Started In the Interests of the Public Schools, A short time ago the entertainment en- titled ‘‘The Great Republic” was given liere for the benefit of a fund to start a muscum for the benefit of the public schools, The net proceeds were about $06, and with this and some contribu. tions a very good start has been iiade, A room has been set aslde for the pur- pose in the Bloomer school building, and one large case already pretty well filled with s uffed birds, there being speclmens of almost all kinds to be found in this section of country. Among the speci- mens are the sap-sucker, meadow lark, wood duck, snow bird, English robin, awamp blrd, cat bird, king bird, butcher bird, brown thrush partridge, yaller ham ity black bird, blue jays, prairle chick en, cat owl, woodpecker, butter ball, etc. There are als>a young bear, a kitten of & wild cat of the red lynx epacies, a dwarf rabbit, ete. It is the design to have one specimen mounted for cxhibi- tion, and one for study and examination, and it {s to be hoped *ha‘ those having anything which will serve as a help to- ward cducating the papils in natural his. tory will contribu'e the same, The mu eouin thus started wil prove a grand help if the pablic will en-operate with Prof McNavgaton and the board in adding to tv and building it up. TURNING A TRICK. Mike Kildare in the Role of a Confi- dence Man. A susceptible stranger in the city was thevictim of a small confidence trick Saturday night. He says that a man vepresentln himself as a farmer, offored him work, the interview taking place on lower Broadway, The fellow said he had two teams which he was expecting every minute, and asked the sucker to change a $20 bill. The sucker couldn’t do it, and so *‘the farmer” borrowed all he bad, €6, until he could go up town and yet the bill broken. That was the last he saw of him, but on inquiring he learned that *‘tho farmor” was none otber than Mike Kildare, s young man well known here. The police arrested Mike, and were yesterday hunting op the sucker, to get him to come up to the station to identify him. —— The Court House Question, All citizens of Pottawattomie county belng interested in the erectlon of a court houso at the present time: We took the liberty of calling upon Mr. 8 E. Maxon, the architect of our growing city, and took a good, aquara lock at the plans for said court house, which he proposes to submit to the board of super vieors for inspection, and found a splend- id set of plane. And right here we will say that Mr. Maxon bad to work day and night, burning the midnight cil every night since the board advertised for plans and it i3 a wonder he got such full plans in such a short time allotted to him by the board, especially when ontside archi- tects had thelr plans ready to submit a4 the time the hoard met, January 2d, Mr. Maxon is a practicel mechanic, hav. ing learned the carpenter’s trade when a boy and having veen sinco thattime a heavy ccntractor in the larze cities of the caet, and studied architectura under the best masters of the east. Butlls best recommendation is his work, of which he has ample proof without golng away from home. We would ad- viee the board to look at the following buildings here in the city, of whlch Mr. Maxon was archi- tect, v z: Mascnic Temple, four of the bes: school houses in the west, to which the echorl bosrd will testiffy, the Shu. gart block, the Empkie Hardware Co. bullding, the opera houee, the beat ar- ranged opera houss in the west, the Bradley sgricultural building, and a large number of ema'ler store buildings, and in all of these buildings there is not a crack or blemish to be found. Now the main object In & court house s that the same is convemiently ar- ranged for the oflices in general, and that all records should ba safa at all times, aud that it is so substantizlly built that it will last as long as the county needs a court house. Me, Maxon has all these combined in hts plans, and to get all of the interlor arrangements correct and satisfactory he has asked the advice of judges and court officers, and made his plaos accordingly. These plans are en- rely rov and made especially for the re- quirements of the Pottawattawmie county conrt houte, and he thinks it will cost less i11an one hundred and fif.y thourand dollars, 8o it would be ws2 for the board to look well and study the plans tho- roughly before going away fzom home, e e e DL e T sfe rs.

