Since the defeat of the repub.

1t is cowardly for any colored

do.
Every act of Mr.. Harrison, 90

WITNESSES RUN AWAY.
Only woLiving Men Who Saw the Cattlemen
Murdered Mysteriously Missing.

DOUGLAS, Wyo.. May 5.-A decided sem
sation was created here this morning by
the sudden and mysterious disappearance
Of the only known witnesses against the
cattlemen who are now prisoners at Fort
Russell. 1t will be remembered that Just
before the invaders attacked the tx. c."
ranch they captured two trappers
named Jones and w alker. who were held
prisoners until after Champion and Ray
were killed, and then released. Both made
their way to Casper. and on Wednesday
last wcro brought here and placed in
charge Of Deputy Sheriff Kimball. These
men claim to have witnessed the killing of
Champion and Ray. and; as a
matter of fact, are the only
living witnesses who can testify
positively against the regulators on
the charge OF murder. Kimball went to
Glen Rock last night, leaving deputy in
charge, and when he returned this morn
ing Jones and Walker had disappeared.
The men were allowed to run about the
town during the day and slept in the Office
of the Jail. Both came in late
last night. apparently pretty drunk.
and about midnight went out 'for o walk" !"
leaving the deputy asleep. From the best
Information obtainable they are still walk
ing. Search has been made for them and
telesrams have been sent in all direc tions.
but no clew as to their whereabout has yet
been received. The fugitives carried
away two revolvers belon ging to the sheriff.
