A Stranger Strangely Killed, Atan early hour yesterdny morning the mangied body of a man was found lying near the Broadway crossing of the Northwestern railway. He had evidently been struck by some passing train or en- gine, and after being dragged for some distance had been tossed to one side. His body had been cut mn two and the re- mains were in a horrible condition. Coroner Faul was summoned and an inqaest was held, bat it resulted in thro ing but Nittle light upon the details of the man’s death, From papers found on his person it appears that his name wasJ. B. Irwin, and that his business was that of selling putent rights. There were several Jetters, from which 1t appears that he had lived for some years in Plum Hollow, in Fremont county. He appeared to be thirty or more years of age, dark com- plexioned, and was ordinarily dressed. A few dollurs in money were found on his person. oroner sent telegrams to Thomas Gra who appears to be a [ n, and to Henry Webb, of Madison, Neb., who secms from letters to be also a relative. The railway men knew nothing of the occurrence until the discovery of the body by Conrad Raser, which was about daylight. Inquicty about the city gave no light as to the” probabiiities even of how the man came to be there Some recognized the man as one they had seen here, but beyond that little could be learned. —_—— Sce the new Satin Corset at ilarkness Brothers’, ‘The little Jersey Corset found at Hark- negs Brothers', e Anxious To Be Cow Boys, The police about 3 o’'clock yester- day morning found three young fellows, aged about nineteen, roaming the streets, and arrested them on suspicion. They gave their names as Fred Crouse, Otto Brown and Henry Hill. Two of them had revolvers and the other a knife. On being brought into court yesterday morning they ex- plained that they were country boys, who had a great burning desire to go west and become cow boys. They met at Missouri Valley, and together came here intending to go west and grow up with wide brimmed hats on their heads, and revolvers on their sides, and Indian ponies between their legs. They meant no harm, and were sorry for it. Judge Aylesworth asked them 1f they had been to school. Yes, they had. “Have you ever read very much?’ ‘es, I've read a good deal. I've read every ome of the dime novels up to No 872." I huve only just sturted on No. 378"’ After thus getting at the fountain source of inspira- tion which had led the lads to seek for hfe on the pluins, he gave them a little of his helpful advice. The boys begged to be let off. They were willing to give up the notion of going west, and would look ubout and get some work in Council Bluffs. *No,” remonstrated the judge, you wouldn't be of any account here. o one would want 'you. You have aimed high. You want to roam ofer the plains as gay and festive cowboys. You are so eager for such a life that )'uu could not waitto get out there before buying your revolvers, and I suppose if you could have got your road hats and Indian ~ ponies in Missouri Valley you'd have supplied yourselves with them also before you started. The best thing for you to do is to go right on and get there as soon as possible. You won’t be worth much until you have tried it. You had better fiel there, and commence working back ome from that end, It's the quickest wx:;’ home for you. You'll not be satis- fied until you try it. A few days in the saddle will show you a big difterence be- tween fiction and friction. No, don’t stop here to form any good resolutions, or turn back, Keep right on until you see all there you want to of a broad-brim hat, a revolver and a pony, and then you can tune your voices to sing ‘Home Sweet Home' with some feeling.” s Qur large stock of Carpets and dry oods is now arriving and being placed n store, From this date we shall be pleased to meet our friends and custo- mers both day or evening at the old stand, No. 401 Brondway.

An- derson, a well known Danish farmer living m Hazel Dell, His little child, aged about two years, wandered from the house, and searched being made he was at last found about a mile and a half from the house, drowned in a little creek mto which he bhad fallen. The sorrow stricken father wasin the city yesterday afternoon, getting a casket, in which to place the little form so suddenly bereft of life. It was pitiful to see the strong man so bowed down with the heavy weight of sorrow so suddenly put upon him. 100 cords W.C. e For acre property, residences and busi- ness property call on W, C.

D., a cousin of Mrs. Dr, Hanchett, has just returned from Chicago, where she has spent several years in Hahnemann college and hos- pital, and from which she recently grad- uated. The BEE is much pleased to learn from Dr. Hanchett that Dr. Smith and himself have formed a partnership, with offices in Dr. Hanchett's old rooms, which, by the way, huve been fitted up recqnfi_y. making them the most con- venient, complete and beautiful suite of offices occupied by any physician in the city. One of the greatest needs of Coun- cil’Bluffs has loufi been a ftirst class lady physician, one who could win and hold the confidence and esteem of the publie, by u thorough education, and by the possession of those womanly instints so rare in the female doctor, and yet so necessary to her success. In Dr. ‘Smith all these conditions are met, and they in- sure for her here a brilliant and success- ful future. She 18 by no means a stranger here, but the circle of friends'up will rapidly widen, now that she takes up her permanent residence. <o A Forced to Reform. A hearty country boy named Walker, whose home is in Rockford township, was yesterday taken to the reform school on the reduest of lus father, who says he cannot mansge the boy any longer. The boy has caused his folks much trouble by running away from home and not stay- ing rum, and when at home by helping himself to property belonging to neighe bors. As a last resort his friends have urged the reform school. Judge Ayles- worth 1ssued the necessary papers yes- | terday, and the boy was turned over to the sneriff. Perhaps if he had been turned over earlier, and in a difterent way, it mught have been better for him aud saved im from the present trouble. —— Call and see the stock of horses and mules at Star Stables before purchasing elsewhere. - ——— _Star sale stables for mules and heavy draft horses, T S— But He Got There, Detroit Free Pres: A city hall official was standing on the Woodward avenue steps of that structure yesterday when a man who had his hands on his stomach came up and said: ‘“Beg pardon, but f a_vhysician—an h, I'm no doctor,” for that, but per- yot can give me some information, What are the symptoms of poisoning?” you been puimncn'?"
