Lew Matthews, {he Slayer of Noonan in 1856, Stiil Alwe, His Whereabouts Known—FHe May Be Brought Back for Trial, Tnfor, Mation lately received in this city by a certy \in official revives an event in the history of Douglas county which took place at *“‘wh ercof the memory of man runnoth not & * the contrary.” In the spring Of 1856, only two years aftor Nobraska h 8d been made a territory, .-, was thought by some to have boea most atr. ycious, was committed about four miles non. n(: thalittle village now called Forest City " it Sarpy °‘}“‘"‘)’v~' At that time “eqush or no“sl‘olg.nfiy ruled suprome in Nebewk. ™ The rights which a man could acquire DY Physical prssession were the Lighest He' oould ob- tain to land, When & squatter » " .' tract of land he wished to own he bu.' a mueder, whi opon it a small shanty and waited for), such a time as the government might see fit to give him a good and foct title, At the place above mentioned a great brawny and ignorant man named Lew Matthew squatted upon a fine piece of land, part of which was a bottom tract covered with a growth of timber, and the romaining a fine stretch of rolling prairie. Matthews built a house upon the uplands ‘but had left no evidence that he intend- | od to possess the bottom, One day Matthews discovered that a man named Noonan from this city had entered upon his bottom tract and built a log hut evidently intending to hold it under the law of squatter’s right. Mat- thews explained to him the feet that he was holding it under the same law, but Noonan refused to recognizoe his rights. The harch ond rigerous law of claim jumping was resorted to by Matthews. Those days the sentiment that a claim jumper's life was not worthy of being protected by law had grown into a cus- tom, and the old settler's say had been verified by several practical demonstra- tions. A written notice was served by Matthews upon Nonan warning him to leave the tract or suffer the pains and penalties of claim jumping. Noonan still staid upon the premises, and one night Matthews, a man known in thote days as “Ranger” Jones, a)man named Reves and several others went to the place to execute their sentence. They were meet at the door by Noonan. He was told he would be given a last chance, and when he refused to acceeds to their demands he was shot dead by Matthews. At this time Sarpy and Douglas were one county. The citizens in that vicin- ity of the murder brought the news to the authorities at Omaha. The death of Noonan, who was an Irishman, raised a great furore smong them. They started for Forest City with the firm deter- mination that Judge Lynch should hold a session of court, They were accom- panied by Joseph C. Reeves, then sheriff, who went with them for the pur- pose of arresting and protecting Matthews from the violence of the mob. When thoy arrived there they found him wait- ing for them, with his house strongly guarded by the neighbors. They were foiled in’ their attempt to make him atone for his act, and returned home without accomplishing their purpose. Reeves, who feared the mob, sent word if he wanted to be protected he should come to his house before day- light the following morning, which he did. Matthews was placed under arrest, charged with murder and kept in confinement until the next term of court. Sarpy in the mean time had become separated from Douglas. The prisoner was taken down to Be'levue, the countyseat of Sarpy county. Here he was confined in a small frame house converted into a jail and only a short time before his case was called broke out and was never seen af- terwards by the authorities. It was af- terward iearned that he had crossed the Missouri river on the ice and had nearly frozen to death in his wanderings. No very strenuous efforts were made to capture Matthews, but a constant watch has been kept up for him ever since. A very short time ago an official who lives in the city received a letter dated from a large city in a southern state, in which an offer was made to de- ltver up Matthews to the proper authori- ties in case a reward would be paid for his apprehension. The officer to whom the letter was sent, knowing that this county had no jurisdiction of the offense, turned the letter over to sheriff Spearman of Sarpy. It has not been determined as yet what will be done in the matter. 1t is said to be probable that an effort will be made to recapture him. His wife, who was a witness of the murder, is known to be in a smell city in Iowa, Several others ‘who were eye witnesses of the affaic can be obtained if needed, butitis thought that the circumstances attending the murder would render any action on the part of the state almost futile. o — A DRUNKEN BUM. He Makes Night Hideous With His Yeils and is Locked up in Jail, Yesterday morning about;12:30 people living in the vicinity of Sixteenth and Webster streets, were awakened from their slumbers by the yells and cursings of a drunken bum who is known by the name of Jim McGuire, McGulre and a man named Manix got Into a fight on Sixteenth street between Izard and Cum- ing streets, Officer Cormick, who is on Sixteenth street beat, came up and in trying to stop the fracas was set upon by both the men and had a regular rough and tumble fight with the two fellows until the arriva of Officer Whitmack, who is stationed on Cuming street. Manix was hustled off to jail and then the two officers attempted to take McGuire, They got him as far as the corner of Wehster street when he lay down upon the sidewalk and refused to go or be taken any farther, The oflicers dispatched a messenger for a wagon, and while ho was gone McGuire lay upon the sidewalk yelling at the top of his voice and using all the profane and obscene language known in the vo- cabulary, He also kicked right and loft aud succeeded anumber of times in kick- ing the officers quite severely, During all Wiis time the oflicers refrained from using @4y brutal means to subdue him. Nis cries awakened the neighbors for blodks around, and many of them got up aud doysed and hastened to the scene, oxpecting to see several men half dead, aud Wets considerably indignant when "\ FORGOTTEN NURDERER, they found ouly a drunken man, He was loaded into a wagon and taken to jail and this morning was sentenced to ten days on bread and water. it is time that some of thoese fellows got a dose of somo kind to teach them that to be kicked by all the old vagrants and Len bums in town whenever it be- druns M comes nocess Ty to arrest them for viola: tion of the law. Few poltceme™ Wouia have stood the abuse and punishment in willing to walk along peaceably. HARVEST the policemen of Omaha are not footballs flicted McGuiro as did Cormick and Whitmack.

