Dkmopolis, Ada., Oct. 12.?Although the excitement over the Burrows tragedy has iu a measure subsided, the people of litis city and county can talk or thiuk of nothing else. The sensational finale of the outlaw's life, the ringing down of the curtain, is now an event of yesterday, however, and will soon he tradition merely. Yesterday , about as usual and discussing yesterday's occurrence only casually. Amidst the turmoil and confusion yesterday. much garbling was done in giving out the accounts, and necessarily some of this disjointed work Is more or less visible in every paper.

Instead of delivering his prisoner to the slu-in* nf Marengo county, McDullie Willi ti.e assistance of his two negroes, retained custody of llto prisouer. MoUutlic's course is explained by the fact thai lit: was not inclined^ turn liurrows over to the bherHl' because the later might claim the reward or a portion of it for tl e ^ delivery of Uurrows to the Express company. Aud so on account ol this - idea of MeDulIie's, liurrows was lctt iu a room ol tlie jail building, McDutlie and the two negroes all heavily armed kept guard over the prisoner until midnight, w oc n one of the negroes went to sleep.

The outlaw was silent for a long t:me alter he cnterd the room, but liually '.his sullenuass wore away and lie hndtpiitft a conversation with McDuflio on the chase after him. liurrows was especially 1 ittcr against Detective Titos.

He ha<I made Burrows if MAY 1JK HE 1>II> and may be he didn't. The people would hear more of it later. It must have been along about 3 o'clock, says McDutlic, when his prisoner askt d hi 1 for something to eat, saying he was hungry and had not tasted food since the morning. McDutlio replied that he was in a similar condition, but there was no help for :t, and they must stick it outlogcthcrr Harrows then said he had some candy and corn bread and bacon in bis saddle-bags, and lie desired to get!lie food. Almost before he wnsawcrc of it, says McDullic, the negro got up. walked to the door, picked up the leather cavalry sandlc-bngs and tossed then over to i?nv..nu'c 'I'lm IntIrr rnnchnrl Ida liiind down into one o! the sortitions, and produced some candy, giving some to McDutlic and some to the negro, who had given him the saddlebags.

Suddenly, without a word of warmni or a preliminary., motion Indicative <? ^wl.at was |'^.^vir\v(i uicj i?u>toi.s lrom the saddlebags, and covering car! of his guards he ordered the chains stricken from his legs.

Then, will ids pistols still drawn, he made once the negroes chain MeDuH'e, and tied th other negro to him, lie then locked tl door, saying: "I'm Bubo Burrows, air I'm (iOINO TO I'AINT TJI1S TOWN KK1?.
