A Serious Termination to a Hunting Expedition, Yesterday afternoon John Langer, a man who has been living for some time on lower Division strect, was ordered by Dr. Morguar to the St. Joseph hospital. His feet had been terribly frozen a few weeks ago, the flesh had mortified and dropped off, leaving the poor man a help- less cripple, probably for life. The story antecedent to his sufferings is somewhat peculiar. It seems that Langer has for a long time been In des- titute circumatances. Four or five weeks ago starvation stared him in the face, and his family were almost totally with- out the necessaries of life. He determin- ed to do something to procure food. Shouldering his gun, he started out on & hunting expedition and scught to bring down some game. In the course of his wanderings, it was that extremely cold Saturday night about four waeks ago, he came across an fsland on the lake whero he determined to stop for the night, build a fire and go to sleep. It turned out however, that the island was a marshy plot and the froezing water was soon dashing around hia fest. Before he could get to land Langers feet were ter- ribly frozen through and through, He reached home as beat he could and since that night has been very sick. _The acci- dent will maim him for life. His family in very destitute circumstances. RSEY’S DISAPPEARANCE. A Vexed Question of Accidental Drowning or Burreptitious Flight, Some time ago, it be remembered, a young man named Alonzo Dorsey sud- denly disappeared from his home in North Omaha, He was Lt seen with s companion at Florence Lake and it was supposed after nothing was heard of him for several days, that he had been acci- dently drowned in the lake. Since his disappearance he has not been heard from. The matter is being quietly in- vestigated, however, and a satisfactory solution of the mystery is looked for at an estly day. It Is now the theory of the detectives that Dorsay has gone to New Orleans. It haa been discovered upon investigation that a plan had been formed among cer- tain of Dorsey's associates and friends to rig up boat and make a trip to New Orleans, after truo piratical fashion, abandoning all conventionalities of clvilizatlon, and living the life of the *‘wild and careless sailor boy.” It appears that the expedition really started out, 4w ®P3:04 it is but fair to_suppose that Dorsey tuay have boen one of the number. Why ho should have loft his friends and rela- tivo in this olty in such secret and sur- replitious manner, does not appear. Tho cluols a firm one, and is being carefully N Enticea From Her Home, The Grand Island papers tell of the stealthy and effsctual manner in which a nctorious den of fomsles was broken up last Fridsy night by the chiof of police of that clty. Among the three inmates was & Miss Bates, who 1s a young girl but fifteen years of age, and who has been liviog up to » fow months ago with her rolatives in this city. She was arrested by the Grand [sland police and held for non-payment of fine. It appears that some timo ago the Bates girl was entloed away from her home in this city by a woman who calls herself Parkhurst, and who Is & notorious character well known to the police of this city under various aliases. An eftort will be made to bring the girl back to her parents and reclaim her, if possible, from life of ignominy. P!

Miller and McNally to Meet in the Ring Prof, A prize fight is now being arranged be- tween Prof. Miller, the well known pugilist of this clty, and McNally, of O'Neill. McNally will be remembered a8 the gentleman of pugilistic proclivities who so thoroughly did up O. H. Smith a few days ago at O'Neill. McNally is regarded by all members of the sporting fraternity as a first class man,.and his backers are anxious to match him with Miller, believing that he will be able to stand up well. The details so far as consummated are for hard gloves, and fight to a finlsh with the prize ring rules for $260 a slde, the battle to take place either at O’'Neil or Omaha. It is expected that in a day or twoall the ar- rangements will be complated. McNally is a plucky handler of the gloves, and can make matters Interesting for Miller. The Omaha sports are some- what nettled at the result of the Smith- McNally contest, and declare themselves ready to back Omahs, should the contest come off, to an extent unlicited. ——— The Wcst Po nt Creamery. A Bek reporter, in the course of his rambles last night, came across a gentle- man who lives in West Point, Nebraska, He gave some interesting facts with re- gard to the creamery and butter company located in that place, for which a receiver was recantly appointed. It seems that the corporation has always been in sound condition. Its stock has at all times have well but for the failure of K D, Brown, recently connected with a bank of Middleton, N, Y. Mr. Brown was leading stockholder in the creamery, and when his affuiira became desperate- ly involved, he assigned his stock to a broker. Poole, of Chicago. As soon as Brown's flnancial embarrassment chattel mortgage for certain moneys be- longing to the state funds, which were in their possession, In this way it was hoped to stave off disaster. Poole be- came frightened at this atep, and applied for a receiver, who was appointed re- cently in the United States court, The concern is now in good financial shape, and will soon be ready, it is thought, to resume operations on the former scale, The necesslty for the recelver no longer exists, and the outlook for the company is decidedly bright. s Frank Burns Arrested, Yestorday afternoon Frank Burns, the man who was convicted of & mur- derous assault against Billy Willard, and ordered out of town, in default of §1,000 bonds, was arrested again, He was seen walking along in a calm, lelsurely sort of manner, and when he was approached by the marshal, ho said that he had come back to obtain some olothes which he had left behind him in his hyrry to leave town.

I advised with him continually, and, at his request, neglected every other busi- ness to devote my whole attention to this matter. Tho idea was, by furnishing Mrs. Fair's counsel with the evldence which would enabls her toerustain her complaint, to induce her toconsent to accepting $3,000,000 or thereabouts, which was awarded to her in the decree in lion of her share in the community property. 1 want you to distinotly underetand that thero was nothing in tho shapo of collusion, but 1 simply, at Mr. Fair's request, nacceeded in procuring two persons who wero willing to testify as to matters which had alroady vecurred. upon whoso testimony the divorce was granted.

Just think for your- self. Poor Dick eays that he advanced mo money. Now consider our relative ositlons, and then see the abeurdity of is making advances for me. The fact of the matter is Dick hasn’t got any money, and naturally enough, I sup- pose, he wants some, and that is about all there is of it. And thenm, again, what weuld I want bim to ad.ise me for? I had the best liwyers in the city engaged, and when I pay competent law- yers I am uoually in the habit of letting them do the advising. The action is stmply absurd,” “I understand, senator, that Mr. Dey accompanied you in your travels round the world?” “Yes; I was in poor health and I asked him to go with mo. In fact, he wanted to go, and I will say this for him, my hoalth rendered it necessary that 1 should have a great deal of attention,and he was really very kind and attentive, so that I am surprised to see the course he has taken,” TUTT’S PILLS 25 YEARS IN USE.
