They gave their ages as 11, 9 and 7 years, The little fellows seemed intelligent, honest boys, who had been more used to the farm than the city. They told a very straight for- ward story to theeftectthat their ho me vas in Rawlins, Wyo. Their father died ars ago, and the following year other followed him. They were f by their uncle, who oc- cupied the house which belonged to their father. After a time he secured for them a home with a woman, living about fif- teen miles from Kansas City. This woman was a school teacher, and the uncle was to iy $5 a month for caring for the boys. When school closed she told the boys that she should nnt keep them any longer, and the supposition is that the uncle did not pay for their care as he vromised to. The woman started the boys out, refusing to longer shelter them. They started out without money or friends, ana worked their way to St. Joseph easily, simply taking the train and the kindly hearted conductors letting them ride. They got out at St. Joe and walked for quite a distance, past several stations, getting sleep wherever they could ard begging food. They then got on a train and were allowed to come here.

RAPID SALE OF LANGTRY TICKETS Hotel Manawa Still in Court—Con- stable Fox Keats the County— The Chautauqua—Death of Mrs. Judge Reed, Beginning tho Bridge Work. What about the bridge? The monotony of the qnestion, and the silence which followed, is broken by the announcement that the work 1s to commence at once. The contractors for the sub-structure, Hopkins & Scully of St. Lows, are the largest and most responsible of any in this line in the whole country. Their machinery and ap- pliances for the work are very expensiv They have refused at least one big con- tract, while waiting for the work here to :d, and now their conlidence in rise is confirmed by their being 'rs to commence 1n accordance with their contract. The following tele- gram was received from them yesterday Dy the chicf engineer of the bridge com- hany. P Louts, July 2, 1857, Frank Moore, Chief Engineer: In compliance with tele- gram from your company we will ship plant for substructure ot your bridge at once. We congratulate Mana vans for his energy in overcoming o many obstacles, and 18si- ingso early an order for starting the work. Hopkins & Scully. The plant is expected to arrive now at any dme. It wil be shipped t to Omaha viest work is to be on s com- first. ~ All doubts about the bridge are now removed, and the acrual work of construction will soon be visible 5 of those of little fuith. It is believed that the work of the substructure will be completed re the 1st of Jan- 'y, and the ent bridge will be done o 1st of May next. The contractors forfeit §100 a day for every day beyond that time, There e been some doubts about the '»:ning of Broadway. While the council hias been doubting a little about the bridge being started, the bridge folks have been indulging in about the same amount of doubt about the council or- ng the paving of Broadway to the .~ The council has been telling the bridge company to commence their work and then thy would commence pav- ing. The bridge folks have been urging the city council to commence paving, and that they would by that time com- mence the work on the bridge. The council has become satistied that the i going right ahead, and so have ed Broadway paved to the river. The advertiscments will soon be made for bids, and it is claimed that when the street is in condition for paving the work can be done in sixty days. There is no doubt but that the paving will be all in before the bridge is ready to be used. There was much jubilancy here yester- day among those who learned of the telegram given abe While there ha been general confidence that the bridge would be built, yet there was a great anxiety to know that the work was under way. Tlie decision on the bridge question was not re ved until the 5th of July. After its receint there were some legal points on which opinions had to be ob- tained, in order to be sure they were right before going ahead; there were modifications to be made in the contracts and considerable planning and figuring to be done, and yet with only about three wecks having passed the order goes forth for the contractors to commence work, and the shipment of material begins. Those who have been grumbling about the slowness of the bridge company must feel a little ashamed now. —— Rush for Langtry Tickets. The announcement that Langtry is to be at the opera house Friday night caused a rush for tickets, the like of which has not been seen in this city since the opera house was completed. The sale began at 9 o’clock yesterday morn- g at Bushnell’s, and although at half past eight there were only four district teleg -u‘)’h boys and two or three citizens waiting, before the hour was struck the line reached the full length of the store, and out into Pearl street. They kept com- g and the line was kept to a good length for much of the forenoon. Some who bought tickets had a chance to speculate a little by disposing of their tickets at & slight