nj OF A LITTLE interest is taken
N at Chetopa in the murder Of
Willard Glass at Welch. An effort
was made TO bring the accused, W. Il.
Dlckyson, TO Vinlta for examination,
and II came near succeeding, when a
protest 70 Judge Foster, at Topeka,
lnterposed. The examination took
place before U. S. Commissioner A. r.
Bell, at Chetopa Friday, the defend
ant being represented by w. NJ. Mel
lette, OF this city. A write up OF the
testimony and the case In general is
given by the Advance as follows;
BY the testimony OF Henry Bassett
aud John McClain, both colored, with
whom Dlckyson frequently gambled,
II was shown that he, In communica-
tlon with them Wednesday at differ
ent times, told them that he was hard
up and back on bis board bill, and
tried to get them, especially Bassett,
TO go with him for the purpose OF
robbery, even telling Bassett that he
was going 10 Welch. IL was next
shown by the testimony OF Robert
and Mary Mcclure, aged 10 and l6
years respectively, that while driving
70 place near Welch Wednesday af-
tcrnoon after load OF hay, Dlckyson
got In their wagon about 3 p. m. near
Russell creek and rode TO within two
miles OF Welch where he got out, as
they turned OF from the main road.
IL was proven by A. II. Dowell, Mrs.
w. l.. Marker, Miss Nellie Blodgett
and ELIAS Whitnir, colored, that he
was seen In Welch from Or6 D. m.
until ten minutes before the murder,
when he went Into Dowell's store for
matches. Dr. l.. b. Kackley testified
that the description as given him by
Glass Tailed Ia the main with the ap-
pearance OF Dlokyson. Fred Golfer
testified that nc came TO the Chetopa
House about 1879 a m, aud that the
woman Dlckyson was staying with
came down soon after for u pitcher Of
water. The Welch people, especially
the women, were very confident OF

GNE OF THE BOLDEST efforts
W at cattle theft, and on pretty
large scale too, was made at the noto-
rious little station OF Catoosa Tuesday
night OF last week. The scheme was
discovered and thwarted, aud three Of
the thieves captured, and the money
saved almost by accident. "Wednesday
morning OF last week as T.. b. Frayser
was coming from his residence down
town, the morning freight train that
leaves Vinita at 1880 was standing on
the track in the yards, and In conver-
sation with one Of the train men Mr..
Frayser found out that four loads OF
cattle in the train had been loaded
during the night at Cstoosa under
somewhat suspicious circumstances.
He 1T first wired the agent at Catoosa
for information as to whose cattle they
were, but after waiting till after noon
and receiving no answer, wrote the in
spector at the stock yards In ST. Louis
and East ST. Louis giving the number
and name OF the cars. The inspectors
acted promptly and found the cattle
TO be in Edwards Brothers brand.
Edwards was wired and answered that
he had sold no cattle at that time. In
the meantime the cattle had been
sold, but the commission company
held the money on some pretext or
other till information that the cattle
were stolen came and the ma, hat
accompanied them was placed under
arrest. Onicers went out and arrested
the agent at Catoosa aud another
man whose name we fail TO get. One
OF the parties who helped load them is
said TO be Sam Ballew and he escaped
but the officers are after him now and
will leave nothing unturned TO effect
his capture.
There were an even hundred head
OF good steers In the four car loads
stolen, and IL was the boldest and
withal the neatest piece OF cattle theft
attempted In this country, and IL
seems almost an accident that it was
discovered.
The railroad agent was released on
sS, 900 bond and the other two re-
manded to Jail at Muskogee.
The parties arrested were Mart Wit
mer, the Frisco agent, John Tanner
and a man named Wentworth; the
latter accompanied the stock to st.
Louis and was captured there. Tan
ner and Wentworth are in Jail at Mus,
kogee.

