VIRoQUA Wis. June 1.-Andrew Grand
staff, murderer Of old Reuben Drake, his wife
and two grandchildren, was captured while in
bed last night by Pinkerton men and two local
officers Today the detectives pumped a full
confession out of him. He intended to rob the
old man, but was unable to make Drake dis
close the place where the family valuables were
held. This led to the killing of Drake. Mrs
Drake attempted to shoot Grandstan and he
slew her in the presence OF two children. To
prevent the Titles ones telling he cut their
throats. Grandstaff was found in shanty
in the backwoods. He travelled
ten miles after the murder before
morning, and washed his clothing in the
Kickapoo river, afterward retracirg his steps

the road, Grandstaff has been known as a
young, but cunning and daring semi-desperado
who made his living as lumberman and hun
ter. He has been participant in several
ARRAYS and an associate of hard characters.
Little is known of his antecedents, except
that he was of illegitimate birth The people
were greatly excited by the capture and lynch
ing was threatened at the first opportunity
Troops were promptly ordered out by Gov
error Rusk.
AT late hour tonight one thousand deter
mined men surrounded the jail but the authori-
ties refused to give up the prisoner. The bar
ricades were then broken down and the officers
were overpowered. An hour was spent in
breaking down the steel cage, and then the
prisoner fought with desperate fury against
the mob that sought to enter The struggle
did not last long. Ho was taken out. bound
hand and foot, led to the porch below, and
there preparations were made to hang him. A
rope was placed around his neck and tho pris-
oner was asked what he had to say. lie pro-
tested innocence, but it was known that he
had made a full confession in the afternoon,
and he was not believed.
The scene at the Jail is horrible. The prisoner
is cooered with, blood, having boon terribly

Der one year six men were hung there, all for crimes
committed in the Indian territory and four were
indians, one negro and one white man. Many
OF the Indians owned slaves negroes and these ~.
groes Are citizens OF the natioi as the Indian tes
ritory is calle1 out there Half the people of the
territory are not Indians or Indian negroes, but
whites from the States that pay permit-a sort of
poll taxfor the privilege of living in the nation.
Any trouble that may arise between an actual cti-
zen Of the nation and one who is not on Indian or
Indian negro, is tried in United States court. If
an Indian kills white man, he is tried in
United States court If white man kills an Indian
in the nation he is tried in United States court. In
dams may fuss little among themselves and be
tried in their own courts, but when he touches a
white man or a white mans negro, he must be tried
by u pale faced jury at Fort Smith.
