Amcr.g the delegates to the Nation
al n ttlcmcn???s convention, which bus
juit finished its session in fit. Louis,
were some of tbo moot celebrated frontier .men
In tbo United Status. Many of them were fa*
Hums as scouts, fighters, and detoctlvcs, and
home of them bad figured at the east in poli
tics or business before taking up their present
pursuit.
W. If. Llewellyn would be a noticeable
figure anywhere. He is unusually tall, of meg.
nlficent physique, and his carriage is such as
to impress the observer with the belief that he
has been a participant in atirriug events.
Trobably no man on tho border has a better
record than he. More than a dozon despera
does have registered oaths that they will havo
his life, and every one believes that ho will
yet pay the penalty tor his devotion to law and
order. When the stock raiiors on the Niobrara
found tho depredations of tbo Middleton gang
unbearable they mado several unsuccessful ef
forts to hunt down the thieves. Discovering
the names of the men instrumental in this
pursuit, the chief outlaw sont them letters
warning them that if they ever appeared
their ranches be would cub their heads off and
forward them to Omaha, to bo exhibited
poles, Ibis made the stockmcu furious, and
they beemuo more determined than ever to ef
fect his c upture.
Llewellyn had seme local reputation ia tho
North Matte and Deadwood country as a <ic
tcctivc. lie had made sovcral difficult arrest?,
and on one occasion had killod two Black Hills
ftlsgc robbers. Wishing to obtain l>is views,
the atockmen sent for him and he unfolded
plan ol operations which was vory satisfac
tory.
He prc|??oscd to take one or two trusty men
With him and join the outlaw band, learn their
haunts, and at the proper time seize tho leader.
Jn all previous attempts torapturo Middleton,
c*r any ol bis porty, it had been found that any
ordinary poise recruited in the country a<lja-
cent was ol no avail, for confederates of the
outlaw would invariably bo found among tho
number and no plan of operations could be
kept a secret. Llewellyn proj*osed to pick his
own men. have arrangements mado with the
troops stationed In the vicinity to givo him ns
alliance when ho needed It, and pluco no dc
prndci.ce whatever ou the settlers.
With au order from W. A. Paxton of Omaha
to his ranrh foreman for horses, Llowcllyn,
accompanied by William Hazon and Cbarlos
Hwcc zi y, started out properly disguised. Stop-
ping at Paxton???s ranch, they produced their
order, obtained tho horses, and under cover of
night redo rapidly toward tho North Loup.
When they arrived at Buffalo Bill's ranch,
Bwcrzry left them, and Llewellyn and Hazeu
proceeded a few tniloa further and met Middlo-
rrlvcs as fugitives from Wyoming, thoy hnd
no trouble In disarming any suspicion tho
desperadoes may have had, aud were cordially
welcomed as members of tho fraternity.
For more than two months they retnainod
with tho party, participating in thoir robboriei
and learning tnefr habits and hiding places.
In thq moan time Llewellyn had found an op
portunity of communicating with Paxton by
means oi 8weezey, and of explaining to him
his plans. He directed Taxtou to send a
trusty man to an appointed place, where ho
was to lio in wait until he could get Mlddlotun
there, end then, at n sigunl, tho outlaw was to
be taken, dead or alive. Mr. Paxton solectcd
for this errand Bill Luykens, an inspector of
the Wyoming stock growers* association, who
went to tho designated spot, and waited there
In the brush several days. At length the party
appeared, Middleton riding ahead, Llewellyn
aud Haken coming next, and aovon or eight
desperadoes following. Llewellyn says they
always observed this order when on the
mau n, as if determined to bo on tho safe aide
respecting tho newcomers. Coming up to tho
place whore Luykena was concealed with a
rifle and two revolvers, Llowcllyn gave tho
signal. At that instant Middlot<>ii???s horse
ahted, aud threw tho outlaw, but th?? latter
w*s ou his loot iu an instant, with a revolver
in ruch hand, pouring shot into the builics.
Lvykena???e title missed firo and ho hugged
tho ground while Llowvllyu and Haxon, riding
kapidly to oho side, ommed on the oilier
thievts. lla.cn soon fell with threo bullets in
blm, but Luykous, setting his wespous in
order, opened a rapid gnlliug fire from the
bushes. With three or tour of their number
Wounded, the desperadoes, including Middle-
ton, wheeled and darted off, pursued by their
two assailants. Alter a little Llewellyn gavo
up the chase, carried flaxen to tho nearest
ranch, and then mado all possiblo haste to
Fort Kublnaoti, where he obtuiuod a detail of
cavalrymen.
Once on Middleton's trail, thoy pursued him
to the Niobrara, and finding tho outlaw's
father, mado him conduct thciu to the gang's
hiding place. After two dass and nights tn
the ssdale they came upon the party iu camp,
and at onco ouened fire. Middleton and two
others fell at tho first volley, and tho former's
wife, who had previously* been uuobsorvcd,
came tunning out begging for ber husband's
life. While ??liis parley was in progrOM tho

