The Tale of a Winter Night's
Tragedy.
S9A telegram was received yesterday
at the office of CoL Watson B.
Smith , c'erk of the United Statet su
p-erne court , from W. H. H. Llewel
lyn , the detective , asking that a cer-
, : fied copy of the complaint and war
rant in the case cf Lee Grimes , alias
; 'Curley , " the man who was killed by
urn and Boone May
the night of February 15 , laet ,
be scut to the Deadwood officials.
What these papers were wanted tor
will appear from the following from
The Deadwcod Times , of August 15 ,
received in this city last night :
At the convening of the U S. dis
trict court yesterday morning the
United States grand jury came in and
reported one bill , and stated that they
had no further business. In the mean
time it leaked out that the indictment
that bad been returned by the grand
jury was against W. H. H. Llewellyn
and Boone May , and at 2 o'clock p in ,
they having been arrested in thn mean
time , were arraigned to plead. They
-rere indicted for the killing of Lee
Grimes , alias "Curley , " on the niaht
of the loth of February last , on the
Fort Mf ade military reservation ; and
it is duly sot forth that this killing
was malicious , wilful and with malice
aforethought , and there phrases weio
repeated in the usual form of law.
Parker & Sshofield appaared for the
defendants and arked that bail be per
mitted , and stated that their clients
would be reedy to plead on Monday
next. The court stated that the crime
of murder was not bailable , except on
a written motion by their attorneys ,
and consented to by the prosecuting
attorney , also in writing. Whereupon
the following motion was made :
And now comes the said \V. H. H.
Llewellyn and Boone May and moves
the court to admit them to bail for the
reason that the proof upon which the
indictment was found , is not conclu
sive of the crime charged.
PAKKEU & SCHOFIELD ,
Att'ys for Def t's.
I hereby consent that the defend
ants Llewellyn and May , may be ad
mitted to bail in the sum of 510,000 ,
for the reason that havin ? heard the
evidence before the grand jury , and
beirg familiar with the circumstances
of the case , 1 am of the opinion that
the ends cf justice will bo sub
served by this course , and for the ad
ditional rosisnu that tbo defendants
have themselves been the first to re
port the facts of the homicide , nd
have voluntarily presented themselves
and attended th s cour. . for the purpose -
pose of this invtst gition.

were ever given in a cnmin il case in

have , through lheirett < iruoys , arrai.g-
od for 6ii iimnedidte tri.l , which , however -
over , will be delayed for a few dys
pending the arrivul of the certified
copy of the warrant , and the c.im-
phiint upon which Curley'a areat was
made , which has been telegraphed
for. "
The following condensed account of
the affair , which was published in de
tail at the time , trill ba of interest to
all who know the parties under in
dictment :
CurJey , the man for whose killing
they are indicted , is supposed to have
been one of Middloton'a gang. Ho is
known to have robbed a pnatoffice in
theX'obrara country of 81.50 woith
of postage stamps , and as he wss sus
pected of being a horse thief and
road agent , 'tho mining and express
companies were down on him , nnd
t-till back up the men who did the
killing.
Curley's death had Bomethinc ; of
the tragic in it. The day was bitter
cold , the thermometer being way ba-
luw zero. Llewelljn and May had
orders to bring in Cutley , who was
out at a station on the Pierre tr l.
They were furnished two government
hcnes at Fort Meade , near Dead
wood , and rode out. Having the drop
on their man there was no unpleasant
occurrence at his arrest , and the party
turned to go to Doadwcod , Curley
riding in the advance on his own
horse , which was fresh , while those of
his captors were jaiod by the ride
out. Just what occurred afterward is
known only to the two men indicted.
They siy that the handcuffs were ta
ken offCurloy , as his hands would
have been froz n etiff had they been
left on , and that ho was warned at
the time that if ho made a break he
would be shot. The nicht wns dark
and stormy. Whoa about half way
between the place where the
captuie wag effected and Deadwood -
wood the officers sy Curley started
his horse toward a timber ravine , and
that they called to him to stop before
firing. They brought his horse Into
Deadwood , after returning the ones
they rode to Fcrt Meide , and sold it.
The body of Curley lay frozen stiff be
side the stage road for two days , no
one taking the time to inter it.
County warrants were so depreciated
that the coroner was unable to hire a
team to bring the body to Deadwood
Llewellyn and May have always ac-
kncwledged the shooting and the only
question raised will bo whether Cur
ley did try to escipo , or whether ho
was considered an unhandy man to
have about , and was therefore disposed
of as mentioned.
The Times fays : "This is a remark
able case. Two men who acknowledge
that they shot this man Curley , fol
lowing up fiwt the territorial and then
the United States grand jury , and ask
ing to be indicted that they may have
a chance to vindicate themselves for
ridding the world of a monster. This
is something that does not often oc
cur. Thev do not deny the killiup
and never did , but have from toe first
courted an investigation. They ac
knowledge the killing , but nlead jus
tification. Another thin ; ; ii , it has
b-ien claimed that the freighters weie I
all of them fesr.'ully incensed , claim
ing that ho was sn innocent mun , but.
in con trad ction to this , the man who
owned the train that Curley was wag
on master of was the first man who
came to the front snd volunteered tote
to po on tbfcir bonds. "

