SUNI THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Officer Autrey Appears to Have it in for Young Men with Gir! SHOT AT ANOTH:R ONE LAST NIGHT Young Man Was So Budly Frightened that He Couldn't Tell Whether tho Om- cers Had on Uniforms or Night Shirts. Timid young men who have girls down in the Fourth ward will do well to leave for home by 9 o'clock these nights or else trade girls with some braver fellow until Ofcer Autrey is transferred to some other beat, for he seems bent on exterminating them. 'A young man named Patterson was returning home along Fifth avenue at 3:30 o'clock yes- terday morning from a party at L. 0. Wil- Hams’ residence in the country: At the corner of Tenth street he was met by Officer Autrey and the Bayliss park spe- clal policeman, and Autrey asked him where he was going. He replicd that he was look- fng for a doctor and commenced edging away. Autrey called to him to stop, but Pat- terson broke Into a run, the officer following him with ‘a couple of shots from the same revolver which did such valiant service a few nights ago. The shooting so terrified Patter #on that he rushed in between two hou and secreted himself in a woodshed. Autrey felt a little delicate about going in after him and called to Officers Welr and Cousins, and the three then made a search, He was flually found, crouched down into as little space as possible, and pulled out feet foremost for an explanation. He told about the party and explained his actions satisfactorily to the of- ficers, who let him go. During the morning Patterson went back to the house where he had hidden and picked up a revolver, which he had secreted the When asked for his reason for dropping the weapon, he sald he didn't want the oficers, it ‘they were officers, to find him with the gun In his possession, for fear they would ar- rest i for carrying concealed weapons. “Didn’t you see the officers’ uniforms?"” some one asked him “No,” was the reply. “I was so badly frightened that I didn’t know whether they had on policemen’s uniforms or white night MIDSUMMER SALE.

Opposite Ogden House. Emanclpation Day Colebration, The celebration of emancipation day at Omaha park possessed one rather unique feature yesterday afternoon. It was under the auspices of the African Methodist church, and a program of addresses was rendered in one part of the grounds, while a little way off sat the larger part of the audience At tables eating watermelons. Colonel D. B. Dailey, Rev. George Muller and Dr. M. O. Ricketts of Omaha were the speech- makers of the occasion. Mr. Muller made a gpeech on his time honored subject of in- dustrial slavery, telling how the working classes were ground down under the heel of corporate tyranny. It was strongly tinc- tured with socialism, and covered the same ground as the gentieman has been cover- ing at his populist meetings for several ‘weeks past. At the close of his remarks Dr. Ricketts rose to make a reply. “Industrial slayery,” d he, “has nothing to do with the slavery of the colored race, and this is not the time nor place for a speech of the kind that has just been made. The colored man has no part In the warfare between labor and capital. I thank God that the consti- tution of the American Railway unfon pro- hibits colored men from its membership Tolls. Our race Is not composed of men who belong to labor unions and feels no interest in strikes and lockouts.”” The speech was delivered In a way that left no doubt that it was intended as a roast for Muller, and it created quite an impression, In his speech Colonel Dailey made some interesting remarks on the appropriateness of a church plenie having beer to drink, but they did not seem to have any appreclable effect on the enjoyment of the colored peo- ple at whom they were aimed. In the even- ing there was a big dance, at which fire works and fire water vied with one another in thelr attempts to please the audience. General James B. Weaver was expected 1o be present and make a bid for votes, but for some reason or other he failed to ma- terlalize. On and after August 1 we will sell groceries for cash only. J.

