Ac cordingly the brothers matinViscon - mn aiul HOon made Durand county the lield of various thieving operations , varying their performances now and : hun with a safe cracking operation. They were very cunning in eluding detection , however , and it was nomo- time before the oflicorH iot after thorn n earnest. They then fled to northern [ llinoio , where they stole two or three 'torses and were in turn chased back nto Wisconsin , Early in July last hey stole two horoou from a farmer n Durand county. Charles Coleman , horilFof the county , and Milton Colo- nan , IIIH brother and under-Hhurilt' , lurantid the Maxwells and attempted o arrest them , when thr liorso thieves HioT IIOT1I OVKIOKUH I)1AI ) , ? hia aipilliii ; | ' and cold-blooded nuir- ler arouuod the whole country , and lie Maxwells Hod again to lIlinoiH. Choir pictures were extensively eircu- ated about Illinois , and SlierilF Liuu- ny , of Calhoun county in , that Htate , ; ot on their track. He pursued them nto n forest and brought them to bay , vhcn the desperadoes ahot and killed lie HherilF and dangerously uoundcd' ft'o men who wore with him. The Maxwells then cut the throat of one of the horses ridden by the lurmnng party and rode away utrido the other two homes. They crossed into Missouri , and from that loint all track of them was lost until nst Tuesday morning , when Slier ill' viliun surprised them at a farm houne about live miles northwest of Grand 'aland , The particulars of tlrj capture , tlthongh imperfectly given before iu TDK HKK at the time , were in the main correct , but will bear re-publication. 3n Monday evening uinan toldSherilF ivilian in Grand Island that two de.s- ) orate looking and uuspicioua charac- .era were stopping at a lurin liouse , whuro a Gorman resided , about lire miles from town. Kilmn concluded to look them up , and during the night wont out there , accompanied by one man. Just at daylight on Tues day morning he knocked nt the farm er'H door , and , stating that ho and his companions were duck hunters , ivjkcd For a cup of collee. Upon entering the iioirno ho observed two men lyins ; on the floor , on a made-up bed. and covered with horse blankets. They Immediately are BO nnd commenced dressing. While thu farmer's wife was preparing thu coffee the KherilF was looking the Btranf.ora ; ovor. Ho was immediately struck with their re- aomblunco to the 1IAXWKU. , AIUS"WILMAMS , " brothers and atoppod into an adjoining room where ho consulted pictures of the outlaws ho had in Ian pocket and which had boon aunt him utter their escape. When ho came back into the main room ho again looked at thorn carefully and bocumo Btisfiod that ho had the right men. Ho ob served , however , that the two were heavily urmed , both having Winchester - tor ritlea and revolvers. While ho waa endeavoring to devise aomo way in which to bag his game ono of thu men , who turns out to bo the younger of the brothora , went out doora , lenv ing his brother Bittinon a trunk und holding a rillo in one hand. Acting on the advantage , Sheriff Kilian atoppod up to the remaining man and uaid : "i WANT vou. " Max veil made n < niick move to ruisq his rifle , but the ollicor was too "and- den" for him nnd grasped hold of the piece , at the aamo time Bhoutinj ; tc his deputy tu watch the doom and windows , After a brief struggle Maxwell waa overpowered und bhucldod , but not before ho hud raised u war.vhoop wliioli brought the other brother on the run to the houso. Snapping the JmndouU'a on his man the F.hcrilT stcpnc'l outside tlio door and met Lon Max well , wlio fired at him twice , but missed. Kilian retreated into the houao mid shut the door , which Maxwell pushed opsn , but this time was confronted with a double barreled shotgun in the hand of the deputy. The deputy pulled both triggers but neither cartridge would respond , and thus the outlaw's lifo was probably saved. Maxwell ran to .Window , where the shotgun again mot him , and ho then turned and lied toward the tall Kr.vw , In the meantime the captured desperado wai HTUUWIMNO WITH DIISl'l'-HATlON , but tlio farmer nnd his mm had promptly assisted the odicers and suc ceeded in finally securing him m > that ho could inovo neither arm nor leg. Thus bound , ho was con voyed to the Grand Island jail , and a party started immediately in pursuit of tlio ono still at large. They tracked him ti distance and then lost the trail , and no further trace was discovered until Thursday , when it was learned that a man answering to hi.'i descrip tion had been seen at Aurora , Hall county , about twenty-live miles northwest - west of Grand Island. About 12 o'clock at night n man in a cap and jacket hired a boy to buy him soin bread at a restaurant , winch he took and disappeared. .From this point the search , however , availed nothing , 1'nrties are still on the lookout , who liopo to capture him. SUNIIINfl TIIK NKWH TO WISCONSIN. An ROOII M Sheriff ivilian became satisfied , by a comparison of Inn pris oner and bin picture , that lib had cap tured the older of the Maxwell broth- era , he telegraphed Slioriu" Knight , of 1'epin county , Wisconsin , the news. Thitl oflicer immediately informed Henry and Edward Coleman , broth" ] s of the men murdered by the Maxwolls. and the three tttarted as soon as possible for Grand Island. When they arrived there they went imme diately to the jail. Maxwell wai informed that some gentlemen