OMAHA. May 10.-TSpecial telegram to
The HERALD. The last chapter in the
Wyoming cattlemen's war was enacted in
Omaha tonight, by which the only wit
nesses of the desperate fight which ended
in the death of Ray and Chambers in the
wilds of Wyoming were safely smuggled
aboard Missouri Pacific train at subur-
ban station with tickets to Texas by st.
Louis.
MEN IN HANDCUFFs.
Three bedraggled, unkempt ard alto
gether rough looking men, two of them
hendcuffed together and ali of Them with
terror depicted in every feature, were hud-
died in bunch at the heels of Deputy
United States Marshal Heptinger at about
5:30 o'clock last evening as he entered the
private Office of United States Marshal
Slaughter in the federal building. Little
attention had been attracted by the party
as it moved hurriedly down the long cor
ridor for the reason that at that hour there
were few here to notice them. One was
Witt the liverymau, and the two hand
cnffed together were Jones and Walker.
TIFF BRACELETS REMOVED.
The bracelets were removed as soon as
they were safely in the marshal's Office
and the doors closed behind them. Each
man carried heavy yellow oil skin coat,
and none of the prisoners gave evidence of
having enjoyed q moments rest or peace
OF mind in many a day. They were gaunt
and hollow-eyed and glanced suspicously
at everyone and into every corner.
JUDGE DUNDY WAITING.
Their arrival has disturbed the siesta of
Judge Dundy, who, although it was long
past his usual time for leaving the build
ing, hac stretched himself on the Lounge in
Marshal Slaughter's Office as if he
had an appointment and fully meant to
keep 1t. When the prisoners entered the
judge slipped across the corridor into his
own private Office and was closeted with
Attorney Frank Ransom, who had likewise
been haunting the building for some time,
apparently in search of friend who came
not Two other attorneys, comparative
strangers in town, but who were after
wards identified as f. H. Harvey of
Casper and h. DonglemRn of Cheyenne
were also fitting about from one Office to
another and in very few minutes the en-
e tire party, with Prosecuting Attorney
Baker, assembled in the Office of the clerk
of the district court and the prisoners were
arraigned on the charge of selling liquor to
the Indians. They waived examination
ard their bond was fixed at $500 each for
which their personal recognizance was &C
copied.
IN THE MARsHAL's OFFICE.
Another adjournment to the office of the
marshal followed in order that the men
might gather up their belongings and they
then left the building piloted by Attorney
Dangleman and Deputy Hepfinger Mar
shall Slaughter professed ignorance as to
their destination, saying he supposed
they were going to supper and
they could get new suits of clothes He
insisted that he knew nothing about the
case except what he had read in the news
papers, and did not even know that Deputy
Heptinger was in Chadron until that
morning when he received a telegram from
him, stating the deputy had arrested his
men and would be in that night; that they
had been arraigned and released on bail
and further than that he was as ignorant
as a sucking dove.
THE DEPUTY MUM.
Deputy Hepfnger could not find time Il
say word and Deputy Jackson was but
little different He admitted that he was
In Crawford Friday and saw the men ar
rested. He had just sort Of happened
around to help Hepfinger bring them in, bu
neither deputy had gone out on that par
ticular business.
The marshal supposed that Repfuge]
had been merely following orders in tn.
way of serving warrants issued by United
States commissioners in whatever part o.
, the state he might happen to be.
