Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-10-05

An important book, and one that
anticipates in a great meaA ure the official
history of the Franco German war, has
just been published in Berlin, in Major
Won Hahnke's narrative of the operations
of the army of the crown-prince, who
had, it seems, on the twenty. fourth OF
July, 1870, only ten battalions of foot
and eight squadrons of cavalry at bis
disposal. Exactly ten days later, on the
third of August, he commanded force
comprising one hundred and twenty
thousand infantry and nearly fifteen
thousand cavalry, with four hundred and
fifty guns. Major Won Hahnke con-
siderably reduces the number of Ger
mans actually engaged against Mac
Mahon at Woerth. putting the total at a
trifie over eighty thousand, cavalry in

A COSTLY
A German Farmer $50 Out.

Saturday afternoon, about five
o'clock, a farmer, who had been on q
little bender since his arrival in
town, made his appearance at the
Pacific Mills to close up some business,
and then to start for home. He was
handed some money, and in order to
make the right change he felt for his
pocket-book, and after searching
thoroughly for it in every pocket, he
discovered that it was gone. He
sobered up in a second, and upon
comprehending that he was minus
eighty dollars, he cried like a child,
and repeatedly exclaimed, "Mein
Gott in Himmel!"
He had no idea OF how, when, or
where he lost his money but the
probability is hat he was robbed.
He is a man who can i'll afford to lose
such an amount. His brother came
into town with him, but the two had
separated, and the loss had occurred
in the meantime.

A Word 10 Travellers.

We have a word to say in favor of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad. 1t
was the pioneer line Westward and
is the cold reliable" route to st.
Louis. With the improvements
which have been made during the
past year, we believe that the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equip>
ment of any line west of the Missis-
sippi. 1t is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine
Coaches and Pullman Sleepers,
equipped with the Miller platform
and the patent air brake, from lead
ing points in the West, through
Kansas City, Sedalia and Jefferson
City to st. Louis 'cithout change, con-
Meeting at st. Louis with elecen dit.
trent through routes to points North,
East and South. No change of cars
from Omaha to st. Louis via this
route. Particular information, with
maps, time tables, &C., may be had
at the various Through Ticket"

A DIRTY
Travellers Will do Well to
Give Council Bluffs a
Wide, Berth.

Paul Rouze, a Chicago dealer in
California fruits, wines and brandies,
left Chicago by the Northwestern
road Saturday to visit California for
the first time on business and pleas
ure. On arriving at the first station
the other side of Council Bluffs, he
was addressed by a bus agent, who
got on the train at that point, and
who asked him where he was going.
Mr.. Rouze replied, "to Omaha" The
agent then asked him if he had
baggage to be transferred, &c, and
finally sold him a Council Bluffs
bus ticket. Rouze was not acquaint-
ed with the manner in which the
transfer business is done, and having
told the agent he was going to Oma-
ha, he purchased the ticket under
the impression that it would take
him to this city. On arriving at
Council Bluffs the agent said,
Here's a 'buss," and Rouze got into
it and was driven to the Pacific
House. Upon discovering the man
ner in which he had been sold, his in
dignation and anger knew no bounds.
Having business to transact in Oma-
ha, he came over on the dummy this
morning, expecting to finish his bust.
ness and get his baggage over from
the Bluffs in time to take the Union
Pacific train for the West. In this,
however, he was disappointed. He
returned to Council Bluffs, and then
came back to Omaha with his bag
gage and put up at one of our hotels
till tomorrow, vowing that he
wouldn't spend a cent in the swim
dlers retreat across the creek. Trav-
elers will do well to make a note of
the above incident, and give Council
Bluffs a wide berth.

A NOVEL TEAM.
Two Elegant Elks at the
Barracks Trained to
Travel in Harness.

