SUNDRY Ours AND BRUIsEs.-Michael La
win was the victim yesterday, and if he lives
after the cutting and pounding he re-
ceiyed at the hands of John Maoney, he
will surprise those who saw him after the af-
fray. LAWNS wife left the old man lying on the
bed in his house-which is up an alley off East
Central street-with Maloney and two other
men in the house. In about ten minutes she
came back and found her husband lying on the
floor in pool of blood with his head and face
so badly cut and bruised as to give it the appear
ance of mass of blood, hair and dirt. He
was helpless and unable to speak at first; but
after DR.. Wood had sewed up his under lip,
which was cut from his mouth to tine bottom of
his chin, he managed TO tell the police officers
that Maloney tried to kill him. A man named
when Mrs LAWN went out, says that he and
the third man went away soon after she did,
leaving Maloney alone with Mr.. LAWN. Before
news of the affair had reached the
police office, the man Maloney had
been arrested for drunkenness; and when
taken the officers noticed that his trousers were
bloody. Afterwards some of the gray hair from
the old mans head was found sticking to his
boot heels. Maloney is fellow whose time has
been spent in Jail recently, more than anywhere
else He was sent there last March for assault
ing this same LAWN with dangerous weapon;
and on this occasion he probably intended to
make a sure job of it.

To .Nsbraska. California, Kansas. and
the X. n III. IL. K. Lands.

The starting points of this Route are at Chi
cago and Peoria. The central point is BUR-
LINGTON ,on the Mississippi, 1t traverses Illi-
nois and the whole breadth of Southern Iowa.
Near the Missouri its trunk forks into three
branches, for it has three western termin.
It's northern terminus is Council Bluffs,
where, crossing to Omaha, it connects with
the Union Pacific for all places on the intra-
continental and Pacific slopes. Overland
travel and traffic chosen this reliable route
more and more.
Its next terminus is Lincoln, the Capital of
Nebr aska, fifty five miles west Of the Missouri
at plattsmouth. This is the only direct avenue
to the South Platte country, where the sales of
railroad land last season, rose to half a mil
lion.
It's third terminus is at Hamburg, and Ne
braska City. At Hamburg. it makes close
connections, twice n day, for St. Joseph, Leav-
enworth, Kansas City, and the whole South
west.
In journeying then, from the East to Kansas,
via Burlington, you enjoy advantages you can
secure on no other line. You both pass over a
road second to no other in speed, safety, or any
Pullman luxury of modern travel and while
on your way, survey the garden of Illinois and
Missouri, rs well as 400, 0e0 acres of prairie in
South western Iowa, now in market at low
prices and long credit
Keep it then before people westward bouad

This celebrated trotting stallion will make
the season OF 1871 at the following places
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at the
Park House Stables Portage street, Kalama-
zoo; Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at the
Stables OF the Dyckman House, Paw Paw, at
the low price OF FORTY DOLLARS by the
Season. Money paid or note given at the time
OF service. DescripGon-Night Hawk Is golden
sorrel, sixteen hands high, weighs 1850 pounds
and for shape, style and temper, Is not ex-
celled by any horse In the State. HIS trotting
qualities need no comment, az the record of
the Lansing Society shows that he trotted there
on half mile track in 2:31 and again in Au-
gust, 1868, on the same track he trotted five
mile race against Dallas OF Detroit, winning
the race easily in ii minutes and in n trial
ten days before the race, trotted his five miles
on half mile track in 1925 Pedigtee-Night
Hawk was sired by Champion, he by Almanack
by Mambrno, by Imported Messenger. Dam,
Spirit, by Engineer, out of Syren, by American
Eclipse. HIS dam was sired by Esq. Shermau's
Young Eclipse, by American Eclipse, by Duroc,
by Imported Domed. HIS dam by Gray Dio-
med. a son OF Old Medley, her dam by Old Oade,
grandam by Col. IIickman's Independence, by
independence by Old Fearnaught, out OF Dolly
Fine, Old Silver Eye, great-grsndam by Inn
ported Badger. Her dam was by Mary Ridge
out OF Kate Doan. by Brutus, by bashaw.-
Thus II will be seen that there Is no. drop OF
blood running in Night Hawks vlens but what
originates from Thorough Bred Stock. All
mares served by this horse and not proving la
foal can have the service Of the horse the fol-
loving fall free Of cheIge.