B. Dalley of Council Bluffs bears the distinction of having per- formed such a coup d' etat during the late war, and the circumstances are related in an exceedingly well written article in the August number of McClure's Magazine by Captain T. J. Mackey. As the article stands, however, it robs Colonel Dailey of all the credit which naturally belongs to the man who performed “The Bravest Deed of War,” as the headline of the article calls it, and gives it to one James Bailey, who has never heretofore béen heard of in these parts. It was In the month of August, 1864, when the union forces were encamped around Petersburg, Va., under®command of General ant, preparing to sweep down upon the confederates under General Lee and wipe them out of existence. By command of General Lee the conflict was brought to a focus by a general attack upon thes union force ehind their intrenchments. General Johnston Hagood was In command of the southern troops, which were assigned to the right of the attack. In the engagement shat ensued the issues were decidedly against the southern troops. The unjon forces were protected by almost impregnable intrenchments, in front of which was a deep ditch half full cf water. The confederates made a gallant attack, rushing on the intrenchments with an_ enthusiasm born of despair. General Hagood's eye could see that an assault under such circumstances wes hopeless and again and again he gave the command to halt, but the crash and rattle of fifteen pleces of artllery and 2,000 rifles, all at close range, drowned the scund of his voice. His men kept on their way toward thie parapet without breaking their alignment, determined to carry their posi- tion. Seeing his men bound to destruction and knowing that he was unable to stop them, General Hagocd determined to brave death with them. Success was their only hope of safety, and he was urging his army on to the attack as energetically as a few minutes before ho had been trying to call them back from annihilation, when a strange thing took place. The following is an extract from General Hagood's memcirs of the battle of Weldon Road: “General Hagood was with Major Wilds, who was cheering his men on to a renewed assault, when, looking to the right, he saw a mounted foderal officer among his men with a regimental color in his hands and a confusion and parleying around him that betokened approaching surrender. The fight was still raging at Hagood's right and left; there was no cessation on our part except in the squad just around this officer, and none whatever that was preceptible on the part of the ememy. They had pushed out from the right and left a line behind us to cut off our retreat and this officer (Captain Dailey of General Cut- ter's staff) had galloped out of a sally port, seized a color from the hands of its bear- er, and demanded a_surrender. Some officers and men surrendered, but were not carried in; others refused, but just around him ceased fighting. General Hagood called to the men to shoot him and fall back in retreat. They either did not hear him, or, bewildered by the sur- render of part of their number, failed to obey. It was a critical moment and de- manded instant and decided action. In a few minutes the disposition to surrender would have spread and the whole brigade have been lost. “Making his way across the intervening space as speedily as he could, exposed to a regular fire by file from the enemy’s line scarcely thirty yards off, and calling to his men to fall back, wiich they did not do, General Hagood approached the officer and demanded the colors, and that he should g0 back within his own lines, telling him he was free to do so. He commenced argu- ing the hopelessness of further struggle, and pointed out the line in our rear. Hagood cut him short and demanded a categorical reply—yes or no. Dailey .was a man of fine presence, with long, flowing beard, and sat with loosened rein upon a noble look- ing bay that stood with head and tail erect and flashing eye &and distended jnostrils, quivering in every limb with excitement, but not moving in his tracks. In reply to this abrupt demand the rider raised his head proudly, and decisively answered no! Upon the word General Hagood shot him through the body, and as he reeled from the saddle on one side, sprang into it from the other, Orderly Stoney seizing the flag from his falling hands. “There was no thought of surrender now; the yell from the brigade following the act and ringing out above the noise of battle told their commander that they were once more in hand, and would go now where- ever ordered—whether to the front or rear. Shouting to them to face about, Hagood led them at a run against the line in his rear, Stoney holding aloft in the front the captured flag, which he had torn from the staff. This line melted before our charge; but the fire was terrific, after breaking through it, until the shelter of the valley of the branch was reached. This ended the fighting for the possession of Weldon Road. The confederate losses had been very in- significant until today, and now it was con- fined principally to our brigade. Grant had lost 5,000 men, but he had the road.” After the storm of battle had subsided the bodies were cleared away, and that of the gal- lant young captain who had played so con- spicuous a part in the day's drama was r moved to the fleld hospital. For days and weeks he lingered between life and death, spending two days in the