The Council Bluffs croquet_club met with a crushing defeat at Shelby Thursday, losing two games out of three. They speak very highly of the flattering reception tendered them by the citizens of Shelby, and hope 8001 to have an opportunity to repay it. Yesterday morning's session of police court was decidedly tame, only two shaky boozers appearing for the judge's cousideration. They were each held up for $5.10, and then turned loose to run the gauntlet of the nu- merous holes-in-the-wall in this probibition (1) city. A slight blaze at Brownold's restaurant, 808 Broadway, called out the fire department about, ofclock last evening. The fi was caused by carclessness in filling th tank of a gasoline stove, and was e tinguished by the use of & couple of bucl of water, before the arrival of the depart- ment. Officer Fowler, with his usual courage and presence of mind on_such occasions, caught @a runaway horse on Mynsterstreet Thursday evening. The frightened animal was at- tached to a buggy in which were seated Cap- tain O. M. Brown of the local *‘Q" ticket office, and daughter. The horse was fast re- ducing the vehicle to kindling wood when the efficient ‘‘cop” gathered him in. Roy, the thirteen-year-old son of P. M. Campbell, was thrown from a horse while riding in the vicinity of the transfer Thurs- day afternoon and severely bruised. He was out on u short pleasure excursion, when the animal became f 4 at a passing tramn. The rider was dragged quite a distance be- fore he could free himseif. A passing team took him to his home, ner of Fourth nue and Eighteenth stree The Manawa Gun club has finished its serios of five weekly shoots and has now be- gun to shoot for the season’s prizes. The scores of the members in the other shoots are all kept, and_the marksmen are divided into classes uccording to their percentage.

Onc of the other two classes will hold its shoot next Thursday afternoon. The creditors of Harmon Bros., of the Hotel Manawa, have held several meetings since the failure of this firm and have at length decided to take the hotel as it is, with its furniture, and try to make from it the amount of the debts, ‘which, if done, will re- sult in the release of the debtor, otherwise lhey pronose to hold him for the defluuncy Keller was selected as trustee and Meurl, L M. Treynor, J. J. Fearon and George Meschendorf, committes of manage- ment. These gentlemen visited the lake yesterday afternoon to see what arrange- ments can be made for opening the hotel at once and rununing the remainder of the sea- son. A lady with three children, en route from Chicago to Denver, arrived at the transfer Thursday evening, She had purchased a scalper’s ticket at the former city and it was not transferable. The conductor requested her signature, which did not correspond with that on the ticket, and he took it up. She had to pawn her diamond ring with the con- ductor to get to this city where, after some delay and telegraphing to friends, she re- ceived & remittance sufficient to take her to Denver. This is but one of many instances that come to the knowledge of railroad men on the through lines between this city and Chicago, and the traveling public is advised to look out for scalper’s tickets. —— E.

Interest in the Fairmount park case is re- viving, as 1t is being carried to the higher courts, Yesterday several papers were filed with the clerk of the district court, bearing on the case. John E.

For years past 1t has been the habit of cer- tain persons who were interested in the mat- ter of morai reform, among whom are Mr. A. Overton and Rev. Heury De Long, to hold open air meetings upon the street corners, These were mainly held Sunday afternoons when many persons were abroad who seldom or never find their way to the churches. These meetings wore orderly and whether any good was accomplished or not surely noevil resulted. Some time ago these gentlemen were notified by the “powers that be'’ that the unday afternoon exercises had to be dispensed with. No adequate reason was assigned for the order, but it has been strictly complied with One evening, not long a_certain col- red orator of the democratic faith visited Council Bluffs. It was on a week day even- ing, when hundreds of people were abroad pursuing their ordinary business. A box was placed upon the sidewalk on Pearl street to serve as a stand for the speaker, and here he held forth for a couple of ho A large crowd collected: the sidewalk and street were blockaded, and there was no effort to enforce the “clear the sidewalk" rule.

Railroad etaployes in the various yards of the city profess to feel greatly relieved at the thought that school will begin again in a couple of weeks. The reason assigned for this is that there is an astonishing number of youngsters who haunt the yards, day after day, and jump on meving trains to ride back and forth, and miraculous escapes from horrible deaths are of daily occurrence. The boys seem to think it a very smart thin do, and do ot seem to understand that their lives are in constant danger. A liberal use of the paternal rod is what is needed, and the attention of indifferent parents is called to this fact. ————— A list of fifty vacant dwellings for rent can be obtained at office of B, H, Sheafe & Co., corner Broadway and Muin streets, up stairs, s s ot For bnrgllnl 1 real estate see E.

