The Noble Work of the Sisters—The Building Prospects—The Day in Court—The Clever Bille fardists—Personals. Few “Con" Men. Council Bluffs used to be a favorite resort for confidence men. The number of railways entering here, and the pe- culiar situation of the transfer depot, the trains also stopping at the local depots, made it easy for them to turn tricks and then be lost sight of, by dropping off the train, or hurrying over the river. Lately there have been few such tricks reported. The query was made yesterday of one who has for years been familiar with the workings of the gang, “‘where are they all?” **Well, most of them are in the pen. No, there are very few tricks being turned here now. There are very few con men cver scen here. There are two who now make headquarters here, and I guess they ave about the only ones left. “Are they doing any work!" ‘“Yes, they occasionally cateh a sucker here. They don’t work on the same class of suckers that they used to. It's a better cluss that they now go for, smarter fellows. They go, too, for larger amounts, and when they catch a sucker it is generally a sort of fellow Wl\,l)‘sl\bhulllt‘l] to say anything about “What is their game?” “It’s much like the old check or ex- press racket, only it is almost always government bonds or mining stock that they show up. The third man presents a note which has got to be paid, or some other claim, and the other fellow is of course short of currency, but has plenty of security in the form of bonds, or of mining stock, very valuable of course, and yot in his emergency he is willing to put it up as security for a small loan of currency with which to sumrf the importunate creditor. The sucker lends his new found friend and then that ends it. By the way, one of the old gang, Carroll, gets out to-day. He has been in Lincoln for a year and a half, There is another warrant out for him on an old trick, but by this time the witnesses are not to be had, and if he is arrested, as he probably will be, there can be nothing done with him. The days of the con men in this neck of the woods are about over.” —_—— A Snap. Splendid chance to go into the imple- ment business at Beatrice, Neb.

Merriam and Messrs. Allen & Bell, the architects, for plans of a new block to be erected upon the site of the old Catholic church. This fact was known to a representative of the BEE and when the arrangements were com- pleted yesterday he was on hand to se- cure particulars. The preliminaries are settled and Mr. Merriam has in- structed the architects erannrc plans for a combination store and office build- g to cost $60,000. The preliminary sketches will be drawn in a day or two and further details settled, but that this building will be evected as rapidly as workmen can proceed is a sclt]cg iact, The details of the Dr. Macrae block of flats, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Eighth street, are settled and plans are now being prepared. The flats will be eight or tenin number and costin the neighborhood of $40,000. Ground will be broken for this building as soon as the plans and sp ations are ready— probably in from four to six weeks. Sol Foster has also decided to build upon the corner of First avenue and Eighth street, and plans are already or- dered. This will be a four flat dwell- ing block and cost about $15,000. In addition to the above and the plans already noted in the BEE, there are at least thirty other dw either begun or about to be comme This does not include any prospective work but that actually in progress. The decision of Mr. Merriam to make the block above noted of this character throws additional points in favor of a new hotel on the present Pacific house site. These two locations were most in with the public and now evi should bend toward the one viz: the g object, hotel. A gratu- ity of $25,000 stands - ready for the builder. There should be no delay. Begin the hotel at once and immediately, upon all sides new build- ings would spring up. That is the his- tory of all cities. Broadway.would then be & metropolitan thoroughfare instead of what it is.

Another victim of msplaced conli- dence was received at St. Bernurd's hospital Monday afternoon. The girl, for she is but fiftecn years of age, ar- rived in this eity last Thursday and went to the Revece house, where sho stopped over night. Her condition was apparent to every one, and one of the proprietors, being unwilling that she should remnin there, took her to the house of Mrs. Boyd, on upper Hroad- way. From there she went to Mrs, Bennett’s in the northern pari of the city, and then to the hoepital, where she now is. A BEE representative called there yosterday afternoon and from the girl herself, learned as much i of hev story us she was willing to tell, | She gave her name as Ilmma Houston und her nge as but u few months over filvzen years, Her birthplace she did nos knew, sod claimsd to be an orphan, her Rfiw‘nh having died when she was but tive years old. She said that she cathe here from Irvington. Neb., where she had lived on a farm for a long time. She did not know how long she had been there but knew that it was several years. She came away without the knowledge of anyone there, and does not want them to know where she 1s. When the re- porter inquired the name of the family with whom she lived she said, “What are you asking me all these questions for? 1 haven't done anything wrong.” The scribe assured her that he was positive she told the truth, and merely wanted to satisfy his inordinate curi- osity. She still irmly refused to give the party’s name, or any information as to the identity of the author of her mis- fortune. She said that she had but one friend in the city, and that was a_col- ored woman by the name of Mrs. Buck- ner. The girl is quite intelligeut, very well developed for her age, and would read- il 88 for eighteen years old. She w¥l\p§c well cared for by the Sisters of Mercy at the hospital, and they will tr; to find her a suitable home. Althoug! the wardsof the hosplital are in a crowded condition the Sisters could not turn her away, a8 it is evident that she will be confined in a very short time. There are now four of these cases there, and all charity patients. The na- ture of the work being done there should bespeak for it the assistance of all the charitably inclined citizens of this city. The present accommodations are alto- gether inadequate for the amount of work to be done, and the sisters are al- refildy planning for the erection of suit- able buildings which will permit them to carry on more extensively their noble work of relieving the sick and unfor- tunate. It is their intention to also have an industrial school and home for or- phans, in which homeless and friendless waifs may receive training that will prevent them from following in the foot- steps of the unfortunate girl who has just been given a temporary home there. These sorrow-stricken outeasts”inyari- ably find in the ranks of the sisterhood the sympathy and compuassion that is harshly refused them in the outer world, and by this means many are reclaimed from the depths to which they have fallen. it is easier to preserve virtue than to reclaim vice, and it is hoped that the sisters may soon be able to fulfili their intention in regard to building, and car- ing for the young, healthy and virtuous as well as for the sick and infirnr. g nior vy F.

