returned last night from stevens County. where ne
went to investigate the massacre of Sheriff Cross and
his five deputies. He examined a large number Of
people In the different towns, and all the eye-w1t

haymakers lie down and rest, and that they were
sleeping and apprehending no danger when they we're
suddenly surrounded by Robinson and his men and
shot down without having any chance to defend them
selves All three OF these witnesses say that not ono

woodsdae. Everybody is armed and ready for at
tack, and waiting to hear from Governor Martin Tho
Governor has to appoint new sheriff for Stevens
County, and both towns have submitted a name from
their respective places to General Bradford but It is
not likely that either will be appointed. Robin

spread it about six inches thick

in between four and five tons of green
