The trouble between the r~ustlers and tie
called to q group of gentlemon the other
day the war a few years ago between the
stockmen and cattle thieves in Lincoln
county, New Mexico. 1t 80 happened that
one OF the party was the sheriff of Lincoln
county during the troubles, He told a
very interesting story. For several wears
prior to the crisis, bad men and criminals
of all sorts from Colorado. Montana, Wy
oming and New Mexico had been making
Lincoln county a place of refuge. Two or
three times a week the gang would ride
through the town of Lincoln, terrorizing
the people and taking possession Of the
city. The officials for a long time made no
no effort to put a stop to their practices, but
finally it became so bad, and tha thieves
became SO bold in their operations that it
Was determined to put a stop to them. "A
new sheriff was elected, and taking half a
dozen deputies he stated to arrest the
ridgleaders. This result was that he was
shot and severely injured, while two of his
deputies were killed. TIL gentleman who
was telling the story, and who is now in
the employ of Chicago bond house, with
headquarters at Ssla Lake, says he was pre-
vailed upon to take the Office until the reg
ularly appointed sheriff recovered. After a
consultation with the governor it was de-
cided that the new appointee should 60 to
the %rustlers ond lave a consultation with
them. The Salt Lake man, in company
with a prominent banker, accordingly made
g call on the thieves, no violence being of
fered. The consultation, however. did not
accomplish anything. Two of the gang
were in jail in Lincoln, and the thieves in
sisted they should be released before they
would agree to anything. Shortly after
the rustlera made an attack on the jail, the
result being that two of the deputies were
seriously wounded, while four of the deg
perados bit the dust. Then the governor
called out the militia, martial law was pre-
claimed in Lincoln county, and
the thieves were hunted and
driven out of the county. Since
then property and life has been safe from
raids by organized bands. The Salt Lake
man says he would have been killed had it
not been that two of the leaders, brothers.,
felt under great obligations to him. These
men eame of q good family in New York,
and their mother lived in Trinidad, Col.
he old lady took a trip at one time, was
taken sick on the journey. and was nursed
back to life Ly the Salt Lake mans mother.
The boys know of this, and when the new
sheriff ven to see them in their camp the
leaders gave orders to their men that none
of them nust under any circumstances do
him any harm.

Billy Kay. the Chinese Pinkerton. re-
turned from Billings yesterday, whore he
has been attending the hearing of All Let
and All Doc, the Cinnamon accused of the
murder of another celestial at Fort Custer
last October. Billy was employed by the
Chinese Six Companies of San Francisco,
and a number of prominent merchants in
that city, as we'll as the family of the MUIR
dered man, to go to Custer, look into the
case, and if he discovered a clue to tho per-
petrators to use every legal means to bring
them to trial. Billy tells quite an INTEREST,"
ing story of the arrest Of All Let and All
Doc, and the hearing before the United
States commissioner. When he went to
Custer he took letters to tho commnndant
from bankers. merchants and Judges, and
waa given eve:y facility for Investigation.
Billy snys he soon found enough evidence
to warrant the belief that ALI Let and All
Doc were tho guilty parties, and he would
not give much for the chances of the nc
cused men if they are tried. IA ne has secn,ed
strong evidence against them. One strong
fact, Billy says. is that all the papers be-
longing to the murdered Cinnamon disap-
peared the night hs waa killed. He saws
thess papers would have been of no use To
any one but a Chinaman. and this is one OF
the things that made him believe when he
first visited Fort Custer that some Of his
own race were the guilty parties. Billy is
fully imbued with the idea that he is 9
great detective. The accused men have
strong friends, and il the grand jury SHOULD
find an indictment the best counsel in Hell
ena will be employed on both sides. L
promises to be the most notable crimina

WAsnINGToN, May l4.-anoiher
name was added 10 the growing list of
United States Senators, who have died
suddenly within the past few years, by
the death this morning of Senator
John ). Barbour, Of Virginia. About
SIX o'clock this morning Miss Danger
field, Senator BarboGr's sister-in.law.
was awakened 10y knocking on her
bedl Dom door, and found the Senator
there. He said he had an oppres-
Slve feeling in his chest and
thought he was about TO have
an attack of the Group. At his re-
quest Miss Dangerfield sent a servant
for doctor. and then followed the
Senator into his room across the hall
way. Captain Shepard, an intimate
personal and political friend, and X.
{. Thompson, the nephew of the Sen
ator. Were also at the house. They
were awakened and went to the Sena-
tors bedside, but found him uncon-
sciOus. Within fifteen minutes after
Miss Dangerfeld had been awakened
Senator Barbour was dead. When
the doctor arrived he pronounced heart
failure the cause of death. Although
~ years OF age, Senator Barbour
was still hearty in appearance and
gave little intimation of advanced
years. The only recent premonitary
symptom of illness came to Senator
Barbour last week. He had been TO
the races at Benning's. and after reach
ing home complained of feeling slightly
hoarse; this soon passed of, however.
All OF yesterday Senator Barbour had
been bright and cheerful. I'm the morn
ing he attended meeting of the
Senate committee on the District Of
Columbia. and seemed in very good
spirits. Last night Senator Barbour
showed no signs Of a serious condition.
In the evening he entertained the wife
of Justice Field, who came TO paw "A
social call. About eleven O'Clock he
retired, apparently in his usual good
health.
The body will be inferred beside that
of Mrs. Barbour, at Poplar Hill, Md,
and not in the soil OF the common
wealth he represented for so many
years. The appointment of success
sor to Senator Barbour lies with Gov
erno9 Mckinney. There was som.
talk to-day about special session Of
the legislature to elect a successor, but
members Of the Virginia delegation
said this would be very unpopular and
they did not believe il would be done.
In case of an extra session, Governor
Mckinney would be, it il said, for
candidate.
