"A gentleman from Beaver Ridge, IN
this county, came to the city on Thursday
in search of COW that was stolen from his
premises several days before. He describ-
ed her as in a tolerably good condition,
giving considerable milk, as she was taken
from young calf. She is red and white
spotted with the tip OF the right horn brok-
en- off and the stump turred down, and
short tail, about eighteen inches long. 1t
is thought that she was brought down here
and sold, as too many have been before of
late.
john Harris, the man who was cut by
the negro Verge Hays Wednesday night,
has been lying at his home on Seventeenth
street IN much agony since he received his
wounds. He is man Of family, having a
wife and SIX or seven children alive, whom
he barely supported by constant
hard labor He is not desperate character,
but is quarresome and, when drunk, is a
hard case. Yet it appears that on the night
of the cutting he was not intoxicated and
gave no reason whatever for assaulting him.
Officer Wins, who visited him late last
night, reported him to be apparently at the
point of death, his hands and feet having

giving strong evidence of near dissolution.
The raid made a few days ago by
Chief Myers and Officer Olmsted upon the
African cyprians of the lower portion of
the city has been most satisfactory in its

before, nightly out door revels, in which
these wretched creatures figured prominent

A ring of gigantic proportions has just
been revealed in the treasury department,
right under the nose of Mr.. Window, which
has stolen thousands of dollars from the
United States Government. The ring was
discovered some time ago, when Secretary
Window was conducting his Investigations 3
and the investigation was stopped and the
report of the committee was suppressed by
Mr. Window himself, as soon as he saw the
corruption which existed in his department
The so-caled investigation has turned out
just as the BULLETIN prophesied that il
would when it first began, and just as Re-
publican investigations always turn out.
Green Republican officials prosecute their
investigations, in the hope of proving that
the party in power Is honest, and when, as
is invariably the case, they come upon a

old republican carcass, they hide it from
