OOUNOIL BLUFFS. Fnday Mornmg, Soptember 7. A unique information was filed in the superior court yesterday, in which Jennic Epps, a white girl, charges four colored ones, Nan Henderson, Minnie Morton. Mrs. Annie Jones and Minnie Christ with “‘threatening to murder said Jennie Epps, and did further threaton to relieve #a1d Jommits Epps of every drop of blood in said Jennio Epps' body, and the saic defondants did thereby threaten to do snid Jennie Epps great injury.” The dusky quartette was brought in, and sev- oral witnesses examined, tho caso to be continued and probably concluded this aftornoon. It was claimed by the do- fense that the cause of the troublo was that Mrs, Jones got hold of a sweot lot ter which her dusky husband had written to Jennie, and that she had heard Jennie was rather taken with him.

A hump.backed sort of a young fellow called Willam Anderson, known as “Humpy" on account of his physical pe- culiarity, visited tho stable belonging to R. 8. Cole’s residence, on Bluff street, Wednesday afternoon about four o'clock. W. F. Cole, one of Mr. Cole's sons, was in the house at the timo, and hearing the stable door open, noticed the stranger walking out into the alley with the plander. He at once hurried ou! after him, and saluting him if he had not becter leave those things. The fellow coolly asked him if that was not Mr. Cole's house, and on bing again told to drop the things, did 80, a1:d young Cole calling the hired girl to tako them back into the stable, started to wulk the fellow up to the polico station. Ho went along quietly enough until they reached the corner of Dr. Montgomery's house, when the fellow suddenly hit young Cole & blow on the head and skipped out. Ho was after- wards arrested by Ofticor Mullen, and locked up in the city calaboose. but as he was making pretty good headway climbing but of that pen, he was taken to the county jail. Yesterday afternoon he was brought before Judge Aylesworth for exainination and secured Lindt & Hart to defond him, After the examina- tion of the witnesses for the prosecution a continuance was granted till the 19th, Anderson is said to have just got through sorving one term in the penitentiary, and there seoms now a protty good show A.

Music in Cmmml Blufs From the Pottawattamics to the Orchestra of the New Opera House, Interesting Reminiscences of the Early Musicians, Happy Reminders for Old Settlers, Fresh Facts for New Ones, Tur Ber, a short time ago, brought to the surface a history of the drama in Council Bluffs from the earlier amateur organizations, and the first and rudest stage, down to the present time, when Dohany's new opera house is fast ap- proaching interost awakened by that dramatic review of the past has led to another brushing away of the dust of past 8 to get a peep at what music, the sist completion, The of the drama, has been doing here locally, Of the music of the Pottawattamies, but little is known, but from the best au- able, it was o ry rude character, consisting of war dances played upon the hugag and tom-tom, accompa. nicd by gutteral sounds, and slapping of hands by the performers, who were ar- thorities obtai ranged in a circle, soated upon the ground. With the departure of this tribe, and the advent of the Mormons, a new era da; 1, and the sound of the violin was heard in the land. This so- ciery hus always been noted for its fond- ness for music and dancing, and s a con- sequence, that instrument was in great demand ind quito & number of skiliful | performers were found when the Gentile wave relled in upon the happy communi- ty. Among theso were Fred, Lord, Jim Orton and Uncle Bob Russell, Al ave now pussed away, but are still remember- «d by many now living here, In 1849, the first piano mado its ap- This was owned and played by Murs, Perry, who lived in a log house, where Peter Dechtel's new hotel now stands, on DBroadway, and there are watrors and middle-aged men now here, who a8 children would congregute in front of the house, and listen for the first time to the won- derful music. This was soon followed by another owned by a Mrs, Sherratt. These again were followed by that of Jure niah Falsom, and a hittle later ene owned by M Falsom aud played by his dai ghter Amelia, afterward Mrs, Brigham Youuy. Inthe fall of 1855 the tirst brass band was organized, and from this date the music of civilization can be said to have been established in Council Bluffs. Among the mombers of this band werce C. C. Kuhn, leader; Capt. N. T, Wash. Griffey, h.w-ny, Smith, Sidney Smith, Jim Orton, John Huntington, Tom Perrin and others, This band, considering the tune and opportunities, played well, but like most amateur associations, waa short h\u] In 1856, H. H. Field, now chief appeared with his violin, org small orchestra, which was o destined with oceasional changes of mdividual membership to become a feature of Coun- ¢ | Bluffs, and adjoining towus, known us Field's Band for more than twenty years. o year '66 also brought us Miss An- nie and Lizze Van Arman, both sweet singers, the former Mrs. Judge Jamos-— possessing a voico of wonderful power, richness - and culture, which has been happily transmitted to her talented |Inuulunr, Miss Kate Larimer James, Little Fannie Kellogg also came that year and thougs hut o weo thing, her voice hen gave promiso which it has since ful- lilled by churming thousands, From this on to the present time, the taste has been constantly improving un- til none but tirst-class music will b tol- orated by a Council Bluffs audience, and perhaps 1o city of its size can produce a greuter number of creditable performers, both vocal and iustrumental, than ours, .| while nearly every house is provided with an instrument of some kind, and all the churches have excellent choirs, It would not be proper to close this ar- ticlo without special mention of one who, more than and other, has contributed to our advancement in this direction. Weo allude to Joseph Mueller, He came here in 1868, a stranger in a strango land, speaking our language but poorly, but possessing & wouderful: mount of energy, pluck and endurance. He worked as a common laborer until opportunity offered for him to show his hand in his legiti- mate line. He thoncommenced teacl the piano, organizing chools and socie- ties, working in sesson and out of sea- son, and never tiring. It was he that first trained Fannie Kell and Kate Larimer James, and we congratulate him in his success, as well as our peoplo, mthu refining influence his work has Many others might be mentioned, who have at different periods contributed their share as teachers towards the work. Messrs. DeVol, Minkler, Goff, Berry, Olker and Glonn, with Mr. and Mrs. Powell, and Mr. and Mrs, Ford, bring us down to the present time. The coming demand, with the comple- tion of the new opers house, will be for a small permanent orchestra, say of eight pieces, \Vho shall be the one to start it? ——— “Illulullun The partnership heretofore existing be- tween the undersigned, under the firm name of Nugent & Suuth, has this day been by mutual consent dissolved, the firm of Smith & Toller to succeed them, Smith & Taylor agree to pay all accounts of the old fivin, and they are hereby au- thorized to collect all accounts due’ said firm, T.
