THE COMPTON,


When the terms Of settlement by new
tribunal were announced, we expressed
the opinion that the result would be no
more satisfactory to the country than it
would be were President Ferry to- make
the decision. and it seems VIC wers' entire
" right. The new regime seemed to al:
ford the Democrats an opportunity to get
over barrier which heretofore had
seemed to them insupcrable, hence they
were eager for its adoption. To rcputai.
cans it promised nothing except"a peace
ful solution" but there was no need OF
that. The Democrats never meant any.
thing but hluster, end would have &C
ccpted the Vice-President's decision more
gracefully than they will that Of the Com
mission, and they would have been un.
able in any event to prevent Governor
Hayes from holding the high Office to
which he has been elected. Mr.. Hayes
has been twice chosen President and
President he will he, but not more legally
NOR acceptably Than if he had been
''countcd in" according to ancient Gus
tom. To US it seems that the creation
Of the Commission was great blunder,
and that our success through, rs media

Collins, formerly editor of a. paper In
Sioux City, .and'now occupyius the same
position on the Atlantic (IowsI Democrat,
has written. for that paper l0ng article
containing Heretofore unpublished. facts
rs to how the famous James brothers elud.
ed capture in Northern Iowa." Mr.. Col.
Inns says he went out with Sheriff Melon
AIDS party from Sioux City, for the pur.
pose Of capturing. the bandits, but he
changed his mind and sent the party on
a wrong trail, while he came up with the
robbers and offered to help the,n.to escape
if in return they would give him IN &C..
count Of the plan by which they under
took to rob the Mortified bunk, their
subsequent adventures, the biographies Of
all who had participated in the North
field raid, and such other items as would
be interesting to the public. This pro-
position struck the brothers 40 80 novel
that they INDUCED in hearty laugh, but
it was finally accepted, and Collins took
them in his wagon to point adjacent to.
the Missouri river. where they spent the
night, during which they related their
promised history to Collins, but under
solemn oath from him not to divulge II,
save under circumstances which have
not arisen. In the morning Collins
took them to the mouth OF the Lit
tic Sioux river. aided them to
procure q skill and provisions, aud
set them adrift on the Missouri. The
arrangements for travelling were, that they
should hoat along at night, and during
The day pull their skiff into some timbered
or unfrequensed nook in the river; that
af,cr'reaching Nebraska City they would
then float down the river in day time, rs
the interest IN their capture was not yet
awakened 50 fur south. The James boys
had safe transit down the Missouri, and
reached St. Joseph in just eight days from
the time Collins parted with them. Col.
Inns seems to have been as much cnthused
with the chivalrous yarns of the bandits
as were some OF the reporters who hung
npon the lips Of Bob Younger at Madelia
and EaribauIt, but excepting his version
Of their escape he adds little to the stock
Of information already possessed by the
public. Mr.. Collins is An eccentric,
harum.scarum sort of u fellow, and the
hero Of many interesting adventures, but
we 10 not take great deal Of stock In
his relation Of the escape of the James
brothers, for it is very evidently merely
an advertising dodge for catcll.penny

fact is. and widely known as it is. too many

Shooting ARRAY in Lee County.

A shooting affair occurred about FIVE
miles west of Amboy. Lee county, at the
Keefer school house, on Saturday night
last. The facts, as near as we can learn
them are as follows An old feud has
been existing between George Phinney and
John Harry, at the debating society that
was held at the above named place. In
suits and high words passed between the
two young men, when Phinney drew a
revolver land shot Harry, the ball taking
effect in the cheek just below the temple,
taking downward course, and as is sup
posed, is lodged somewhere 10 the feshy
part of the neck. Drs,Felker and Travers
probed the wound but could not find the
leaden missile. The wound is a dangerous
one, but not necessarily a fatal one.
PEinney jumped from school house window
and made his escape. At the present
writing the officers are on his track. but no
clue to his whereabouts.

The Meme Volks.zeitung.

The first number of the third volume of
the Neue Folks Zeitung was issued from
that Office yesterday, and Mr.. G. Winter,
the enterprising editor and proprietor,
may well be proud Of his success. Coming
here total stranger he established a small
but spicy and independent German paper,
which he soon after enlarged, and which is
now published every Wednesday and
Saturday. During the first few months
after starting his paper Mr.. Winter had to
contend with considerable opposition from
INSCRIPTIONS politicians in the republican
ranks, owing to the fearless and independ-
ent course he pursued upon every political
question. But Notwithstanding the efforts
of the republicans to crush him, he won
the hearty support of the Germans, not
only in this congressiona! district but also
in Scott county, Iowa. and he very soon
compelled the enemies of his paper and
policy to treat him with respect. The
Union was one Gifts most bitter opponents,
but it has at last yielded to the inevitable,
and now says:
'Mr. Winters editorial ability is very
generally recognized by our German
speaking citizens. His style is vigorous
and his arguments clear and forcible
And while we think he makes a mistake
in not identifying himself with one or the
other of the political parties and thus By
cooperation make his labors more efectual
yet we cheerfully concede his right tt
labor in his own way for the advancement
of his ideas. The Volks-Zeitung is moi
only good newspaper locally, but publish
es large amount of general news and in
teresting miscellany. We are glad tt
chronicle this journalistic success, anC
hope Mr.. Winter will continue to receive
the hearty support which his untiring in
dustry deserves"
The above must be very satisfactory t.
Mr.. Winter. especially after the numerous
attempts at ridicule and back-biting mad,
by the Union.
