PLAN OF OMAHA GTTY.-Ihe survey
of Omaha City has been made with the
greatest possible care and accuracy, by
A. ID. Jones, ESQ.,, and is now plated
and ca1 be seen at Tootle & Jackson's
store, at DIR. Rowe's Office, Bluff City,
or at Mr.. Gayler's, Recorder, this place.
The lots are &c feet front, and 1872 in
length-every lot running back to an
alley 20 feet wide, and instead of laying
off the entire tract into small lots for
speculation, out-lots have been laid off
around the business part on a liberal
scale, including an ample number of
commanding and beautiful points for
private residences and gardens. All
the streets are ITO feet wide, except the
two which lead to the Capitol
square, which are 100 feet wide; all the
alleys are 20 feet wide. Squares have
been reserved and set apart for the
leading and principal denominations,
and for Masonic and Odd Fellows
Halls.
SERIOUS AFFAIR-A MAN Shot NEAR
TRADERS Po1Nr, IowA.-Yesterday
morning, as MI. Z. Lord was driving a
team loaded with rock through the un-
derwood towards Heseford's, some one
from the bushes fred a gun at him, the
ball passing through the breast and
lungs. His cries for assistance brought
some neighbors to his assistance. A
young man by the name of Golden has
been arrested, charged with the attempt
ed murder. There had been a difficulty
between the parties quite recently, and
Mr.. Lord says the prisoner was the one
who shot him. The wound is consider
ed unquestionably fatal, but up to the
last accounts the wounded mar was
alive. The prisoner was taken to Coun-
Gil Bluffs for examination to-day. This
is a strange and melancholy affair, and
the person who lay in ambush for his foe
is a murderer though the man should
survive.
SERIOUS RENcoUNTRE.-We learn
with regret that a few days since an al
tercation took place at Fort Kearny,
N. T., between Col. Howler and Judge
Bradford, of Sidney, Iowa, in ref
ference to a certain landclaim, in the
course of which Judge Bradford was
struck with a club in the hand of the
other party, stunning him and very bad
ly fracturing his skull. He was carried
home ~senseless.
The Indians require ten dollars from
each settler for the right to build and
make improvements upon the lands for
which they have not received payment
nor relinquished their lights. We con-
slider this a just demand, and fer our
selves have complied. The amount
should be paid to Logan Fontinell, 1.-THE
chiefly II. D. johnson CT ourselves.
A large number of families are pre-
pairing to leave Lee county, Iowa, for
this region. They are good citizens, let
them come. We have an order from a
gentleman in the east to purchase for
him ten town lots in this city. lie says
he is satisfied that this will be the place,
and will bring a steamboat up in the
spring. We like his talk.
WILD FRUIrs.-There is the greatest
profusion of wild fruits in this Terrific
ry that we have ever seen in any eoun-
try Plums, grapes, gooseberries, straw
berries, rasberries c%urrants, cherries,
haws and hackberries, besides many 9TH
er minor varieties, may be found in al
most every locality, and exceedingly
fine and large.
FERRY.-The steam ferry boat Ma
rion runs regularly every day between
this place and Council Bluffs. 1t is
a good, safe and pleasant boat, and
makes the trip in five minutes from
shore to shore
DELEGATE To CoNsREss.-It is ex-
pected that Hon. II. ID. johnson and
Major Gatewood will be the two OPP
posing candidates for Delegates to Con-
gress-
