The confession was a windfall for the
sheriff. he moved rapidly. and within
a week almost every member of the
gang in the State was in limbo. Ar
rests followed in Ohio, Illinois and
other States, and horse-thieving as a
business received its death blow be-
fore Christmas. In our village the
hotel-keeper and liveryman were ar
rested, tried, aud sent to prison. and
in other towns it came out that law
yers, doctors, and even postmasters
had been IN with the gang. Indiana
recovered at least seyenty-fiye valu-
able horses which had been run out of
the State. and at least thirty men were
sent TO prison. II was. as l said, the
breaking up Of the whole business. and
it was all brought about through the
fall of a plank which a country boy
and farm hand had hoisted into posi-

Prisoners Kill Their Keeper and

nIehA
WALLA WALLA, July 10.-Passengers
from Baker City brought details of the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Robert Lock-
wood, of Grant county, at Canon City,
Oregon, on the night of the 9Th, by two
prisoners confined in the county jail.
Mr.. Lockwood and wife were visiting at
neighbors on Tuesday eve. About 10
O'Clock Lockwood went to the Jail to lock
the prisoners cells. He told his wife to
await his return. Soon after his de-
parture an alarm of fire was sounded,
creating much excitement. AS Lock
wood did not come back, his wife sup
posed he had gone to the fire, but became
alarmed at about II o'clock and sent
men to the Jail to see if anything was
wrong. They found the Jail door open
and the prisoners gone.
Lockwood was lying on the Jail hool
dead, bullet through his head. 1t is
supposed that on entering the Jail he
was knocked down, disarmed and killed
In the confusion of the fire alarm no one
heard the pistol shot, giving the prisoners
two hours start of their pursuers.
The escaped prisoners were McGinnis
ter, charged with horse stealing, and Q

Bright in Harney Valley recently. A
reward of $500 is offered for the murder
ers. At last accounts posse was in pur

should do all in its power in the way of
arranging for the collections, securing
free transportation, shipping and pur-

collected, while the Grand Army men
would attend to it after its arrival at
Columbus. This plan met with entire
appreciation by all parties, and at
the meeting of the Grand Army Com
mittee, consisting of Ex-Governor ]. J..
Gosper and Mr.. johnson, with the Board
of Directors Of the Board of Trade, the
plan for the collection of the material
with which to make the exhibit was
definitely settled, and the work has COM
