No Z. S. officer has appeared to take
charge of the post-office thieves, and it is
quite probable that they will be left to be
dealt with by the county. Moore is still
in the calaboose here, and Benson in the
county Jail.

Last evening 1.-THE 13th) about o'clock
William Binder, from Davenport, came
from that city in buggy in company with
Capt. A. Timm. Binder did the driving
along Main St. and when opposite the
Western House, accidentally run into
Henry Green who was crossing the street
at the time. The shaft of the buggy
struck Green in the breast crushing the
breast bone and severely iniurirg him near
the oracle OF the heart. Doctors Paine
Dawson and Vitzthum were called and
did everything possible for the wounded
man, and, later, three physicians from
| Davenport were summoned, Binder was
arrested and placed under $4,000 bonds
to await the result of Green's injuries, Au-
gust Timm, James First, and Conrad
Grant, going on his, bond. Binder was
very much worried and felt badly over the
accident. Iimm was almost heartbroken.
Green having been one of his best friends.
Binder is a saloon keeper in Davenport
and is man of kind disposition. Green,
it is said, has been drinking for several
days and is supposed to have been under
the influence of liquor at the time of the
accident. 1t is only about six months ago
that Green lost his wife. He has four
children, all girls, whose piteous appeals to
their PROSTATE father, beseeching him to
speak to them, touched the hearts of all
present. Green was kindly cared for by
Chris Hurhl, of the Western House, where
the wounded man was carried. This
morning he was moved to his home, and
was able to speak to his children. The
preliminary examination of Binder will
