Oh, Ho! Il That Ite

"John Utt done his damdsst against

So that's it. This " dam dest" was
done against ''you"-that is. j. p. John

John UT and Sol. Miller. exercising q
free and undisputed right, saw fit to vote
for and labor for the election Of citizen
of their own town. whom every body &C.

A few weeks ago. we bad occasion to

On Monday night last. Capt. D. W.
Allison was coolly relieved Of some
$4,000, on the Iowa Reservation. He
had prepared to start to st. Joseph on
the following morning. to make some
purchases ofgoods. That evening. he h.d
been to No Heart post office, and from
there went to the Agency, to sscertais
whether Maj Norris had any business for
him to transact at St. Joseph. Leaving
the Agency at nine or ten o'clock, be

hsps a quarter Of q mile. As he was

while smother stepped out. and held q re-
volver to his head. The Capt. put his
hand in his pocket, pulled ont bis pocket
book, and handed it to the man who had
thrown him down, remarking that be pre-
sumed that was what be was after. The
reply was. that they were not after his
pocket book nor bis watch. but were in
for bigger thing. and that they wanted
the m onsy be had elsewhere on his person.
They then riAad bis side coat pocket Of
several envelopes containing the $4,000.
They appeared to know where be carried
his money: but in refusing to take bis
pocket hook they missed fat haul. IS be
had a 81 900 bill in it which he had re-
ceived that evening. Several other men
stood back short distance. with whom
his searcher stepped aside and held q
short consultation. As be lay on the
ground. be could also see still another
person approaching in the darkness. whom
he thinks must have been doggipg bis
steps-so that there were about Eve per-
sons in all. The only one who spoke
aloud, was the man who searched him.
1t was too dark for the Capt. to gain any
idea of his features. and bis voice be did
not recognize. The otherf, be thinks,
was persons whom be might have known.
inasmuch as they stood aside.
Having finished the search, the party

there until one Of the party. who would

however.
The only personal Inconvenience the

from his sudden collision with the ground.

It's time We had somebody down thar to look
after the intrusts of the people. I've got mon
