United States Court.

Judge Dundy Tuesday night sentenced
W. III. Holden, who had pleaded guilty Of
stealing registered letters at Ainswortb,
to imprisonment until May 8, 1885, in
the Minnesota penitentiary at Saltwater.
Benjamin f. Silvettee, who pleaded
guilty of having used the United States
mails for unlawful purposes, in offering
money for rare coins which he did not
intend to give, was also sentenced. But
9 nsmuch as he had been confined since
April 18th the imprisonment was set at
ten days.
There is an end at last to the Nellie
Peck case In this court. The last move
waslast night made by Judge Hull in be-
half of the Waterman McI1atfie. 1t will
be remembered that the Lass mentioned
some time ago brought suit to recover
wages. The case has dragged heavily and
last night the confirmation of the order
of sale was made. AS a consequence,
the boat will be sold on next Wednesday
at C%ovington: Judge Hull as appeared
as proctor In the suit and brought 1t
through tedious moves to a successful
close.

That Nuisance Case.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me to correct
your statement of yesterday-Thomai
Gibson was not fined 90 and costs neither
was ne convicted of keeping a nuisance.
1t was proven clearly that no nuisance
existed at his barn. Marshal Cummings
testified there was no smell there, mol
was the alleyway INSTRUCTED. But the
city attorney brought forth a new ordi.
nance mot In the compiled ordinances,
which forbids manure, ETC., to be thrown
in the alley n remain for forty-eight
hours, under penalty of two dollars to
twenty, without reference ..to a nuisance
existing-under this ordinance Gibson
was fined two dollars. And now / would
advise everybody owning a stable to look
out. But few know of the existence OF
such a law.
But, sir, there is something wrong that
every tax payer docs not know the lawi
existing in u city.
The Ordinances ought to be published
in every paper in the city. The papers
publish the council proceedings free but
a fund should be appropriated for pub.
fishing the laws as they arc enacted and
every paper be paid a reasonable com
pensation, according to their city circu
lation. No tax payer would complain o.
such an expenditure to post him In the
laws by which we arc governed.

DISASTROUS CLOUD BURST
Three Hundred Feet of Union Pacific
Track Washed Away ~
Bushnell,
Cheyenne Sun, July Is.

Cheyenne Sun, July Is.
A disastrous cloud burst occurred a
Bushne Il, a small station on the Unior
Pacific railroad, about fifty miles east
of Cheyenne, on Sunday morning before
daylight. The admonitions of rain which
existed at this city were but the scat
tering edges of a most terrific storm which
ragged for an hour eastward. The great
est down-pouring of water seemed to be
at the point named, and the fluid decend.
ed in a literal torrent against and on the
bluffs near the track.
The result was that a flood of mighty
proportions anne rushing down, sweep
ing everything in its course. Three
hundred feet of track, including four
small bridges over dry runs, was carried
away, and q huge excavation made.
The disaster effectually blocked travel
that way. Train No. 3, due here at
1910 on Sunday was abandoned, and
train No. 2, eastward bound, went out
over the the Denver, and thence around
the ''branch" by Sterling.
Train No. l arrived via the ''branch"
route at 9:15 Sunday night. 1t was
loaded to the utmost CAPACITY with the
double c%ontingents of No. 3 and Its own
passengers.
superintendent Duell and a strong
corps of men left on Sunday morning for
the scene of the washout.
Supt. Duell returned from the scene of
the difficulty last evening. He stated
that the damage extended over a distance
of three miles and included three wash
outs instead of one, as above reported.
He had worked sixty men almost contin-
uously since Sunday morning and the
first train passed over the track at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The track
is now 30 that there will be no further
trouble. When the road bed is repaired
it will be better than ever before.

he was ordered to cash up to the extent
OF S7,55, which being unable to do, he
was consigned to the county Jail.
James O'Neil, John Quigley, Thomas
Reed and Mike Kelly, were arrested
while asleep in a box car of the b. & M.
company. They were each sentenced to
ten days in the county Jail on bread and
water for vagrancy.
Willie Gray, a colored man, was
charged with throwing rocks through the
window of a store at the corner of
Eleventh street and Capitol venue He
pleaded not guilty, but upon
the testimony of a couple
of witnesses he was fined $40
and costs.
H. r. Jallaby, was charged with dis.
turbance of the peace. He pleaded not
guilty and his case was continued.

THE HUFF HURRAH.
Another Side to the Row at h Cor
mex of Fourteenth and Webster.

MI. Charles Hollo called at the BEE
oficeyesterday andputs adifferentphaseon
the row which occurred Monday night at
the house of Huff, corner of Fourteenth
and Webster. 1t appears old Huff was
pretty we'll saturated with fighting whis-
ky and when he reached his home, a two
story building on the southwest corner,
he went up stairs and proceeded to make
kindling wood of his furniture. The
racket was too much for the Hol-
10 family, who occupy the
lower floor of the house, and Hollo, the
head of the family, went up stairs to see
what the disturbance was about: He
was hustled down stairs by Huff and
warned to keep his corner. The second
time Hollo went up stairs Huff fell onto
him and gave him a thorough pounding.
The teamsters Case and VIM, who hap
pened by, instead of helping ''the under
dog" In the fight, patted Huff on the back
andtold him to give it to EN-" When Mrs.
Hollo interfered the teamsters turned on
her, beat her severely and dragged her
down stairs and locked her In a room.
Huff finally tired of the humping and
one Of the teamsters TOOK q neck-yoke
and was about to finish Hollo when the
latter pulled his revolver and ordered
him to lay it down, which he did. Hollo
was badly used up in the fight and the
doctors say he will be confined to his
house for the next six weeks. One leg
was broken in two places and his Intervals
were severely Injured. Young Hollo has
sworn out warrants for the assailants and
proposes to prosecute them to the full
extent of the law. III ese are the only
warrants sworn out, 40 says Hollo.