IN THE TRIAL Of the Santa Z

N THE TRIAL OF the Santa Fe
I rebate cases at Chicago last week,
the court, In lnstructing the Jury
touched upon the credlbIllty OF John
@. Taylor, formerly live stock agent
OF the Frisco. Jim Hall, II on the
jury, would. hardly convict on Tay-
lors unsupported evidence, whatever
II was, and there are, we believe, sew
eral other gentlemen who are sin the
same boat" Judge Grosscup told the
jury to be cautious in giving any
weight to the evidence OF a particl-
pant, John O. Taylor, the former live
stock agent Of the Santa Fe road, who
was the sole witness, and he failed to
corroborate his story. He admitted
his own part in the rebate transac.
tions, and the defense presented a
number Of witnesses to show that
Taylor had frequently informed his
associates that he alone had control OF
the rebates. This was the only de-
fense the railroad attorney made for
his client, and Judge Grosscup told
the Jury II was pertinent defense
The jury reached a verdict OF acquit-
tai within ten minutes after retiring.

E NUMBER Of officers OF the NJ,
A X. s. Il. came down Monday on
tour Of inspection OF the whole line
through this territory. The inspec-
tion, or steam hand car, had preceded
them and they came down on the
Flyer, and took 1t from here south.
IL has been determined TO clear the
right OF way through the territory and
as soon as practicable the necessary
suits will be commenced. The need
Of a new depot at this place is recog-
nized fully and it is not improbable
that if-proper efforts were put forth
we might secure the erection OF one
which will be a credit to the town for
years TO come. The subject is worth
looking into.

Dlckyson's identity. The other inn
portant testimony was in reference to
pistol Dickyson borrowed OF w. e.
Jones, L. S. Nance's harness maker,
the day Of the murder and returned
the next morning. The pistol was
3s caliber shooting the same size ball
that was taken from the body OF Mr..
Glass. Mayor Columbia, who first ex-
amlned the gun, and DIR. L. B. Kack-
ley who afterward examined IL with
microscope, testified with much GER
tainty that their examination OF 10 had
revealed the fact that cartridges had
lately been fired in two OF its chau-
bers, and further Testimony by Bas-
sett and McClaln seemed TO Indicate
that Dickyson had the gun in his pos
session Wednesday, returning II TO
Jones Thursday morning.
The above is the sum and substance
OF the testimony given today. 1t is
evident that the man seen at Welch
Is the murderer, and unless the de-
fendant can account for his wherea-
bouts that Wednesday night by relia-
BILE witnesses or prove that be was not
at Welch that night, he undoubtedly
is the guilty man. We hope the case
will not drag along, but that IL will be
brought TO a speedy conclusion, and IN
Dickyson is found to be guilty, that he
will suffer the full penalty OF The law,
for the perpetrator Of such a deed is
deserving Of IL
Much wrangling was INDUCED in be-
fore IL was determined 10 have Dicky-
sons preliminary trial here. U. S.
Deputy Marshal j. L. Ledbetter came
up from Yinita, last Monday 20 Oswe-
go, and endeayored to get the prisoner
so as to take him to White, Commits
sloner Bell Of this city objected. U. S
District Attorney Perry Of TT. Scott
was appealed to, who wrote an order
for the transfer OF DiclSysou from Os-
wego TO Vinita, and sent IL TO Judge
Foster at Topeka to sign. But Judge
Foster, on the protest Of a number OF
our leading citizens, and upon their
presenting the matter to him, he re-
fused ~ sign the order, and ordered
the preliminary trial to take place in
this city.
w. E. Jones, the owner Of the pistol
that figures somewhat in the case, was
arrested Tuesday and taken 10 the
county Jail at Oswego. This was done
on account Of certain contradictory
statements he is said TO have made,
and his intimacy with the defendant.
His case came up before Commissioner
Bell, after Dickyson's trial, but from
various reasons was postponed until
next Thursday.
Is 1t not about time something was
done 10 clean out the gamblers from
our city?