advance to those who did not want to stand and wait their turn. The pros: pect is that the opera house will be crowded to its full capacity. There is great curiosity felt to see this remarka- ble woman, this being the first opportun- ity atforded many of the residents of this city, she never having been here before. A fow seats are still left, but all of the more desirable ones are already taken. — - The Hotel Troubles. The case of Long vs Clark, in regard to the appointment of a receiver for the Hotel Manawa was argued yesterday at- ternoon. The financiai showing was a cu- rious one and to the effect that the hotel was built without any capital to speak of, and while the receipts have apparently been very large, yet the debts have not apparently diminished, The tangleis a bad one, but it is hoped by all that some arrangement may speedily be made by which the hotel may be properly con- ducted. It is needed at the luke, and tne demand for a good hotel, well hanaled, will doubtless be soon met. While the furniture and fixtures were being taken out of the hotel by those L I R oy () the ems to have been a general raid. It 18 said that some of the waiters, who had not been paid for thirty days, tricd to get even by taking such loose proverty as came to their hund, Others having claims against Clark took what they got hold of tirst. It is claimed that about $100 worth of silverware disap- peared, and the whereabouts cannot be ascertained. Clark had three suits of clothes which he can find no trace of, and the supposition is thatin the rush for assets some one carried these off. Mr. Clark was as smiling as ever yes- terday. He seemeda confident that ar- rangements would be completed in a day or two by which the hotel would be run- ning in better shape than ever. He is of a sunguine make-up and sees no clouds, e DL Fox Wins His Suit. Colonel John Fox has been serving as special constable in & number of cases, but the county board concluded to cut down the bill for fees. His claim amounted to about $41, and the board only allowed him $13. Ho commenced suit in the supreme court, and after the taking of much evidence, and the mak- ing of long arguments, a decision was reached yestorday afternoon. Judge Aylesworth rendered a judgment in the favor of the constable for §22. This with the $18 admitted by the county board brings his allowance up to within a few dollars of the total claim, Judge Ayles- worth ruled that the justice must give a written authority for a epecial constable to serve warrants, or perform other service, This written authority was not given in the serving of some subpaenas, and hence the fees for this service were disallowed by the court. There was also $3 for tele- frnphing which tae court did not allow n the judgment, Under the ruling in this case it will be necessary for a justice to give the constable a written order to serve papers if the special constable ex- pecta to collect his fees from the . county. The similar case of Justice Schurz against the county for fees has been con- tinued until Monday. — A Chautauqua Under Way, The preliminary work of establishing a Chautaugua assembly in Council Bluffs has been begun. The organization has been perfected, oflicers selected for the ensuing ye s of incorpor: tion drawn up. The question of a 1 tion is being considered now. Two sites are being discussed. One is near Parks’ mill, the other at ndale. There are over one hundred acres in each, and that is about the quantity of ground needed. It is the intention to enclose and im- prove the grounds this fall and to hold the first assembly next summer. There are many to whom the details of these assemblies are wholly unknown. Hence there is some difficulty in awakening the interest which the magnitude of the en- terprise merits, The start has been made by some of the most prominent and in- fluential eitizens, and they enter upon it with so much enthusiasm’that the com- munity at large will speedily be awak- ened to the realization of its 1mportance and benefits, The purpose of the assem- bly 18 to instruct and entertain along the line of morals, literature, science and art. Instructors, lecturers, musicians, artists, ete., will be secured, and during the a: sembly each day will have special attrac- tions, and each evening there will be some meritorious entertanment. It 1s the intention to muke but nominal charg- for the privileges of the grounds, that all ean e v afford to attend, to meet_expenses individual mites gath- udes of people. It i confidently predicted that there will be drawn te this city the very first assembly 50,000 persons. E sive grounds are needed, so that ¢ attending can be accommodated with tenting and_boarding privileges, 1f they desire. A large ampitheater is to be built, with a capacity of 10,000 people, and several smaller balls and buildings will needs be erected for the classes and for various purposes. The ussemblies in other places are proving very success- ful and enjoyable. Notably so at Crete, Neb.,where an assembly has been held for ten days, and there was on no day less than 10,000 people in attendance. A letter from Ottawa, Kan,, states that the ute receints alone at the assembly there this year amounted to $12,000. With the wonderful advantages atforded by this city, the extensive network of railways, ‘suitabla and picturesque grounds, with two great cities from which to draw for support, 1t seems that the assembly here will prove a wonderful success. 