O, 1 1. L. MILLER, arth Avenus | named Perdu. Additlonal dotails, as Council Biuffs, Towa. learned yesterday, wera to the effect that no one was seriously hurt, It scems that a man named Estes was the one who gave the dance, in what is known as “‘tar paper hall,” a building near the fatr grounds, in which one large room, used sometimes as a hall, is lined with the paper which gives the namo to the place. At a similar dance given a fow nights before, it s claimed that the man Perdu and his eon had a row with ono Tom Brown, in which Brown was badly thumped, and that on Wednesday night some of Brown's friends sought revenge on the Perdus, and this started the row that evening. Young Perdue was outside the house, and was getting badly pounded, when ho broke and got away, retreating into the house for a moment, and reap- pearing with his father, who nad a re- volver., S'ill Bates, who was in the crowd outside, had a club, and with this he threatened Perdu if he did not drop the gun. Instead of dropping it Perdu commenced shooting, firing two shots at Bates, the crowd ecattering, and Perdu and his son goiug back Into the house. It was thought that one of the balle hit Bates, but his friends yesterdoy de- nied that he was injured.” Sandowski says ho was mnot concerned in the war, but that ho and Mike Davy were roturn. ing home from the Northwestern round house, and as thoy neared that place they found the row in progress, and watched it for a while until the shooting com- menced, when they started away on tho run. One bullet whistled uncomfortably near him, but dld not hit him, but in running he fell down and struck his head on a stake, causing a slight flesh wound which he did not notice at first. His comrade thought the wound was cauand by one of tho bullets, but Sandowski did not think so. 'The wound was not a serious one anyway. The affair in its best light was a disgraceful one, and all good citizens aro naturally gotting heart- ily sick of such scenes, and the demand now is that these matters be not passed over so lightly asin the past, but that prompt, effective steps be taken to pun- ish thoee concerned, and in a manner which will be something of a warning to others, CHAS.

Her hair hung down in wild coufusion. She rushed back and forth like an insane person, wringing her hands and orying out incessantly: 0, save my husband! O, for God's sake, savo him!” This was Mrs. Hunt, who, separated from her husband in the tlames in spite of their desparato efforts to keop togother, believedjhim to have perished, totally unaware that he, savedin another cqually marvelous manner, was almost at tho samo Instant wild with grief for her supposed destruction.

Oh, my husband!"” until at last, caught and overpowored by numbere, she was forced to put on a pair of shoes which one of the men snatched from his feet, and was carrled into the Elm houee in a faint. But a moment later her young husband, escaping to the streot, stood on the farther side opposite the burning building with his eyes fixed upon the little room where ho had so lately left his wife, with a mute, pale fuce. Ho remained motionless, watching the fire leap up in that room; saw it burn- ing the hittle bureaw and burst at last out of the window in a dense, lurid sheet; and people wondered what made him stand there so still and white. Some- body got him at last into the Elm house, but” neither that night mor the hours which have since Intervened have been sufficient to efface from his mind the impression of horror ‘during the fow minutes which he stood watching the room where he believed his wife to bo burning. At the upper corner window a woman, who was afterward identified as Katie Gllmartin, had becn standing in her night dress screaming herself hoarso for many minutes. Sucdenly she was seen to climb upon the siil, and, despito the warning cries of those In the street be- low, to jump wildly out into the air. Some ot the bystanders turned away their heads, but the fascination of the horror kept most eyes riveted upon the swiftly descending figure, The body foll like leed, partly turning head downward in its course, and struck with a terrible force across the narrow iron bar at the bottom of the second story, which sup- ports an awnlog in the summer time. Her body doubled over this, quivered for an instant on the edge, and then top- pled in the street. Strange to say she was not dead whoh they picked her up, and though she has remained almost con- stantly since in a state of unconscious- ness, may yot recover from her terrible injuries. An instant later after her fall two others, with a dreadful cry of de- spair, leaped one aftor the other down through the forty odd foet of apace from the windows to the sidewalk, All cyes were now turned toward the window of the room in the fourth story next to that corner room from which the woman had jumped. A woman scream ing wildly for aid had been stavding there unobserved almost since tho first outery. She saw her two companions in the next room leap down at the riak of thelr lives, and still she leaned opt over the sill waving her bare arms frantically to - at- tract the attention of the powerless peo- ple in the street. Once or twice she had disappeared for o moment as though frantically trying to eacapo by the way of the stairs, but driven back at last by the flames and heat she got out of the win dow and hung by her hands from the aill From fnetant below her expected to ses her let go her siatency she beld on, first by one hand and then by the other, with all the ner- vous strength which comes to people in supreme momen 8, Thero are somo peo- ple say that this woman continued in this dreadful situation for fully five min- utes, but there are fow who can judge of the lapse of time in such emergencies Some of those in tho street were shout- mg for her to let go; others, were couraging her to hold on. ;When he sth was neatly exhausted help ar ed, and by the during and heroism of two oflicers she was saved Herbery Hutchivson’s escape was mar- velous, Said he: “With my teeth clinched, 1 plunged forward through the the skin from me as I went.
