The GLOBE gave an account yesterday of Al
exander Nelson's loss of 1926, which he de-
clares was stolen from him by Humford, the
gambler. Fast upon the accusation and to
give color to it, Nelson was approached by
friends of Humford's with inducements to
leave the town, not prosecute, etc. Several of
the hangers.on around Cooks saloon, when it
was running, were cajoling Nelson with soft
words, all day yesterday. Johnny Cook, Black
Luke, Slippery Dick and their gang were doing
the agreeable, with frequent references to- NAV
be Nelson's folks at Moorhead might want to
see him, and quick. But Nelson sobared up
and wouldn't invest in their taffy.

A Barn in Flames and Two Horses Burned
"A Fireman Injured.
At half-past one this morning bog Is sound

was located in the rear of No. 60 West Seventh
street. Steamers Nos. and responded and
also the hose and hook and
ladder companies. As the fire was sur
rounded by infammable material the fremen
gave especial attention to prevent its spread
ing, and it spite of stiff breeze which was
blowing they were successful, and were es-
pecially fortunate in saving a large barn be-
longing to James Mayall.
The most serious loss was the burning of a
valuable stallion belonging to VIM. Reese, an ex-
pressman, and a horse belonging to Charles
Hamp, baker. A new shed owned by J. A.
Schmidt, driver of engine No. J, together with
a load of hay. .-.,.s...- -.
The loss on the barn was from $3.50 to 5000

was about $50. ".
The fire was undoubtedly the result Of in
cendiarism, which suspicion is streng thened by
the arrest of two tramps, who were caught
prowling about the building by Officers Bremen
and Wlllimovsky. One Of the men was sober
and gave his name "as John McDonal Upon
being searched $40 and pocket full of matches
were found upon his person. They were locked
up to await examination.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
A Bullet Pumped Into Mans Leg as Ell.
is Returning Home.

A Bullet Pumped Into a Mans Leg as He
is Returning Home.
shooting affair occurred in the Sixth ward
Friday night, and the man who carries the
bullet is mystefed about it. His name is
Cornelius McNellis, and he is an employe at
1.-THE bankrupt shoe store on Seventh street"
a few doors east of Jackson. Residing in West
st. Paul, after working hours, say about 8
o'clock, he started for home. Just across the
bridge, when he got opposite the brick saloon
over there, he was shot, the ball taking effect
in the calf of his right leg. The wound didn't
disable him, though painful, and he got away
from that locality as fast as he could limp. Mr.
McNellis says the report sounded near at hand,
and to the right and front of
him. He half believes the shooting
was done deliberately, though not with the in
tent to harm him, as he knows of no enemy
that he has who would wish to harm him.
More than likely Mr.. McNellis was mistaken
for some other party, and the shot intended for
him found lodgment in McNellis' leg. From
the nearness of the report, the fash of the dis
charge almost being seen, McNellis doesl't
think he got the bullet from an accidental or
careless discharge of pistol. The purpose Of
the shooting couldn't have been for robbery, if
the Intention was to shoot McNellis, for he is
we'll known in West St. Paul as hard working
young man, With little beyond what he earns
The indications are that an assassination was
attempted. but who was to have been the VIC
tim of the cold blooded and dastardly attempt
is mystery. Fortunately the wound received
by Mr.. McNel]is doesn't incapacitate him from
work, though be has to hobble around ON it.

and fortitude. During the next day the In
dams kept up an almost incessant fire, killing
all of our animals but fourteen mules, but do
ing no other damage. We were uninterrupted
on the night of the 30th, but after that tim
the enemy gave us no rest. During the night
short range, and one man of company F, Fifth
cavalry, shot through the face. The guard for
the water party returned this fire with effect,
killing one Indian. On the morning of the
"a Capt. Dodge and Lieut.. Hughes, with COM
Pany ID. Ninth cavalry, came into our camp,
adding materially to our fighting strength, and
bringing the welcome news that our couriers
had gone through safely. I cannot express in
too high terms my appreciation of the gallant
ry OF these brave officers and men, and it is
peculiarly gratifying to know that they
have received the praise which such
courage richly deserves. Col. Merritt, with his
com mand, after march which has no parallel
reached us this morning, and were received
with hearty and prolonged cheers by my gallant
men, whose patriotic fidelity and courage were
thus speedily rewarded by rescue from great
and impending peril. I can find no suitable
words in which to express my admiration for
the officers and men of my command. Their
conduct is beyond all praise. They were eal-
liant under fire, patient during suspense, and
confident through all. It is my greatest pride
to have commanded them, and know that one
more page in the glorious annals Of American
soldiery has been illustrated by their valor
DoDaE's REPORT.
General Sherman has received report from
Capt. Dodge, corroborating in detail the
published account Of his recent march to the
assistance of Capt. Payne and his command.
The report is endorsed by Gen. Sherman as fol-
lows: II, of course, commend in high terms
the conduct of Capt. Dodge and his gallant
company of the Nineteenth cavalry. To 90
with all expedition to assist any of his fellow
soldiers then in imminent danger, was his duty,
but the successful accomplishment was none
the less honorable. Gen. Pope has himself hon.
ored the officer and his command by general
order, and do not exactly understand what
further honors he wants the government to be-
stow. Capt. Payne, of the Fifth cavalry, and
Adjudant Cherry. of the Seventh cavalry, are
entitled to equal notice and public honors, but
the laws of the government of the United
States do not give power to any military yu-
perior to reward substantially for an act of
heroism and glo,y. all officers and soldiers in
this expedition have done admirably, Just as 1
knew they would do, and they have been uni
versally applauded by all officials and by the
country. Other rewards must await the fu-
ture." The secretary of war adds to the re-
port the following Endorsement: 1.-THE con-
duct of this young officer is worthy of the
highest commentator"

CAPT. PAYNE's REpnRr

At dark large body of Indians charged
down beyond Gordon's burning train, deliver
easily and fled, suffering the loss of several
warriors, who were distinctly seen to drop
from their saddles. During the night our dead
animals were hauled off, a full supply of water
for twenty-four hours was procured, the
wounded were cared for, entertainments were
aug, and by daylight the corral was in good
condition for defense. Couriers were sent out
with dispatches at midnight, and general
feeling of confid nee inspired the entire COM
mand. Ammunition and rations were dist,ib-
uted in the several trenches, and felt that
sense OF security for my command which
sprang from knowledge of its gallantry