1t will help the community morally, intellectually and financially. The subscriptions for stock will now be in, and it 15 believed that th enterpri 11 m erous support. ered are within easy r city, and a motor line will be doubtless built to them, as soon as the suceess of the en- terprise becomes apparent. g S S Death of Mrs. Judge Reed, The announcement of the death of Mrs. J. R. Reed, whose husband is one of the supreme bench of the state, will come to most as no surprise. She has been a great sufferer for nu 0 cancer having tal on her, and gradually sapping her day by day. She has been attended by the most skillful physicians, and most tenderly cared for, but all hout avail, She suffered at times terribly, and the surely approaching end was o deep and continual shadow upon the home where such tender and loving relationships existed. So long and so greatly had she suffered, and without hope, that death was almost a relief. She w conscious to the last, and passed away surrounded by her friends and rela- tivy She ~was a woman who as greatly beloved by those who had the pleasure of association with her. Her life had for years been necessarily more retired than that of others, but throughout the community there has always been maintained an active inter- est in her condition, and the tenderest sympathy has been felt and expressed for her, “This sympathy now is doubly revived and centered on the worthy hus- band, upon whom the blow comes with r weight. Judge Reed came to v with his wife shortly after the close of the war in which he took so gal- lant a part. He practiced law until placed upon the distriet beneh, and then promoted to the supreme bench. No couple in thig city have been more esteemed, and there is general sorrow that the tender ties between the devoted pair have been so broken. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o’clock from the family residence, No. 407 Glen avenue. e WOLF BOYS. Fine Specimen of One Who Found in India. Chambers’ Journal: In the wild glens through which the river Gumti rushes down into the Gauges, wolves are still common, and they frequently carry off children of the town and 1ges. The Hindus are withheld by superstition fiom killing these animals within the precints of their own habitations, for they believe that a village 1n_ which even a drop of wolf’s blood has been shed is doomed to destruction by fire und sword, The con- scquence is that, in spite of the rewards oftered by the government for the heads of these animals many victims are sull year after year devoured by wolves in India. Ia the town of Sultanpore there was shown a boy, who in his hdbits and general appearance borethe most wonder- ful re! nce to a wolf. He had been found crawling on all fours, in the com- pany of & wolf and her three cubs, which bad come down to the river to drink. Since his ecapture he made repeated attempts to escape. Cooked meat he rejected with gestures of loathng~ and_ abhorrence; but when he was offered raw meat he de- voured it with avidity, He would allow dogs to share his meal, but if approached by human beings at such a time he would grow! in a threatening m: When he saw children he would rus them, The lad was subsequently received into the house of Captain Nichollette, of the First Oude Infantry regiment. Under the kindly care of this gentleman he lost some of his ferocity, and was broke his habit of biting. He also lear eat cooked food, though he still continued to prefer raw meat. He was very fond of bones, which he could crunch like a dog, When food was given to him, he would run up to it on all fours and devour it greedily, pulling it about and tearing it in a wolf like fashion, His voracity was ull but unappeasable. He would eat half a lamb at a wmeal, wash 1t down vast quantity of butter- milk, and then swallow some clay and small stones, Children of his own age he would have nothing to do with; his favorite playfellows were a small pariah dog and some jackals. These animals had to be shot, as they helped themselves too freely to the food which had been rlaced for the boy. Their death did not, however, seem to give him concern, clothes he could not endure, and he im- patiently tore them off, even in the se- verest weather, A mattress stuffed with cotton wus given Yim to slecp on, but he tore 1t up and swallowed the cotton with his bread. He never spoke a word till a few minutes before his aeath, which took place i his twelfth year, after a short iliness. Just as he was about to breathe his_last some reminiscence of his early childhood seemed to come back to him. He put his hgnd to his head, said that it burt bum, asked for water and then died.
