Dan Rice is young man and New York

February, 1928. But Two years have elaps-

But we can assure our readers that Mr. Rice
is a very respectable man in private Iife-of

A MYSTERIOUS ArrAlR.-The Leavenworth|
(Ia.) Wing of last Tuesday hasa singular state
ment Of all affair said to have occurred last
Friday night at Shorts Landing five miles
above Leavenworth, on the Indiana side
The statement is that four men went on board
a storeboat in the dead of night and demanded
admittance. The owner Of the boat refused il.
The ruffians avowed their determination to en-
ter by force and began knocking violently at
the door. The owner, with knife and re-
volving pistol, advanced to the door, which
they had partly forced. and assisted them to
open it. The moment II was open his dog
dashed at them, and he fred the six barrels Of
his pistol, killing one and wounding one or
two more. and putting the gang to fight. The
man who was killed fell into the river, but his
body could not be found the next day.
Ina postscript of the Leavenworth) paper,
we find the following. which, however, is
wholly inconsistent with the preceding nara
tive:
We give on the preceding page the particu-
lars, as told to us, of an attempt to rob store
boat some miles above this town, and the
death of one of the robbers. Just as we were
about to put our paper to press, Mr.. Stewart
Benham, who bad just returned from his store
boat, which is lying short distance below
where the affair described is said to have &C.
Cured, called upon US ard gave us information
which throws doubt upon the statements
there given, and inyolvesth story in mystery
| II is now supposed that the owner of the boat
has been killed BY two men he had hired. He
went to Louisville few. days since, leaving
the boat in charge OF the men alluded to, and
returned by the packet on Friday night, the
me night on which, as the men assert, some
persons attempted to enter the boat, and that
they killed one and wounded one or two 9th
ers, &C., as before stated. Persons living in
the neighborhood think the proprietor Of the
boat did return on Friday night, as goods which
had been discharged from the packet were seer
on the bank of the river next morning near the
boat; but he is missing, and the two hands
have possession of the boat, and refuse to per
NIT any body TO 60 to the back part fit. These
facts, together with the further facts that there
| is blood on the bow of the boat, and that the
reports of firearms were heard by persons or
| the opposite side of the river on the night In
question, have caused the two men to be sus
| picioned, and they have been apprehended per
haps ere this for the murder Of the proprieto
of the boat.

WITH HIS MOTHER.-Who that has parted
with his aged mother and received her last

land OF strangers 10 seek home for himself.
can read the last interview between Wash
ingion and his mother, and suppress The ri.
sing tear that starts unbidden al The remem-
brance Of such scene. Time may dim the
recollection of many ofihe incidents of youth
when we come in contact with the world,
but there is magic in the mothers voice
her well remembered tone of admontion;
her kindness and unceasng care will raise
up before him who loved her, and follow him
as guardian angel in all the varied scenes
Of life. Happy the man who was blessed
with such mother, and loved her-happier
he who having such, forgets not her love,
her kindness and instructions.
Immediately after The organization OF the
ptesen, government, Gen. Washington re-
paired to Fredericksburgh TO pay his humble
duty to his mother, preparatory 10 his de.
parting for New York. An affecting scene
ensued. Tie son feelingly marked the raw
ages torluring disease had made upon the
aged frame of his mother, and thus address
ed her:

The President was deeply affected. HIS
head rested on the shoulder of his parent
The brow ON which fame had wreathed the