field hospital and two weeks in the City Point hospital, after which he was removed to a hospital in Phil- adelphia. Phete he remained until four months from the time he had received his bullet wound, when he was pronounced well enough to go back to the field of battle. Fifteen years later General Hagood learned for the first time that the bullet he had sent through the body of the man who had dared call upon a _regiment of South Carolinians to surrender, had not proved fatal. This hap- pencd through a letter he received from Colonel Dailey, as he is now known, describ- ing the circumstances attending their un- pleasant meeting at Weldon road so long be- fore, and requesting him to certify that the wound from which he had been suffering through all the years that intervened had been sustained while In the discharge of his duty. This letter was written August 1, 1879, and was answered ten days later. General Hagood sent the certificates asked for, and in the course of his letter said: *Your act was the bravest that I have ever known or read of in military annals. Nor was it an act of mere inconsiderate rashness, for, in my deliberate judgment, had I not inter- posed as I did, my entire brigade of veter- ans might have surrendered to your single arm." What purports to be a copy of the letter written by Colonel Dailey to the general is printed in full in the magazine article al- ready referred to, but it ‘s grossly inaccurate in several particulars. Its date is some five months later than it should be, it bears the signature of James Bailey instead of D. B. Dailey, and the latter's title is given as “Late Captain, Fourth Iswa Volunteer Infantry,” Instead of “Late Lieutenant Colonel, Sixth Wisconsin Volunteer infantry,” as it should be. As a matter of fact, there was not an lowa regiment in the Army of the Potomac when It fought at Weldon Road August 21, 1864, 8o that the title of ‘“captain of the Fourth Towa volunteers”, which is accorded Bailey, is a mistake on its face. When the magazine article first appeared a few days ago Colonel J. H. Keatley, supers intendent of the Soldiers' home at Marshall- town and an intimate friend of Colonel Dailey, called his attention to it and asked him for the necessary data in order that he might correct the wrong Impressions to which it would give rise. The fact that It was Dailey and no one else who took part in the sensational affair is attested by numerous historical works on the civil war, among others Moore's Rebellion Record, which ls | who the | MR e = = ( in the public Iibrary, ['Military Operations of General Beauregard)” by Alfred Roman, and in the official reports of both General Hagood of the confederate §¥y and General Warren of the union A It was at first suppoged that the magazine article was written with a view to robbing Colonel Dalley of same, of the honor he has been frequently awprdeyl for his part in the affalr. A little morg investigation, however, shows that (he letter,in which the credit of the capture of the flag Is taken by James Bailey must have been composed by Captain Mackey from memory, for If he had had the original manuserip( bofore him the mistukes could not have occlirred, 1t is only Justice to Colonel Dailey to set right the magazine wal'er, for all who are familiar with the history of the great re- bellion must admit that the spectacle of one man rushing out and overpowering a whole regiment, taking their colors away from them by a sheer exhibition of what in these later days would be called ‘‘nerve,' is a unique one. Whether it be considered an unne sary risk of Iife or not, one cannot help admiring the dauntless courage of the man undertook to put down the rebellion one roke and that a singlechanded one. The longer false reports are allowed to g0 uncorrec ed the more likely it Is that future generations will credit the deed to some other than he who deserves the credit, and no one wishes to tee a man who has always been a fighter, both in the forum and on the field, robbed of his just dues with ¥ MONDAY EVENING. anison Bros.’ Compliments to the Ladles of Council Bluffi—An Elegant Luce Handkerchief. evening, from 7 9:30, Ben- will give every lady who' calls beautiful one Monday to nison Bros. at their which beauty and store a will appreciate utility.

A change has been made in the offices of the Omaha & St. Louis railvay in this city, which does not at all suit some of the em- ployes. Beginning with the 1st of the month three of the clerks were put on half time and the rest allowed to work full time. As it happens, the three men who were cut down are marrfed and the rest are single, The cause for the move was said to be that the road was not on a paying basis and retrenchment was necessary. “As for the road not being on a paying basis,”” said one of the three married men whose Income was cut down to $35 per month in conversation with a Bee reporter, “there are other places where the retrenchment process might be commenced. For instance, there is the office of receiver. He gets $7,000 per annum, besilles $780 for the hire of a stenographer, for doing exactly the sume work that Frank Gault, as general manager, used to get $3,000 for, without any stenographer. I have just as much work to do as I had before the cut was made, and the only difference is that I can’t do it all in half time and It is piling up on me, so that It I ever get put back to full time I' have to work over!ime In order to catch up.

