4 GREEN ISLAND EXCITEMENT.

Attempt to Burn q Hotel In that Burg
Brief Sketch Of the Circumstances Con.
nected Herewith.
Yesterday morning about eight o'clock
an attempt was made to burn the Cheatham
hotel at Green Island, Neb., just across the
river. There are many rumors in %circula-
ton and report says that Mrs. Cheatham the
former landIady is an implicated party.
The fact as far as we Gao get them from dis
interested persons, are as follows:
Some time since, the Cheathams, being
tired of hotel life, made . trade with Fred
Calvert for his farm in Dixon county, Neb.
Deeds Of title to the property we're mutual.
y given, 60 that Calvert became the owner
of thehotel property. Calvert also gave
Chatham enough live stock or other prop
erty to enable him to assume = small mort
gage on the farm. The Cheatharas went ON
to the farm and remained . short time, then
returned. By the terms Of the trade they
we're to give up possession of the hotel Oct.
LIST, and MI. and Mrs. Calvert came on to
take possession, but BY that time the Chsa-
thams had concluded they were worsted in
the swap. and refused 10 move out. The
reason outsiders give for their classification
Il that Dixon county had once fallen into
hands Of the Sioux City railroad sharks,
had voted bonds enormously to bnild the
Ponca marrow guage plug, which bonds are
valid against Dixon county. and the taxa
ton for which, has caused property in that
county to be worthless compared to simila,
land in Cedar.
Mr.. Calvert began . suit in ejectment te
get possession of his hotel, and it is Sale
that the hostile landlady threatened 4
make things hot for them. Calvert though
it best to owatch out for mischief, and b
new considers he has sayed his property b,
"a doing. On Tuesday morning, while tn
south wind was blowing gale, N,
Chsath.m and son was away in = field, hi
daughter in Yankton, and only the Calvert
in the house, with the landlady, Calvsr
ssys that he saw her carry papers and otks
combuStibleo into Q small nook or unfinish
cd part of the house, used Is q storsroon
for rubbish. BE soon opened the door sud
denly and found = quantity Of burnin
material such ~ coffee saeki. buffalo robe
&C., with the candle used In lighting it. d
sid, IT have caught you now" and Mr.
Cheathan escaping from the room, went q
stain and began packing up her articles
save them from the FIRE. Calvert raised q
alarm and brought ip help enough to TO
the flames, which had already taken . goo
on the lathed wall. Had the hotel burns
in that wind nothing could have saved Ii
barn, James Mash's store, Bailey,s shop
and perhaps even the school house. Thss
