many analogous cases cited In one place the
law says "A cruiser OF one nation has "A right 10

he may at sea: but this right Ia not perfect
one and the violation OF 1t cannot be punished by
capture and condemnation and even by detention.
And further II says: Amy measures beyond the

vessel may take for the purpose OF ascertainihs
the nationality Of another vessel must he AT MY
peril: for the right OF a ship TO pass unmoIested
depends upon her actual character and not upon
that which was enormously attributed TO her even
though her own conduct may have caused the
mistake"
In the case OF the steamer Virginius. which was
seized I'm 1873 by "A Spanish manIof-war, II was rs
serted by the Government OF the United states

A STRANGE STORY.
how A BOY ARRIVED AT COZ EYVILLE As
AN EXPRESS PACKAGE
When the Box was Opened 1t was Found to Con
tain Human Frsight-RsmarkaSle Narrative
of Abduction Slavery AMI JrinA

CoFFEYvIILE, KAN, January J.
There arrived at the express office In
Coffeyvlle, few days ago, package
consigned TO William MCGOWAN, whlch
appeared to be dry goods box con,
tanning a large dog. 1t was supplied
with breathing holes aud the express
agents were instructed TO pour water
into an aperture containing a receipt
acle inside TO receive it. The shipment
was made from a small town In the In
dian territory. Two days later, not
finding the eonsignee, the agent opened
the box, but instead of dog he found
in it diminutive colored boy, between
10 aud II years old. ,
The story he told was almost beyond
belief, although there is some corrooo-
ration. When four or five years old, ne
said, ne was stolen from home by TWO
men named John Long and WIZ Nc
Cowan. He does not remember his par
ents' names or where they lived at the
time OF his abduction. lie was placed
on horse in front of one OF the men
aud taken on long journey. Ihey rode
all night and for several days after
ward, until finally they arrived In
dense wood, where they were Joined By
several other rough-looking men, all,
like his captors, heavily armed.
The gang went into a deep canyen,
In the side of which was the entrance
to a cave which proved to be the re-
treat Of gang OF robbers. Ia this
cave the boy, whom his captors named
George, was kept in captivity for
number OF years, being employed In do
ing all sorts OF mental labor for his cap
tors. The men would frequently leave
the cave and be absent for several days,
and sometimes most OF them would De
away for weeks at time. On their re-
turn they usually had plenty OF money.
When he grew up he was taught TO
ride and shoot. His masters wanted no
tender plants in the camp. They would
place him on the back of horse with
neither saddle nor bride and the animal
would be started off on a wild run by
the cut Of whip and shooting OF guns.
Sometimes the men would amuse them
selves shooting at his legs just to see
him lump. One Of his legs bears the
scars of dozen bullet wounds.
Later be joined the gang on their ex-
petitions robbing trains. On one occs-
sion one Of the outlaws was killed. The
gang was Joined in New Mexico by Bob
and Grant Dalton, and subsequently by
the other Daltons. The colored boy
correctly gave the movements OF the
Daltous from that time up TO the raid
on Coffeyvile, and told how the raid
was damned and executed. The boy
was shipped in box, be says, by Long,
who evidently desired to get rid OF him
because he knew so much. In Coffey-
Vile be is regarded as a hero and his
accounts of the depredations OF the no.
torious Dalton boys are listened TO with
the greatest interest.

A MURDER RECALLED.
A Son of the Victim receives Tn reAten-
ing Letter from ColumOus.

Son of the Victim receives HI reAteh-
ing Letter from Columbus.
CHICAGO, January 3.-Police Inspsc-
tor Stuart has been asked TO take some
action In regard TO a communication re
ceived recently by Lee Nance, colored,
from unknown persons in Columbus, o.
The letter refers 10 the murder OF
Nance's father in Newberry, 5. c.,
twenty-six years ago, aud contains
threats against Nance's life. A portion
of the letter is as follows:
Fifteen years ago you appeared In
New berry, s. c., with the avowed pur-
pose, as it was reported, Of svenging
the death of the radical leader, Lee
Nance, ST., your father. But you
skipped out like coward before any
arrangements could be made. You had
no need TO fear for lack OF prominent
white friends You called at the New
berry Herald Office, and its editers, in
the presence of Major Nance and Col.
Robert Holman, gave you assurance OF
their good will and friendship. They
had always been your fathers friends,
even boldly frustrating the plans of our
faithful followers on more occasions
than one, but in '6S we succeeded in
our determination TO Kill the hated rad
lcal leader because we all believed he
was mainly TO blame for the murder OF
one OF our bravest men named Ward.
I'VE have never heard mnch OF you
since you hurried out OF Newberry In
1850 until lately, when by chance
book fell into our hands evidently writ
ten by you, in which several pages are
devoted to a description of "A Murder
er's Plight Notwithstanding the fact
that you refrain from mentioning the
death OF your father. we think the
murderer meant is some one OF US.
Furthermore, We have learned that you
were at the bottom of the church meet
ing held in Chicago just week after
the election, whereat Sheriff Cook, OF
Fayette county, o., was Endorsed aud
praised for his work Of killing white
men for trying to lynch niger.
Now, you shall not keep this up and
we don't believe you had ought to live
anyway. But we Intend to give you a
chance. Some Of US will be in Chicago
the first of the year, when an arrange
ment can be made for settling the old
score with rifles or otherwise. There
are several Of us-father, son and grand
sons, but only one Of us can be accused
of the crime OF 2G years ago. Yet we
are all ato.;orS OF it and are agreed as
to you. Therefore be not surprised TO
see Us soon"
Mr.. Nance said be did not know the
authors OF the letter. The man, he
said, who murdered his father was
named FITZGERALD. He had heard moth
ing Of him except that Fitzgerald had
moved to Fayette county, o. Mr..
Nance says be has received many letters
OF a similar character, but has never
paid any attention TO them until he re-
ceived the above.
