LATE TELEGRAPH NEWS.
A DESPERATE CREMATED.
He Takes Refuge In a Barn Which Is
Burned Over Him.


OMAHA, March 22.-Bee's Oakland,
special: Ed. johnson, a desperate,
who killed his employer on Saturday,
and since has been intrenched in a barn
near Oakland, and who has resisted ali
attempts to capture him, and who
killed the man who with others made
the attempt, was finally captured this
morning.
LATER Special to the Omaha Bee
says: The barn which the desperate
concealed himself in was set fire to
about half past five last evening, and
ne was killed by falling in the flames.
When the flames subsidized the body
was found to be in large pile of oats.
The body was found to be riddled with
bullets. 1t is supposed he would have
escaped but for the wounds.
The murderer was buried in a con-
tlguous corn field. The crowd was
bent on taking the charred and roasted
corpse and feeding it to the hogs. The
sheriff had hard work in resisting the
crowd and accordingly the remains re-
ceived human burial. The desperado's
revolver was found in the oats and
proves to be a good six-shooter, double
acting Colts forty-fve calibre, Ivory
handle with the head of a Texas cow
engraved on it. Johnson's barn in
which the murderer took refuge is COM
pletely destroyed with it's contents.
Eight valuable head of mules three hor-
ses and three COWS were burned in the
barn and shed. A great deal of grain was
also destroyed. The barn and contents
was valued at $4,000, which is supposed
the county will pay. If notthe amount
will be raised by private contributions.
