various charitable Institutions which have
had him 9RseXhibitiOn. He always liked to
be admired. and gave unmistaken evidences
of his enjoyment. In 1856 he was a feature
of the Northwest Sanitary Fair in Chicago,
where tho quilts which he occasionally shed
were eagerly bought for - each. The same
year he held forth as the chief attraction at
the Milwaukee Soldiers Home Fair, where
his pictures were sold blythe thousands. In
1866 he was at the Soldiers and Sailors Con-

campaign that fail, held forth in several
politicSl' torch-light professions; he helped
dedicate the soldiers monument at Peoria,

the Soldiers and Sailors Convention at
Chicago At this time soldiers reunions
became common throughout the West, and
his presence at such gatherings was always
considered as essential as the old flag itself.
In 1870 he signalized himself at the Army
of the Tennessee reunIOR in Madison; in
1873, at the Grand Army reunion in Chicago,
and throughout the Centennial he was a
leading character, admired by the people OF

RECOVERING.

John Cassell, of Bowling was in the
city, this being the first time he has been
out since he had his leg so severely cut
while working in the field about six weeks
ago. At that time he was blowing, and in
some way the horses became restless and
got loose from the traces, when Cassell was
thrown against the point of the cutter and
cut his leg fearfully-infact he nearly bled
to death before assistance reached him.
Since that time he has been confined to his
house until day, when he came here on
business. His wife accompanied him. He
is very weak yet and has his leg bandaged
and is obliged to have his pants leg cut
open at the side of the knee. 1t was a
close call, and only his grit and good nurs-
ing saved him.

GOMEZ GRIEF.

The Davenport Democrat has an accoun
of the capture of horse thief, over in tina
city which is certainly creditable to the
men who effected the fellows arrest L
appears that yesterday morning a man
| drove up to the livery stable of the LeClairt
Brothers on East Third street, Davenport
and offered fine horse for sale. The lie
Claires examined the animal and judged
/ him to be worth 1925 at least, and were
astonished to have the man offer it foI
$4,000, and seemed little anxious to get
rid of it at that
He went away, and soon returned with a
young woman, asking her, Are you will
ing that | should sell the horse for fifty
dollars?" And the woman said, II will
have nothing to do with it," and walked
away.
So the livery men telephoned to the
police station to send an officer down; soon
officer Garland was in the stable, and in a
few minutes the horseman was at the police
headquarters. He said his name was Phil
Ups,
who had come to the city with the prison
Grand she told him her story. She said
that her name was Wilhelmina Coxe,-that
her parents lived in Ottumwa, but that she
met the prisoner first on Thursday or Fri
day of last week at a boarding house in
which she worked, in McGregor: she W as
introduced to him by another GIRL he pro
posed that they journey together to
Davenport and he would take her home
proposing to treat her just right. So she
started with him-and they arrived in
Davenport last Tuesday and put up at a
boarding house on Fourth strickland that
very day he left town. and she hadn't seen
him since, until he returned this morning
and wanted her to go with him to consent
to the sale of q horse. She said that he
had told her that his name was Merrill
Rice, and that his parents lived i'll Peoria.
When the prisoner was searched at the
station, letter of recommendation, of
Merrill Rice, dated Burlington, December
%, 1879, stating that 1.-The bearer, Merrill
Rice, had been a fireman on the Burling-
ton, Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad
since August 9th, of this year, and has
served the company faithfully and well, :"
signed by John T. Grey, Chief Engineer
and Superintendent, and Thomas Hedge,
President-was found in his pocket.
Philips, as soon as he learned of the cons
ference with the girl, told officer Garland
that he had bought the horse from man
at Lettsville, seven miles from Muscatine,
and that he now believed the man had
stolen the animal Chief Kessler did not
believe the yarn and by judicious telegraph
ing has probably found an owner for tue
horse.
The girl denies being marrid to Phillips
and says she knows nothing of his anteced-
ents; that he had promised to marry her
and until his arrest sine had no idea that he
was horse thief.
