Postmaster Armour has received from shington, instructions to get some civil engineer to prepare a plat of the site of the proposed government building with grade, etc , and send a1 80on as pos sible.

Most of \ mide pub important incidents After the first lie, but some vory hase been overlooked. trouble in the room, and after Fagan and his cousin Davis, and the young man Townsend had gono out. Townsend camo back and warned Lewis that there would be trouble, and *hat the boys would make him give up the room. Some ladies in | the house heard the threats which Fagan and his cousin mado to Lowis when they went out. Thoy had been drinking then, it being ten or eoleven o'clock. When they came back after midnight there was a Swede sitting on the front porch wait- ing for some one he expected to come after 4 him with a wagon. Th n pitched into him, without ent cause other than tho inspiraf f bad whisky, and pounded him up | pretty well. It was not until he heard | this row with the Swede that young | o | Lowis got up and dressed himself. Ho tirst picked up a bottle to defend himself with, but then happening to hink that there was a harness-makers’ knife there | which Fagan had to cut his corns with, he got that instead, and_ armed with this he went back to bed again, On entering the room Fagan and his companion be gan their attack, striking him twice in the chest and pulling him out of bed, and it was in this scuffle that he plunged the knife into Fagan's heart, killing him. With these witnesses to show the threats on lewing the room the first time and their quarrelsome disposition and drunken condition on returning two hours later, young Lewis expects to make out the strongest sort of a case of self-defense. He feels particularly grateful to his Marne iriends, When the bail was fixed Juglge Cole, as his counsel, tried to get it uced from 87,600 to £5,000, and ex- pressed doubt of the ability to furnish even that amount, but the Marne friends of the young man spoke up promptly and said $7,600 was none too high, and if 210,000 was wanted or even more, they would furnish it, and the fact that the signers of the bond promptly qualitied i the sum of $40,000 showed that the; meant it and were able to furnish the required amount, whilo others stood ready to swell the list if needed. Young Lewis says that not only that mark of confidence, but the kindly reception given him when he stopped over at Marne was apprecited only as practical sympathy shown to a man in the deepest trouble can be appre ciated, He also desired that the public shall know exactly of the manner in which W. R, Vaughan, who was in Des Moines, worked in his beh: He says Mr. Vaughan did everyhing possible to help him, and to get the truth of the mtter before the public, and to prevent the vatural prejudice which arises quickly been placed in the best possible condi- tion, tlhu grounds made ready, the stalis and sheds put in shape, and many who are to exhibit farm machinery are already at work getting everything in readiness. The fast horses will arrive to-day and to- morrow, and from now on there will be lively times at the driving park. A man named Hannon was brought here yesterday from Avo i and placed in jail to await the meeting of the district court, the charge being assault with in- tent to do great bodily injury ‘ Hannon wis here about the 4th, and served a fow duys for assault, and then swore ven ;feuncu on those who had been arrested. t appears that when he got a little full of fighting whisky the other day he a’- tompted to carry theso threats into exe- cution, and driwing a kmife rushed on his enemies, who were too much for him, threw him down, got his knife away, and now he is locked up again A boy named Wilson was arrested yes- terday morning on the charge of vagrancy, but was discharged. Young Wilson was hanging around here some months ago, and served a term of fifteen days for stealing o revolver. After that he was arrested for vagrancy, but broke out of the calaboose, and has since kept away feom hero until lately. He convinced the ‘i‘udgo estorday that ho had been at work in_Des Moines, where his peoplo live, until the coal miners got on a strike, when he left and came here. He had been at work in a restaurant here, and was going yesterday to Dunlap to work in a hotel, when he was arvested, the of- ficer not knowing that he had so thor- oughly reformed, as his provious record was bad, he having served a term in the reform school before his exploits here. Young Wilson did one valiant deed a fow days ago. A horse attached to a buggy in which were seated two ladies came was blankets were promptly used, and the damage confined & .68 4 Steps were tacen yeste to again place Sylvia Gardner, of this city, under treatment at the insane asylum at Mt.

He Has Accumulated Quite a Stock of Shirts, Sleeve Buttons and Albums, Thero has been captured at Harlan a young man giving his name as J. W. Dickey, who scems to have been running quite a career in that vicinity as a sneak thief, and a few nights ago, it is said, he attempted burglary. Mr. James Newby, living southeast of the town, heard some one at the front door, and discovered the fellow lighting matches and trying the lock. Failing in this the fellow then tried the back door, which has two glass panels, and as he there lighted matches also his features were clearly scen. Mr. Newby in getting his gun alarmed the burglarious fellow, who skipped. Ho was tracked the next morn- ing to an adjoining school house. It seems that the fellow had carried off bread and raspberries from Mr. Newby's cellar before trying to enter the upper part of the house, and remnants of these were found in the school house, and some of the raspbe juice had stained his face. The ng thief denied every- thing, but was sent to jail for ten days, Since then his valise has been examined, and the fellows career traced back, and sundry charges lodged against him for larceny. J. W. Davis identified a coat, vest, watch and chain_ stolen last spring. Dave Mason identified a night shirt. J. W. Mosby also two shirts. Besides MBER 8, 1883, L BLUFFS, J. N.

Inquiry of the city plan of paying is about as follows: The council transfers from the police fund about 8600 a month to meet old general fund warrants, and the only recent gen- eral fund warrants which are paid in cash are those which are so indicated on their face. and which call for cash, in ac- cordance with the contractsmade, Some Lubor is paid for in these cash warrants, aud some purchases are made and con. tracts entered into on a cash basis, and on which cash has to be paid, These and theso only ure paid for in cash warrants, The other general fund warrants have to take their regular course und as fast as the sinking fund creeps up to them they aro to b paid. By continually aud sys- tematically paying off the old warrants the credit of the city is not only gaining and the general warrants advancing but the time is approuching when the city ‘fl._n‘ be in shape to pay cash for all its ills, —— Notice, 1 hereby announce myself to the voters of Pottawottamie county as au independ- ent candidate for county surveyor.
