Evidently the Beckees family are unae- quainted with the blossings of a harmoni- ous dwelling together, for the malemem- bers seldom meet without creating a smal d war. It has been so ever since they resided in these parts, especi- ally between the brothers and brothe in-law. Some vears ago one of the lat- ter, named Ka had a eutting serape with Will Beckees, and the result was that the latter had to spend two years in the penitentiary. The condemned elaims to this day that it was Kaiser who did the cutting, and that his own father, mothe sisters and brothers perjured themselves to send him to Lincoln. ~Yesterday Dan Beckees met ns brother Will near Kup- pec’s meat market, on South Sixth street and an encounter ensued, in which the latter was badly worsted.

They e bound for Lead- lle, and about every one of them had a musical instrument. ‘There was apoar- ently more music than bread in the crowd, and certainly more artistic skill with fingers and lungs than cleanliness.

He is the “Lay- ender” fiend, He has a semi-powdered preparation put up in envelopes which is warranted to kill moths and keep them out of trunks and packages of clothing. Fish are plenty and he does a rushing business. His preparation on examina- tion proves to be nothing but finely ground hay which is sprinkled with lav- ender perfume to give it the regulation swell.