New York Mercury: ‘“This is the San Marcus river, scnor, and there are the anons whe the cave men lived, said tho Mexican Indian guide, point- ing to a narrow cleft in the mountain at a little distance. “Well, we will investigate the old ruins, Jose,” replied Ernest Seyton, as he threw himself wearily down by the little camp fire. ‘‘Manana, senor?” “Yes, to-morrow. Why not?” notic- ing the shuddering tonesin which the question had been voiced. “It 18 the home of bats, of great hairy spiders, of worms with stings, of creep- ing things with a hundred feet, of akes whose bite is death.” “Vampire bats, tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes and rattlesnakes? A goodly array of horrors. Is that all, Jose.” “Spirits are there, senor. The shad- ows of the dead of a thousand years are flitting around,” and the guide crossed himselt vigorou “Ghosts! Have them?” *‘No, senor, and the holy saints keep me from doing so. ‘‘Have you never been iy the old cave houses, Jose?” ‘‘Never, never, senorl” was answered with intense excitement. “Then how do you know they are in- habited as you say?” “’I’hom who dared to go have told me, senor.” “Many who went never came back,” said the guide, warningly. *‘Likely,” was the careless response, “but are there not human dwellers in the deserted houses?” Jose started as if one of the serpents he so much feared was near. The idea that men or women would trust them- selves in such a locality was more than horrible to his superstitious mind. “No, no, senor, not one,” and the subject being distasteful, he hastened away to attend to his camp dutie Nothing worse than the ba coyotes disturbed theslumber of Seyton, and early 1 the morning he started upon his explorations. In vain, how- ever, he attempted to induce Jose to accompany him., He was forced to go alone, leaving the half Mexican mourn- ing for him as one he would never see ug:tin, cursing him for his foolishness, and praying in the same breath for his safety. Far more than birds, beasts, creeping things or ghosts Peyton feared he might chance upon some of the robbers who infested the mountain: But, though penetrating deeply in the once homes of the unknown dead, he saw nothing to seriously alarm him. Bats, however, flew out from dark and noi- some chambers in countless numbers; spiders hurried away, and now and dmn he heard the warning rattle of a snake. “If ghosts seek you ever seen any of ich companionship,” he laughed grimly have a poor opinion of their taste. Hark! He had paused in front of a low open- ing. dark as midnight and reaching he knew not where. The sound he had heard was a wnge, weird and wailing one. Kneeling, he endeavored but vainly to pie the gloom. He could distinguish the rustling wings, the seraping of horny, scaled serpents ove the rocky floor, the gurgling of wate beneath his feet, but none of these ac- counted for the unusual sound. He listened, trembling with painful excitement. There was no way to solve the mystery except by penetrating its depths, and death stood ready to meet him in many forms. Again and again he tried to find some clue w the un- earthly noise, but the more he thought the more he was puzzled. A hundred suggestions came to his mind, but none was satisfactory, and looking well to his weapons he crept into the dark pas- sage upon as uncertain and dangerous a quest as ever a man ventured upon. It was a situation where eyes were useless, strength of little avail and the highest courage might well have fal- tered. His ears were deafened by the whirling of wings, his flesh crept as great, hair; spld\!rs crawled over his unprotected flesh,as ** womm with stings with a hundred feet,” touched him, and his heart almost ceased beating when the mesmeric eyes of aserpent flashed in his path and the angry hiss vas mag- nifiedinto a rattling thunder. Fortunately the distance was not very great——was but the connection between chambers—and when hope of life was about dying out light came, and a few minutes later he was able to stand erect and had left the terrors behind. Then the sound—he could not decide what it was—came more distinetly to his ears, and after regaining his breath h hurried forward, and at last he locate the cause of his anxiety, dashed for- ward, unknowing what dan, eru he might meet, how soon be ealles n to defend his life, and was .u denly brought face to face with a sight that thrifigd him with horror! He had emerged upon a narrow, bro- keu platform jutung out lrom the top~ most story of ono of the highest of the cave dwellers’ homes. Looking down he could see the river foaming through the bottom of the rocky canyon. nundreds of feet below, and clinging midway was a girl, while beneath, fran- | tie with terror and anxiety, stood an old man, with his hands raised to heaven in prayerful supplication. “Father, 'm failing!” was shricked in agony from the white lips of the girl. “God in heaven, save my beloved, my all,” was the answered imploration. Save her? Seyton understood the situation at a glunce. She had ven- tured too far, the footing had crumbled beneath her, she had in falling clutched a narrow sill, and it was simply a ques- tion of how long her strength would sustain her weight, how long before the slender fingers would loosen their clasp and she be crushed upon the sharp, ragged, cruel rocks at the bot- aven, for Jose and his reata!” roaned Seyton, distracted at his help- essness. He had discovered an opening much nearer than where he stood, dashed down, looked out. was still twenty feet distant, without the means of rescue, knew all he could do useless, Still he called out cheerily and encour- u;ul\gl\ “*Hold on and keep up your courage. I will save you. He would have done so could he have twisted his heart strings into a rope. That was impossible, He realized that he was utteri a lie, but the sweet, white, pleading fuce would have caused him a thousandfold more to risk the fu- w of his soul. *My strength is fast giving out. I— oh, Heavenly Father, I am falling! The stone crumbling beneath my finge > me, save me!” came in hoarse and trembling whispers to his He saw that her words were too true, saw fragment after fragment separate and fall, and his heart momentarily stood still and the blood in his veins curdled jily. “Hold on! Hold on!