Last night tho town was patrolled by a party of fifty armed cowboys, who had come in from Powder river in tho behef that the work of extermination had been commenced against men who were alleged to be rustlers. Prouble was looked for at any moment and it was with goueral relief that the law-abiding people awoke this morning to discover that no acts of violence haa been committed during the nignt. There was recontly started in Buffalo an organization known as the Johnson County Farmers and Stockmen's Protective asso- ciation. To this organization a number of mon alloged to bo cattle rustlers belong, The two men who were assassioated wero com- monly reputed to be rustlers, although this has becn denied iu the caso of Jones, but both moen belonged to the new ussociation. Whien the news of their murder was carried abroad it was generally belioved by their riends that the work of retaliation ou the art of tho big stockmen had beon com- menced and it was necossary for the sef pro- tection of all of them to gather togetner and display their strength, A man named Bash hoard the shots which killed the two horses owned by Tisdale and tho supposed murderor ride away, aithough at this time he did uot suspect that any foul work bad been done. This man afterward in ottempting to describo tho murder sald ho rodo a horse which closely re sembled one ownod by Frank M. Canton, who is & well kuown ranchman and deputy United Stutes marshal for that district. ‘I'he news rapidly went from mouth to mouth, and soon i% was stated positively that Cantor himsolf was th Tu tho excited condition of things the only wonder is that moro bloody work did not follow. Cooler counsel fortunately provailed. An interview ook place today batween Can ton and Fred Hesse, o big cattle man, and the rangers from Powder river. The latter were complotely satisfied that neither of the two gentlemen could have been concerned in tho bloody deegs. Two men, of whom is the preswent of the associutlon, wero reported missing and were consequently believed to have been murdered, but both havo turned up all ght.

He exnibited & bottle of clear water, to which ho added a drug which caused it to assume a desp soar- let hue. That was the awful state of the rebellious heart.
