rDEs MONIES, Ia, June %. Especial to THE
BEE The sequel to the disappearance of
the two boys, Epey Butte and Ed jackson,
from the little village of Stanhope, has now
appeared. The boys were only about four
teen years old, but they had an idea that
they could go to Arizona and get big wages.
Each took a horse, the Butte boy his own and
the Jackson boy his fathers. They took
two revolvers and over $50 IN money, saddles
and otner necessary articles. But they soon
grew weary of their adventures, and after
getting as far as Madrid, Boone county, they
dete rmined like prodigals to go home. At
Boone they stopped to get something to eat.
and while the Butte boy went after food he
was arrested by the sheriff, The officers
started after the jackson boy, but he saw
them coming and raced his horse for seven
miles and escaped, reaching his home safely.
The justice before whom the other prodlgal
was taken, saw the boy's sincere repentance
and desire to go home, and so sent him on
his way with some good advice. So ends the
mysterious disappearance that had excited
so much comment in the little village Of
Stanhope

A Buffalo, Wyo., Woman Runs Away
With n Hired Man.

w INn II WAN.
BUFFALO, Wyo., June 23.-lSpecial to The
BEE. IA social sensation has been sprung
on this town whcih has startled it from cen
ter to circumference. E. G. Barrett, den.
tist by profession and by occupation car
penter, came TO Buffalo with his family
about year ago, and erected residence
near the fair ground. Recently he had oc-
casion to employ help about the place, and
hired young man of rather pleasing address.
The employe proved to be indolent and
worthless in the capacity which he endeav-
ored to fill, and Mr.. Barrett finally dis
charged him.
The latter act brought forth storm of in.
dignant words from the mistress of the
house, who upbraided her husband in strong
terms for turning the gay young fellow Off.
Barrett passed the matter over lightly, and
thought no more of it until the day before
yesterday when his wife saddled her horse
and went out for an afternoon ride. AS she
did not return by sunset the anxious husband
met with mishap. The quest was fruit
less, but YESTERDAY morning Bar
rett found letter in their sleep
ing apartment, written in his
wife's hand. and was amazed to learn by its
contents that she had deserted him. and was
on her way to Sundance, Wyo In the epistle,
the woman stated that she had left him for
good, and would cheerfully assist in any di-
vorce proceedings which he might see tit to
institute; that she would live with him no
more, ard warned him that IL he followed
her there would be serious trouble. 1t is
learned to-day that the young laborer, who
had been summarly dismissed from service
in the Barrett family and whose name is Nc
Cord, has also disappeared. and the inference
is that the two have gone together. Mrs.
Barrett left two bright children, a boy and a
girl. The family came here from farm in
Nebraska, where the hus band was quite well
fixed, but lost everything in a fire. Barrett
is much grieved over the conduct of his wife,
and to-day told of tine circumstances, as
above related. The social standing of the
woman had been above question up to the

The Keya Paha RustIers.

KEYA PAHA, Neb., June 23.-[Special to
THE BEE. l-Babcock, the ''rustler of Keya
Paha," after his escape the second time from
the vigilantes, went TO Bassett and ran n
hotel. The vigilantes warned the people of
Bassett not to harbor him, or the town
would suffer. He was ordered to leave and
did so, but returned June 10. Two sheriffs,
with warrants for his arrest on charge Of
stealing, were after him on the 11th, but he
got wind of it and fed 10 the sand hills and
has not been captured. Maupin, the man
who was connected with the cattle trans
actions, is at Bassett also. Cannon, another
of the men held up by the vigilantes, came
to Bassett on the train from the west on
June IL. Several others who have fled from
Keya Paha are there.
The people of Bassett are worked up over
their presence, as they fear raid of the Wig
ilantes, and feel that it would injure their
town. 1t is probable that the whole lot will
be invited to seek another stopping place.
The actions of the vigilantes here has not
checked the stealing business, and the re-
lease of so many of the rustlers after their
capture has not inspired fear in them nor
confidence in the people at large as to the
efficacy of such means.
