were talking about trading horses in front Of De-
gen'sbutcher shop one evening. Riordon came
along and finding crowd there, ordered them
TO dispersc once, Dick says, but the crowd not
leaving, Dick claims that Rordan violently seized
him, dragged him away and thrust him in the
cooler" Shuler thinks Dick was not drunk
and not noisy, talking in his common tone oil
voice. Rordan says he warned the crowd away
twice with an interval of several minutes apart
then seeing that they attracted crowd that
forced ladies' of the walk he told them to move.
Shulcr did so. but Daily gave back talk, loudly
and profuselv, and told him to arrest and be
id" He did arrest. Daily was liberated III
half an hour by the Mayors order.
CHARGES AGAINST RIoRpAN.
alderman Murphy sworc to having hunted for
Riordan several times when he was supposed TO
he on duty, but could not lind him, but also adj
mitted that he was not on all the streets and al
lcys of Riordan's beat
THE RATCHELDER BURGLARY,
when Invested Of its blood curding head lines,
turned out sadly weak. The old gentlemen had
lost dollar bill, which had slipped through a
hole in his vest pocket into the lining below,
where it was found-only this and nothing more
GENERAL CHARGES.
One night there was fuss in front of Smiths,
and George Forbes and Thomas ThOrnc took Il
walk around two or three saloons for the police
and didn't find any! From this Nattinger con-
cudcs the police were not on duty!
Dr. Hopkins related long story about the ar
rest of Molly Mcguire, which excited his SYM
pathics but as it was over year and half ago,
under former administration, and fully explain
ed by RiOrdan, it is not worthy of space here
Charges of police congregating in body at the
Opera House and at the Clifton Hotel were
equally thin, and altogether the whole prosecu-
ton was Il species of bascless gucss-work, with
the exception of bringing out the fact that Nat
finger and McCay, the county jailor, seemed,
from their own testimony, to have formed part
ncrship to get the reward for an escaped convict
arrested for vagrancy, and as Riordan spoilt
their little game, Nattingcr "squealed' and
placed himself in very uncnyiable light before
the public Altogether the investigation so far
as the police and marshal were concerned,
amounted to nohing,-cXcept what was exceed

The StrcatOr Fire Press records Il curious Grct-
ma Green affair which tack place at Long Point,
near that city, few days ago. 1t seems that Il
young man and maiden loved and would wed, a.
Young men and madcns are accustomed To do
all over the big, round globe, but the girls pa
rents opposed the match, just as many other pa
rents have lruitlcssly done in the past Finding
that they could not be won over to consent, the
young man, with mutual understanding with
his sweetheart, no doubt, went west to seek his
fortune in Kansas. Now the young man had Il
father who thought his son good enough To be
any girls husband; SO this winter he interested
himself II little in the matter, and an elopemcnt
was arranged, but with this difference from the
way those affairs are usually managed: The old
gentleman was To run away with the girl. The
time came, and in the darkness of a stormy night
he went to the house the girl was ready, and ac-
by one Of his own daughters the three
set out for Kansas, where the waiting lover was
To meet the party and claim his bride. No doubt
ere thi, the silken cord has been tied, and in a
little cottage out on the western PLAINS happy
bride laughs as she thinks how she clopcd with
her husbands father.
