Outlaws Break Up a Dance and Dangerously
Cut Three Men.

Lawrenceburg Special, 22d.
A terrible affair, in which three men were dan
gerously stabbed and one mortally wounded,
broke up the midnight dance which was being
enjoyed by about fifty neighbOrs at the house of
Fred. Flaggers, situated on the Lawrenceburg
and Guilford pike, about three miles and half
from this place. 1t was we'll advertised through
out the country, and one Alexander Holland was
employed as ticket-seer. day before the
affair Holland was approached by one Albert
Neibrandt, n notorious outlaw and cut-throat,
who was refused ticket. Nebrandt then and
there declared his intention of being present
and said he would cut and shoot his way through
If not permitted to attend.
So, last night about l O'Clock, as the merry
dancers were in the height of their pleasures,
Niebrandt, in company with Steve OHern and
Jim sherbal, who had been il town and pro-
vided themselves with a jug of whisky, and had
well filled themselves, presented themselves at
the door, and at the same time pulled revolver,
and assured the inmates of the house of their
intention OF entering.
Bill Holland, the door-keeper, taking in the
situation, invited Them in, and assured them that
they were perfectly welcome. As soon the
men entered they began raising a terrible racket
and Nlebrandt, the leader of the gang, told his
partner, O'Hern, to shoot anybody that inter
fered.
O'Hern, after receiving a command from Nei-
brandt, walked up to George Holland and dealt
10
a powerful blow, knocked OHern to the flOOr
and then the fight began in earnest. AT this in
slant some unknown person carried the lights
from the room, and left the gang in darkness
The terrible result of that dark and bloody fight
was only too evident when the light again
brought in There lay three men, John, Bill and
George Holland, bleeding from painful and dan
gerous wounds, inflicted with large knives at
the hands OF Albert Neibrandt and Steve O'Hern
After the cutting, the two wOnld-De murderers
were allowed to escape, although fifty men were
there, but in all the crowd no one had the cour
age TO resist them, so completely had they sue
ceeded IN terrOrlzing them.
The wounded men were taken to their homes
and DIR. Collins of GufOFd, summoned To attend
them. AS soon Dr. Collins had examined the
wounds of George Holland, who was worse in
jured than the other two, he dispatched mes
senger IL Lawrenceburg to have the officers ar
rest Nelbrandt and O'Hern the charge of
murder, stating that George Holland could not
possibly live. The other two, John. and Bill
Holland, will recover. AS soon az word reached
here, Officers FRANK Griffith and Jasper Slater

SEYMOUR, Sept. 23.-At o'clock last night a
freight train on the o. & NJ. railroad was wrecked
two miles west Of this city by the breaking of an
axle. Several cars were completely demolished.
The track was made clear at 4 O'Clock this
morning, and two passenger trains that had
been detained here left within a short time of
each other. At the exact scene of the wreck
the rear passenger train dashed into
the one it was following, COM
pletely wrecking one coach and
a sleeper. Several passengers were injured;
none fatally. AS the injured departed lmme-
dlately, names could not be learned. One lady
had to be extricated from the debris with saws
and axes, one man had leg broken, a small
boy was seriously injured about the head. The
aeineer, Larkin Phipps, of the rear train, was
fatally injured. The last accident was probably
caused by Phipps, who was running his engine
at a high rate of speed, while the order of botn
engineers was to run slow until the scene Of the
wreck was passed.

The people stampeded Immediately and

The last two legislatures of Dakota
have considered and rejected PROPOSE
tions to print the session laws in the
of the territory. The sx-
pense of the undertaking has been the
chief cause of its defeat. But the sub.
iect is liable to come up again this win
ter and the newspapers are discussing it.
The Chamberlain Register is Of the
opinion that "the people would not read
the laws thus published; that if any man
had case arising under the law he
would not depend upon the newspaper
publication for his knowledge Of the law !;
that the newspapers would get supple
ments from some large publishing house
for nominal price and simply fold the
supplements into their papers and col
lect their bill; that the tendency is to
start too many new papers in Dakota,
and this would only add another un.
healthy inducement."
To this the Sioux City Journal adds
the following:
The Register might we'll add another strong
objection. which is. the great expense to the
treasury of the territory: The economical and
the more effective way Of informing the people
is for the territory to furnish the laws to who
ever may apply for them, sending out to ooun.