Right Local Moncpolies Nursed by the U, P, - Sidney's Rapia Growth— General [tems, Special Correspondence to Tie Bek, Sioxey, Nen,, Oct. 2.—71he political cauldron is beginning to boil now that the various calls have been made by the pri- maries by the republicans and dgmocrate for the purpose of electing delegates to the representative and county conven- tion. Among those mentioned upon the republican side for representative are ex- postmaster John W, Hars and a so-called “Doctor” Wirrett, Nelther of theso men haye any ¢lalma upon the party, especial- ly the former, who has sold out his busi iness interests here and intends residing shortly in the eastern part of the state. Dame Rumor has it, however, that he will got the nomination and that Wir- rott will get badly left in the convention which meets on the 15th inst. The democrats have uniteda upon John M. Adams, & very popular young mun who Is identified a2 one of the large oattle men of western Nebraska. Mr. Adams will make it very interesting for his opponent. For county commtesioner the present in- cumbent, Hon, Noritz Urbach, will no doubt receive the hearty support of both partiea. He is a very conscientions and upright eitizen, and has shown his ability to discharge his honorable trust. Minor other offices will be filled, so that togeth- er with the national ticket, Cheyenne county will have an exciting campaign. The Blaine and Logan club, consisting of fifty members, is progressing mnicely. The Cleveland and Hendricks elub is about on equal footing, and they keep gathering strength as the campaign rolls on. Hon. Wm, Neville addressed the latter club a week ago. He is a very eloquent speaker and handles his ques- tions carefully. His denouncement of the Kelth county school land frauds, and his scathing rebuke to Dawes, Roggen & Co., elicited hearty and frequent ap- plause, Mr. Neville will no doubt get coll covered to appeat m to answer for aswa murder 1B SURGEON'S STATEMEN Mr. Collins was taken to | Guyton, j callod in \} roporter called Hao said We can nevor tell a head hurts, I n‘muhl Iv Mr vary badly injured —may 1 1.¥\ o .v|-{»rw| that he do nc for a week, side of his head, and his face is all beaten up, The bridge of his noss appears to ta broken, The doctor then went on to state, in emphatio \ago, what he thought of the cowardly waylaying ot & manat his own door when ac companied by his wife.

W. K. Dorsey to bea rampant monopolist. The Third congressional diatrict is nearly four times larger than either of the other two, there being thirty-five counties, and lots of ground must be covered to make a thor- ough canvass. Dorsey is likely to give Sidney the *'go by,” as he has not yet fixed any date for appearing here. The 21st Infantry band has been prac- ticing many campaign airs lately and they are always ready for an engagement from either party to help the good cause along. The land excitoment continues una- bated and each day brings in a new sup- ply of pilgrims. Major Clarkson of Schuyler floats around with the air of a bloated monopolist, and can talk land to your hearts content. The prospects of the town were never better. The merchants have their hands full to ssy their sales have increased 25 per cent. over last year. A great many buildings are in process of erection and carpenters had to be imported here from Cheyenne and Denver. Our amia- ble county clerk, 1. I. McIntosh, has built a lovely additior to his residence nd helps to beautify the surrounding dwellings. He is always making im- provements and his offorts are appre- ciated. Tom Kane is erecting a fine stone house on his ranch, six miles west of town. Morltz Urbach has also con- tracted for the building of a water dam on his ranche near Bronson Siding, and will be able to flood hisland for many miles. At the coming election the people will vote $25,000 bonds to build a court house. It isvery essential to have the bonds carry, as the old rickety building now occupied won t last much longer, as it 1s rapidly falling to pieces. One of the glgantic monopoliris of this section is A. T. Clark, who runs a gene- ral .store at Coots Clarke. Its an open secret that the Unlon Pacific Railway discriminates in freight with him, and gives him a 30 cent rate to Sidney. He has injured Sidney very much, and it is time for Tur Ber to ventilate this ne- farious work, Another thing Clark does is to prepay his freight in Omaha, s0 as to conceal the fact of this “little special favor of the U, P, Railway.” PERSONAL, M. M. Coad left for an extensive trip on the Pacific coast. Vic Bierbower, the gentleman from Sioux, has left this camp, and is now looking up a location in the far west. G.

