LITTLE CAYUSE CAPTURED. Ominously the words sounded in the hush that followed the pronunciation of the death sentence on Buffalo Bill--“One, two, three!” The scout had been dazed by the long flight through the air and impact with the water. He scarcely realized the import of the words. “Four, five, six!” the counting continued slowly, while the arms of four men settled into rigidity, holding four frowning rifle muzzles on the human target.
