DESPERATE OUTLAWS.

Captured Horse Thieves Rescued From a
United States Marsha1--A Bloody Raid.
TULSA, I. t., November ia few days
ago two noted horse thieves, John Trus.
ton and Silas Davis, were arrested near
Tulsa. Immediately on hearing of theil
arrest posse of cattlemen got together
near the southwest boundary of the Sac
and Fox Reservation, intending to seize
the horse thieves and hang them as the
officers passed that way with them. The
desperadoes of this section hearing of the
intention to hang their brethren.
made bold dash last evening
and rescued the prisoners from
and three Caddo Indians, who were
about twelve miles from this place with
the prisoners en- route to Wichita Agency.
Among the rescuing party were the no.
torious Truston, brothers of John T:us-
ton, both murderers, and Frank Starr, an
outlaw from Texas, who has killed six
men. Two outlaw Cherokee Indians also
assisted the desperadoes. They over
powed Deputy Curtis and his Indian
guards, robbed Curtis of all his money
and two horses, and securely bound the
Deputy and his three guards and left
them in the bushes. The desperadoes

finding Agent Nell absent, they raided the

frightening nc Indian women almost to
death. Several Indians who attempted to

and it is believed two were killed.
Among the wounded is Charlie Keokuk,
the sixteen-year-old son of Keokuk, the
head chief of the Sac and Fox tribe. The
desperadoes all succeeded in escaping

aborigines. Several of the tribes, i'm the
Sac and Fox reservation live in dread of
attacks and outrages from the ruthless
white desperadoes from Texas and Ar

GENERAL GRANTS MEMOIRS.

The First Volume Publisied--The Story of
His Ancestry. Early Life and Course at
West Point--The Mexican War, Maria ge
and Life in CaIifornia--The BattlefieIds of
the Great Rebellion and the Characters
They Produced.
NEW YORK. November 19.-The Irib-
nne says: ''The first volume of General
Grants book is published. 1t contains
nineteen Illustrations, including that OF
the house in which he was born. The
first of the fifty-nine chapters is devoted
to questions of ancestry, birth and boy
hood. The second takes up West Point
and graduation, and will doubtless aston
ish the cadets of to-day with its narrative
of quiet course of study, in which no
lesson was read twice and many hours
spent in miscellaneous reading. Chap
tiers three to six, inclusive, tell of his
army life, while chapters seven to thir-
teen deal with the Mexican war. The
writer's of stories for the young will be
dismayed that the General says that he
was not studious, and did not
like to work, but the search
for obvious reasons for his sue
cess in life will not be fruitless.
From the fourteenth TO the sixteenth
chapters inclusive is the narrative OF
his marriage and life in California up to
his resignation in the army. Even while
at West Point he had no military ambi-
ton. but looked forward to the life OF a
professor of Mathematics at some non
military college. The remaining twenty
three chapters are devoted to the war
of the rebellion, and there are maps OF
all the principal battlefields. The Cen
erals opinions on all questions, and his
estimates of persons who come within
his acquaintance, are freely related ana
new light is thrown on the character
of many Generals, notably upon that OF
General Joseph E. Johnston. The sec
ond volume touches incidentally upon
the Andrew johnson matter, which has
been the subjec+ of so much discussion
of late, caused by Mr.. DepeW's letter
1t will be published in March.

MONEY BAGS TIED TIGHT.

We have lately published two able
articles from the City Item. in rela-
ton to the disadvantages under
which Louisiana farmers labor to
secure money to carry on their crops
After giving the matter considerable
thought and discussion we see no
better way to remedy the trouble
than that suggested by the Item,
namely, to "domiciliate contracts in
New Orleans" thus doing away with
the necessity of money lenders en-
forcing their collections in the coun-
try courts. Under the present sys-
tenn, where the debtor can only be
sued in his domicile court, the delay,
difficulty and expense of enforcing
payment is such as to cause banks to
decline positively to take the risk;
and, until this matter is remedied by
legislative enactment, our planters
can not hope to escape paying double
rates of interest, as they will never
be able to secure the requisite means,
save through the medium of their
merchants. The intermediary SER
vice of the merchant is fully under
stood by the planters, and, while they
growl and continue to pay for such
service, no effort has as yet been
made to throw off the yoke. This is
q matter of vital importance to the
material prosperity of the planting
interests OF Louisiana, and the next
could not do better than
devote a fair mo6icum of it's time
devising ways and means to accom-
plish the much desired consummation
by which farmers can deal directly
with the banks.

Some years ago, says Pomeroy's
Democrat, we had in 0nr employ q
man who several times a day ran out

Every time he went out the cashier
was instructed to drop ten cents into
drawer to our credit. At the end of
IL months the man who had gone out
SO often had drank himself out Of a
good situation and the drawer, when
opened, was found to contain $500,
which we loaned to young man at
seven per cent interest. He used it to
purchase q set of timers tools. On
the 10th of February, 1876, he returned
it to us with interest, saying in his
letter that he had wife, two children
and property worth $500. The other
fellow is hummer, hunting for food
