Dean Monday night, who is one of the
hardest characters known to the force here.
About eight years ago Dean was arrested
by the Cairo force for robbing lady on the
steamer James Fisk while on her way
from Paducah here. He was tried and
sent from this county to Chester for five
years, He served out his time and was do
ing we'll for while in St. Louis, but has
gone back to his old tricks. Magistrate
Comings fined him $50 and costs for being
vagrant and gave him stay" to leave
town in four hours, or before sun down yes
terday.
The nomination of Capt. Jno. r, Thom-
as, by the Congressional Convention at Car
bondale next month, is now foregone
conclusion; and more still, it is almost
certain that he will be nominated ON the
first ballot. So far Republican County
Conventions have been held in MaSsac,
Williamson, johnson and Union counties.
These four counties will be represented in
the Congressional Convention by IS, 10, 10
and II delegates respectively, or total of
60-all of which have been instructed TO
vote for Capt. Thsmss. And now comes
Randolph County which held her primaries
last Saturday, at which 1874 delegates were
elected to the County Convention to be held
next Saturday. Of these 134 delegates for
the County Convention 90 are known to be
for Capt. Thomas, S5 for Geo. W, Smith
and 0 had not been positively heard from
here yesterday. Randolph County will
have 81 delegates in the Congressional
Convention all of whom will be instructed
for Capt. Thomas next Saturday; and that
will give the Capt. 81 votes so far, or
votes more than will be necessary to nomi-
nate him. Besides this Pope County is
counted upon as certainly for Capt. Thomas
and it will have 16 delegates. In view of
all this Hon. w. s. Rogers and Hon. Geo.
w. Smith may as well retire from the field.

Killburn, the Bowie County (Tex.) mur-
derers, captured at Harrisburg, this State,
few days ago, were yesterday bound
over to the Circuit Court of Poinset
County, on charge of stealing horse

murder. Johnson, the alleged detective,
who was instrumental in their apprehen-

terously connected with them, has not
been heard from. Waltham and KiIlburn

SHARP PRACTICE.
Effort to Capture the Kansas Delega
ton for Arthur.

Effort to Capture the Kansas Delega-
ton for Arthur.
LEAvENwORTH, KAs., May cit is
known that strong but quiet effort
is being made to induce members of
the Kansas delegation to the Ma
tioual Republican Convention, elected
in the interest of Blaine, to change
to Arthur. 1t has been discovered that
Senator Plumb, who heads the delega-
tion and was supposed to be for Blaine,
is really for Arthur, and that before the
delegation was chosen he expressed the
wish that it might be chosen in the in.
terest of Arthur, but when he found it
could not be done, as Kansas Republi-
cans are for Blaine, he advocated the
choosing OF an uninstructed delegation.
That was done andSt the work of conver-
sion has begun. Boasts are made by
prominent federal officials that the Kan
saS delegation will be for Arthur. The
Blaine men are in anything but a pleas
ant mood over the efforts to steal their
delegation.

Stock was poured out without regard to
