assistance in the work which his deputy
had engaged in, succeeded in getting
track of them again. They had gone
north from 0galalla and it was supposed
that they would turn up in the vicinity of
Camp Robinson. Scurry was sent to
Fort Laramie to await instructions from
Hcsford, who soon learned that they had
returned to the vicinity of North Platte.
He therefore telegraphed to Scurry to re-
turn to Cheyenne at once. Scurry obeyed
orders at once and returned to Cheyenne
three or four days ago. He was then di-
rected to proceed to North Platte at once
and report to Sheriff Bangs, who by that
time had been informed by Hosford just
where the birds would be found, Scurry
went down there and night before last
Bangs and Scurry captured the two
brothers a few miles from North Platte
and took them into custody. They were
taken completely by surprise and offered
no resistance. Yesterday morning Scurry
departed from North Platte with his
prisoners on his way to Texas, going by
the way of Omaha. To Deputy Sheriff
Hosford the authorities of the state of
Texas are indebted for the capture of
these two murderers, and we doubt not
hat in due time he will get the reward he
has so fully earned.

STARTED OFF.
The Maloney-HetcaIf Jury Gone to
the SabiIIe.
Some of the Features of a Peculiar
Case.

1t was the intention of Coroner Chaffin
to start for the Sabille at AN early hour
yesterday morning for the purpose of
holding the inquest over the body of Ma
loney, which is supposed 10 still be hang
ing on the fatal tree where he was strung
up by the Brush Greek yigilantes Monday
night, but the plan of operation was
altered a little and it was decided to take
the testimony of Mrs. Metcalf as to the
identity of the body. After this had
been decided uponit was ascertained (what
afterwards, however, proved to be un-
true hat Mrs. Metcalf had departed on
the early Denver train, and thus an OPP
%portunity to take her testimony was lost,
and the same might be said also of the
testimony of DR.. Marston as to the length
of time Metcalf had been dead. Indeed,
it transpires that no examination of the
body was made by him as requested by
County Attorney Baird, for the reason,
probably, that the Doctor was suddenly
and unexpectedly called away to
Hillsdalc to attend n patient.
After it was aseertained that nothing
could be accomplished by remaining here
any longer, the Coroner and his Jury de-
parted in livery teams on their mission.
The jury, as stated yesterday morning,
consists of Warren Richardson, Sr., Yer
non McCandlish, o. p. Goodwin, A. +.
Williams, c. G. Charlton and James
Vaughn, In company with them went
the two parties who brought the body of
Metcalf to Cheyenne. The testimony in
the Metcalf case will thus, as a matter of
necessity, have to be taken by the jury
when they arrive at Brush creek. The
identity of the body can besestablished by
Nichols and Post, and as to the shooting
of Metcalf by Maloney, there will prob
ably be no lack of testimony as regards
this feature of the case. But whether
anything definite will be ascertained in
regard to the lynching of Maloney is
quite another question. Nichols and
Post can testify, of course, to the mere
fact of the lynching, and there will be no
trouble to establish that, but the great
question will be as TO who done it. These
men were undoubtedly masked at the
time when Maloney was forcibly taken
from the custody of Nichols and
Post and hanged, and if they were not it
would probably be a matter of great DIFF
ticulty to identify any of them, for it was

The next thing in n theatrical way at
the Opera house will be Mr.. and Mrs.
George S. Knight, who appear here in
the play of otto. Knight is a first class
German dialect artist, and is ably sup
ported by his wife and a strong company.
The party is on its return trip Fast from
San Francisco. The Daily Examiner, of
that city, says in reference to the play:
"OHo, a play by Fred Marsden, was
performed at the Baldwin last evening by
MIR. and Mrs. George Knight. Otto, a
young German, is the long lost heir to an
estate which the trustee 'Gottleib Muller, -
approprlates to his own use after a vain
search for the rightful owner. This trans
action puts Muller in the power of the
heavy william, ''Caspar Beeks, and the
business of the play is to free Muller, - de
feat the william, prove Otto to be notonly
the longl lost heir, buta parag0nofhonOran and
generosity, and reward him with the love
of "Muller's most desirable daughter.
Mrs. Knight plays the pretty part of Lis
cite charmingly, and made quite as much
a success oft as Mr.. Knight did of"Otto.''
Their songs and dances were all pleasing,
some were new and all were very well re-
ceived. The play is something more than
a vehicle for their specialities, but it is
strong enough to make an impression on
its merits. There was a good house and
plenty Of applause at the performance
last night, and it ought to draw well dur
ing the week.

THE FREIGHTER,s AFFRAY.
Very Little Additional Light Thrown
Upon the Matter Yesterday.

There seems to be n mystery in regard
to the news about the killing of one of
the men of Judge Beans outfit which it
is difficult to %unravel and solve. Mrs.
Bean heard of the matter before the ac-
count of the affair appeared in yesterday
mornings LEADER, and in an interview
with that lady yesterday our reporter
learned that she too was looking around
for the greater part of the day on We'd
nesday to ascertain where the news came
from, but without success, although she
went almost everywhere in order to learn
the facts in the case and also how the
news reached the city. Several parties
called at her residence and stated that
thsy had heard the story and desired to
know whether she had learned anything
definite in regard to it. She had not
however, and yesterday, although she
again endeavored to find out something
in regard to the matter she learned moth
ing either by mail or otherwise. She
heard that the mules when found were
all dead, having starved to death while
hitched to the wagons, from which they
could not break loose being too weak from
starvation and thirst to break away. Mrs.
Bean very much fears that the rumor is
well founded, and that something of the
character has happened, and she is greatly
worried over the matter. She states that
Judge Beans teams left Cheyenne two
weeks ago or a little over, bound for Fort
Fetterman, heavily loaded with freight.
Judge Bean remained in the city, and did
not intend to go himself, but he received
a telephone communication from Horse
creek, stating that two Of his men had
had a quarrel, and that one of them had
quit his employ. Judge Bean hired n
man here in the city, and taking him
along, followed up and overlook the
train, since which time she has
not heard from him. The man
who quit the team or was discharged,
came back TO Cheyenne, but the one
taken along by Judge Bean has not come
back here so far as she knows and she
therefore infers that he took the place of
the man who quit the service and has
gone on with the train. Mrs, Bean hoped
very much that she would have heard
something by mail yesterday, but in this
she was disappointed. 1t is just possible
that this whole story may have grown
out of the fact of the quarrel between
the two teamsters which we have already
mentioned. 1t is to be hoped that such
is the case, but the chances are that there
is more of the affair than this, which will.
If such be the case, come to light in a
day or two.

