4 Black Rascal Who Failed to Re
ceiSe lG.

EDITOR ZINES You have already pub.isE.
ed the TACT that the house OF one of our most
quiet ard respectable citizens, a widow, liv.
ing alone with her two dau ghters, was en-.
tered by a black man who secreted himself
in the closet OF tne young lsdy's sleeping
room. where, by the merest chance, he was
found by the mother between IL and O'Clock
at night. The screams o: both Put him to
Il, .ht and he escaped as he entered, through
a window opening upon "A low roof. He was
recognized by both as a man named Mop
pin, who had cone work for them in the
summer 1t is found that this man is an Old
criminal, that he has been guilty OF indecent
exposure o: Lis person, and of chasing and
frightening young girls.
One OF our dIugeis found him prowling
about his preini.es and warned him that If
he caught him there again he would shoot
him.
With this record, 1t is probable that this
midnil Int attempt would have ended in n
horrible tragedy had not the mother, a hard
working dT.Ssmaker sewing until midnight,
gone To her is ugh tsrs room for a garment.
Now behold how justice deals with crime!
NJ IN II Inc protector OF woman. He sits In
high places. and the innocent have but TO
appeal TO him tor protection.
On the second day of the trial, IL having
been deferred by Moppin's ambitious Dung
lawyer, the man WAS sentenced to pay a fine
of slO0 for ''vagrancy and being found under
SUE pic Gus circumstancesw
Great heavens, An Englishman's horse is
his castle; but our Louses may be invaded at
midnight by notorious criminal and he
only found Guilty of "vagrancy and being
found under suspicious circumstances"
Who is sale under such an administration
Of lave
Is evident that the reins Of the Police
ecu need 10 he held by younger and more
V aorOus hands and the lawyers stand occu-
piei by older and more discriminating
brains.
Indignation u general st the result of this

dec are that a ballet through the he art would
have been a proper punishment for such
criminal. ard Ia this every honorable man,
white or o. lck. would concur.

Railroad Plans In Butler County.


We now have a proposition from the Gar
rison roat which sounds lIse business, and
We think III At now is the appointed time for
action. Tney offer TO build two lines across
the county, making in all eighty five miles
of railway, for the sum OF $50 90 in county
bonds and 81, 90 in local aid. We are cer-
tain the proposition will carry on the terms
the com pany now OfferuY. Mr.. G.. Lowe,
VINO has Just returned from III Dorado, in-
formed US that the Garrisons Will agree to
pay the expenses OF the election If they fail
TO build on time The time which they asS
TO complete the road To Douglass being one
year from the date Of voting the bonds, and
in sixteen months 10 have the Ii DUraro
branch completed. Ii We cannot carry bonds
in any other way, II might be well for the
county to assume all the township bonds
now Outst inding, and thus make ~ n county
Indebtedness, provided we can carry aid to he
amount asked for the Garrison proposition.
This will give Augusta her Rad at the eX
pense of the county, and Will also give rail-
roads facilities TO all parts of t-e county f,
with an equal distribution of tae indebted
ness. By this plan, our county would have
three distinct lines of raj wBv through IL at
an expense OF less than three thousand dol
lars 10 the mile for each mile 20 he built
Let us consult together and cone To an un-
derstanding.

BADLY GOred by n Bull.


ON last Friday evening Mr.. b. f. Adams
met with a very dangerous accident at his
home north of town. Ii seems that he was
watering his bull in the stable from buck
ct, and had lOosened the animals rope that
1t mig Int reach the water. At that moment
the bull became furious and making a.plunge
at Mr.. Adams ran its horn into his chest be-
tween the ribs and tossed him over its head,
landing him on his back. 1t then made an
other attack which Mr.. Adams repulsed by
kicking 1t in the face. He then managed to
get to the house; how, he does not know.
DIR. Mckenzie was Immediately summoned
and dressed the wound as best he could. and
at last accounts the Injured man was doing
very well The animai's horn entered Just TO
the left Of the center of the chest, above the
nipple, and tore out to the lett and upward.
displacing three ribs from the breast bone.
The Internal injuries We're very severe and
the bloO foweu very prOfusely. When We
colled on MIR. Adams ruesday night, although
not entirely out of danger, he was resting
very well, and We hope Within a few weeks
to See him around again.

The Chippewas aud Muncies Want
To Move.


lostdNd
1t will b, remembered by the early res.
idents of Ottawa, that an attempt was
made, a few years since. to locate the Of
tawa' or Mo-co-h qua band of Indians,
from their reservation west OF this city, TO
the nation and that in fact they were re
moved, by a Company of United States
soldiers, and IL will also be remembered that
before the soldiers could get back, the Indians
were again on their lands, in Lincoln town
snip.
But IL seems that what the government
cannot do, the Indians conclude to do Them
selves. In the woods of the Msrias des
Cygnes, few miles above here are located
two bands OF remnants respectively of Chip
pewas and Muncies They are industrious
and reasonably prosperous, but on account
of a very natural desire 10 live in close prox-
unity TO the great tribes OF the nation, they
have concluded TO maze oveTtures 20 the
by which they can locate in the Territory
As part of tbs programme the two bands
have recently sent agents to the nation IN
lOOk over the country, and find q suita BILE
location. Mr.. Ignatius Caleb. for the Muncies
and Ed. McCOOns for the ChIppewaS. went
down on this mission; and from Mr.. Caleb,
who was in the city TO day, a Republican
reporter learned these particulars. The
emissaries were delighted with the country,
their people to come down The National
Department has been CO nmunicatet with
upon the subj ect. and II Is prOoao that We
shall lose our Interesting Dei .hbOrs.
