A Card From Charley Buncher.

To the Public.
| have noticed 10 the Union, this morn
ing, statement of man who says his
name is Edwin II. Gushing, from Rock
Falls. and who says he dined at my place
yesterday and that when he paid his bill
he handed me what he thought was a enc
dollar bill but which he now thinks was a
ten, aud he thinks | took advantage of
his mistake and made change to him for
one instead of ten The man is mis-
taken. He handed me one, not ten,
and | know nothing about his ten though
| can suggest where it probably was left,
if he had ten. In the early part of the
day this man was in my place, aud he
asked me where he could find ''crib. +"
[ referred him to young man standing
near and said maybe he can tell you. +"
He conversed with the young man awhile
and went away-to such place, as / have
been told. He came back to dinner. Ii
he had ten he probably dropped it there.
He did not hand me ten, but did band
me one. CHARLES BUNCHER.

Two Years in the Penitentiary.

Ambrose Bone, who plead guilty to man
slaughter in the killing Of Minnie Ben
necke, in the district court, in Davenport
on Tuesday, was brought before Judge
Hayes on Wednesday afternoon and sen
fenced to two years in the Anamosa peni-
Tertiary, The Judge remarked, in SEN
fencing the prisoner, that it was an IN
usual thing for him to impose so light a
sentence upon any one guilty of such a
crime, but the conduct of the young man
since the killing showed that he had never
intended to commit the crime. though he
was held liable to to criminal punishment,
He therefore made the sentence as light as
circumstances would warrant.
