In a lew in unites, al ter l.iil.lin Bill froml-Iiy, tlioy vvt-ie n tliu packet, iliitt ino; down stivam with tlic slack tiilc; i'r thtre was not a hit of air, sstiiting. The way was long t- Kivt rtown, aiol promised little of interest to the yomio; voyagers. The river was wry heautiful, lionlercd hy deep woods and nuijestic roiks, whose dark sl;ado".vs la upon the waters, hut they did n.d care much about such things. They would talk for a moment to peojile in boats, make si-ua's to any one they uiiilht see on chore, sliout to hear their voices echo iitnoiiLT the rocks; but boys are impaiieiit, itud s7o th.y were bored on botud the packet. TtK re was a little cabin in "ihe .Sally Ann," (which was the vessels name,) and they went down to see what it was like. It was a little close place, with two small hobs in the stern I'm cabin windows, and a shelf each side, en which, if hard put to it, one or two Diiolit sleep. The boys stretched thciu tclvesoii these .-helve's, ami looked out dismally over the still water far behind. 'Flier-- was an elderly passenger, who was also annoy il by the slow movements of tin- b.'at. lie had -Town tired of view ing the scenery, and thrown his magazine oiie s:.l ', and asked the skippei if he ha 1 a lishin-iiiu' n boi.rd. One -f the men opened "a little closet near at hand, uud piu-.luced a Hue; and then, us there va.- n. other bait, he brought a pi. re of fat ink to put on the honk. Tuns pro vided, the o-:it eman threw over his line, j the sinker on which being heavy, it sank (jux kly to the Owtt in, the tine keeping it in nlace. Th n the lisher began the cus- toulal v j)trf, n mauee of pulling the line way from t..e bottom, and poking it w that the least nibble luiiiht not escape him. There is nothing that pleases a lazy man so much as this kind of fishing of course if he catches anything; and wlieti he is too old to carry a pole ad day through bog and brier, it isjust the kind to "taper off with,'" and brag about like uu oht Isini rod. sd he iislicd. "What's that .'"'said Sim in a whisper, as lie saw the line drop into the watcr. soiiiebo(iy"s lishing, I guess,"' replied Ike, who had been about half asleep. 'He can't catch any tiling." ".No, of course not."' "I don't believe he'll get a bite." "Nor I." After waiting a minute Ike said, "Say Kim, s"po.-e we give him some bites.'"' "How f" asked Sim. "I'll show you." Suiting the action to the word, Ike reached out of the little window, took hold of the line, and gave it a gentle twitch. Up went the line, hand overhand, very rapidly, and they heard -i voice say 'Tvas a splendid bite.' "Uite him again, Ike, as soon a3 he gets his line down,'7 said Sim, laughing at the fun of the thing. "I'll give him a bigger bite next time," 6aid Ike. iJown went the line, and it was pulled up nervously for a minute, when, reaching out agaiu it was pulled in swiftly; and the boys were couvulscd with laughter, but kept. as still as they could so that they might not be heard. "Didn't catch him that time," said Ike. "I never had a more positive bite." they heard the lisher say. ' "It must have been a tatitog; they always seein to shut their jaw right down on the bate." The skipper did not think it could be a tautog, because none had ever been caught in the river; but it might be some heavy cod which had come into the river to feed on the muscles at the old bridge further up. Down went the line again, and it was drawn up and down as before; but the boys waited full- five minutes before they touched it. "2sov, Ike, give him a halibut bile," el id Sim. This time Ike gave a more determined pull, with the same reult: when thinking the- had carried the joke farenough, they crept out on deck, where they found the lishctman in a state of great excitement, trying again for a bite, and disappointed he could not get another one, declared that he never had liner bites iu his life. The boys chuckled to themselves,but said nothing. The old gentleman at last discontinued trying, but left his line hanging over the stern. A breeze sprang up, the tide in creased, ami the packet moved Swiftly, the line stretching far Ixihind. 'Sim," said Ike in a low tone, "go down and get that old umbrella-frame we saw there." Sim crept down, aiul soon return ed with an umbtclla, whereof little was left but the sticks; to which the line hav ing been drawn iD, Ike attached the hook near the ferule, that the frame might not spread, and threw it overboard. Having done this, the boys walked away Ycry tin concernedly to another part of tha vu? The line ran out to its utmost length; ; and then a great commotion appeared m the water, as the 'umbrella was dashed i from side to side ami over and over as if ly some large fish thn.t was struggling to free itself. 2s o real Cah could have lieen more active; and one of the men glancing toward it, cried : "What's on the line?" Tl. t-ri? i.. .in. to!v atfrneted the at- tention of the old gentleman, who rushed J sworn: In answer to question from aft, and insisted on his right to pull in the ! court, witness said he had come to tes lish, as he had been so tantalized by tho I tify of his own free will, 1 want to bites. The polite wt.tem.an gay The witness not un- auct, beizmi' uie line, ar' l;i.ulic;iiiij uan to null it m. 'Hie excitement m tne water increasing with the effort he made. It was undoubtedly a blue fish, he said, because he had caught hundreds (if them in Buzzard's Hay. and knew one by the pull. The line slipped from his hands the resistance was so great: and he eager ly began to pull in again. All on board were now watching the line. "1 guess it is a whale," said Ike. 'Or a shark," said Sim. The skipper said nothing, but he look ed funny around the corners of his mouth as he glanced sideways at the boys. Never was there greater trouble in catching a tish; even the Commodore Hun tress and his halibut hooked by the tail, were beaten by this that Hashed and floun dered out there in the water. The sun light was in the eyes of those looking on so that it was no wonder they could not make out what it was. The old gentle man had nearly got it in, and giving a last effort he drew the sea-monster over the stern. Sui piisu and anger tilled the ancient fisherman as he threw down the line and walked away, laying all the blame to the one who first gave tin: alarm. Sonn-how or other it leaked out. ho for A they readied Kivertown, that the lioys did it, as well as what sort of iish it was that gave the bites; and though the old gent felt vexed with them at first, he after wards confessed to the skipper that they were "lively boys." And, when he found out that one of "them was Ike Partington, he asked him for his autograph! Ike was warmly welcomed home by Mis. Partington, who looked him over to see if he hud come back whole, and thru bejan a catalogue rf ipiestions as to what he had seen, how he had behaved, and how they treated him. "I hope you were a gd boy," the said. Ike assured lu?r that his conduct had been irreproachable, for the profit' of which she might ak Sim. "Well I am glad to hear that you didn't do any thing to vindicate yur good i.aine for people judge a person's conduct by the way he behaves Liins-Jl", ami, we are always happier when we have done noth ing that our conscience a-'pMts us ot.

