The particulars of his pursuit and cap
ture have already been published through
out the country, and are doubtless fami
liar, to all. The head itself is in a com
'plete state of preservation, and bears
the impress of his character in every
feature and lineament. It is that of a
man apparently between twenty and
twenty-five years of age. The fore
head is high and well developed, the
cheek bones elevated and prominent, and
'the mouth indicative at once of sensual
jity, cruelty and firmness. The hair—of
[a beautiful light brown with a golden
tint—is long and flowing; the nose
high and strait, and the eyebrows,
which meet in the middle, dark and hea
vy. The eyes, now closed in death, are
said to have been dark blue, with a keen
restless glance, and when excited, a
glare of ferocity like that of an infuria
ted tiger. The face tapers to the chin—
upon which, and on the upper lip, there
is a thin beard like that of a young man
who had never shaved. Under his
right eye there is a small scar—the
mark, no doubt, of some desperate con
flict. The death of this monster is an
occasion for general rejoicing, and all
honor is due to the noble fellows who
have rid the State of so terrible a
scourge.—-[San Francisco Herald.

even of the great historical facts of Chris
