CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. 17.-Mike Brow n
and George Hanks. a fugitive from Mon

Box Elder creek, near the hot springs of
Fremont county. -Four outlaws have been
killed in that vicinity in the same way
within two weeks. Mike Brown was one of
the most industrious and enterprising
live stock thieves in the state. He
had for several years been making
drives of horses and cattle to
distant markets. Brown stole great many
ponies from the Indians but they were
afraid of him. 1t is now evident that these
thieves are being systematically hunted
sion that thee ia no other way to break up
the bands of range pirates. The vigilantes
are travelling two and three together and
simply hunt down marked men. There are
no fewer than fifty men i'll the northern
country who must either leave or be killed.

latter are wanted for killing a constable in

he will not be taken alive, and Nard has re-

men. Some Indians now attending United
States court here have visited the rendez-
of Moore and declare that he is in a

wrote that if the union could be preserved

slavery, then he was an aholitionist."

of credit money. Everybody ought to
know that the business of the world must
bear some relation to credit and reserve.
