Rlyan, of this place, was rophed, on the ovening of Oct. 31, of ahouj $2,000 worth of watches and jewelry. The proprietor was in Lhe habit of Jocking-uphis store attea-time, and, in company with his clerk, spending stout an hour at supper and attending to Lthe * chores 't around the promiscs at iome ; when the couple would return to the store, light up the lamps, and transact what busimess turned-up during tha rematnder of the evening. The jewelry and watchos wero generally left In the showcases; this and, on particular ovening, cven the safe, containing - about 875 in cash, was left unlockeq. That thia confiding and primitive stylo of closing business was not adapted to the wpresent times, has ho- come painfully evident to the proprictor, who, by theiby, is onc of our most estcemed cftizens, o quict, Industrious man, aml whose misfortunc has awakened heartfell sympathy throughout the entire community, as the sequel will show, The Prcmincn and " surkoundings were singu- larly ndapted for the successful Herpetration of therobbery. The darkness Lhat envelped the store allowed the burglars inslde ample oppor- tunity to put the l\rum!nc: which they did most effectunlly; and their oxlt was easily accom- plished throngh the rear end of the building,— not even a shittter onthe windows Interfering to retard their prozress, Nunnerous old boxes in the unfroquented yard In the rear, together with “high fences, or the rear uends of the pm}cetlng and adjoining bufld- inga, successfully covered their retreat when they were jofued by a confederate who had been keeping watch on the sldewalk in front of the store,—the latter engaging in conversation the proprictor of the next store, when the Iatter showed an inclinatton to walk past the buflding that was heing plundered. 6 ‘Wiien the robbery was discovered, on the ro- turn of the proprictor from eupper, the news spread like wild-fire throughout the town., The numerous fricuds of Mr. Ryan were at once fn active consultation as to the best means to he taken to capture tho robbers. Pistols were Jooked to, old shot-guns werc cxamined and Toaded wlth buckshot, anil numerous parties were soon {n rendiness to connence the search. About thls time Charles Woodruft came fnto town and reporicd that o lght had been seen myaterfonsly fitting among the tomb-stones_on Cémetery If)l, Our worthy Constable, dr. Lucien Holmes, at once sceured o buggy, and, in company with Woodruft, started fn pursuit. They were most fortunote in thelr selection of roufee, tuking the rond toward Kilborn City. They paesed the cemetery, and, traveling on sonre elght or ten miles slmemhn'v to telegraph from the former place) they r.-sph.»fl three ‘men, near the roadside, fn an “adjoining fleld, At onco suspeeting they had come up with the robhers, they called to them to rurrender whicl the lafter, lowever, had no {dea of ro- sponding toj whercupon WoodrufT fired - shot from lifs revolver,—the u&)puslnw party returning a volley in_answer. Nothing daunt- ed, vounr Woodrufl opencd vigorously, cach shot befng returned by a full volley from the now-retreating Landits. The harses becoming almost unmuizgeable, Ilolnes was unable to vender assistance, and was, therefore, only an eye-witness to the sccno being enncted around hlm. The clatter of the firc-arms awakened the nelghborbood, anda family living near by vonturcd out ns far as thc(ruurch to see what oo carth had raised the terrible din razing on thelr premiser, The bullets whistled through the alr in all dircctions,, when a loud ex- clamation of ‘“Ohi” from onec of the robhers betokencd scrious conscrucnces to at Jeast ane of the party, Tie pursuit led aeross a largre fleld, and, as thewounded robberuttered tho exclamation, he droppell bis overcoat, and Ingeed hehind his fellows: but all tinnlly disap- peared in the adjoinhig underbusk, The aban- doned garment contalned about €50 worth of stolen jowelry, some burglara! tools, and o can of blasting powier,—thus fully identifying the escaping partics as thoperpetrators of this dar- ing robbery, sured” of the escape, olmes and Wood- rafl at once pushed on to Kilborn City, where the telezraoh was brought into requisition. The country was Dby this timo becoming awakened; Uands of armed men were assenis nling n all directions; and by morning three counties were being patrolled by the citizena of each. Early this morning it was belleved the trail had been struck: Lut, av this writing, It {s not known that either of the burglurs has been captured, though they are known, and will soon fall nto the fauds of one of the many partics now out. Ahout twenty shots were fired n all at the first attack; and whether o serious wound was inflicted by the successful onc remalnes to be soen. The powder was not purchused in this place; an inquiry at all the stores showed that there wns no powdor of that particular qualit; kept liere. Although It 18 well knowa that thi particular robhery was vommlitted by outsiders, yet some of the rohberles perpefrated here previously have been committed by home-par- tics; and’the general turn-ont on thiis occasion, with the cvident determination to shoot down the perpetrators on the alightest provoeation, should bo a warning of the fate that will possi- bly overtake any one caught taking a land in any future burglary {n this place. The many daring crimes perpetrated daily thronghout the land, ofttimes accompanioll by horrible mur- ders, are swakening the commuinity to a realla- ing sense of tinpending danger: ond, as this puaceablo and law-abliling place has suffered uumr%h already, the citizens proposo fn tho fu- ture Lo make it hot for Inw-lefylng rascals, and it Is probobhio that, In thelr owi lutercet, they will glve us the go-by hereatter.

TIIE FACT OF THR MATTER 18, that this war hos so far been simply & source of entertainment to Red Cloud's and Spotted Tail's young bucks; they take to war as natu- rally and with as much zest as a young duck is enld to take to water. They have mnot been punished severely enough to lead them to sece the ecrror of thelr ways, and come fn and livo all summer on the public bounty, They will consent to be thoroughly virtnous during the wintor-months, but they must have thelr harmless amuscment —such as shooting at soldlers and jumping min- Ing outfits—during the warm weather. They do not care at all for any partieular locality; being nomads, the clement of patriotism docs not enter Into the scheme of thelr existence, and no object I8 gained when they nre simply driven from one part of the country into anvther. KILLING OF HORSE-TIIRVES. ‘The night before Geo.
