SALTWATER GLOBOLES.

Mr.. Chas Esterbrooks is recovering
slowly from the effects of his recent in
iuries.
Detectives Bresett and O'Connor, accom-
panied by Officer Varies, visited this city
yesterday.
Assistant Superintendent Hobart, of the
Omaha road, was in the city yesterday
looking after the business interests of his
company. He left on the $3.50 afternoon
train.
Miss Winter, who came here from Iowa
hoping to henefit her health, was buried
yesterday. Her funeral took place from
her former home, and was conducted by
Rev. Mr.. McClary.
The suit of A. K. Doe, formerly county
treasurer, against the county having been
decided in favor of the complainant, the
county commissioners at their present
session have instructed the county attorney
to appeal the case to the supreme court.
The job of doctoring the poor is to be
let to the lowest bidder, or more properly
to the physician bidding the least, the
commissioners reserving the right to reject
| all bids. This city, the town of Saltwater,
| and the poor farm is the territory under
| the jurisdiction of the physician who re-
| ceives the contract.
A load of straw was dumped into the
street yesterday in consequence of the
| upsetting of the sled. The owner went to
| work like a man and reloaded his sled,
never losing his temper, but when the load
went over a second time within a short
| distance of its destination the man very
naturally got wrathy and swore that Still
water was nothing but hills and hollows.
He will bring no more straw to this city
until spring.
| On Thursday evening as the section
hands on the River Falls division of the
| Omaha road were returning from their
days work and had reached Elliot's cross
ing, their hand car was struck by the
engine of an outgoing train. The men
seeing their dangerous situation saved
themselves by jumping from the car, the
latter being utterly demolished. With
the exception of a sprained ankle received
by Mr.. Egan, and a lame leg for young
Burrows, no serious injuries were received
by the hands. It was fortunate es-
cape all round.
The young ladies who reside with the
different families in this city as assistants,
| sometimes called servant girls, have
instituted sort of protective union among
themselves. They hold their meetings on
Saturday afternoons, sometimes at one
place and sometimes at another. At their
! gathering, green girls are instructed in re-
| 4rx - l..
they shall perform; also the number of af-
ternoons each girl shall demand for her
self. In fact, everything of interest to
these domestic laborers is talked over and
settled among themselves. The young
lady who divulged the proceedings of this
society may rest assured that the GLOBE
will not give her name away, but the facts
are as stated above.
| Yesterday the pretended deputy sheriff
made his appearance in the city again. 1t
is possible the follow may be crank, but
he manifests considerable cunning in beat
ing his way through the world. After his
arrival here on Wednesday he visited
pretty nearly all the colored people in the
| city, under the pretence of searching COR a
colored man who, the impostor claimed,
Hdu SIo1oH SOAno uoHoy 1rom Hln. IL may
| be stated here that one of the colored
people who was visited by this chap
states that he has fresh cut
on the back of his neck.
On Thursday be made his appearance
at the house of farmer some three miles
from town. He told the farmer that he
was guard at the state prison in search
of two escaped prisoners, and desired
lodging for the night. His wish being
gratifed, in the morning he hired young
man to bring him to saltwater. Here he
| fell into the hands of Chief Shortall. On
being questioned as to his late proceed
ings, the fellow, whoever he may be, had
the hardihood to enter general denial to
everything he thought could in any way
jeopardize his liberty.
