed to keep his APP
pointment made with Treasurer Chappell,
which goes to confirm the opinion that he
told the story merely to make raise, par
ticularly as he was very solicitous about
funds to pay his hotel bills He is we'll
known to the prison authorities here, and
they all pronounce him a sneak thief and
liar of the worst character 4II

LoSevfEw Tx. Sept H.
reign OF terror prevails in every por.
ton OF the county, except, perhaps, Eilgore,
from which place there il no report. The
excitement is due to a raid on whites sup.
posed to be contemplated by negroes. The
white farmers have their wives and chill.
dren in gin-houses, and are holding guard
over them. In some communities little
sleep has been had since Friday night, and
haggard faces with looks of fear or stern
determination are seen everywhere, beto.
kening the extremities produced bv the
blood-curdling reports brought on by each
new arrival. Hundreds of countrymen
were in LoDgview to-day, and on returning
to their homes carried all the arms and am.
munition obtai able. In many cases when
the last weapon was called for number
would grab for it as though in desperation,
and strive to obtain it, as if their lives de-
pended upon its possession, A now supply
of fifty Winchesters was among what was
taken by the countrymen. 1t is reported
that the negroes received by express at
Gladwater, the next, station west, fifty
Winchesters, and that weapons are being
received by them all over the country.
Probably the whole trouble has arisen from
threats and speeches of few coored per.
sons of bad repute, whose course is not
sanctioned and was not known by the mass
of negroes. There are indications that a,
much fear has been excited among the lat
ter as among the whites. However this
may be, people have been carried to such
pitch of excitement that it is certain that
should white person be molested, one of
the bloodiest tragedies will be enacted ever
known.

THAT COWBOY FIGHT.
Another Account of the Recent Colorado
Cowboy Confiict-Decidedly different De-.
tails.
DENVER, Cor, Sept. Il.

DENVER, COL, Sept. II.
The following is the most authentic ac-
count of the recent killing on Ute Creek,
and differs materially from the reports that
have appeared. Last Friday five cowboys,
under the influence of whisky, rode into
Ute Creek, small village about fifty miles
from San Hilario. Don Macedinio Aragon
was standing in front Of the store, and was
in the act of proceeding in search of stray
horse. They requested him to go to the
rear of the store and call the clerk. Aragon
refused. The cowboys then began to
abuse him. Aragon, apprehending some
harm, went TO the house, procured rifle
and proceeded on his way in search of the
horse. The cowboys, seeing him with the
rifle in his possession, rode towards him.
One in advance of his comrades came up
with Aragon and proceeded to shake hands
with him. After he obtained possession of
Aragon's hand he held ON to it firmly while
the other cowboys began firing at AraS,,n
with their revolvers. Aragon finally dis.
engaged his hand from the grasp of the
cowboy and sent bullet from his rife
through one of the cowboys, which killed
him instantly. Aragon retreated to a house
near by, the cowboys continuing to fire
upon him as he ran. After reaching shelter
from the storm OF bullets, he sent another
ball into the breast of one of the surviving
cowboys, which instantly ended his career.
He fired again and wounded another By
this time AragoH was 80 weak from four
wounds, together with the loss Of blood,
that he could no longer fire. The cowboys
hed TO Texas, and are still at large. Ara.
gon fingered twelve hours, when he
breathed hiR last