The defense objected because the witness talked Spanish and there was no Span ish, and objected to Young acting in that capacity. Pedro was questioned by the court as to Ids willingness to testify. I want to tell this jury what I know. No one maJe tne a promise if I would come here. Want to tell what I know an.l be left to the law. Understand that I am not obliged to testily. When I swear tight I swear by God. My religion taught me to swear by God, and I don't go back on my religion. 1 tell the truth because it is ric;ht. Xever will swear to lies. Am afraid of myself and my religion. My religion is Catholic. It was deci ded to swear the witness by Catholic forms, and a short recess was taken while the bailiff went for a Catholic bible. When the court convened, the witness placed his hand upon the Bi ble, and the Catholic oath was admin istered by the court. 11. Hietel, being able t- talk Spanish, was sworn in as interpreter. Through the interpreter, witness tes tified : Xo one compelled me to come here, and what 1 testify to I say of my own freo wi.'l. Have been in Nebras ka since is7:5. Know Olive.

Gartreil put the ropearouud his neck. When Gartreil put thi rope around Mitchell's neck Green was not J.ing anything, but was a little way oil. I went there on horseback. When the lope was put on Ketchutn's neck I was on my 'ens ', but Olive told me to ?t off. I locked around for a place to tie my hoise, and Green said he would hold the horse, and be took the rein. I was at the house that night waiting for men that Olive told me would come. Was waiting for Mr. Olive to come and get something to eat. I was getting provisions for the pi isoners and those that were coming with them. I was waiting for Olive but he didn't come. Fi-dier came. When Fisher came, Urown, Bobbet, I ami Gartreil were playing cards. When Fisher came to the door he ordered Gartreil and Brown to saddle his horse. I to'.d Fisher I was not able to rida the horse. Bob bet said he would go. When they came in Bobbet said f.;r me to go; said be could not ride horseback. Bobbet said I hud better go as it was Olive's order, and he thought that they were going to guard the prisoners in another place After my horse was s i Idled Gartreil, Fisher and Brown came up where I was. Gartreil told me to get on my horse, if I did not want to die. I got on my home and Gartreil told me to bur ry up, and I told him I could not ride fast ; Brown and Fisher rode behind. After we got on the other side of the river Olive came running. When they cot to tho wagon I heard them halloo that they wanted the prisoners. When I got to the wagon I saw Gart iVd have his pistol out holding it to Gillen's head. Gillcn told him he had ordeis to go with the prisoners. Gillen said he won Id give them up because he couldn't ho!d them. Some one told Gillen to take the irons oil of their feet. While lie was at, it some one told him to hurry up. As soon as chains were taken off their feet Gillen started for a horse that was near by. I suppose he intended to mount the horse. Du frand walked up to him with a rir!; in his hand and asked what he was going to do with that horse. Iles.dJ if he wanted to ride to get in the wagon. Gartreil got in ths wagon, look hold of the lines and Olivo told him to go ihrad. Gartreil turned the wagon around and they started back on the same load. He drove the wagon back about 1100 yards. Found a tree and drove the wagon underneath. Olive told them all to dismount. Olive, Fish er and Brown dismounted. At that time I came up and stopped in front of Green. Olive told me lo dismount. I got down arid looked aiound for a place to tie my horse. Green told me he would hold my horse for me. As soon as I got to the wagon Olive threw ! Olive then t';V.l OVrtreli t, drive the NUMB EI I (. Wagon ahead. Soon as wagon started Olive said, "Let's go" I then started: for my horse and picked up the rope I Green was holding my horse and he threw me the rop and told me to go I saw Browu in front of Ketchum with gun against his breast. I put my hand on my pistol and told Brown iflieshot at that mini would shoot him. Brown s id, "Don't shoot, I am not gf iug to shoot." Olive said, "Let's go." The wagon started on ahead, and the rest of usfol lowed. The wagon drove up to where Gillaa was and waited. Just before they got to the wagon Green and Bald win told Olive they wantt d to return to Plum Creek. Don't remember the color of the horse (hat Green rode. Olive told Green he had better go hp to the wagon, that there was some whisky there. Green and Baldwin said they did not want any. Seine cno I think it was Olive told rue to ex change horses with Baldwin. I went, to take the blankets of my horse, hut Olive said not to as Baldwin would want them. I. took (hirtri ll's horse and let him take mine. Green, Bald win and Fisher stai ted for Plum Creek. Think Brown and Green exchanged horses. Olive said, "All take a drink." Baldwin and Green did not get. off their horses at the place of execution. The examination of Pedro will be continued this (Thursday) morning. The ca-e will probably reach the jury Friday.
