Pace and G. H. Scott were chosen chairman and secretary respectively. No one seemed to know whether it was G. P, Kemp or some one else who retired from the office of township trustee this year, but it was finally decided to act on the supposition that Kemp was the man, and he was renominated unanimously by accla- mation, In cate the ccnvention was m's- taken tho city central commiitee will be al- lowed to get the party out of the difficulty by selecting some one else. A. Fellentretter was chosen township clerk. An informal ballot was taken to bring out the candidates for constable. It rezulted as follows: Gus Heisler, 12; F. M. Compton, 10; B. W.

During the past year the slot machine business has become e of the most prominent industries of the city. There is hardly a saloon or cigar store in the city where there is not at least one machine into which a man may drop a nickel and get—much or nothing, and mostly the latter. In some of the saloons there are half a dozen machines of varlous kinds, and it one cannot win at one of them he has other varieties, which may prove better, or worse. By the time ha has thoroughly tested all of them he may have dropped a couple of dollars and won any amount of cash or experience. No one but the pro- prietors of the places have any adequate idea of the amount of money that is taken in by these machines every day, and they refuse to_tell, 3 The present city’ administration has been very stringent in the matter of roulette, faro and like games of chance, but has chosen to ignore the presenca of the innocent looking nickel-in-the-slot machines because little has been said about them. Now that so much air- Ing has been given them, It is hard to fore- tell whether they will still be ignored, but there are those who phophesy that the slot machine’s day is rapidly coming to an end in Council Bluff Soclal Goss A party was pleasantly entertained at tea at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery Tuesday evening.

The federal court grand jury, which has been grinding industriously for the past five days, stopped yesterday long enough to spit on its hands and make its first report to Judge Woolson. Ten indictments were re- turned against parties charged with violating the internal revenue laws. Harold Egbert, a young man of Council Bluffs, was indicted for sending a postal card to his friend, Joe Sopher, in Des Moines, asking as to the wel- fare of a number of lady friends of his, and using some very risque expressions, as Dep- uty Marshal Bill Richards puts it. Harold was arrested several weeks ago and taken before a commissioner who allowed him to put up a straw bond. He has skipped since then, and the marshal's force are wondering where. Henry Wesling was indicted for a similar offense. He loved a girl, and for a time the girl loved him. But her love was not per- ennial, for she transferred it to another fel- low. ' To show his independence Wesling wrote a letter to his successful rival and said all sorts of improper things. Mrs, Edgerton pleaded guilty to making a frandulent affidavit in support of her pen- sion claim, and Judge Woolson took time to sentence her. Her brother, W. B. Cuppy, has not pleaded gullty, and his friends claim’ that ho will not. The 'trial of cases on the crim- inal calendar will be commenced Monday, and it is not unlikely that his may be among the first. In the personal damage suit of Horace C. Yates of Lincoln against the Union Pacific Railway company, in which a judgment of 25,000 was asked, the jury awarded $12,000, Thousands would have been disappointed by the failure of the show parade yesterday had it not been for Cole & Cole.

FKFrom the former came summer heat, and from the latter elmost a steady stream of deliciously browned bis- cuits that were distributed as the wagon passed along. It was a great send-off for the stoves. man, After emerging from a fight in Justice Cook's court yesterday afternoon with vic- tory perched upon his banners, Emil Schurz ran up against Joe Belmont, alias Artresser, last evening, with more doubtful results. Belmont is said to be connected with Barnum & Bailey's circus, and as he had little to do yesterday he imbibed quite frecly. During the evening he looked for some trouble, and found Schurz, who was willing to supply him with the article he desired. There were a few sharp words bandied, and Belmont struck Schurz in the face. Then Schurz let fly his good right arm, and his clenched fist landed squarely in Belmont's mouth. But it was a blow that worked both ways, for while it disarranged Belmont's complexion consider- ably, Belmont's teeth inflicted an ugly wound in the fist, which the doctor who attended to it sald might result in blood poisoning. After being locked up Belmont sent a note to his friend, Rohelia Judge, asking him to get him out of jail quick, but at a late hour last night he was still in. Chambers' dancing academy now open for pupils. Call after 10 a. m. Circulars, - They Want a Guarantee. A meeting of the Ganymede racing board was held at the club rooms last evening for the purpose of determining whether a race meeting should be held October 11 and 12, as was planned for earlier in the season. After hearing read tha telegram from Ed Spooner of Louisville, mention of which was made yesterday, it was decided to send another tel- egram asking him to furnish a guarantee that the men his telegram promised would be here would really come and enter the contests. In that case a meet will be given. Whether Spooner can furnish the desired guarantee is still a matter of doubt, but it is known that he has quite a “pull” with Goodwin of Louls- ville, who books all the class B -men, and he is in a position to secure the guarantee it any one can. Good prizes will be offered, amounting In value to $2,000, and the racing board has no doubt that all the arrangements can be completed, even In the limited time left, for fully as good a meeting as that of last’ year.