1 HE BKB can't answer all the lies
hat are being circulated by the mo
nopoly hirelings , who are trying to ob
struct and defeat the registration sys
tem , but we are constrained to Bay
that the charge made by The Repub-
lean in its last issue that over twenty
men were registered secretly at the
Smelting works Thursday , is absolute
ly falte. It miy not ba generally
known , but it ; s nevertheless a
fact , "that the representatives of the
U. P. and Republican outfit , have
been present at all times at the places
of registration and they have kept
tally of the register , taking down the
name of each person as he was placed
on the list. For the accommodation
of the workingmen of the smelting
works two registrars were instructed
to wait on the workingmen there at 6
p. m. , as they left the works , and reg
ister such of them as might request it.
This fact was communicated to young
Gridloy who Wfts ohe of the assistant
registrars representing the U. P. , and
he was invited to go down with the
registrars ti the works. The fact that
the Republican prints the names of
the persons tegistered there shows
that there was nolbir g secret about i
And right here we are requested to
invite all parties who claim to have an
interest ia purifying the primaries
to come forward and furn sh such in
formation as they may have concern
ine any pc-Bon who has been register
ed fraudulently , ei'hor because hois
not a resident cf the county , or be
cinse he is not a citzan. We special ! )
invite the editors of The Omiha Ru
publi an , who have published al
the names , to rectify nny frau
they may know of. If thay d <
know of anylhing wrong and don'1
rectify it , the bUmo will bo entirely
with them. That fellow Bergquis

ANOTHER HO- .
Hascall's Police Court Perfom- :

bat ll.n ,
The Editor of "The Bee" Ar
rested for Borrowing a
Worthless Book.
He is Taken Before the Police
Judge and at Once
Released.
Cheap Capital for Political
Mountebanks.
For the third time in less than six
months , the editor of THE BEE , Mr.
E. Rosewater , lusbeen put to the annoy -
noy nco and snbjeted to the indigni
ty of an arrest on a criminal charge ,
n the most farcial pretext. The first
iin , he was cilled into court on a
of criminal libel preferred by
scall during the Holly excitement
ind after a full trial was discharged by
mtice Powell.
The second time was during the
campagn ; last spring when he was ta-
en to the police court for carrying a'
the night to a puWio meeting
.eld in a locality epireely settled and
lot under any police eurveilhnce. In
hat instance , as in the previous case ,
u made his own defense and was vin-
.icattd by a prompt re'easo.
This time as we are approaching the
more exciting point of the local cam
in which Mr. Rosewater is the
moat active opponent of the railroad
ction , ho h again put to the haras-
ing inconvenience of an trreat on the
must trivial pretext. The main bjact
in this instance , as before , is evidently
a desire to create a division that will
; ivo his political ndvoreaiiea breithing
ime. The facts of the case , britfly
> ! attd , are as follows :
Un Wednesday evening Mr. Ro e
rater dropped into the Boirdof Tr-de
oems , in Union Block , in which Mr.
Alphabet Allen has desk r om. He
sked Allen whpth > r he had lut year's
Sixth ward registration book handy
> that lie cuuiu examine it. Allen
landed him tno book which llosewat-
er laid back on the desk after R few
minutes. About noon Thursday Rose
water called at the Board of Trad
moms aain , picked up the book from
the ) desk on which ii w.is left by him
the previous morning and carried
nto the ndj 'ininj ' ; building into Mr ,
Simerdl's ollice. He requested a
young man in the office to copy some
of tht ? names for comparison with the
republican register , which was to b
corrected by the registrars on Satur
day.About
About noon Friday Mr. Eosewater
called at the Board of Trade rooms
again and Allen asked him whether ho
knew what became of that register
book. H isewater end that he had
borrowed the b ok and wou'd bring
it tnck in a lit'ln while. Ho thin
'alked over to Mr. Simorsl'a cfficp ,
l-ut finding that'ho copying was not
cimp'e'ed wi Iked out pnd forg-1
abiut it un1 1 last evenine , when
ha had a futcible reminder or it in tin :
-hapeof itifctmttion , from a friend ,
whom he met oil the s riset. ti t
worant w a out for his ar-est. A f
uiiuutes later Allen appe red on 'h-
cene and at ill" s-me time Polic mo.i
Bl'dc handedRjsewater thefollo im-
letter :