The custom in Utah has been simply to apply the law to petit juries not to graud juries and ical effect has been to present the it for polygamy. ——— OONVINUING, The proof of the pudding is not in chewiny the string, but in having an opportunit tog test the articlo direct, Schroter & Becht the Druggists, have a freo trial bottle of Dr. Bo- sunko's Cough and Lung Syrup for each and evory one who is afflicted with Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Consumption or any Lung Affection From the New York Herald. e A GLIMPSE AT HUNGARY, Its fPicturesque Oapital—A Historic Spot by the Zagyra Briage, summer morning, writes a correspondent to the New York Times, with its broad white pavements ana smart houses of hewn stone, its leafy boulevards and brightly painted signs, and jingling tram- cars (which have first and second class compartments like their railway breth- ren), and the grand old Danube sweeping through the midst of it in all the fullness ol1ts might. But it loses much, like St. Petersburg, by its utter flatness and in- tensely modest aspect, and is, in fact, merely &n abridged copy of Vienna, Byt the older town of Buda, on the oppo- site bank, bullt along the crest of o steep, rocky height (up the side of which a charming little shady path winds through a bright green maze of trees and shrubs to the pretty public’ garden on the top) is un- doubtedly, as the tramp said of the model prison, its a nive place to spend a quiet day in as any gentleman could wsah." Little now remains,it s true, of the stern fortress from whouh ramparts the Keret- senyls and Karolyie of the sixteenth cen- tury waiched, with kindling eyes, the flash of Turkish steel and the flutter of Turkish banuers treading through roll- ing dust clouds along the surrounding hills, But memecries of war and blood- shed still gather around the gloomy pillar of bronze that stands on the highest point of the ridge inscribed with the names of the Austrian soldiers who fell here in the fatal struggle of 1840, Modern though it is however, tho Hun. garian capital is & pleasant sight, if only for the universal prevalence of that grand old Magyar tongue which is now triumph- ant where it was lately outlawed, I could wish, however, that & German * transla. tion were occasionally appended for the benefit of the outer barbarians who know not Petofi and Jokai.

Not till 10 at night do we finally reacn Szolnok, and after being attacked by two rival hotel runners, who seem in- clined to ropeat Solomon's judgment by halving us between them, we find our- solyes rumbling along a dark road be- tween two shadowy files of trees, lurch- ing and pitching to and fro as if we wero at sen. On, on, on we go, catching at at times a passing glimpse of white houses glimmering spectrally through the surrounding gloom, At length we sweep round a corner into a wide, desolate markot place, and pull up suddenly in ront of a long, low, straggling building. At sunrise next morning wo are awakened by a clamer of voices outside our opened and uncurtained wix- dow, and I jumped out of bed and find myself face to facewith about a Lundred market-women who have amplo leisure to take stock of my apparance while I struggle with the Gordian kuot into which the cord of vur premsative blind has un- happily twisted itself. market place is now buzzing like a hiye, and containg not a fow groups which would be fnvaluable to a painter.

There a stripping young | farmer, in a felt wide-awake and a brand new vost glittering with bullet shaped metal buttons, is making open¥ lovef{to a pretty girl in a short blue skirt with a fat goose under her arm, who, by her mischevious smile and her frequent pointing from him to the bird, appears to be drawing a tren- chant orical parrellel between the two. Further on, a buxom markot- woman, whose ruddy face it framed in a smart yellow kerchief, the ends of which hang down her back like drooping flags, dilating volubly upon the merits of the piece of colored calico which she is holding temptingly before the eyes of a hesitating customer. See how eagerly these two children, whose bare brown arms are fully displayed by their sleeve- less frocke, are eyeing the piled-up sweet- meats of yonder stall. And here comes a woman who has adopted the fashion of divided skirts, but which is really a slim, smooth-faced lad from the plains, in the loose white drawers of the Hungarian csikos (herdsman). The first glimpse of Szolnok, which lies on alow clayey peninsula at the junction of the Theiss and the Zagyva, suflices to show that we are passing from the east of Europe. The broad, straight, unpaved streets, the enormous ditches that flank them, bridged with charitable planks here and there, the all-prevailing dust and flies, the quaint, half Oriental costumes, the muddy river with its rude wooden bridges, the “corduroyed” road through the swamps outside the town, the happy-go-lucky arrangement of the houses—which look like raw recruits vainly trying to form In line—would all be quite at home in any country land- scape of Roumania or southern Russia. But, primitive as it the quiet little town has won wn imperishable name in Hungarian history, and no one need wonder why who has read the full de- tails of the splendid tragedy so briefly summed up on the monument beside the Zagyva bridge: ‘‘In memory of the heroes who were slain at Szolnok for the freedom of their fatherland on the 5th March, 1849, e e A maidon can hurt a masher more by aking faces” at him than she can by club- bing him with her parasol. | —— 5 ANTI-MONOFPOLiISES, ATTENTION!
