A VERY QUICK CAPTURE.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Feb. "a
special to the Times from Newkirk, o
T., says: The Blackwell overland
coach was held up and robbed this af-
ternoon by two outlaws named johnson
and Stratton.
Tonight Johnson's corpse lies In the
city and Stratton is behind the bars.
1t was the result of active work on the
part Of the city marshal. Word was
first received of the robbery late this
afternoon. City Marshal Austin, Dep
uty Sheriff Masters and a few other
deputies were started in pursuit. Al
though the outlaws were sighted within
an hour and in another hour were in
tow, they were exhausted from their
long chase. Their pursuers finally
came upon them and although they
showed resistance they were easily
overcome. A short fusilade Of shots
ended Johnson's life. Stratton then
gave up and both were taken back to
Newkirk. None Of the posse was in
jured. 1t Is not known how much booty
was secured.
