Some weeks ago Tony Herold, one of the pipemen of No. 3 hose carriage, was discharged, for cause, from the fire de- partment.

Both these oflicers requested and strongly solicited Mr. Grebe to follow and apprehend them. He consented and traversed Nebraska and Missouri and finally came np with and avrested them in Sarpy county. He searched them and their wagon and boxes, but could find no evidences of their guilt until, finally, boring into the barrel” of an old musket, he fished out twenty-four $10 hills. This was all th 1 left after having flooded the coun with national ~ “flimsy.” They w brought to trial and convicted. In his traveling, Mr. Grebe expended $215 of his own money. He immediately presented his bill to the government and had it refused because he wasnot an U. . officer, and consequently was not in the employ of the general government. Heinduced the first Nebraska congress- man, T fter the payment of the bill, in hington but * with no success. Every congressman from Taaft to Valentine has also worked upon it, but still Grebe’s money came not. One week nago, he wrote Senator Man- derson, and yesterday to the former congratulation, happy smiles and e ing patience, after fifteen years of wait- ing, he received a letter from United States Comptroler M.
