The Hope Hose Ball,

The dance given by Hope Hose Go. No.
3, last evening, was complete success in
every respect, and everybody who attend
ed it appeared to have good time. Eve
ry thing was done by the officers OF the
company to make it an enjoyable affair.
Eighty-four tichets were sold at the door,
and the hose house was so crowded, although
nine sets can dance below, that it was
found necessary, after supper, which was
served by John Aster in the meeting room
up stairs, to move to Turner Hall, where
there was plenty of room. After the
young folks were all assembled Ed. Nc
Edary mounted the stage and, in behalf Of
the hose company, rendered the sincere
thanks fthat body to Mr.. VIM. Fl. Lun-
DIV, for the present of three handsome
chromos; to Mr.. James Clark, for two fine
pictures, and to Misses Julia Ryan and
Mary O'Hare for two hanging baskets
The young folks danced until 5 o'clock this
morning, when all went home, tired but
happy.

A Probable Mistake.

The recent lynching at Bellefontaine,
Ohio, of which James Schell was the vic
tim, threatens to reveal another mystery
and, perhaps, lead to another tragedy.
Schell was hanged by the populace for
numbering girl fifteen years old, named
Allie Mclaughlin, whom he took riding
with him, and who was subsequently found
stabbed to death in the woods, the body
being nearly stripped of clothing and
shockingly mutilated. Schelfs wife de-
clared that her husband had committed
the deed, and on the strength of this state
ment the citizens, without making further
investigations, took the man out and hung
him. 1t is now stated that there was
! found in the cold and stiffened hands of the
dead girl, a few long hairs which cores
pond neither with her own nor those of the
man Schell, but exactly with those of the
woman Schell, both in length and color
thus clearly indicating that in the fierce
struggle in which the young woman's
clothes were torn from her, she had clutch.
cd the hair of her murderer, and thus, in
her mental agony, snatched from the head
of the woman the proofs of her guilt. The
citizens, therefore, begin to suspect thai
they were over-hasty in their violent ad
ministration Of Justice, since several cir.
cumstances point to Mrs. Schell as the rea
murderer, or as an accessory with heI
husband. The testimony of her OWL
daughter, child seven years old, giveI
before the coroner's jury, seems to impli
cate her, and the popular fury against he
was so strong after the examination tina
the sheriff had to remove her to a neigh
boring town to prevent a second lynching
If it should turn out that Schell was no
guilty of the crime he was hung for,
would prove that even the most intelligen
and generally orderly community has n
business taking the law into its own hands

Shocking Result Of Dance Fight

Shocking Result OF Dance Fight.
The village of Fulton, Muscatine county,
Iowa, seventeen miles out of this city, was
the scene of shocking occurrence on the
9th, particulars of which are about as fol-
lows:
A ball took place on Sunday night at
Thede's tavern, which was attended by
some fifty roughs. At the supper table a
young man named Bendix insulted one of
the servant girls, and Thede ordered him
out OF the house. A row ensued, and
Bendix was expelled from the premises
He returned, however, near enough to
throw soda bottle through the window,
hit Thede on the head, but did not iniure
him seriously, and then fed Towards
morning Bendix and some of his friends
returned to the house, and seized beer
keg and hurled it through window with
all the force they could give it. 1t was a
serious venture for them. The window
thus demolished lighted bed room, and
on bed near it was sleeping man named
John Piening. The beer keg landed on
his head, crushed his skull and rendered
him senseless. The crash alarmed tie
other inmates of the house, and all rushed
to Piening's room, and found him literally
weltering in his gore He bled at the nose
eyes and ears, and at the terrible wound
in his head. 1t was thought that he coulc
not survive long, the doctor who was SUN
moued pronouncing his case hopeless; bu
he has fingered in comatos'
condition since-almost dead, but still
breathing. At four o'clock vest rdal
afternoon he was still alive. Bendix ant
two or three of his companions were arrest
ed on Monday and held to appear for ex
animation, which was postponed on &C
count of Pienings condition.

Schurz's STYLE.

For brilliant and ssustained eloquence,
for the adornment of harsh and intricate

theme and heaping together about logi.

arguments and illustrations-th address

material in it for future warfare, ant

Probate Notices.

1t is necessary that we call public atten
ion to the fact that it is the right Of execu-
tors or administrators of estates to have
their probate advertising done in any news
paper in the county they wish. Several
notices of this kind have appeared in the
Union which we have reason to know the
executors and administrators prefer should
have appeared in The ARGUS. They
leave the matter with Guyer, the county
judge. or with Cook, the clerk, and in the
absence of any directions, they give them
all to the Union. Executors and admin
strators who want their notices published
in THE ARGUS should attend to that mat.
ter themselves, and not leave it to Guyer
or Cook, or to the lawyers employed! THE
ARGUS only asks fair play. but it can't gel
it unless executors and administrators will
attend to the matter themselves. If
