As an item showing tho completo connections the Ring hase, I havo only to say that ono Ward, a contractor, of tho firm of Ward & Mason, arrived at Red Cioud tho same day the courior brought (ho telogram order from the Commissionor to Chalrmon Allison. The dispatct came to Fort Laramio by tolegraph, and tho query is, Ifow did the firm that had besu doing all tho horse contracting for this scation loarn of tho ordor ub lesst four days bofors its dolivery hero? They must have gotit e fow hours aftor ita fysuo in ordor to bring Wood hars iv the time he arrived.

The contractora retnsed io allow the ninoty to be brauded and issued, and thero was a geuoral consultation, 1w which tho whole Ring rosidout hero participated, Col. Jlonuvais, who was for nearly forty years atrader among the Sioux, explainad to the Indisns why the horses were not issued, and they all said “bow" to his determination to have ten good horses, or tho bad ones thrown out.

A MISTAKEN WITNESS. Fortunnte Excapoe of Mr. Scotf, of St. Paul, from Kuspicions of fMurder. sneeiad Carrespondence of The Chiengo Tridunc, 57, Ao, Mion., Oct. 13.—Detor W, Scott, o riding-mnator of this city, has juat had a most unplersant experienco aud forlunats escape from a po-ition of grave pori’, On tho 24th ult., Mr. Scott was at Whito Bear Station, 12 miles from thia eity, accompanied hy o laborer trom Weat St. Paul, whom ho had engaged for hay-cutting. Tue two called at the slop of Thomays Milner, butcher, where Mr. Seott pur- chased somo meat for use in the haying camp. The butcher know that oue of tho two way Mr. Scott. When tho romains of Mr. Hub- bard, of 8pringhcld, 111, wero found near tho atation, last Sunday, 8r. Milner remembared tho two being in s shop 5 but ho remembered the fact as occurring weeks before it did, aud sleo imngined that tho laboror was just such a doli- cale-appoaning, neatly-dressed parson ns tho do- coasod, Mr. IHubbard. eeoma to have boen, Ie Liad probebly noted Mr. Scott's appoarance, and, in his confused memory, lield him to bo the bir- ed man instoad of the employer ; for the descrip- tionho gave in hi evidence, Monday, applied ologoly to Mr. Scott,—answering also for o general descuiption of the decoared. Tho sus- picions thus thrown on Mr. Scott distracted at- tontion from coutrary facts. The partles con- duoting tha juvestigation appear to have at onco adopted the theory that the dand strangoc had Leen murderod ; that ho was the person who was in the butchor-shop with Scoti; and thut the Iattor was the murderer. Some of thom deaired 10 have Scott at onca arrested, but more prudent countol provailed, and 1t was ageeed to merely summon Scott 88 & wit- ness, meantimo keeping ‘*tho theory " nnd suspicion agaiost Scott from publivity by oscludiug nowspaper reporters from the place of inquest, Of coureo, the roportera kuow tho whole story, nevertholess. Iu fact, they hLad tun it dawn, and for thowselves discraditad 1t bofare the jury bad heard it. 1t acconlugly happenod that, about tho same hour when Mr. Sealt was subpaenacd, e read in the Lrening Inspateh the whole of Milner's story, and the rcrurler’u roview of the racts, going to disprove ‘¢ he thaory” of hLis guilt, Ile was alarmed, aud, ag it proved, with good reaswn., Ll did not know the mname of tho laborer who was with him at tbe Wiite Bear, who had not tonwlued in his cmoloy, and ouly knew of him tuat ho lived acrogs tho bridge, At G o'clock next morning, ho rode over tue brideo toucaral for the laboarar, fuintly hoping o might find him beforo going to Wiute Bear. Vory fortunately ho met tho msu going to bis daily Iabor, and was repaid for tLa feelings of alarm which had led bit to avoid observation in riding to the bridge by baving tho mau's com- aby on the Whito-Bear trip. The man was Patrick Orowloy,—a hioavy, coaraoly-dressed per- son, but known as steady and relinblo, Now for the real danger Bcott was in, e Lad bean at Wbhite Bear fraqueotly, but had fow acquaintsnces thero, Minor did uwob rocog- nizo him aas the dolicate-appearing, well- dressed person be had (lcncrhms. aud whom lio still aupposed to be tho ous fouud dead. Wheu confronted with Crowloy, however, his miud cleared partially. Mo recogumzed Crowley, and acknowledged o wad the man who was with Heott, and that the two were tho vory men ho had tostified about, But ho was still confused about the clothes, and porsisted in recollecting Crowley 88 being drossed in the Ouo clothes which Scott really wore. Even this mistako was, howevar, corrocted by overwholming evidonge. Soparate examinations of othor witnesdcs con- fired the evidence of Scott and Crowley in ovory psrticular, but thosa witnoraos, tho f’umm, and Miloer, ackuowledge it would ave gons bard with poor Scott if Le had not uo fortunatoly found Crowloy, whoso marked fea- turca and appoarauce, by roviving the recollec- ti0s of others who saw tho ¢wo together on the 28th of Soptember, assisted o8 much as did his ovidonce in clearing Scott from all suspicion, 1f ho Liad not found Crowley, Scott’s own genoral rosomblance to Hubbard would have resultod 1n his arrast for murder, and possibly in his convie- tlou s for tho evidonce agatuat hiw was growiog fast an tho basis of tho butchor'd mistake.
