KILLED BY COWBOYS.
A Sheriff and Posse After the MUIR
derers.

A dispatch from Trinidad, Colorado,
says: Constable Montague was killed
at Emora, March 2s, by three cow
boys whom he attempted to arrest for
disturbing the peace. The cowboys
belong near Barrels and were drunk
when the shooting occurred. The
Sheriff IMMEDIATELY organized posse
and started after the murderers, who
had skipped out, but late reports say
that one Of the cowboys was wounded
and his companions assisted him to
escape. Great excitement prevails
over the affair. Means, the desperate
who did the shooting, was captured a
few miles below Elmora, after being
severely wounded by the officers in
pursuit. Two OF his pals were also
arrested. All three are now in Jail.
Means came from the neutral strip,
where he is accused OF numbering one
or two other men.

THE SAMOAN DISASTER.
The Terrible News Fully Confirmed
From Auckland.

Later advices regarding the hurri-
cane which devastated Samoa and
wrecked u number OF German and
American war ships, say the storm
swept the island on tho sixteenth ult
All the war ships attempted to get to
sea, but only the English steamer CAL
Hope succeeded in getting out. Mer-
chant vessels suffered severely, The
bark, Peter Godeffrey, one other bark
and seven coasters were wrecked and
seven persons drowned, Tho Calliope
sailed for Sydney. The Peter Godef,
frey was German bark which had ar
rived Mt Samoa from Sydney. The

from Admiral Kimberly confirming the
report of the disaster at Apia. The
Trenton and Vandalia are total loss.
News Of the disaster at Samoa created
sensation at the Navy Department,
and everybody from the Secretary down
freely expressed his regret. Secretary
Tracy could not see any cause TO con-
denim any one. The officers in COM
mand of the vessels were competent
men, and had doubtless adopted all
proper precautions against the disaster,
but tho hurricanes, which assumed cy.
clonic proportions were simply terrible,
as was proved by the extent of tho loss
of vessels.
1t is said at the Navy Department
that Admiral Kimberly's. cablegram
containing the news cost between 800
and 5000. kilograms Of inquiry were
received by Commodore Walker, from
the mother of Lieut.. Sutton, and the
wives of Captain Schoonmaker and
Paymaster Arms. Suitable replies were
made. A telegram was also sent to

Poetry Composed by the Desperate
 R. ". McNail

Pm the Prince of the Aztecs;
 am perfection at robblng a store; I have stake left me by Wells Fargo, And before long will have more. On trains have made good haul Stages are things hate My losses are always small,
 My profits exceedingly great. I will say few words for my friends, You see I have quite few; And although we are at dagger's ends, I would like to say, "How dye do." There are Mckinney and Larsen, Who say that robbers have no honor. I think in test of manhood, They'd have to stand back in corner There are my friends, the Schusters, For whom I carry so much lead; In the future, to kill this young rooster, They will have to shoot at his head. Commodore Owens says he wants to
 kill me;
 To me that sounds like fun. 'Tis strange he'd thus try to kill me, The red-headed son-of-a-gun. He handles a six-shooter neat, And hits airabbit every pop; But should he and I happen to meet, We'll have an old-fashioned Arkan-
 saw pop.
 My friends, will have to leave you; My war horse is sniffing the breeze I wish I could stay here to see you Make yourselves at home, if you
 please.
 I will not say very much more, My space is growing so small- You're always welcome to my share. Whats that? "Much obliged" Not
 at all. Yours in luck,
 R. w. MCNAIL.