wished to aeo him , and instantly asked , "Aro they residents of this place ? " The an swer was in the nllirmativu and the visitors were ushered into the coll. Maxwell looked sharply at all three , and when asked if he knew them said 10 " Then asked SherifF Knight , "Wero you not in Pepin county , Wis consin , last Btimmor ? " At this , it is stated , Maxwell gave a start , and it wan an instant before ho recovered his breath. When ho did so , ho said huskily , "I dcclino to answer ques tions , sir. " The next thing wun to < HT : A of the prisoner jmt aa ho was. This was very difficult to accomplish , Max- ivoll distoiting his features and strug gling so that three pictures had to be taken. At length a passable ono was > btainod , and a copy wnu uoiit to the Jolict penitentiary. The following liapatch was received from the prison o-day : JOI.IKT , 111 , , November 15. I'o M. Knight , sherifF : The picture , though not a good ono , is nnnifitvkab'ly : that of Edward Max woll. So Hay oflicers hero. His height 11 1870 was live feet , three and a half nchen. No acara shown S. W. WKTMOUB , Record Clerk. This dispatch tends to fully idont ify t ho man inctmtody of the otlioornns Edward Vlaxwcll , alias Williams , aa his height B exactly five foot three and a half nches The prisoner is unmistakably i good-looking man , having regular eatures , a high forehead and f/ood cetli. Ilia complexion is very dark , ) ut clear. His oyoa alone would give ho impression of his being a danger ous man , they being of that glit- oring black color which calls o mind the analto. In build 10 ia almost perfectly proportioned , and every muscle on his body stands out prominently. Weighing only 140 Hiuiuls ho is both powerful nnd quick is a flash and his past career fully lomonatratod thu possession of a lorvo to carry out any desperate leed. That SlierilF Killian and ono nan succeeded in capturing mich an igly customer is proof that the younger brother was right when ho wrote the prisoner that Nebraska wasn't ' a "healthy placo" for them ind tlmt the county ollicoM of this state are men who fear neither des peradoes nor outlaws. WHY THUY WEHK TIIKUH. With the foregoing opinicji of the iisalubriousness of Nebraska air , it may bo a little surprising that the Maxwells returned into the slate , nnd especially in the moro populated por- ion. Hut an explanation for this ia found in tlio fact that nt Oaco , Kear- tey county , reaidoa David 11. Max well , the father of the Wisconsin nurdorors. The old man ia n respect able farmer as far as known , Tlio hoys voro doubtless on their way toward lis home when they were surprised , and to reach there were altonitttyly walking nnd riding * n freight trains on the Union Pacific road. They had jono to Grand Island from Tim CITY , whore they were about three wcoka ago. This wa evidenced by Mas- woll'a expression last evening aa ho was taken through the atrootu nnd to jail. As ho was going up Painhnm street ho said : "I've soon this town before. Me and my pard were Lore a little while ago. " When ho reached the jail ho stated that they had walked up by there and bad looked the place ovor. Further than this ho did not explain , but the nuppoaition is that tlio men stopped hero for a day or two and walked about the town , in Hcarch of an opportunity to play HOIIIO of their crooked games. Itoforo the otli- cers left Grand Island yesterday u dispatch waa received from David Maxwell , the eupposed father of the prisoners , that ho would bo there to-day and wanted to 100 his son , When Ed , was shown the dispatch ho claimed to not know anything about the uonder , but ho af terwards requested thu lllcors tu ro- mnin hero n day , Baying that ho would like tu BOO "tho man. " The roquoat will , not bo nccodod to however , and the c dicers will leave with tjie prisoner , on the Sioux Oily & St , Paul railroad , for Wisconsin , SheritF Knight auid last evening that although the excite ment in Popin county is intense , lie docs not anticipate any mob vie lence , and the brothora of the murdered ahorilFi will not aanction any attempt at lynching. SherifF Kilian goca along to secure his richly earned reward of 8.1,100 , or half the Mini olFerod for the capture of the Max well alias "Williams" brothers. utvi.vn HJM.siar AWAY. Although the prisoner hai stoutly maintained his ignorance of such a man as Edward Maxwell , ho has nevertheless "given himself nway" upon several occasion1 ! . Ho wa9 in formed by Sheriff Kilian that ho arrested him for horse steal ing. The next day the prisoner told a ri'porlor that ho was arrested as ono of the Maxwell brothers , who committed n murder in Wisconsin. The fact of this crime not being men tioned to the prisoner made it evident that ho know soSnotliint ? of it. Yes terday from the train ho pointed out iv way station on the U. I'-whoro lie Haid his partner iind'ho ' had stolen two horse blankets found over them when they were mirprisol When on the train , alto , ho stated that ho would have killed Kilian if ho had suspected ho wns an officer bejoro the latter attempted to arrest him , and boasted that if his "pard" ( in ho al ludes habitually to his brother Alone - ono ) had had a rillo out of doors on Tuesday morning lie would have "killed the whole gang , " but that ho would have freed him. Evidently the Maxwells' jig is about up. CLEAR AS MUD. Thnt Omaha Is Determined to Pave Her Streets.
