Tobin, both gray haired men, were brought
before Justice Lefingwell, Saturday, charged
with an assault and battery ON the person Of
Annie Tobln, daughter of John. It ap.
peared from the evidence that for q long time
past the girl has been subject to course o.
abuse from her stepmother, who frequently at.
tempted to drive her off. Last week she left
home and took up her abode with Mrs. Waldo
with whom she was formerly employed in
the capacity of q milliner. She at the same
time engaged to work for Harrison & Bates,
milliners. On Thursday her father called for
her and tried to induce her to return home,
which she refused to do. In the afternoon,
the father and uncle called for her, and on
her refusal to 60, dragged her from the house,
beating her with their fists, kicking and
choking, and otherwise maltreating her, and
dragging her through the streets to;her home.
The brutes were fined SO each, and costs,
amounting to 1885.
A GALLANT SOLDIER AT REsr-We received
have the sad intelligence Of the death Of
Ed. Reiner, of Columbus City; . noble
young man, true patriot and gallant SOL
der of the Republic. The intelligence was
not altogether unexpected, as he was victim
OF that fell destroyer, consumption. For the
past three months be has been unable to leave
his bed. He passed away into that sleep
that knows no waking on last Sunday morn
ing at four o'clock.
At the outbreak Of the war, Mr.. Reiner,
fired with patriotic devotion to his country,
rushed to her defense, enlisting in the first
company formed in Columbus City-Co. G,
9th Iowa infantry,-with which he served
faithfully, in the capacity of LIST Lieutenant,
until failing health compelled him to resign.
Soon after his return, his health improving,
he again enlisted, and was appointed Adjutant
of the 30th Iowa infantry, post he held
and honored until last summer, when his
broken'down constitution gave way, and he
was obliged to resign. He has since been an
invalid at home.
1t would be vain to eulogize him. Those
who knew him best appreciated him most
He was an excellent young man and true
soldier.
