Many Of the rebels are giving up their arms
and the rebellion is entirely ended. Scouts
captured Riel at noon. He was On the
road, three miles north. of Batouche. He
was in company with three young men, all
of whom were armed. He appeared I'M
concerned. They said to him: 81 an
surprised to see you here" Riel said. II
was coming to give myself mp. He said his
wife and family were across the river.
While talking to him, Boulton's scouts
were seen coming up. and Riel, becoming
afraid of being shot, begged his csptors to
take him into camp themselves. Accord
ingly Diehl went of for his horse, but
when at q little distance away. Boulton's
scouts got close and Bowerie and Arm
strong took Riel on one of their horses, and
| taking u~nfrequented roads will bring Riel
| into camp this afternoon. Gen. Middleton
| gave orders that the men should keep in
| their tents when Riel comes in, 80 he is
afraid that some personal enemy OF Riel
will shoot him, many having sworn to shoot
| him ct sight.
GUARpE DE PAYS CROSSING. May 16.-
| Riel was brought in at $3.50 this afternoon;
no demonstration was made. He walked
quietly to the Generals tent. Riel said he
laid on Tuesday and Wednesday nights in
the bluffs one and one-hslf miles north OF
Batouche. He wished for trial and asked
Armstrong whether he would get . civil or
military trial. He said his wife and fam
lily were with half-breed women near by.
Riel appears careworn had hsggard. He
has let his hair grow long, and dressed in
q poorer fashion than most Of the half
breeds captured. While talking to Gen.
Middleton, as well as could be seen from
the outside of the tent, his eyes rolled from
side to side.
Have the Law Enforced.
HELENA. Ark, May 16.-At Friars Point,
about ten days ago, an old Chinaman was
beaten severely by two or three citizens
and ordered TO leave town, which he
started to do, going on the wharf boat to
wait for the boat. Self-authorized vigi-
lantes, not satisfied at this, went to the
/ rhaf aaroh% kha Hbtuornan thraD him
in to the river, and on his failing to drown
as quickly Is they desired. shot him to
death. The perpetrators of the murder
claim the Chinaman had assaulted a young
white girl, the daughter of one of the
lynching party, but other citizens say he
meant no harm to the girl, and did moth
ing to alarm her. The parties concerned
in the affair are prominent citizens of the
town, to be divided into two factions-one
desiring to shield the criminals, and the
other endeavoring to have the law enforced.