The United States of America fell down yesterday when it came to proving that Peter Stromsburg, the alleged counterfeiter from Pigeon postoffice, had passed bad money knowingly. One of the witnesses, W. Pfaff, a saloon keeper, was put upon the stand and it was supposed that he would tell how Stromsburg took back a counterfeit dollar that he had put up for a drink, and as he did so sald he knew it was bad, but merely wanted to see If Pfaff would find it out. When Pfaff gazed on Stromsburg's features he immediately said he had never seen him before, and no amount of brow-beating could induce him to change his mind. The gov- ernment accordingly took a long rest. The only evidence so far introduced against the defendant is his own admission that he passed a bad dollar on a liveryman, but he claims he did not know at the time that it was bad. The case will come up again Tuesday morning, when it is hoped that the officials will be able to present some evidence that they have not yet been able to get hold of. Grand Plaza telephone 45.

Wilhelm Poulson that rest to which every occupant of God's acre is supposed to be entitled. His ghost and his property are causing the sensational reporters of the Calle fornia papers to wear themeelves out in hot rivalry to get the latest doings concern- ing each. Dr. Poulson was for years the leading homeopathic physician In Council Blufts, but his skill became hampered by his psycical vagaries, and these eccentricitios were strangely and strongly developed by a sojourn in California, where he bee e known as “Count Peter W. Poulson,” and his resi- dence as “Castle Peterhoft.” The sensa- tional incidents of his return to Council Blufts and his sudden death are still fresh in the minds of The Bee readers. Mrs. C ter, who made her debut before the Council Bluffs public in a rather hysterical manner at the time of the doctor’s death was a hint chapters in his eventful life. Some of these chapters are now to be read in the probate court at Oakland, Cal where the squabble over the doctor's estate has just begun. Mrs. Alice Poulson, the young widow, has filed application for letters of adminis tration. This application s the chief bone of contention, and there will be little meat left upon it by the time all the hungry con- testants ve got through tussling over it Mrs. Poulson claims the Gastle Peterhoff as lier seperate property, having been deeded to her by her husband, and she declin to list it with the est. %0 that it will be out of the reach of .dit It is claimed that the “Count” also decded the property to his son, Hyrum Poulson, who lives in Council Bliffs.

There are now in all five lawyers who have liens on the estate, and three per- sons claim title to it. The doctor also owned a farm near Coun- cil Bluffs, and was possessed of other prop- erty, so that the estate reaches into the thousands of dollars. The five lawyers who have attended to the doctor's complicated matters claim liens amounting in gll to about $12,000, with more to hear from. The latest sensational development is the claim of Mrs. Lizzie Carter that she has found the last will and testament of Dr. Poulson, and that she intends to file it for probate. It s said Mrs. Poulson gave the doctor’s old clothes to her stepson, Hyrum Poulson, and In this way Mrs, Carter got possession of an old vest. In this sie found the mysterious will written on silk. This will the claims is accompanied by the statement that Mrs. Poulson murdered her husband. Mrs. Carter seems hysterical on this subjeet, and when in Council Bluffs she insisted on a cor- oner’s inquest, and the arrest of Mrs. Poul- son, and now’ she claims to have fortified her' case by numerous consultations held with the doctor's ghost. Mrs. Carter says the doctor’s ghost has promised to material- ize and appear in court against the widow in_order to convict her. To all charges Mrs. Poulson gives strong denfal, excopt that she did give away some of the late lamented’s old clothes. Her only fear ls that Mrs. Carter will {ry to shoot her, and the castle has consequently been duly forti- fled. It is sald both women go armed, and a_collision s watched for with morbid curi- osity by all knowing the facts. Some of the ‘attorneys are also said to be the recipi- ents of threatening letters from Mrs. Carter. Attorney Allen, on behalf of Hyrum J, Poulson of Council Bluffs, has filed a formal