THAT GERMAN LETTER.
MIR. Faul, coroner of Pottawatta-
ME county attacks the reporter of
The BEE quite severely. We do not
intend to discuss the matter with Mr..
Faul. 1t was very unfortunate that
anything about the suicide should
have ever got lost and when it is said
that the letter that had 10 name to it
vas the only thing by which identi-
f~ication could be established we sim
ply say that the mans slippers, hat,
coat, pantaloons, vest, watch chain,
revolver, all these articles were found
on his person, and Mr.. Faul has them
or Mr.. Morgan buried them. The
letter that we stated that got mis-
placed was not the German letter but
the one that he wrote to
THE BEE at Omaha in re-
gard to saving the letter.
All we can say to the ron is this:
If the people of this city believe that
he thought the reporter of The BEE
was editor of or reporter for the Ger
man paper of this city, and was at
his house ON Sunday soliciting items
for that paper, why did he como to
THE BEE office, fetch the letter and
dictate an .%.article to 90 into our
local column, and call the next day
and request us to telephone and tell
them to save the letter. Mr.. Faul
says that nothing is left to identify
this man. He has in his possession a
revolver; there was found the mans
hat, coat, pantaloons and vest. We
say in conclusion that we are sorry
that this all happened, and also sorry
that the Nonpariel, which had Adam
Forepaugh throw ON the canvas these
words, "The Nonpariel is the best
paper in the west" should, for the
miserable pittance of two pounds of
honey, allow its columns to be used
to villify the character of one who is
Obliged wholly to depend upon the
confidence of this community for the
support of himself and family.
THE BLUFFS IN BRIEF.
Our city yesterday presented an APP
pearance much like that during the
rebellion. Early thirty-two brave
old veterans came in on the North
western from Harrison county and
fifty more joined them here from that

be entertained by Abe Lincoln post of
this city in a most cordial and liberal
manner. The Logan troops and gun

Rather n strange occurrence took
place on Broadway in the vicinity of
Kiel's hotel, yesterday. Quite an old

young man, John Vernon, stepped up
to him and struck him on the head
with a brick and then tried to make
his escape. He was overhauled by
Officer Cusick, after quite a chase.
When arrested n rock was found on
his person. The wound made
on the mans forehead was quite a Sc
we're one. The man could give no
reason for his conduct. He will have
al examination this morning before
Esquire Burke.
