which the above extract is quoted
come into the hands Of Frank kru-
sen who came with that and other
circumstances to District Attorney
Nichols, who began at n a cores
pondence with the sheriff of Butler
County, Kansas, which we are in
formed has lead to some very pecu-
liar developments.
The body found as for as any
description has been given, we are
told, corresponds with Oscar Krusen,
and the spade found near the grave
marked with the initials o. G. K,
corresponding exactly with a spade
taken from this county by Krusen,
those being his initials. AS to
whether any other property has
been found belonging to the missing
man or not we are unable to say;
but can say that if many more cir
cumstances arise than those already
made known, the matter will 60
pretty nard with the accused par.
ties.
Since the above was in type, Mr..
H T. Dodson, sheriff of Butler Co.
Kansas, where this crime was CON-
mltted and Mr.. Coleman, city mar
shal.of Usage, Kansas, have arrived in
our city with a requisition from the
Governor or Kansas supon the Gov
ernor of this Territy for the parties.
These gentlemen give some add
tional particulars of the murder and
the chain of evidence that is wind
ing itself around Lariway will GER
tainly convict him of the terrible
crime. The body that was found
which there seems to be no reason
to doubt now, was Oscar G. Krusen,
had a ball through the skull which
caused his death. The little boy Of
Krusen has also been found and is
now with the family of Mr.. Cole
man the marshal Of Usage. This
little boy will be able to give some
very important testimony. After
the murder, Lariway started home
and left the little fellow on the de-
pot platform at a station called
Newton, near Usage, where he was
found crying for Orlin. He was
asked what his name was, and said
that it was "Johny Jones'" that
Orlin told him to say that his name
was "Johny Jones'" The boy also
says that Orlin told him that some
naughty man shot Oscar. his papa.
To-day justice Smythe dismissed
the case upon a motion Of J. A.
Wallace, Esq, attorney for Lariway,
owing to an informality in the pro-
ceedings. The prosecution we're
aware of the probable dismissal,
and were prepared with another
warrant and immediately arrested
Larway and his wife. The hearing
was set for tomorrow Thursday at
one o'clock. The proceedings we're
instituted merely for the purpose of
holding the parties until the Kansas
officers received their warrant from
Gov. Pierce upon the requisition.
We understand however that Lari-
way has agreed to waive the war
rant from the Gov. and will go
quietly with the Kansas officers to.
morrow.
P. Stairway has recinded his
promise to go with the officers and
the hearing will proceed as above
stated.

General Sherman's explanation OF
the sentence quoted from one Of his
letters by General Fry is clear enough.
People wondered whether, after all
Sherman's repeated expressions OF
friendship to General Grant, he should
have really entertained different feel
ines toward the great leader His
saving that if {. +. Smith had lived
Grant would have been unknown 10
fame was written in connection with a
line OF thought relating to Halleck' :
disposition 10 get rid of Grant. Any
one who is familiar with the circum-
stance knows, or at least has good
reason for believing with Sherman
that il Smith had been able TO take
command Immediately after the sur
render of Donelson, he would have
superseded Grant, and that might have
changed the situation materially. rs
it was nothing but Grants answering
LOYALTY TO his country and earnest de-
yotion TO duty, kept him in the serv-
ice after he learned the drift of Hal
leck's thoughts.-