protest to the granting of letters of admin- istration to the widow. He asserts that Dr. Poulson died in the county of Pottawattamie, Towa, and that he was a resident of that place. Alice Poulson was appointed admin- istratrix of his estate in that county, but in the course of time she was removed by the court and Nathan C. Phillips was chosen for the place and is now acting. A copy of the order removing her from office was served on Mrs. Poulson in Alameda county and she was directed to turn over to W. W. Allen all papers and money in her possession belong- g to the estate. Mrs. Poulson refused to obey the order of the court. The contestant alleges that on July 7, 1894, Mrs. Poulson had placed on record in Ala. meda county a paper purporting to be a deed to her of Peterhoff. The contestant then says: That during her term as administritrix in Towa, Mrs. Poulson concealed all money, pa- pers ‘and property from the heirs of the es- tate, and has failed to make any accounting to the court of her trust. That all she ac- complished, so far as can be ascertalned from the record in the case, was to obtain possession of all the money, papers, personal property, etc., belonging to the estate, and to abscond from the state of Towa and from her trust beyond the jurisdiction of the court, and to conceal from the knowledge of the court and from the heirs interested all the money, books, etc., and to use and con- vert the same to her own use, and to thereby defraud the estate and those Interzsted therein out of the same. It Is asserted by tho contestant that Nathan Phillips is entitled to letters of ad- ministration on the estate, and that he is now preparing a_petition to be filed in Judge Ellsworth's court. The contestant therefore axks the court that the petition of Mrs. Poulson bo denfed and that she be required to turn over to the proper party all the money and documents in her posscssion be- longing to the estate of the late Count Poulson. Mrs. Boulon was an intimate friend of Count Poulson and she was also the fast friend of Mrs. Lizzle Carter. She was a member of the mysterious socleties organ- ized by the count, and recently hired a house near Peterhof o that she could be near the old home. In fact, Mrs. Poulson now says that Mrs, Boulon desires to get a house adjoining her gate, 8o that Peter- hof can be watched. Mrs, Boulon says that Dr. Poulson knew that he was going to meet his death, because it had been predicted. In a document just issued by her concerning the Poulson case, she sa. About four years ago Richard Smith re- celved his call as prelate to the first council This aged man's sight was Immediately opened as Paul's was opened, and with other revela- tions he set forth the death of Dr. Poul son by a discordant marrlage and conjured Dr. Poulson to change his aomestic relations or death would be th result. The doctor seemed too weak to sep- arate, earing publicity, and the aged prophet and seer conjured the brothers to assemble, seven in number and seven evenlugs in succession, and on the seventh night take the sacrament, and that God had declared through him that the walls of Satan should be broken down and their leader, Dr. Poul- son, should be set free. Alas, some of the messengers got In a tangle’ with thelr own wives, and, like in olden times, some had just married a wife, while others would upbraid the doctor. Dis- cord went on and Lucifer held sway until the prison walls stared the great prophet in the face und the wicked woman and her family, with lawyers, had bound him hand and foot. The aged pilgrim, Richard Smith, has returned from a long missionary tour to find the my engers scattered W and fro and Dr. Poulson dead The same revelator prophesies the return of Dr. Poulson by true materialization. He says that no mortal has touched the depth of mystery that has removed Dr. Poulson from the earth, 'he doctor will return again with many more sain's and will finish his mission by giving to the world the secret of Lucifer's strong hold on the world and how to overcome death and how to bring heaven down on earth I am now beginning to converse freely with the doctor. Hlis sudden death, so unexpected {0 him, shocked and weakened him so that until now I did not try to talk much to him but from this on I may see him every day until he becomes materialized and his eyes no longer blinded by Luclfer, ) saw him Iten: of the noge.