A six pound cannon was brought down from Omaha to Plattsmouth. General Thayer com- mandedthe forces from Douglas county, the remainder being under the order of Capt. Robert Collins. Scouts were sent out as far as Salt Basin and Ashland, re- turning on the night of April 16th with cne prisoner, who was lodged in an im- provised guard house. Picket lines were establiehed, and at 12 o'clock those not on duty turned In. The night wasa cold orc, a bleak wind from the north whistllng through the cotton woods upon the river, aud one of the plckets is re— ported to have dodged his head every time lie turned upon his beat, the move allowing the wind to strike bis musket so as to produce a peculiar humming sound, with the ealcamation: “There {8 an arzow, they’ll get. me next time.” Later in the night a general cry of *“Indians” was heard. The sup posed enemy being afteward discovered to consist of three stumps, Const:m- nat-on p-evail d, there not being enough trees for the officers to get behind so that most of the army were fora time in a ious condition. During the night the o er was taken sick and taken ont for ng, escaping from the escort m 3, he darted under the banks of the vg Water, and was soon lost to With day 1 ght the command dis view, banded, its members returning to their homes, to find upon investigat on that the Pawnees were not upon the warpath, be- yond the fact 1hat a small party of them had killed one man for plunder. Thus ended ths last Indian war in Cass county. All that is left now to mark the spot where so many of the earliest setilers of this county spent one of the most e ing nights of their existence is two trees MADE HIS LAST CAPE, Con Murphy, the Notorious vesperado | and Jail Breaker Lynched, Herexa, Montans, January 27.—One more horse thief and desperado las gone toa warmer climate than Montans, the immediate cause cf his departure being a vigllance committce at one end of the rope, he being attached to the other o, Con Murphy, the most notorlous des- {:ornd.- in Montana for years, was hanged y members of the “3777" this evening at 6 o'clock. Word was bronght to Helena last evening that Murphy and his brother were at O'Neil's cabin, about fifteen miles out on the Bozeman rcad. Basbaw and McFarland started imme-i- ately, and with the help of O'Neil cap- tured both, after a lively tussle and some 8| ing. Four revolvers were taken from Murphy,s porson, and shackles put on his feet. This morning he requested that the shackles e removed, saying he would not attempt toescape and wanted to walk. Immediately afterremoving them he drew a fifth revolver from his boot and shot Officer Bashaw n the hand, inflicting a slight wound, This morning before light ten of the **safe committee” went out and took charge of the prisoners, keeping them out of town all day. At 5 o'clock this afternoon members of *3777" assem- bled at the court house, it being generally understood thay were to go out and mest the party with the prisoners and dispose of Con Murphy. Just as the meeting was called to order Sherlff Hathaway put in an appearance and commenced SWEARING IN DEPUTIES, as he was ‘‘on to the racket,” and tnok this means of protecting Murphy. Mot of the crowd quietly but hastily stepped out, woing in different directicns, but the main objective point be: Ing the Bozeman road, which was soon lined with teams coming from nobody knows where snd mavy on foot. The sheriff did not fo'llow and the vigi- lantes bhad things all their own way. About two miles out the committec of ten were met with the Murphys and a halt was mads under a telepraph pole. Con Murphy was taken out of the sle gh and a rope placed about his neck, theorh- er end of which was thrown over the arm of the telegraph pole, his arms and legs being securcly bound. He was asked if he had anything to ssy and replied: “‘I have only one request to made, that you will take gocd care of my brother.,” He made no confeesion im plisativg any others and appeared calm and disc'simed sny knowledge of recent fires. He was swung up & fow feet when the arm of the tele graph pole broke and he fell without in jury. It was then decided to take him to a railroad bridge about a mile away snd he was placed in tte eleigh again and a rapid drive made for the bridge, where he was aga'n taken out, the rope remaining about his neck during his last ride. At the bridge the rope was thrown over the timbers and Maurphy given ancther opportunity to talk, but he only sald: **I've been a pretty hard oase, but have nothing to say about others.” He would mention no other names of his gang, and again denied knowing anything about the recent fires in Helena. The order came, HSWING HIM UP, BOYS,” and Murphy’s last words were, “‘Good- bye, boys,” and be was launched into eternity. After hanging a few minutes without a struggle, he was lowered and a placard pinned to bis clothing contalning the ‘‘skull and cross bones,” beneath which were the ominous black figures “3-7-77." The crowd took thelr sleighs quletly, when the leader said: *‘No one here knows anything about this affair. All right. Drive on,” and the pro- cersion moved back to town. Daring the hanging the younger Morphy remalned in the sleigh bound hand and foot, a quiet and doubtless unwilling witness to the affair. On the way back he talked freely, saying his home was in Illinols; that Con wrote him some time ago to come to Montana to help take care of some stock; that he came about eight weeks ago and hss bpen working for O’Neill, since that Con came there about a week ago to see him. He says it won't take nlm loog to get ont of this country when he gets free. It s not known whether the younger Murphy has committed any crime, but he will be held a while. He Is now lodged in the county jail. Con Murphy was engaged in numerous robberies and was the head of a hard gang of horse thieves. He has escaped from officors and jail several times, and the community will fecl pafer with the koowledya that Mur- phy is where be cin do no harm. The committee who dld tho job to night was no mob, but composed of the best and wea'thiest business men of Helens, who have femilies and property to protect. Everythivy was done in a quiet and orderly manner, and sl hope it may re sult in gocd, as the !uw cannot reach men like Murphy. I understand parties who are kaown to harbor a lot of thieves have heen ordercd to leave Montana within ten days, and undoubtedly to- night’s proceedings will hasten their de- parture.

Notlces of the meeting ~ware given in all the churches to-day, but tbere was no responeein the attendance. Mr. Clow made several speeches, and wanted a club of business 1mien organized to glve $10 each to help him prosecute liquor sellers, and compeneate him for the risk he ran.
