MORE ABOUT BURNETT SCOTT.

(I» W«»s Probably Killed ami Tlirowu Into the River. O'NEILL, Neb., Jan. :i. —It i* believed

fiow Burnett Scott has been murdered ind his body thrown into the Niobrara -liver. Sheriff Hamilton and men racked the wiipm in which ^cott and •Vhinidt were taken to w'''iii. a lew linles of the river, when ail trace was lost.

The quicksands in that section of the liver would quickly swallow auybodv thrown in. Residents of tiie country in which tile crime was committed say for ie last three or four days, a large number of men have been riding through that portion of the country, all being heavily armed. .Members of the posse returned to the rity yesterday evening with Mose Elliott us a prisoner. He was turned over to tin deputy sheriff of this county, and is confined in the county jail, lie was arrested at his home about "JU miles northcast of this city. The warrant was sworn out by Schmidt, who charged Elliott with being one of the mob, ndio attacked them, shot Miss „\ic Whorter, and probably murdered Scott and spirited his body away.

Elliott is a farmer living in Scott township, which was named after the missing man, and has been an avowed enemy of Scott for the last two years, a fact which the prisoner admits. Wheu arrested he said he was expecting it, ami, while he was not always able to prove or explain his whereabouts every day, he could prove where he was the day and at the hour when the attack •was made on Scott. He denied being implicated in the case and also denied all knowledge of it.

Schmidt insists that Elliott is one of the men who shot at them. Sheriff Hamilton and a dozen men are still in the country, and it is rumored that four or live persons will soon be arrested. They have men who were in the mob spotted.

Privy Councilor's Wife (to her spouse) —I am getting quite ashamed of this old coach. Look how the peoplo stand still and look at us with contempt. If you don't wish to drive nio to despair, you must buy a new turnout.

Woo Ichopper—Here I've to chop firewood for that rich property owner, while ho sits doing nothing the livelong day. I'd give anything to change places with him for one week.

Property Owner—I am tho unhappiest man in the world. It doesn't look as if I should ever got well again. The doctor says I ought to work. To bo sure, if I had a strong constitution liko that woodcutter outside there, I would chop wood from morning till night and bo as happy as tho day is long.

Young Man—Tliero goes Lieutenant N with his wife, tho loveliest and most amiablo creature I ever set eyes on. Aye, these lieutenants always liavo tho pick! Ah, poor me!
