The 01d Reumat au for Panishing Thieves Honorably Sustained, A War Between Rustlers ana Cow Boys Now Progressing —A De- scription of the Situation, Denver Tribune-Republican, Montana is the one place in the world whero hanging has never “‘played out.” 1t began vory briskly in the days when Alder Gulch was booming and when Plummer and his gang were hung. Mon- tana has kept her vigilantes in good con- dition ever since. and tho result has boen that the torritory has not been cursed with murderers and thioves as the bal- ance of the west has been. There is somothing in the very atmosphere of Montana that has seemed to impel men to hang a thief whenever he could be found. Across tho line, in Wyoming, tho road agents have plied their voca- tlons with considerable impudence and success, but tho treasure boxes and pas- senger boxes in Montana have been. let severely alone. A man could not turn out ahorso anywhere in Moutana until three months ago and be reasonably suro that no one would carry him off, But the past four or five weeks have seen n change. Somo of tho Arizona rustlors emigrated to Montana and tried to put their accumulating practices to work. Tho result is that the grand thief round- up is ordered, and Montana is herself again, The fun has bogun, and the pino trees are bearing their old-time_fruit in abundance. The boys seem to like tho fun, and the whole frateraity of cow- punichers is occupied in the man hunt, AN ORGANIZED MAN HUNT. The rustlers are in strong bands, and the hunt has assumed something ot the nature of a military campaign. Every serap of information from the front is eagerly listened to and discussed with the groatest enthusiasm. Onco or twice, when reinforcoments have been sent for, it has been with great difliculty that the bosses could maka their selection of re- cruits and prevail upon those not chosen to rematn behind, It is the prevailing opinion that this is the last grand round- up that this country will ever witness, and the eagerness of the boys to take part in it is thus explained. Nothing ap- proaching it in. thoroughness and deter- mination has ever been witnessed here. The punishment meted out has been and will bo 8o sweeping and terriblo that no one believes an occasion will ever arise for a similar demonstration, Cattle and horses will soon be as safe as they have been for a dozen years past, and Arizona and New Mexico will mourn the loss of several individuals who are entitled to be called prominent in their line of industry. ¢ A Lewiston correspondent i tion of the situation say. Monday just at dark the cowboys came upon a 1og house set well back in the timber among the hills just this side of the international boundary, and deem- ing the place suspicious, they decidea to watch it olosely. That night several men were seen to enter and leave the house, and one of the boys who stole up close to the pla orted that thirty or forty horses were picketed near by. THE NIGHT ATTACK. The next day further evidences of the character of the rendezvous were ob- tained, and it was decided that the houss should be attacked that night. About 10 o'clock the boys, leaving their ponic at asafe distance, crept up to within 100 foet of the cabin, from the woody side, and awaited orders. The thieves hadalight inside, and through the open doors and windows could bo heard voices and la zh- ter., At the word every riflo in the cow- boys' party was simultaniously dis- charged, awakening the echoes for miles. It had been agreed that a second volley should De fired instantly, and thie did fatal execution. On the first report the thieves seized their arms and rushed pellmell out of doors, some of them jumping through the win- dows. The second volley caught them just as they emerged, and the few who survived it took to theirheels and escaped The buys remained at the house until day- break. There were nine dead thieves in and around it, and the remnants of a half finished meal were scattered about on the floor. The place was found to be the headquarters for the thieves, and many stolen articles were recovered from it. After it had been thoroughly ransacked the bodies of the dead wero piled up in one room and the house was set on fire, From this point the lynching party moved due west, with the idea of strik- ing the original trail which they had been following, and their search was rewarded much sooner than it was expected, They found at a point not more than five miles from the burned house a camp of desperadoes much larger than any yet encountered, and a hasty examination convinced them that they were not strong enough to capture it.