NEW YORK, Sept. 38—The World cor- respondent In Cuba, whe,bas just visited the provinces of Santa Clémeand Santiago, re- ports that the rebellion has grown remark- ably since he last visinaw thes: seotlons. He saya: The claim of the Spanish press that the rebellion was an upling of blacks was | then borne out by my ehsrvations. There were on the first of Jung,gbout 5,000 men in the fleld in Santlago, a gansiderable number of whom were unarn ('lh and four-fifths of whom were negroes of mén of color. There were a few unorganizéf hands prowling in the forests of Puerto'Pridcipe, awaiting a leader.

Antonfo Maceo SPANISH comrp OF MEXICANS, IxhibIt Too Muech Sympa Cause of Cul CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 28.—The Spanish residents will meet tomorrow at the Spanish club to discuss Cuban affairs. There is much excitement among them over the mani- festations of sympathy with the revolution and their organ charges that some of the police and judiciary have displayed, on occa- sions where the populace were insulting Spain and the Spaniards, entire apathy, and the article concludes with warning them if blood flows over the Cuban question here the cuthorities will be to blame. The popular demonstration of sympathy proceeds in part from the dislike of the lower classes for the Spaniards. A Spanish organ here complains that the Spanish minister, Duque de Arcos, does not interfere to prevent Mexican news- papers from attacking Spain and upholding the Cubans. La Patria is indignant at this desire to curtail the liberty of the Mexican press. CHINA MUST COM hy with the o TIM AT ONCE Dritish Insue Ultimatum stinds.

ROBBER Part Pl by Horses to Inveigle Strangers to a Robbers' D, “When I was in Nebraska near Snake river, north of the Great Sand hill, said an old resident to a reporter Lewiston (Idaho) Journal, ‘“we had four camps, situated about eighteen miles apart and to go from Thorne's camp to Dunham camp it was necessary to go through a long plece of pine woods. For a number of months every one who had gone through the woods alons never came back. One day it was necessary that I should go through with a lot of money and no escort, and 1 set out on a horse that I got from a stable keeper near Thorne camp, “When I had nearly reached the woods five milss out, my horse was taken ill and refused to go on. Clearly to my medical eye it_had been poisoned slightly by some one. Soon, what looked like a hunter came along on a horse and offered to swap, taking mine back to the stable.1f I would leave his pear Dunham camp with a trapper. I ought to have seen through thig, but did not. 1 ot on to the powerful horse of the stranger and started through the five miles of woods When half way through, without any apparent reason, the horse broke into a trot, a gallop and finally a run, and dashing oft’ the' trail through the woods picked his way among trees as nicely as if he had gone that way a hundred times. Pull as I would at the bridle, he paid no attention, but ran the faster. When he had leaped a brook and landed on the sand beyond the marks of footprints alarmed me and I slipped off at the risk of my life. He ran on up a ravine and 1 hid, fearing that it was a trap, as it afterward proved. In a little while three men armed with rifles came back on the trail, one riding the horse, now as calm as a lamb. I picked my way to the road and got out to the camp. “Two weeks later nineteen of us followed a man who hired a horse at the same place I did. It was taken ill, and the same trap- per came along on the same horse. When the horse dashed into the woods, as he had been trained to do, nineteen of us dashed after him and finally arrived at a mountain camp of the robbers. We took every man— seven of them—and, well! law was not well supported out there then, and no court sat nearer than 200 miles. We didn't carry the rascals away from their own camp fire.” The trained horse met the fate of its owners."” Oldest Twins in the World. Nathaniel and Benjaspin,R.

