THE CHIEFS VISIT

into trouble.
THE CHIEF S VISIT
Chief of Police Lockart and Const-
able Ten Ely ok drove out to the post at
b alf past eight o'clock. They were
met by Captain Lrugh borough in a
most cordial manner.
The result of the interview was
unmarried by Chief Locksrt this
morning.
"We know that the men are there,
at the post" he said. -"For a while,
1 wasuncertain, and I thought that the
cavalrymen going through on their
way to Fort Wipgate. and remaining
over here last night, might be implicst-
ed. But 1 am now satisfied that the
murderers are among the soldiers at
the fort.
! 1--WE have the two guns captured,
and the axe. The numbers of the guns
are 1924 and 5O090. Both the guns
and the axe are known to have been
taken from the fort.
1.-The interview with Captain Laugh
borough was perfectly satisfactory, aud
am convinced that he is doing every
thing in his power to ferret out the
guilty parties. and that this will be
done.
Further progress has been made in
this direction than we can make pub
lie as yet. We have transferred to
the county jail the two men, Gatewood
and Tyson. arrested last night, and
they will be kept there.
ANY talk of violence in that direc-
tion is absurd because they were in the
Jail part all the time, and probably had
no communication swith the men who
did the shooting"
CAPTAIN LAUGHBOROUGH TALKS.
Il am doing all 1 possibly can to ap-
prehend the murderers," said Captain
Loaug borough this afternoon. 1--WE
have made no arrest so far, and it will
take time to catch them. but we are
running down every trail, and making
a most rigid investigation. [ shall
know the Whereabouts of every man in
my company last nigh.
1.-The non-commissioned officer In
charge of the barracks, who is respon-
sible for the guns and ammunition and
their safe keeping,is now under arrest,
and will be tried by court martial.
without regard to the tragedy of
this morning, the soldiers offense is
most serious one from a military stand
if found guilty.
