A remarkable instance of resolu tion and pluck was recently exem plified in the conduct of a woman in ' eastern Oregon, by the arrest of I Pierce, one of the three recentlv ap prehended stock thieves, who are now iu ''durance vile," awaiting their trial in Idaho county, I. T. They, undoubtedly are members of a gang of desperate outlaws, who infest the entire country from the Missouri river to the Columbia. They have been operating in north Idaho to some extent, and as we are informed, have succeeded in running ofFseveral hundred head of cattle and horses. How long they have been "plying their vocation'' among them is not definitely known. By their adroir uess it is evident they have success fully "covered their tracks" for some time. But fcteru old justice has at last "bit the trail'' of these precious scoundrels aud three of them are now lauguishingin the Idaho county jail, simply awaiting the theatre of for mal justice at the next teim of court, after which the turn key at the Boise penitentiary will shut out for them the light of freedom, and the outlines of "slickears.'" Pierce is one of this trio, and thero is some practical ro mance in the history of his capture. Ho was "tracked," together with two of his confederates, into Wallowa county, where two of them were cap tured. Pierce eluded tho officers and secreted himself in the timber and among the hills. After publishing a reward for his arrest the officers re turned with the others to Idaho county. Pierce remained concealed for several days; in fact until ho was literally "starved out," when he cau tiously visited the farm house of a mau whose narao is is Brnmly, and begged for food. It so happened that Mr. B. was absent at the time and in search of Pierce, nis wife and hired man were at home, and Mrs. R prepared a meal for Pierce ol which ho ate voraciously. He then left the house aud struck across the field in which thero were some hay stacks, qnito distant from the house, and hid iu the hay. Mrs. B. sus pected he was tho fngitive advertised for, and watching his movements, suggested to the hired man that he take the guu and arrest Pierce. The man had no relish for such au ex periment and declined. Mrs. B. said, "if. you won't go after him, In ill." The man conseuted to accompany her as a body guard, and procuring a rope tho plncky little woman raided the unsuspectiug Pierce, who was, no doubt, preparing himself for an after dmuer nap. The sudden appearance of Uie woman, rrope, man and gun, quite disorganized Pierce's nerve forces and Mrs. B's nimble fingers soon had bis arms pinioned and he was escorted to tho house. There tho woman securely shackled him with a long chain and" padlocks and leaving him in custody of the hired man, weut to the barn, harnessed and hitched the team; when the prisoner was loaded into the wagou aud taken by Mrs. B, to the town of Joseph, where she delivered him to tho pro per authorities for extradition to Idaho. We presume that Mrs. B. has been paid the amount of the reward placed on Pierce's head: she certainly deserves it together with a medal for her exceptional courage and tact in apprehending a desperado whose pro per spnere of exertion is within the caatle walls of the penitentiary. Wo commend her to the deteotive craft, and 11 we are ever a fugitive from justice we would prefer to encounter that "hired man," alone, than to com bat the relentless will of the woman who gave him such an impressive object lesson iu cool bravery, and furnished to the world another dem onstration of the fact, that the will of a willful woman, when willfully willed, will often brave dangers, in the face, of which the stoutest hearts of men have quailed and their boasted courage vanished as rapidly and effectually as did the "wolf meal" which our Oregon heroine set before this "Knight of the range" and ani mator of hay stacks.