The Circus.

oh, there's many Il jolly thing
Thai blossoms with the spring,
For then II is that Nature her miracles doth
work MS
But OF all the things That sprout.
The best. beyond a doubt.
Is the cnnvas-tented, sawduSt scented, always
jolly circus
With n thrill Of glad surprise
The youngster stands aulGycs
Each gorgeous colored posteTfAat decoratcs
the fences.
And which, in glowing TENS,
His own belief confirms, q
That the coming show to all who go will dazzle
quite their senses.
And when the day arrives,
And the gilded chariot drives
Respondent through the town, with music play
ing.
Pray. where's the boy who'd not
Give all the wealth he's got
To be the clown who wins renown by funny
speeches sayingP
And once within the tent.
Though 1t takes his every cent,
Your lO-year-old is happier than any monarch
ruling;
While he laughs with keenest zest,
And declares each act the best,
From the entree gay with rich array to final
trick mules fooling.
The intrepid bareback rider,
With the girl whose skirts don't hide
her,
The leapers and the tumbler, and the horse to
music prancing,
And the brothers who with ease
Mount the treacherous trapeze,
And the nimble-Gootcd gent who keeps the
barrel dancing.
The nerves that never faltcr,
The double somersauItcr.
Who clears Il stud of horses with safety and
precision
All these their glory fling
Around the sawdust ring,
And so enamour by their glamour every boyish
vision.
To you and me, perhaps
(Old, gray, and wrinkled chapsl,
This glamour, with some other things, has long
ago departed
But your trustful lO-year- old
Finds all the glitter gold.
And so did You before you grew too wise To be
light-hearted.
So the praises still | sing
OF the Jolly sawdust ring,
Which comes to us when Nature her miracles
doth work us
For the happicst of things
Which the gentle spring-time brings
Is the canyas-tented, sawdust- scented, much
fnequcnted circus. pdndyAe Brotcn.

THE LITERARY SOCIETY.
A Largely Attended Meeting at the
Congregational Church.

An unusually large and brilliant audi
ence assembled in the lecture room of the
Congregational church last evening on
the occasion of the semi-monthly meet
ing of the Dramatic and Literary society.
President Hoyt presided. The pro
gramme of the entertainment was opened
with a piano duet, beautifully rendered
by Mrs. George l.. Holt and Mrs. Walter
S. Hurlbut. This was followed by a
brief paper by Hon. L. s. n. Morgan,
entitled "A Glance at Private Judgment. "
The paper was replete with historical
references and vigorously maintained the
position that private judgment should be
respected and maintained. Succeeding
this was a piano solo by Miss Laura b.
Hall. The selection was peculiarly beau
tiful and was rendered with a grace and
fidelity altogether charming. Rev. DIR.
Cowhick opened the discussion of the
question, "Who, all in all, is to be con
sidered the greatest American poet p He
placed Longfellow at the head of the list
and in some respects ranked him with the
greatest poets the world has produced.
Mr.. Il. A. Slack, of the Sun, did not
read a regularly prepared paper, but in
stead gave a hasty glance over the field of
poets and closed his remarks by reading
one of VIII Cartoons beautiful poems.
Mr.. Jno. L. Carroll, of TIE LEADER,
followed in Il paper in which he give to
LongtellOw the pre-eminent place. Rev.
e. ii. Eldridge had no regularly prepared
paper, but remarked that as both himself
and Longfellow had been born in Maine
he certainly would rank that poet first.
As was to be expected Miss Dove Wiley's
vocal solo, with guitar accompaniment,
was beautifully rendered. 1t was
loudly oncGred and in response
the lady then sang a humorous piece
which was received with great applause.
After the usual intermission for social in
~tercourse, Miss Clara b. Terry sang
Come Back to Erin with much grace
and strength of expression. She was also
obliged to respond to an encore. Hon.
William Ware Peck followed in a char
acteristic paper, in which he spoke more
particularly of Longfellow's poem, The
Bridge" As is the ease with all of
Judge Peck's papers, it was remarkable
for its strength of diction and elegance of
literary finish. A duet in which Miss
Rose North presided at the piano and Mr..
Barney David played upon the violin, was
beautifully rendered and richly merited
the generous applause which it received.
A vocal duet by Mrs. w. w. Corlett and
Mr.. Orrin Miller, who were accompanied
on the piano by Miss Morgadaunt, was
received with pleasure by the audience
land called forth a vigorous encore. Mrs.
John W. Hoyt's poem on April as
read by President Hoyt. was a very meri-
torious production. The evenings en-
tertainment concluded with a beautifully
rendered vocal quartctte, in which Mrs.
d. NJ. King, Miss HOllister, Mr.. John
NJ. McCandlish and Mr.. Thomas F. Dur
bin participated. At the close of the ex-
e~rcises it was decided to suspend the
operations Of the sOcicty's bylaws and
give another entertainment at a time to
be hereafter designated.