Posses under sheriffs and marshals had been routed on various occasions, as the little cattle towns scattered through this enormous territory could only furnish very inadequate forces to cop: with the desperadoes. of their presence was now their chief object. That the law was unable to render them material assistance was evident and so they concluded that the only remedy was to take it in their own hands A DIFFICULT UNDERTAKING. The “‘round-up” season had begun, and not only was it to be a round-up of cattle, but were willing to overlook acts that would not be tolerated in a more settled country. They knew their lives were tak-n in their hands and expected to give and receive no merey in their encounters. They were fully equipped and outfitted by the cattlemen, and were to travel and scout the country in small bodies, and wherever signs of the thieves were di covered by any one party notification was to be sent, as far as practicable, to the others, 80 that'the concentration of forces might be effected. It must not be supposed, however, that the robbers traveled openly in one large band. It would have been a far easier matter to deal with them had this been the case. As a general rule they roamed in small bands and had certain points at which to meet, when, having collected a good-sized herd, they would drive them across the border hur- riedly. They had spies and scouts scattered throughout the country and e towns, who kept them well posted on all the move- ments contemplated for their destruction. Their exact number could not be ascertained although it was estimated there must have been at least 200 of them. STOCKMEN AND SETTLERS UNITE. When news of the new move of the stock- men became kncwn it was looked upon with favor by the settlers and residents of the little cattle towns, who were anxious to see tho thieves run out of the country, as the also had grievances against them, for man a night had they taken possession of their head of each being men who were picked for thgir noted bravery and coolness and competent to enforce obedience from those under them. There was no need for specific instructions. All were aware of the nature of the work before them. They never stopped to count the cost of a meeting with those who were as deadly with the revolver and as reckless and regardless of danger as them- selves. As has been said, the majority of those who were employed by the cattlemen to run down the thieves were cowboys from Texas, but there were also many others be- longing in that country. who were thor- oughly acquainted with every foot of the land through which the cattle roamed. These were distributed through the different de- ROUNDING UP THE RUSTLERS Copelund and S Omnhn—Some Reasons Why T merchants, meehant and others representing all DISEASES OF TH Y ed that the skil and radicnl ¢ nd Tike nre trentment nnd iezemn, Pro main 1. 1 nse bhey ment rut Him | Inspect s a8 fol- ws unde I can report cts of cata h ruined the natural acti of August my specdy ' recovery polson of the whe stomuch a n of n from tae lo system 0 stop er Upon Thelr Fifth S ROUR YRARS THE RECORD OF A SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL | WO 1895 N ERPRISE Year of Practice f Won a Large and hey ¥ ave Ing P atronoge, in the WestaTho Tozxas Noys During the four yewrs of constant practice of | week's use of your vemedies ought to convince s Vit Dre.

The killing of Harris exa perated O'Hara far more than the loss of his cattle and he vowed a vengeance aga inst | many of them had been former companions when he had followed the life of a cowboy, before engaging in business for himself There seemed to be a tacit und:rstanding among the desperadoes to leave the O'Hara brand unmolested, and the loss of the cattle mentioncd were the first he had ever missed. It was even doubted afterward as to the no- torious band being the depredators. Be this as it may, they received the credit at the time, and ‘this was the cause of. galning for them the ®mity of the man who was des- tined to be the means of breaking up their promising. Rumors were plentiful of engagements be- tween the cattle thieves and thelr pursuers, and it was almost a month after their depart- ure before verification of them and definite resilts became known. A detachment of the cowboys arrived at this time with the bodies of three of their companions who had been killed in a desperate encounter, on the Box DRIVEN TO BAY. The fight on the Box Elder was the be- ginning of the end of the carcer of the cattle thieves. The determined pursuit of the cow- boys was having its effect. They were rap- idly diminishing, and finally were driven to collect in one band under the leadership of the noted desperado, George Axlebee. He had gathered together about fifty mem- bers of the band, the remnant of the lawl and powerful crowd, and was endeavorin, to make his way through Montana into Can- ada. The balance of the thieves had either been killed or had deserted after the cha tachments to act in the capacity of scouts ney was made overland, little over 200 mil, the distance of a being covered In from present day, remained their rendezvous dur- ing the winter's idte months. Of the men who had been appointed as leaders of the dlfferent bands was one who was well known among the local cowboys and cattlemen. His name was Jack O'Hara. He bad a reputation second to none among the rough riders of the country. About 40 years of age, slight of build, small of stat- ure, at first glance one woull hardly give a second thought 1o him. From his acquaintances you soon found that he was a man slow to anger, firm in his friendship, the quickest shot and the finest horseman on the range and always with the under dog in a fight. Many a luckless tenderfoot had he saved from being put through the rough initiations of his reckless companions on a town-painting hurrah. A short time previous to the organizing of the stockmen O'Hara, who had a small herd of cattle in the vicinity of the Little Missouri river, had missed several head of stock and suspected the rustlers of the theft He had joined a posse organized by Deputy Sheriff Fred Willard of Spearfish to pursue them. They corralled the band at a small stage during the fray, and that evening was Lbrought i to Spearfish and placed in the hot pursuit. Tho thieves knew that no mercy could be faced them.
