It began to unfold itself at @ o'clock in th morning and at nightfall was still wagging. A. M. Dyer, of the Western Printing com pany, took cherge of a valuable Newfound- land dog belonging to H. J. Pickering, last April. The dog is valued at $130, and Mr. Pickering brought him from Chicago and placed him in charge of Mr. Ayer. The dog was decorated with a valuable collar aud after being in Mr.” Dyer's possession for a short time, escaped; ho was caught and_es- aped again in July, sines which time Mr. has been unable to find him, A few ago & bookkeoper in the employ of Mr. Pickering saw tho dog in Jumes alkner's saloon near the corner of Fifteenth and Dodge strects, and informed Mr. Pickering. Mr. Dyer went to the saloon, recognized the dog aud swore out_a writof replevin. The dog is claimed by Falkuer. The evidence of a dozen witnesses on both sides_established the fact that Falkner owned a dog of the sume description as Mr. Dyer's dog, that he went astray about the same time as did Mr. Dyer's dog. The dog in Falkner's possession followed him to the house and was chained up. When Mr. Dyer went to sce the dog he gave_cvery evidence of joyful recog- nition. At 5 o'cloek last evening while the case was being still argued, it was discoverdd that some one had sworn out a writ of re- pievin in another court and that constable Sullivan had _captared the dog. The attor- ney for Mr. Dyer wanted the court to swear out an attachment, which was refused, the court contending that if the dog had been re- plevined by Falkner while it was under poud he could be arrested for perjury. Ham ilton & Homan acted as _attorneys for the plaintiff, and K. A. L. Dick for the defend- ant. Tle case promises to be a long-winded one, and not soon settled. A Suspicious Draft, On the 9th of this month a man registered at the Arcade hotel as C. C. Moflit, and was givenroom 51, He represented himself to be the selling agent of Fred Haalk, a heavy cat- tle dealer of Davenport, Ia. Yesterday morning he eame to Mr. Cascy, oue of the proprictors of the hotel, and tendered a draft on a South Omaha firm for §5 from Fred Haak, i1 parment of his board bill of §15, re. questing the balanco in cash. Mr, Casey, doubting the genuineness of the signature, took the draft to the Omaha Natioual bank, who sent it to their South Omaha branch for acceptance by the firm on whom it was drawn. Mot became uneasy, and Mr. Casey asked him to tolegraph Haal' at Davenport, asking him to guarantee the draft, as tho casicst way for him out of the serape. Mofit wrote out @ telegram which was so ambig: uous as to bo uscless, und Mossrs, Casey & Campbell, of the Arcade, telegraphed Haak themselvés. Pending Haalk's reply, whose cxistence is doubted, Moffit was arrested, and the charge of suspicious character en: tered against his name at the police station. Peycke Bros. for Jurvis bluckberry s il Parks on the Avenue. The improvements now in progress on Capitol avenue will make that thoroughfare a beautiful oue near the high school grounds. The avenue is being paved to Twenticth street, at a width of seventy-two feet. West of Eighteenth street the parking system in vogue in many of the larger cities will be introduced. At the intersection of Nine- teenth street there will be a circular plot sodded aud planted with flowers, Between senth and Nineteenth an Nineteenth and Twentietn streets there will be two arcas, = fashioned into parks two 'feet wido and extonding the length of the block with rounded ends. These will be provided with fountains, trecs and seats where, during the heat of the day or in the evening, people may refresh or rest themselves. The roadway on either side of these parks will be twenty feet wide, giving ample room for two large vehicles 10 pass in opposite directions. The cost of this improve- ment is to be borne by the property holders and will be as much as if the avenue were to be proved in the old style. A Colorado Sanitarinm.

A fow of the more cous rushed forward to wrest the blade from the assailant when a desperate struggleensued. Mr. Trice stopped up belund Edwards, and throwing his arms around him jerked hum away. At the same instaut the dagger was sticking in tue back of Edwards' wife, and as the husband was pulled away, the blade. still in_his grasp, was jerked out and a str n of blood followed it, In the midst of the struggle Officer P. C. Foley rushed in, and holding a revolver in Edwards’ face, ordered him to throw up his hands or he would shoot him. Up w he blood stained hands, and the fearful blade recking with gore, was taken from him Meanwhile the' stabbed woman, a ratl attractive mulatto, fell in a faint, weak from 10ss of blood and seemingly conscious of the fact that the wounds that she received were mortal, Eight times had the powerful arm of her husband been raised and eight timos the glittering blade sunk into her defense- less hody he was carricd up to the first floor and Drs.

The dagger with which the attack was made was taken to_the police beadquarters and turned over to the chief, It has & biade eight inches long, has a double edge and sharp point, No weapon could have done more effective service than this fearful one, Shortly after the arrest, a reporter visi the spot where the stabbed woman la dying. and from the crowd of friends who nid gathered about gleaned something con- cerning the events that led up to the attack Mrs. Edwards was talkings with M Trice 1 the basemcnt of the restaurant. when Kdwards entered lookinz very much agitated.

Wednesday night Edwards brother-in-law came to him_and told him that he had seen Edward’s wife and Terrell walking togetner on Sixteenth street.

MARRIED AN INDIAN MAIDEN, A Wealthy Briton Ensnared By & Sioux Squaw’s Love. Staxnive Rock Acescy, D, T., Oct. 13 Last week a small party of eastern gentle- men, who were scouring this section of country on a hunting and ple tion, lost thoir bearings and wandered to the agency, where the Indiuns gave thew the in formation in regard to their route. The tourists decided to remain a few days at the agency to pick up information regarding the Sioux, over whosa reserves they intended to shoot. Oneof the company, Henry Ash burton, son of n wealthy manufacturer of Leeds, England, at once took a deep mterost in the strange every-day life of the abor izines, and was quite enchanted with his romantic surroundings. While preparing dinner in their tent the first day after their arrival a daughter of one of the leading chiefs enterod, approached the astonishod young Briton, threw her arms around his neck and repeatedly coversd his faco with Kkisses. Though considerably surprised, young man mado no attempt to with the girl's strange behavior, seemed to be well pleascd with tne perform ance, and when she ceased showering kisses he in turn caught her up in his arms with an uffectionate hug and kiss, His companions gazed upon the scene with unfeigned amaze ment, The girl accepted his attentions Soon after an interpreter dropped in and he was informed of the remarkable proceedings. He told the travelers that the wirl had un doubtedly taken a liking to their companion, and in wecordance with the Sioux luws he must be her brave should she demand him The others remonstrated, but the young man was only too habpy to abide by that law and make the pretty youns squaw his bride at a moment's notico. The pleadings and expos tulations of lis compauions had no effect upon the young man, and the murriwe cere: mony was perf i this morning uccording to the Indians' strange fashion. The con tract is considered by the Tudians as being legal and bindg, " but it is thought the foolish young Englishman will soon tire of his Indian bride, and make himself scarce in this region. ———— SENATOR STANFORD HOME, The Californi Views on the Polit- ical Outlook. 6w Yok, Oct. 18, Special Telegram to Tue Bre) —Senator Lelund Stanford ar- rived from Kurope to-day on the fnman steamer City of New Y He scemod to be in robust health when I spoke to him on the camer’s deck and said he never felt better in his life. “I went to Europe in v, he said, “and svent the most my time at Kissengen in an to build up my health.
