A DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.
Major Dubois Assaulted and
Knocked Down Friday Night
by IN Unknown Villain.
Hi Nose and Forehead Badly
Cut, Evidently by Brass
Knuckles.

Major Dubois, of the I'd Cavalry,
and member of the Government
board for the purchase of cavalry
horses, met with an adventure Fri
day night, which he will long re.
member.
At a late hour of the night, after
having spent the evening at the
Grand Central Hotel, and other
places in. the upper portion of the
city, he proceeded leisurely to his
own hotel, the Metropolitan. He
stepped into the 'Crystal' saloon,
to light his cigar. He then
came out and walked down to
Eleventh street, crossed to the north
side of Douglas, and was going then
direct to the Metropolitan. AS he
neared the buildings just this side
of the hotel, a man stepped out
from a doorway, walked up to him,
and without a word of warning,
struck him a blow in the face, which
felled him to the sidewalk. The
Major soon regained his feet, when
another man who was standing not
far distant, told him he had better
go home. He felt weak, and asked
the man to help him, but the fellow
FASTENED away. The Major man.
aged to find his way to his room,
unlock the door, and before he could
succeed in getting a match, he be-
came aware that blood was flowing
down from his face. Hastily throw
ing off his clothes, he lit the gas,
and looked i'm a mirror, where he
beheld his nose laid open to the
bone, and his forehead marked with
with a deep cash over his left eye.
DIR. McClelland, upon being sent
for, came and sewed up the wounds.
Maj. DuBuis, although being
able to be up, is very weak,
owing to the loss Of sleep. He
seems to think that the villain who
struck him intended to robhim, but
was scared away by the appearance
on the scene of the second man,
who, coming down from n of the
low dens of infamy in that block,
probably fastened away as he did
not care to be recognized. The
friends of the Major are of the opin-
ion, however, that he was Swallowed
during the whole evening by some
person who wished thus to get re-
venge for something. 1t is a very
mysterious affair, and the police, il
they go right to the bottom and sif1
all the circumstances, may capture
the cowardly villain.

"A chariUari was the attraction
in South Omaha Saturday night.
The "gentle racket" was heard
all fover the city, and 1t
is a matter of surprise that
the police did not make a raid on
the young rascals.
Dress parade at the Barracks
Friday evening vas witnessed by a
large number of our citizens, whose
vehicles thronged the drive at the
post. The parade was indeed an
attractive sight.
-Gustave Engstrom, the boy
who had both of his legs cut of on
the "bottoms" somem months ago, by
the ears, died Saturday morning
at four O'Clock. The funeral took
place tomorrow, at the corner of
Ninth street and Capital avenue.
The young people of st. Barnabas
gave an entertainment Friday even
ing IN the Parish school room, to a
number of their friends, consisting of
aMrs. Jarley's celebrated a
works" Mr.. Holmes as Mrs. Jar
ley, was agreat success, and the lit
tie people as wax figures, could not
be surpassed.
Mr.. Leonard J. Jenkins, father
Of c. L. Jenkins, died Friday
morning. He was probably the
Oldest resident in the city, having
been born in Southampton, Mass,
in 1859. He served as Captain i'm
the war of 1872, and was for many
wears General of the Massachusetts,
militia He has been a resident
of this city for the last four years.
The funeral took place Saturday
morning from the residence of his
son, 2l2 Jackson street.
"A young man named Ayers, an
employe of the Union Pacific,
boarding at Mrs. Kelley's, on 18th
street, between Capitol Avenue and
Davenport streets, is ''out' s45 suit
of clothes. Sometime ago he took
in a youth named Harry n. Heiks,
as q room-mate, and gave him gra-
tuisous lodgings, and helped hiE' In
other ways, as he was dead broke.
Heiks has gone, and Ayers clothes
,re gone. The superstition is that
.hey left the city Friday after
in company, as Heiks was
cen leaving the house with a bum
lie under his arm. The police are
investigating the matter, and it is
,oped that they will capture the fei-
aw who eloped with the clothes.

in this city yesterday at the tent,
pitched at the corner of Capitol
avenue and Seventeenth streets.
Mrs. Van Colt preached to a large
congregation both in the morning
and evening. These meetings will
be continued every evening during
the week.
President Dillon, of the Union
Pacific, General Superintendent
Clark, Chief Engineer Sickles, Oil
yer Ames, and others connected
with the road, will leave for the
West this morning, in a special car.
Mr.. Dillon intends to thoroughly
inspect the whole line, and to obtain
q good view of the country and the
many improvements that have been
made since the road was built. The
party, therefore, will travel only by
day.
The complimentary concert to
be given Mrs. H. l.. Latey, will I'M
doubtedly be a great musical sue
cess. All the best talent of Omaha
will lie represented, and such a COM
bination is a sufficient guarantee
that the entertainment will be the

-Solomon's dashing iron-gray
steed, took a dash around the block
Friday night, without splitting any
paint or smashing any glass. Satur,
day morning the fiery untamed
equinerepeated the performance, the
closing scene occurring on Ninth
street between Harvey and Howard,
where the wagon was tipped over
the driver thrown out, the highly
ornamental elevated seat badly de-
moralized, and the hind spring bus
ted. This horse is certainly n O
the most expensive in the city. A
the same time its commendable in
dustry in making work for the
wagon-repairer, and its numerou'
attempts to furnish employment t.
the undertaken, by trying to breal
the drivers neck, should not be un
derrated.
1.-THE Cheerful Workers Bib,
class" had a sociable at the Firs
Baptist church Friday evening. Ac
cording to the unanimous report O
a party of young gentlemen who at
tended, 1t was anything but a cheer
ful sociable. They came there witt
their pockets full of nickles, in
tending to spend their money freel.
for the good cause, and at the sam'
time pass q pleasant evening
Nobody introduced them, o.
showed them any attention
and they had to navigate for them
selves. In self-defense they sur
rounded a table, captured a napkin
and some refreshments, and while
disposing of the latter, attempted t.
make the people believe that the.
were enjoying themselves. Any ont
who has been in the same situation
can imagine their feelings, ant
deeply sympathize with them. Thei
complaints as sent to us in a length!
communication would make a east
iron monkey grin at their dis.
comfiture. 1t is hoped TO
the benefit of these victims o
misplaced confidence, that thu
"cheerful workers" will make thei
next sociable more entertaining TO
bashful young men. Many o
them no doubt could then easily b.
induced to become sscheerful work
ers" themselves.
