INsEPARABLE COMPANIONS.
Mike Humphreys and ssTeXas,
Probably Nichols, MurdererS.


CHICAGO. March 17.-Within the past
twenty-fOur hours events have tranSpired
which have established the conviction
among detectives that Mike Humphreys
is one of the men who robbed the Rock
Island train and murdered Nichols. Hum
phreys' supposed accomplice in crime is
known 10 the police by the sobriquet of
Texas" He is brOad-shoudered. mu s.
cular fellow. five feet eight or nine inch IS
in height. weighs 40 pounds and has Jet
black hair and muStache. Texas was
known here TO certain city detectives as an
eX-stage robber. He came from the far
West. Though not at all communicative
about his past it leaked out that he left the
West to avoid the ardent pursuit of a lynch
ing party. 1t is said he and Humphreys
Were inseparable companions. They were
seen together very often in the neighbOr-
hood of South Halstead and Madison
streets. About three weeks ago they dis
appeared suddenly. and the detectives are
as yet not able to understand why, and
this phase of the matter is made still more
complicated by conflicting statements to
the effect that both men were seen on the
West side during the latter part of last
week. AT all events, investigation into
the case of both men has led to the posi-
tive belief that they are the guilty parties.

Stranger than Fiction.

A romance almost without parallel
came to light in Chattanooga, Tenn,
recently, and so intricately is the plot
interviewer that it would make truth
appear stranger than fiction. Thirty
years ago there resided near this city,
then struggling village, James Starns,
a sturdy young farmer, with a wife, and
two little boys. In 1884 Starns con-
Guided to try his fortune in the West,
and went to California A month later
having found pleasant settlement, he
sent his wife money with which to join
him. Mrs Starns wrote him, saying
she would leave in two months, but at
the end of that time she had received
no reply Starns wrote letter after let
ter to his wife and relatives and she
wrote to him, but neither received a
word of the other. Ten years after
ward Starns sent his wife $500, but the
money went back to him, as no one
called for it. BY this time both the
husband and wife supposed each other
dead. Mr.. 'Starns went to Michigan
and from there to Wisconsin, where,
six years ago, he married the daughter
of wealthy farmer. BY some fate he
drifted to Chattanooga. Not even
the oldest inhabitant remembered him,
and he could find no trace of his folks.
To-day he learned that family named
Starns resided near the city, and pro
curing a carriage took his wife to ascer
tain whether or not they were his rela
tives. Arriving at the house Starns wa:
Mortified to find the aged white-hairec
lady who received him was no othel

fact that he had two wives. An ex

Escaping from a Vessel.

Yesterday afternoon a colored man,
himself claiming to be an East Indian,
who had been articled in the American
Consulate as sailor on the bark Cali
fornia, asked Captain Davis, of that
vessel, for leave to go up town to get his
washing AS the vessel was ready to
sail for Port Townsend, the pilot being
on board, the captain asked Policeman
Hopkins to accompany the man and
bring him back. The officer consented
and entered hack with the sailor.
When passing the British Vice onsul's
office, Kaahumanu street, the sailor
said he was British subject and did
not want to 60 back to the vessel. At
the same time attempting to get out,
he was seized by the wrist and held
back. He began to struggle and make
a great outcry, and someone from the
Vice-Consuls office, the policeman
says, cautioned the latter to be careful
how he treated the man. The officer
explained the case SO far as he knew it,
and took the sailor to the Police Sta
ton. Then he notified Captain Davis
of what had occurred, informing him
that to get the sailor back he must lay
information against him for desertion
This was done, and Hopkins and
another officer took the negro back tc
the vessel in a hack. When being re
moved from the Station, the man re
sisted violently and shrieked like {
mailman. The policemen had all they
could do to hold him in the carriage
and his legs were kicking in the ali
over the side, as the hack was driver
rapidly round the corner into Nuuani
street He was put on board the ship
when he suddenly cooled down, telling
the captain that he did not want to g
away, as he had friends here, but i
was all right now The vessel was de
tanned by the wind falling away, ant
last night our reporter was informed
that the sailor had been allowed t
leave, but under what arrangement o
on what grounds could not be ascei
tanned. 1t is said he came here as
stowaway on the bark California.
