The bodies Of Champion and Ray were
brought into town and viewed at the un-
dertakers. The sight OF the bodies caused
the.most intense feeling. The community |
has shown itself to be remarkable for its
patience and order, and no trouble is
feared unless it is obvious that justice is to
be defeated
The prisoners appear neither sorry nor
worried about their crimes. The only
dangerous idea that the people have is that |
the invaders have so much wealth at their |
commard and so many friends at court |
that they will escape punishment.
The special guard house resembles q |
hotel or a summer resort. The prisoners |
sun themselves upon the piazza. board at
the ''canteen" restaurant and are escorted |
10 and from their meals by a tile OF guards. |
CHEYENNE. Wyo., April ls.---A nun
Der of people fleeing from the 'rustlern
country have passed through Cheyenne
Their stories are sofragmentary that the
only reliable report from them is that
the ''rustlersn have completely terrorized
johnson county.
One of the stockmen who arrived here
last night shows notice received from
secret organization Of the ''rustlers,n
warning him to leave the county within
five days or be killed. lie says dozens
of the fleeing cattlemen have received
uliiiiiil ilpNlNte-
Governor Barber and General Brooke.
who have been in constant Geographic
communication with each other, are
anxiously awaiting news from Fort
Mckinney. 1t is now admitted by the
citizens here and at Douglass that
Sheriff Angus has had the wire cut in
order to prevent an order being sent
from General Brooke to Colonel Van
Horne at Fort Mckinney to deliver the
prisoners to Governor Barber at
Cheyenne.
Public men regard the situation as
alarming and few can be made to admit
that il is at all probable that all cattle
men can be got out of the country alive.
Governor Barber says lie has discussed
the plan of sending commission to
Buffalo to investigate the true condl-
ton of affairs in that country. This
will probably be done. No steps have
been taken TO bring the prisoners to
Douglass and the governor disclaims
any intention Of shielding them from
the action of the law. He says they
will DO turned over TO the civil author
tiles as soon as they can protect them from
mob violence, II these assurances reach
johnson county the excitement there
may be allayed. A rumer that the
troops at Fort Russell have been called
out is denied by the officers Of the regi-
ment stationed there.
A Gillette, Wyoming, dispatch says
"Colonel Van Horne of the sixth
Cavalry was to have left Fort McIlin-
ney yesterday with Lis three cattle
prisoners, and it is supposed that
he did, but nothing has been
heard from him. He had three
troops of cavalry and his destina-
ton was Fort Dodge. 1t is feared that
lie will not get there without trouble. A
thousand well-armed "rusters,n under
command Of NJ. a. Rider, the young
Methodist preacher, are lying in wait
for the troops and swear they will get
possession of the prisoners and hang
them if they have to kill Van Horne and
all his men TO do son
1t is thought by some that Var
a 4 Horne will change his course and tax,
his prisoners to Fort Russal, neal
Cheyenne, where the Seventeenth In
fantry is stationed, evidently being
under the impression that lie can maxi
this post without being interfered witt
by the "rustlers.n 1t is consdco,
ominous that no sword has been received
from the troops, Many wires lave bee
down for several hours and this leads I
the belief that the "rHstersn ana troop
have fought battle and tho news
being kept from the military aathuritie
as long as possible.
