their horses shod. Saturday United
States Deputy Marshals Hurton and
Wilson of Saltwater, new men on the
force, rode into Ingalls, on an inyesti-
eating tour without thought of dan
ger. Just as they were dismounting
they were covered by guns in the
hands of Bill Dalton, Bill Doolen,
Newcomb and man calling himself
Starr, and told not to get Off their
horses, but to go on. Having the
drop on them, of course they had to
submit. Sunday and Monday large
posse was organized and started in
pursuit of the outlaws. The one
called Starr seemed to be leader, and
it is believed that it is Henry Starr
himself, as it is authenticity reported
that the supposed Henry Starr, cap
tured at Colorado Springs last week,
is fraud. NewComb is the Santa Fe
train robber and Bill Dalton is the
oldest one of the Dalton boys and an
ex-member of the California legisla-
ture.

COL. DAVIS, OF NEW YORK.

An incident Of the late war, which
brings prominently forward an inter-
esting parsonage, in the person of Col.
VIM. l.. Davis, an own nephew of ex-
President Of the Confederacy, JeiTer-
son Davis, Is just now going the
rounds of the press. The story is
told in the following language;
"Col. VIM. L. Davis Of Gov. Flow
er's staff is Jefferson Davis nephew.
The other day at Gettysburg, while
riding over the field with the govern
or, three miles to the east was pointed
out Rummel's farm, where two tall
shafts marked the field of the brilliant
cavalry fight where Gregg and Stuart
crossed sabres and the latter's attempt
to work around to the Union rear and
capture the trains was blocked. Il
should very much like to see that
field, said Col. Davis, why soP was
asked. Because / had hand in that
cavalry fight in Hampton's Legion
AS 14-year-old boy Davis had cut
loose from the restraints Of life at
Georgetown college and joined the
Confederate cavalry when 1t reached
Rockville, Md during otuarts raid
in June, 1868. On June 80 Hampton's
legion had It's first brush on Pennsyl-
vania soil at Hanover with the fifth
New York cavalry. Col. Davis here
was the first under fire, The coincl-
dence was that thirty years later he
should wear the uniform Of the state
against the troops of which he fired
his first shot"

Issuing National Bank Notes.

A Washington special says; Nearly
$4,000,000 worth of national bank
notes were issued to the national
banks last month, and the prospect is
that the demand for circulation will
this month reach at least $6,000,000.
The demand comes chiefly from the
East and West, and very little from
the South, where the feeling seems to
be settled that the state banking sys-
tenn will soon be resusciated and pay
better profits than the enational banking
system. The sudden and uncommon in
crease in the demand for circulation is
attributed at the treasury to the fact
that Government bonds can now be
got at figure which enable some
profit to be made from the circulation
privilege. The treasury is respond
ing very cordially to the demands Of
the banks. 1t has made arrangements
at the bureau of engraving and print
ing 80 that the time required for max
ing the plates and printing the notes
is reduced almost one-half what it has
usually been.

sEAY AND COMMODORE ONE.
The Dallas Murderer and Ravisher
Identified as Seay Miller.

AS stated in these columns yester.
day, since the burning of Seay j. Mil
Ter, the Kentucky rape fend and muir
derer of Mary and Ruby Ray, at Bard
well, on Friday, the 9TH instant, the
belief has strongly obtained among
the officers and citizens of Dallas, Tex,
that the Kentucky fiend was none
other than Commodore Miller, the
murderous brute who stands charged
in Dallas, city and county, with al
most every species of crime known to
the criminal calendar. In conlirma-
ton of this belief an interview has
just been had with Sheriff Hutson, of
Bardwell, Ky, the officer who held
Seay Miller in charge during the few
brief hours of his Incarceration pre-
ceding his death at the hands of the
enraged populace. In this interview,
Sheriff Hutson says; al think the
pictures sent me suit, and are Idonti-
CAL"
That is, he means that the Seay
Miller hanged there ON the 9TH, was
no other than the Commodore Miller,
the negro wanted at Dallas. The
pictures Sheriff Hutson thinks to be
of the same man. The features, he
thinks, resembled the man. At this
time the pictures and letters that
came from Dallas are not in the hands
Of the sheriff or the reporter. They
have just been sent over to u neigh
boring town for further investigation.
The Globe-Democrat, in a special
from Dallas, printed July 8, gives
Sheriff Hutson almost entire satisfaC-
ton. This dispatch accounts for the
name Seay in way that does not
readily admit of doubt. 1t says that
Robert B. Seay, the noted criminal
lawyer Of Dallas, saved Commodore
Miller's neck on several occasions and
the negro idolized him.
1t also appears from said special
that the name of Commodore Miller's
wife was BERTHE Miller.
The papers on the 9TH and 9Th pub
lished specials from Springfield, ILL.,,
stating that Seay Miller's wife, BERTHE,
was crazed by the report of the death
of her husband, and it also appears
from the dispatches published from
Springfield on the 9th, that he was
known as Seay Miller at that place,
and that the family had resided in
Springfield only few months.
Among those who have investigated
the case, there IS little, if any, doubt
left as to the identity of the two
negroes, Seay and Commodore. The
facts Of the case all tend to this theory,
even to the telegram from the formers
wife for the dead body, signed "Ber-
tie Miller, Springfield, H." Another
telegram from Springfield further
states BERTHE Miller says she was
married to Seay Miller about six
years ago in Galveston, Tex.