Mr. Rokowater turn ° d to Al'enwhn '
was present when the letter was
handed him , when he read it and said :
" 1 will give you tha book rielit away. "
I'hoy walktd over to Simeral's office ,
and found the door locktd , Mr.
Kosewater prompt'y jumped into a
buL'gy , roda out to Simerdl's house
dbout a roil ; distant , procured the
office keys and immediately , on reach
ing Cr < iighton b ock , proceeded to the
nfhce , gut the book , wjich was Jyii gen
on the tabl-s and handed it to Mr.
Allen , who was waiting.
ADout two minutes liter Sheriff
Guy st-ppcd up to Rtsowatirano
4uid : " 1 nave a warrant for your ar
rest. " The sheriff made mt-r y over
the farce , and the byctandeis entire
ti eet offered to go the bail of tht
pr s > ner.
When asked how long ho had had
J
the warrant , the eheriff said : "About
dve mtuii'fs. It WJ.B baudtd to rat-
by Mr. Allen as you drove up. "
Pri ceedu g to the police C'jurt , Mr.
Rosewater found a C"mpla'ut charg-
ng him with maliciously abstracting
n official document belonging to a
state oflicer , viz. : the re islrrtr uf the
Sixth ward , Alphabet Allen , the com
( ; hmt baing signed hy Alton nimst-lf
The judge set the case for trial at
10 o'clock to d-iy. In the meantime ,
Air. Roauwater was released on his
own recognizance in the sum of § 300
The complainant , Alien , is an ir
responsible adventurer who naa hung
around this town off and on for sever
al years as a kind of a stool pigeon
nd dependant of the Union Pacific.
Bo came hero at first as a i attache of
The Republican , and ha-i been mainly
a sort of a catspaw for the ling that
eventually rewarded him w th the po
Hition of regiairar of the Sixth ward.
The book being la&t year's registra
tion , is virtually worthies * , as the law
requires that now books ba made out
b fore every general election. A cer-
nfied copy of the registration con
tdiaed in each book ia n file in the
county clirk's i.fflco , and conseqaen 'y '
the book has no value as an offi-ia
document. Allen must have a vtry
Clastic conscience to swear that tha
book was taken maliciously , when he
knew that tha only object eoupht waste
to correct the republican registration
list which he and
his master * are re
sisting and obitrueting , and further
more , in view of the fact thit Mr.
Rosewater when asked about the mat
ter , at once said he had the book and
would bring it back- Allen is evi
dently acting a pirt in this case and
a very disreputable part it is , and one
which no decent party would be
guilty of.
"We presume , a * usual , the arrfsto
Mr. Rosewater will serve as the basis
for a great roorbach in the Republi
can , ani the country will bes a > t < ed
for the hundredth time with the an-
touncdment that Roaewater has com
mitted some terrible crime , and that
ho penitentiary is yawninj for him.

The Mass-Meeting at the
Academy Thursday
Night.
Address sbySenaturSaunders
and-Prof. Wi.ber.
A rouging republican meeting was
hoid Thursday at the Academy of
Music , the house being filled with an i
audience including a very large num-1
b of ladies.
About 8 o'clock the Garfield and
Arther gee * > club marched down from
the county clerk's office , oirryiog the
silk flag recently presented to them ,
Tha stars and stripes aho floated from
the front of the Academy end upon
their folds were affixed the picturesuf
GarSeld and Arthur.
The meetinz was called to order by
the pretident , Hon. Jnhn L. Webs er
and 0 | oned by the G'ea ' club with a
stirrirg tong , "The S lid North. " A
hearty encore elicited as a response ,
"Tho Union Cause is EoLing On. "
Hon. Alvin Saunders , our junior
senator , was introduced by the piesiti
sedi
dent with a brief spesch and made the
difn
firtt address of the evening. The
fnBe
senator remarked the interest shown
ir the present political contest
irai
and said that it was necessary
aif
for ( the welfare of the republic that
the citizens ehould all bo politicians.
tiII
II is the duty of everyone to know the
IIcl
character of those entrusted with the
clrr
management of government affairs.
The necessity for a a olid north against
the solid couth exis'ed in the fact that
tlti
the solid south was fighting its battles
tie at the ballot-box. They need
but forty-seven more votes in congress I
to regnn what the war cost them. |
The twenty-two brgiditrJ who Con
trol congress , would , with a president
tin
make us completely ia their power ,
To meet this wo must elect men who
will stind by the Union , such men SB
Girfield and Arthur. Hancock is
mere figure-head , behind whom stand
the twenty-two brigadiers. Ha is a
,
tool just as Grealey waa a tool. Hancock - .
cock is a good soldier , but not neces-
arily a good bun'ness man and far less
a good statesman. On tha contrary
ho is ignorant alike of government
and financial affiirs. Garfield is
self made man , a man of the people , a
gallat.t soldier , a orat statesman. No

much to the r gret of many who
would have gladly availed themselves
of such tuition. The reputation of
M'fls Butterfield as a musician is well
established , and herlovoof musiofos >
tared at the Ltipsig Conservatory of
Music , where sha graduated after
throe years of bard study , luch aa ia
only encouraged at continental