One of the most interesting members of the
convention was General Porter. Not many of
the drlryntes knew him. The committee on
resolutions scut in a report ou the Indian
question, calling upon the secretary of the in
terior to limit all Indians to their respective
remvotiona. The prcamldo of the resolution
recited that "either through criminal caroleis-
ness or careful criminality tho Indiaus had
done tremendous injury to tho stock interest.???
It was supposed that the resolution would go
through without opposition, for everybody
bated on Indian, when a tall, dark-skinned
man was seen to rise in the middle ot the ball.
He caught the chairman's eye, and was re
cognized aa General Porter, a Crcok chief of
Indian Territory. He looked around him tn
???a moment and then said, in good English:
I ramchcreas a representative of the cattle In

JTIIE WEB CRY IN THE NIGHT.
Finding n Lost Child In the Night, Taking It
Home and Finding It to be Ills Own,
Ht, Louis Globe-Democrat.
My name ia Anthony Hunt. I ntu adrovor,
and iivo nine miles narny upon the western
S rairic. Thcro wasn't a house in sight when I
rat moved there, my wife ami I, aud now wo
have not many neighbors, though thorn we
havo arc good onos.
from home lo sell about fifty head of cattb
fine creatures as I ever mw. I was to buy
some groceries and drygoods beforo I came
back, and. above all, n (loll for our youngest,
Dolly. Bbo had never hnd a storo doll of her
own???only rag babies hcc mother made her.
Dolly could talk nothing else, and wont
down to tbo very gale to call after mo to get a
big one. Nobody buta parent ran understand
how ftdl my mind was of tho toy, and how.
when tbo cuttle wero sold tho first thing I
hurried oil to buy was Dolly's doll. I found a
largo one with eyes that would opon and shut
when you ptlllod a wire, and had it wrapped
up in a paper and tucked it under my arm
while 1 hnd the parcels of calico, and delaine
aud tea, and sugar put up. Then, late 01 it
was, I started for home. It might liavo been
more prudent to stay until morning, but I felt
anxious to get back and eager to hear . Dolly???s
praises about her doll
I was mounted on a
and pretty wa.???l loaded. Nlg'l
was a mile from town, and settled down ns
dark as pitch while I waa in tho middlo of tho
darkest hit of road I know of. 1 could have
felt my way, though, I remembered it to well;
and when tbo storm that had been browing
broke and pelted the rain in torreuta, l was
five miles or may be six miles from homo.
I rede as fast as I could, but all of a sudden I
beard alittlocry likoa child???s voice. I stop-
ped abort and listened. 1 heard it agin, i call
ed and it answered me. 1 couldn't seo a thing;
nil was ns dark as pitch. I gotdown aud fJU
around in tho gruss???ealled,again, and again
was answered. Then I began to wouder. I'm
not timid, but 1 was kuuwn to be o drovor, and
to have inopey about me. It might bo a trap
to notch nieuunwarcs aud rob and murder me.
1 am not surerititioua, not very, but how could
real child bo out on tbo prairie in such a
night, at such an hour? I might bo more than
htiniun. The bit of a coward Unit hides itiolfiu
most men showed itself to mo then, but once
more 1 heard tho cry, and said I:
If itny men's child is hereabouts Anthony
Hunt is not the man to let it die.???
1 searched again. At last I bethought me of
hollow under tho hill ami groped that way.
Buro cucugli 1 fcuud a little dripping thing
that nu-auedjand sobbed as I took it in tuy
arms. J called my horto aud the beast camo
to me aud I mounted and tucked tho littlo
krd thing under my coat as well as I could,
promising to take it homo to mamma. U
sevuitd eo tired, and pretty soon cried itself to
sleep on my bosom.
U had slept there over au hour when I saw
my own windows. There wero lights lu thorn,
and 1 auppoicd my wife hnd lit them for my
sake, but when I got into the doorway I saw
something wax tho matter, and stood Hill with
a drend b ar of heart five minutes before l
could lift the lateh. At last I did it and saw
tho room full of neighbors and my wife amid
them weeping. When sho saw me she hid her
face.
Oh, dent tell him,??? she cried. ???It will kill
him."
What is it neighbors?" I cried.
???Nothing now, l hope. What's that you
have in your srin????
???A poor lost child,??? said l; ???1 found it on
tho read. Take it, will you? I???ve turned
faint.??? Aud 1 lifted tho bleeping thing aud
saw the face of my own child, my Dolly.
It was my owu darling and cone other that I
bod picked up on the drenched road. My lit
tlo child had wandered out to meet papa and
tha doll while the mother waa at work, and
they were lamenting her as one dead. 1
thanked heaven on my knees before them.
It is tot much of a story, neighbors, but l