Lander and Galbrait's party came up with bim on Crooked creek. Ho had a fine ranch near there, and no one in the party suspected who was until after ho had been left behind on the | trail and some stolen cattle were found in | his corral, While the boys were investi- gating his ranch he rodo up, and they questioned him, He mado oxplanations of the presenco of tho cattlo, which might have proved satisfactory if one of tho boys had not sald: “‘I believe this is ‘Dutch’ Louis," The old fellow flew into a passion of denunciation and denial, and in his rage foll into broken English, which congrmed |, the suspicion. The more ho protested the more determined the boys became, and at last, when he began to fear that nothing could save him, he confessed his identity and begged for mercy. “Up with him!" yelled two or three of the boys, and one of them exposing & rope. “Ill give you a tousand dollar,” he soroamed, “if you lot mo go, and I'll leave the country aud never como back,” “You'll leave the country anyway, 'ob- served the brawny cow-puncher who held him by the neck, “‘and if you over come back we'll do you up again.’ In spite of his protestations, the rope was adjusted, and, hardly moving him from where he utuod they passed the other end of the cord over a limb, and the portly form of the old thief was swung high in the air. As they moved on, some of the old man’s cattle passed near his suspended body, and, bollowing their astonishment at tho unwonted scone, oantorod away to Join the herd. | —m— A POT OF GOLD, ure of $10,000 r Mobile Atter Being Buried Twenty-Two Years, Discovered ¥rom the Mobile A reliable gentleman of Mobile writes as follows from Portersville under dato of yesterday. Mr., Hugh Rolston’s place at Hunters- ville is situated about a mile west Bayou Coden. Adjoining his place is a field in which are a ;number of oak, ash, cedar, and various other kind of trees. On one of the large ash trees, which stands about seventy-five feet from the beach, 1s carved,in a deep, legible and indelible letters, the following: ‘L. M. February 12th, 1862, James L. Mins, born in Ireland, 1831.” To the right of theso lotters the figure of a schooner i intaglioed, underneath which are the numerals, “10,000.” About twenty feot northwest of the ash tree are two cedars that stand 4 or b feet apart, in the trunks of which are two deep incisions, evident- ly made with an ax; and twenty or thirty feet due west of these cedars is a hole 4} deop by 2} feot square. In the bot- tom of tho hole is an impression that was made be some kind of an earthern vessel, The hole was discovered Kriday morning and gave indications of having been dug but a few hours, Mr. Robert Middleton informed ho that one of the Iadies at Mrs, Rolston’s heard an unusual noise Tharsday night and called the at- tention of others to it, but as there is always 50 much commotion along the beach, caused by the rolling surf, the volces of fishermen, etc., that no atten- tion given to the strange noise. Everybody at Mrs, itolatsn’s is now satis- Register, night, and that the noise heard on that oceasion was caused by the men in their endeavora to exhume the vessel Zcontain- ing tho supposed treasures of $10,000. ‘'rhe people of Coden, Portorn- villo and Bayon La Batro areina con- dition of wild excitement over the dis- covery of this excavation, and jump at the conclusion that some one, who was familiar with the circumstances connect- ed with the burial of this 10,000, and tho locality as well, has been there, ex humed the box of treasure and departed with it. Thoy all de fresh-made excavation was concealed £10,000; that it was placed there m rebruary, 18G2; that it has remained concealed thero ever sinco; that James L, Mims put it there; that he marked tho locality by the incisions on the trees, and that either himself or someone to whom he confided the sccret went there Thursday night, dug up the pot, or what- ever it was, and made off with it, The impression on the bottom of the ex- cavation, which, as has been stated, was mado by an earthen pot, tends to confirm the belief that monoy was deposited there, and to the amount specified on the tree—§10,000. With all the natural and circumstantlal features connected with the discovery, Iam inclined, like the rest, to helieve that the §10,000 was buried near those cedar trees, that it has re- mained there twenty-two yoars, and was carrled away by parties who knew all about its whereabouts and the circum- stances attending its concealment, It is aggravating to the people here to know that for twenty-two yoars a sum of money as large as 10,000 has been buried almost under their noses, and to make the matter worse, that some one has come and carried off all this treasure, e “A Pertect Flood of Bunshine will fill the heart of every suffering wo- man if she will only peraist in the use of Dr, Pierce’s *‘Favorite Prescription,” 1t will cure the 1n0st excruciatiug period- Ical pains, and relieve you of all irregu. laritics and give healthy action.

For thir- ty years ho had stopped at the hotel, eat- ing his meals with clock like regularity, and soverely minding his own business. Ho died at the hotel this morning, aged 82. Ho was Mr. Seabury Browster, a bachelor millionaire, who was once con- sidored tho shrowdest and most prospor- ous dry goods merchant in this city. He retired from business more than thirty years ago. He owned the two marblo- front five story building at Nos. (27 and 620 Broadway, which have been unten- anted for twenty-five years. It ls_said that his reason for keeping the buildings vacant was known only to himself. One of his fow intimate friends said this eve- ning that when Mr, Brewster erected the building he got several tenants who con- fossed to him that they borrowed money to pay the rent. He then resolved to close the building, saying ho would not bo a party to the impoverishing of ten- ants, A placard dangled from tho fiont of the Broadway building to-day, an- nouncing that they were to lease. The funeral will be from the New York hotel to-morrow. Mr. Brewster's large fortune will go to his nephew, William 1. Brow- ster. Railway Time Table COUNCIL BLUFFS.