LR 7 TERRY'S TEXAS RANGERS. Interesting Story of a Man Who is Full of Lead. DARING DEEDS IN WAR TIME, The Only Instance on Record When Lassoes Were Used-How Seve eral Men Surrendered to One Daring Ranger. St. Louis Correspondence: In room 99 at the Southern yesterday after- noon sat & man with & career as thrilling as any of the dime novel heroes which stir the youthful heart. Major George Barnard Zimpleman, the lead- ing spirit of Terry's famous Texas rangers, was the man. He was sitting in a large cushioned chair, his right foot resting on a pillow and his left arm lying limp at his side. Of medium stature, but heavy frame, still he main- tains a slightly aldermanic rotundity, and his jolly, round face, beaming eyes and grizzled mustache form a striking picture of combined firmness of charac- ter and flexibility and gentleness of nature. Confinement to his room is the result of a periodical weakness to his right leg and left arm, the former hav- ing been the receptacle of three bullets and the latter two during the late *‘un- pleasantness.” In addition to the five wounds enumerated, Major Zimpleman has had a bullet through each lung and two flesh wounds, one in the thigh and one in the calf of the left leg—nine in all. He is now in his fifty-fourth year and carrles hislead as lightly asany man of equal age. Major Zimpleman, who is now a resi- dent of Austin, has large interests at El Paso. with extensive cattle ranges in Texas, New and Old Mexico, and is a dirvector in the El Paso National bank. He has been a resident of Texas for over ars. “Zimpleman went with rangers at the breaking out of ar,” said Colonel Davis, ““He was ys popular, owing to his good , magnetism, daring and dash. always in the front line of the had dozens of hair-breadth s to-day with nine wounds to remind him of his younger days. After the war he returned to Travis county and was elected sheriff, when perhaps no other man in the state could have been ele The survivors of Terry’s rangers, or thee Eighth Texas cavalry, will hold a reunion at Austin, Tuesday, January 2¢. About one hundred of the original charge, escapes, and liv 1,000 joining Terry’s regiment at the outset will be there, and Majc mple- man’s eyes brightened in anticipation of meeting with his old comrades. This famous regiment was the flower of the confederate avmy. /Tt was composed of the wealthiest young planters of the state, and none but large, muscular, men wobe accepted; and were always a dozen rve- 8 following the rangers. waiting for some one to be shot in ovder that they might getinto the ranks. Thus were the saddles of this daring cavalry regiment kept filled for nearly two years, notwithstanding the desperate fights in which they were en- gaged, mowing their men down like grass, Colonel Terry was six feet two inches in height, and a -perfect speci- men of manhood. He was a brother of State’s Attorney Dave Terry of Califor- nia, who killed Broderick in a duel near Sacramento in 185 The first fight in which the rangers were en- gaged was at Woodsonville, sixty miles above Bowling en, on the Louisville & Nashville railroad. The engagement was with Michigan truuls)s, and it was here that Terry was killed. The battle is known as the Green river fight. As Major Zimpleman was there, and at the front, he can best tell the story of the fight. “Ithink it bad taste for me to sit here and relate my own exploits,” pro- tested the major. 1 wns & young man then, and did many rash things, possi bly, but I wouldn't like to have any im- putation of blowing my own horn put upon me at this late day.” It was only after much insisting, sec- onded by the gallant Colonel Davis, that the major was prevailed upon to talk. “The fight at Woodsonville was our first,” he proceeded. *‘Our regiment was brought up to drive in the federal pickets. We drove them in and before we knew it ran right against a line of federal infantry on the side of a strip of timber, and that more tyan we had bargained for, re was but one thing to do and we dia it—went right through them and were seon pretty well mixed up. You see the trouble was, a great many ot us knew nothing about warfare with orgadized troops. True, | had been an Indian fighter, but this w new to me. The federals, however, were more surprised at our apparent daring than we were at finding their solid lines wh o least expocted it. and thus we carried the day against great odds. All the boys went out with a peculiar notion,”’ and here the major smiled grimly. *‘They snid there was nouse of wasting powder on the *““Yan- kees,” we'd just lasso 'em and every one of us had his rope for that purpose. I must confess 1 a little dubious about that, and away down in my heart didn’t believe one of us could ‘lick ten Yankees’ by any means, but I was de- termined to do us much as the others did, and made up my mind to rope a *Yankee’ before any one else had time to. During our mixed-up scramble with the federal infantry I saw one fellow, a picket. ahout two hundred yards ahead of the line,and quick asa flash I thought, ‘Here's my chance, if ever,”and I started for him. It was a toss-up whether I would lasso him or he would kill me be- fore I could get within rope-range, and besides, I was between the federal main line and him. As I turned and dashed toward my man I think not less than a thousand shot were fired at me, but 1 was not hit, my laséo shot through the air,and I had my man fast, with the rope under an arm and over the other shoulder, where it did not hurt him, In shooting at me his own friends had broken an arm for him, so I got him toa log and he, at my direction, mounted behind me, and then his friends ceased firing. Iknew we were riding pre fast for a double burden, jumping ditches, logs and all obstructions, but when my prisoner fell oft T thought he did it purposely, and asked him what he meant by jumping off. 41 didn’t jump off. I fell off. Per haps you don't know that my arm is broken, and besides I never saw such horseback riding a3 this, let alone try- ing it myself.’ %I then placed my prisoner in the saddle and got up behind myself, and we soon had another trial to encounter, for my friends, seeing my horse coming in with a bluecoat astride of him, con- cluded to give him a round. 1 stuck my head around my vis-a-vis and shouted to go slow, and there was great merriment when we dismounted. "I beligve that was: the only man ever lassped during the war. We had discovered shat pow- der was better than rope in our fivet ex- perience in orgsni. ‘d worfare. My prisoner was a nice fellow, a perfect gentleman, and when he came and usked me if T couldn’t fix it so_that he could fio back north I told him he should go, and he did. I have heard from and written him twice since the war, but not in recent years, and do not know what has become of him. He is the man who first gave to the people of the north their ideas of what wonderful nerve the Texas rangers were. He was duly im- pressed with the desperate work we did thatday, principally due to the fact.as I have siid, that we honestly thought all we had to do was to lasso the Yankees and drag 'em into camp. There were innumerable ludicrous as well as seri- ous incidents after that engagement. We waited until a detachment of our men came in_from the crossroad, and they reported having had to fight to reach us, We had scarcely time to form in irregular line when the California rangers charged us. We stood our ground until they were within twenty to thirty steps of us, when they fived, and then we charged them, and went right through their two solid lines in the rear. They were ten to our one, and I never want to see such bloody work again. The name of the “‘Texas rangers” was a power to us, and we killed as many as our command num- bered and captured twice as many more. After the bloody fight we were badly scattered, but I found my chum and side companion—we who always fought side by side when we could—with me. He has since served on the district bench in my state, a moral, upright man and a_devout church member. [ will call him John. We rode on to- gether until we saw the line of federal infan in an open field, when John said better halt or those fellows would take us in. We had with us four prisoners, whom we had disarmed and kept ahead of us. Just as we halted I caeght a glimpse of two federal valrymen about one hun- dred yards distant, and telling John to keep an eye on the four men we had, I started out to overhaul these two. I met them at the pointof a clump of timber, as T had figured to do, but i i y amazement when nine in- of two men confronted me. I knew T couldn’t run and get away alive, so0 I determined to make a g bluff. With the most ferocious yell T could muster, I let fly with both hands at once and emptied the saddles. then shouted, **Come on. boys, here they ave,” as though there were a dozen or so of my friends within calling. I then called to the dumbfounded federal surrender. “Drop your arms quic shouted. *If the boys catch you armed you're dead men.” They threw down their arms as ordered, and 1 told them to fall in twos, which they did. They looked in vain for my companions, and finally the truth began to dawn upon them. ‘*‘Have we surendered to one man?”’ suid a surly-looking fellow. “That’s what you have done,” I answered, ‘‘but it wasn’t your fault. Now you must obey orders, or you go two at a time. They were in front of me, unalarmed. ‘What could they do but obev? When we came to a fence they said their horses couldn’t jump it. Ilet fly with my gun over their heads, and those hor<es cleared the fence easily. I presun ver 100 of us will meet in Austin next Tuesday. We will have a glovious time, but we will fight no more.
