AS the driver of a Vance street car was
proceeding along the track, in the neigh
borhood of fernando street, late Tuesday
night, he found a large log had been placed
before the wheels of the car. The obstruc-
ton naturally caused him to descend, and
no sooner had he done SO thar two or
three men jumped out from the shadow
OF the trees, and went through the cash
box, meantime intimidating the driver and
his passengers into silence. The robbers
got away with about s. or Sl0-the latter
amount is the more probable.

Nelson Dwyer was taken before Judge
Hadden yesterday morning charged with
killing Bill Lucas. According to the tes-
timony of Gus Connolly, in the preliminary
examination before Judge Hadden this
morning, he and Lucas were standing to-
gether on Causey street when Dwyer came
along and spoke a few words about a wo-
man. Dwyer then passed on, but in a few
minutes returned, and as he approached
Lucas suddenly drew his hand from his
pocket and the next instant was fighting
with Dryer. The witness states that Dwyer
grabbed Lucas by the coat and CAV him a
prod in the breast, after which they got in
the street and he saw Lucas slashing away
at Dryer. The men her separated.
Dryer had no hesitation in making a
statement, and claimed he acted in self
defense. At the hearing yesterday morning
he was fined $50 and bound over to the
DbdtC iCdI IllClC lllSLlO DO q lAISii,

Sheriff Cannon's fight toward Tennes-
see with the two quacks is attracting on
siderable attention. He telegraphed that
he would be in Kansas City yesterday
evening and in Memphis this evening.
He also sent instructions to have one of
his deputies meet him at Kansas City,
from which it is safe to infer that be has
succeeded in retaining "Drs." Reeves and
Turner. Meanwhile the authorities of
GAINESVILLE are watching him, and the
Tobacco Leaf, of THAT place, says: 'Thet ten
acity with which Sheriff Cannon, of Shelby
county, holds ON to his prisoners, Drs.
Reeves and Turner, at Council Bluffs,
Ia, and the determination to bring them
to Tennessee and to justice, shows that
gentleman to be an officer who can be
trusted to do his duty under all circum-
stances. For weeks he has been away
from home, in the Northwest, fighting
inch by inch his way to Tennessee with
his prisoners. If he keeps his health, and
no unforeseen interference happens tc
force him away from Iowa, it is safe to pre-
dict that Reeves and Turner will be landed
in Tennessee. The people of GAINESVILLE
will never forget Sheriff Cannon"
