Keeping close watch upon the premi ses, the . searchers about daylight heard a noise in the Butler house as though made by some one arising. A little later Lambert came to the door and opened it as if intending to go into the yard. As Lambert appeared the party sprang to the door to make the arrest.

The capture of Lambert was largely due to Messrs. Morgan and Regan, who have been for some time at work on the case and quietly, but persis tently prosecuting the search. Lambert, who is only about 19 years of age, told his captors that he had not been more than three miles from his home since the shooting. A reward of $100, offered by Gov einor Russell,' was outstanding for the capture of Lambert. About 3 this afternoon Lambert was taken to the passenger depot.