™ he fllumh-d “There must bo some way to save you. The echoes repeated the words mut- teringly, scemed to whispr them with hollow, moc rlaughter, the disturbed birds flappeda their wings and sereamed savagely around the head of the hope- less girl. From far below came the agoinizd voice of the father as he 1 0: dupward wit strained eyes. tore his h .rin despair and impotently called tor suceur, “Toolat 1”ca ne stealing as the breath of the dying .wind. ‘“Toolate. I can hold out'no longer. God ever bles: you fo: what you would have done, I well, father. We will meet in heaven.” Mad with excitement Seyton was climbing out of the window, determined to perish with her, when a stl'ung hand was laid upon his arm and in a tense, stained voice was breathed: “Senor, for- bear.” “Jose! save he The guide leaned out of the window as far as possible, skillfully coiled and dropped his reata over the head and be- low the arms of the girl, strained it and called upon Seyton to assist in hauling her up. It was a desperate undertaking. When feet and hands relaxed their hold it seemed as though half of the mountain side had given away. so groat the dust and rattling. And lhvu came a terrible fear to the watchers. Would the slender braided cord of rawhide hold the weight? Seyton saw it stretching, trembled with excitement and turned questioning eyes to Jose. He understood and answered: ‘It has held buffalo and wild horse, senor, has thrown and held many a bull. Why not now?” “All right, but carefully, carefully. See how she whirls around, how she bounds against the rocky wall.? Inch by inch the girl was drawn up. It was the work of but a few moments, yet as hours to the watchers, and when at last the strong arms of Seyton en- folded the form and lifted it within the walls he felt as if all the hero blood in his veins were leaping with joy. "A mighty shout of thanksgiving came from below. Seyton glanced swiftly downward, saw_ the fatner wave his hands wllv.lly and then fall. The reac- tion had been too much. Trial had not killed, but joy might, and Jose was dis- patched to look after him, Released from the reata the girl lay motionless and to all seeming dead. There was no tinge of blood upon cheeks, lips or throat. White and in- sensible she lay while Seyton hastened to pour a few drops from his flask into her mouth. It almost strangled, but re- vived her. Something of color re- turned, the black hair looked less like the wing of a raven resting upon new fallen snow, and the fluttering pulse gave assurance of life. Then the sweet brown eyes opened, the bosom rose and fell fitfully, a® length came sobs and gasps, the forces of youthful, healthy vigor asserted themselvesand she asked in faint, trembling accents: “My father?” “Ilu is being cared *for—will soon be here.” ‘*“Heaven be thanked!” “And you?" questioned Seyton with his heart in his eyes. you not suffering after theterrible trial through which you have passed?” “Terriblel Never shall T forget the sénsation, never the black gulf yawning beneath, the terrible death waiting for me. And to you, kind stranger, I owe my life,” and the little hand fluttered to his and lay passively for a time in the warm clasping. “God uu‘y knows how I suffered---how desperate I became when I saw how hopeless I was tosave. To my guide you are indebted for safety, but how he came is a mystery, as he refused to ac- company me.” “Agnes!” Supported by Jose, the old father had climbed the steps, stood upon the threshold and instantly his daughter was clasped to his heart, and Seyton be- came almost jealous of the kisses he re- ceived. Later he learned that they had come, like himself upon visit of exploration; that Jose, of being alone, had fol- lowed him, scen the desperate situation of the ul and, rising superior to his superstitious {eurs, had come in time to do the best possible service. Recover from excitement and nervee quieted, the little party decided to remain for a few days and enjoy the wonders around them---the structures erected by the uaknown race whose name is lost in the dust of long-buried centuries, The days stretched outinto weeks. There was so much to be seen; they were made so comfortable by Jose; 'iheir food so abundant from the rifle of Sey- ton; and the beauty of Agnes Leonard warmed every heart like red wine, The old man, attended by Jose, made exten- give explonn,luns' lenvlns the girl and Seyton to weave bright dreams for the future and build mdy castles whose ever, stone was fashioned, laid and cemente by love. Thun the hours slipp=d away, golden as the skies, and when the time of de- parture became imperative each thought of it with regret. On the morrow they would leave, and, the girl having ex- ressed n desire o yet once again visit r he nearly fatal spot,Seyton whispered: “No better time than now.