Last summer Little Buckshot," of
Company NJ, Second Cavalry, while
out in the vicinity of the Loup river,
caught four young elks-two bucks
and two does. The animals were
brought into the barracks at the time
the company returned, and they are
now nine or ten months old. Buck,
shot has lately been training them all
to drive in harness, having had a
harness, with a peculiar bit, made for
them by the saddler at the barracks,
and he has also had rugged up for
them a sleigh. The two bucks are
now pretty well trained, and can be
driven like a team of horses. "Buck-
shot recently drove them to Florence
and back, considerably astonishing
the natives of that rural place. 1t is
said that he can drive them
so as to make better time than Gold
smith Maid or Lucy. In a few days
he intends to bring them into town
and take a lively whirl through our
principal streets, 50 that our citizens
a have a good look at the nobby
team. The two does, too, are fast
reaching a high state of training, and
"Buckshot" expects soon to drive
a four-in>hand.
The happy family are kept in the
stables at the Barracks, and run
around loose a greater part of the
time, there being but little fear that
they will jump the guard, for they
seem to have a great affection for the
boys in blue. We understand that
they will, in the course of a few
months, be sent on TO New York ms a
present to some parties there.
Little Buckshot," who captured
them and owns them, has been a
member of Company NJ. for about
nine or ten months. He was for
merly a scout and hunter on the
plains, and while thus engaged he
won for himself quite n reputation,
and is well known throughout the
Western country.

Two Brave Women.

Last evening the dining hall and
restaurant of Mr.. John Damon, cor>
ner of Eighth aud Marcy streets, near
the Union Pacific depot, was entered
during the absence of all parties con.
nected with the establishment, by
some thief who helped himself to four
dollars in money and a bottle Of
brandy. Mrs. Damon, coming home
about ten o'clock, found the door
wide open, and was considerably
frightened thereat. Going to a
neighbours house she stated the mys-
FERROUS circumstance, and obtaining
the assistance of a lady named Mrs.
Hubbard, she returned and entered
the house. The two then armed
themselves with a poker each, and
searched the house over, but found
nothing to indicate the presence of a
burglar except the absence of the
loose change and the bottle of brandy.

SHAKING DICE.
A Califc--.,,..1n Loses 5000
and A--1 SITS the
blers.

A gentleman named /. +. Mann, of
San Francisco, while on his way to
st. Louis, met with a costly gambling
adventure at Fremont on Saturday
last. 1t appears that while the train
bound for Omaha stopped at that
place, at which there is an eating
house, he was roped into a game of
dice, in a neighboring saloon, and
beaten out of 5000. The Job
was put up by four gamblers, the
names OF two, a. we learn by a tele-
gram, being Connors and Wanns, Le-
longing in Omaha, and two Others,
whose names we were unable 10 obtain.
The quartette started for Omaha yes
terday in train No. 4, having given
the slip to Mann, who had been de-
tanned in Fremont on account of his
loss. Mann, however, learned of
their departure and got out a warrant
for their arrest, and a telegram was
sent to Elkhorn to head them off.
Upon the arrival of the train at this
station, an officer, with all the inhab-
itants of the village and farmers of
the vicinity, were found upon and
about the platform. The train was
gone through, the gamblers found,
and taken back to Fremont, where
they were o afterwards bailed out.
The trial came off to,day, and each
of the gamblers was fined 1926 and
costs. Connors, the principal party,
however, failed to put in an appear
ance at the trial, having jumped his
bail.
Mann has lived in California sixteen
years, and it seems strange that a man
who has been a resident of that State
for 5 long a time, could come East
and be roped into and be beaten by
so simple a game as dice. But it
seems that men are never too old to
learn.

A Good Record.

In 1872 the losses by theft, &C., of
local freight on the Union Pacific
railroad, 1882 miles in length,
amounted to only $GS0.25. The sale
of recovered stolen property and un-
claimed goods amounted to $6SO.34,
leaving a balance ofnine..cents in favor
of the company. This department is
under j. +. Gillin, the Union Pacific
detective, and the above record re-
fleets great credit upon himself, and
is one of which he may well be proud.
Besides he has now in his office 800
worth of recovered and unclaimed
goods awaiting sale. 1t is a fact that
the Union Pacific suffered less by
theft last year than any other road
in the country.
