DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A Doc
THREE PERSONS BITTEN About 20 clock yes
terday morning Mr. Fred. Melo, residing at
No. 2oO, south Wolfe street, was aroused by the
growing and swapping of dog in his bedroom,
and found that large Newfoundland dog be-
longing to him was in the act Of biting small
dog, which had taken refuge under the bed.
He caught the begerent canine by the ears,
and leading him to the door expedited his de-
parture by giving him vigorous kick. The
Infatuated brute quickly turned upon MIR, Me!o
and gave him slight bite, whcreupon Mr.. NJ.
seized L stool, intending to deal HIM severe
blow, but the dog Jumped upon him, threw
him to the ground. and bit him severely about
the hands, arms, shoulders, left side, and back
Of the neck. Hc seized his victim with d des
perate grip by the back of the neck, and shook
him violently. Mr.. Melo was made rowerless
from the attack of the dog, and, being unable
to defend himself, called Justify for his wife.
Mrs. Melo came Immediately, and, catching
the dog by the head and ears. succeeded in
pulling him off her husband. The savage ami
NAL turned upon her. and throwing her down,
in q minute bit her ieartuly about the hands
and arms his teeth at times penetrating to the
bone. Mrs Melo's loud screams attracted the
attention Of Officer Hosmon who came quickly
to the rescue The dog had, however, when
the officer arrived, released his hold upon Mrs.
Melo and again attacked her hus band: Officer
lIosmon was unable to dispatch the brute. as
the man and the dog were rolling over together
on the pavement Of the yard, and giving the
usual rap, he summoned assistance. In q few
minutes four or five officers were assembled and
the dog was beaten off, and made to take refuge
lin small passagc.wa in the house, where he
was locked in Several shots were fired at him
here, but without injuring him much, and Ser
geant johnson entered the house and came
down the back stairway to get well at him,
The brute was crouching upon the floor, and,
the officers pistol failing to fire, sprang at him.
The officer was obliged to retreat and the dog
followed him up the stairway, biting him three
times in the left leg below the knee, without,
however, seriously iujuring him. lie then
effected his escape from the house, and made

\ DEATII-BED DIvoRcE.-I From the Henry,
County lind Republican; Eli Davis, of
Lewsville, died on Wednesday, July 10. 1871.
lie had been for two years laboring under the
effects of paralysis. For one year he had been
unable to walk except by the aid OF Others, and
for more than six months had been to al! apoo
pearance devoid of reason, or any knowledge of
pcrsonsor things On July is, about six o'clock
p. NJ, and fifteen hours bcfhre his final exit,
and when he was to all intents and purposes
except the mere fact Of breathing, as dead as
poor old Marley, he WAS divorced by Judge
Vests court from his second wife. The suit
for divorce was brought by his guardian at the
instance of two sons by former wife, Harvey
Davis, boot and shoe dealer, of Indianapolis,
and Clinton Davis, otthe same place. The
deceased knew nothing more of the existence of
the suit than the man in the moon. The real
cause of it was the fact that the deceased was
the owner of property worth'not less than 500,
600, in which this second wife, if undivorced,
would have been entitled to L one-third interest
during life She is young healthy woman,
with apparently thirty or forty years of life
before her. 1t is but fair to presume that at
ten per cent, interest her third would be worth
fifty or sixty thousand dollars and over in
twenty years. And from what We can learn,
her chance to live twice that long is as good as
the chances Ofthe average Of womankind for
ten years. But by some hOcus pocus she was
persuaded or prevented from appearing against
the complaint, and to accept compromise Of
eight thousand dollars alimony. This COM
promise was endorsed and the divorce granted
by Judge William B. West when the complain
ant--who never knew that he complained at all
was dying. Comment is unnecessary. The

runs almost Immediately in the center OF
the great westward movement OF emigra-

the Missouri river at three points.
These three points are the gatewsys into
three great sections OF the trans-Missouri
egion.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you to the land
Of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and
perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth. which
opens Upon the south half Of Nebraska
south OF the Platte river, a region unsur-
passed on the continent for agriculture and
grazing. Just here are the b. & NJ. Railroad
lands, concerning which Geo. ). Harris, the
land officer at Burlington, Iowa, can give
you all iniormatiOn, and in the heart of them
Is Lincoln. the State Capital and present

The Southern gate leads TO Kansas, by