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
A JUtlt iroHlic Iron Labor Slirket???T\reve
Thousand Men Ihrosrn out ot (York.
Cx4.vir.AKD, December 5.???'From a careful
compilation of the reports received the Iron
Trade Review computes that within the pait
four weeks twenty-five iron establishments
havo started up, giving employment to 12,175
men. In four establishments the force has
been iuerfsaed by 1,250 men. In 10 establish
ments the working time has been reduced
au average of 8 hours, and in 39 establishments
the wages have been reduced an average
per cent, affecting about 20,000 men, and
27 cst&bilFbmenU have closed down entirely,
throwing out of work 12,275 men. These figure*
relate only to the iron and steel industries.
Bonu Norwalk, Conn., December 0.???For
the last few daya the proprietors of the factor
ies here have made desperate attempts to gain
new hnhds, hut the vigilance of the atrikeri
have prevented them. Becoming desperate,
James II. Knopp and Wm. I???almcr, the for
mer of the firm of Crofut & Palmer, and tho
latter euperintendent ot tho bat factory, form-
ix-g a company, appeared on the streets with
revolvers in their hands end threatened to shoot
any of tho strikers who attempted to dissuade
any of tho imported laborers from New Jersey
from going to work. This naturally aroused
tbo ire of tbo atrikeri, and so vory effectually,
that they in a measure rebelled, but offered no
violence. It was through this that tho un
truthful reports of tho riot wero started.
The disnatch sent to tho governor last night
was done in the heat of excitement, and was
unwarranted. It was brought about by a gang
of boys following Andrew J. Crofut, a hat
manufacturer, about the streets and hooting at
him, and not from any action of the strikers
ttemselvcs.

The dieratvli which your correspondent sent

relative to the shipment of large quantities of
pig iron to Philadelphia^ Boston and oth.-r
northern end eastern mnrkots from southern
furnaces, has caused a great deal of dlscusv.on

iVmtsylvoniajournals maintain that the sou'.h
cannot compcto with tho furnaces in their

this city from northern individuals show
that the possibilities of tho aQuth's becoming

Not long ago a mother and daughter called

cian. The young Indy was fair of faeo, gra-iu-
fill of form, with & complexion indicating
health, and yet her mother said thcro was every
indication to her that she was the prey of some
mysterious disorder. At her request the physi
cian mado a searching examination. Nothing
was discovered. At the importunities of thu
mother another physician was called ia and
another examination made with the same re
sult.
In the same city another prominent physi-

Bhe htd scarcely stated her case wbon her lips 1
quivered, her face paled, her arms dropped to ,
her side, and she was dead.
Bhc died elono with her physician, and gos
sips made high scandal, but a post mortem
examination showed that her death was caused
by a convulsion, and tbo voice of slander was
hushed. These are facts which can bo sub
stantiated if need he.
Medical.science docs not tell its all we ought
to know. It is small satisfaction for us that j
death must toy our friends low before wo can
find out tho nature ot their diseases. Life is a
great mvsttry; and it is a sad commentary on
present human attainments that death is the
only key which in many cases can unlock tho
depths of this mystery.
