Tremlow-Gone comnleteln Sierz /,
ONLY 4 BOY OF FIFTEEN.
But He Defies the Police, the Sheriffs
and the Lynchers.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer. ]

When the east bound Burlington
train reached Hastings, Neb., this morn
ing at one o'clock. Depot Policeman
Balcombe inquired of the conductor for
a passenger named Ulysses Nelson, alias
/ George Williams, aged only I5, who
| wns wanted for robbery at Holdrege
! The conductor pointed him out and tOlC
Baleomb be that the little fellow was arm
ed with a big revolver, and that il
would be best to be careful. Policeman
Balcombe approached the boy on the
depot platform aud asked him what he
was doing. Nothing much, " was the
response. Thereupon the officer flashed
o dark lantern upon the youth, who,
without warning fired at him.
The bullet struck the officer two in
ches below the heart. Balcombe, never
theless, followed the young desperate
for two blocks and then fell exhausted.
Meantime the Police Department was
notified and the members with
Sheriff Berloss, mounted horses and
started in pursuit, but no clew OF Nelson
was found until six this morning, when
he was located in some woods IN the
southern outskirts. He was ordered to
throw up his hands by Sheriff Berloss,
but showing no disposition to surrender,
the Sheriff ordered the party to open
fire on him. Twenty shots were fred
without effect.
Officer Mitchell then crawled through
the grass to within few feet OF Nelson,
when both opened fire on each other.
Nelson received bullet in the left
cheek. Mitchell's ammunition failing,
as we'll as that of the other officers, he
withdrew. Nelson slowly crawled to the
fence, and, mounting one of the officers
horses, which had been tied there, he
rode off, closely followed by one of the
posse named Clark, who was unarmed.
Clark kept at safe distance, but kept
track of Nelson. The other officers re-
inf1rced themselves with fresh supply
of ammunition and resumed the pursuit.
When within one mile OF Ayr, eleven
miles south of Hastings, Nelson went
into corn field and hid himself.
Parties from Ayr, who had been notl-
fed started out with shot guns and met
Clark, who gave them clew to Nelson's
hiding place. Clark took shot gun and
entered the field; the corn being between
ten and twelve feet high. Getting with
in range. Clark fred load of buckshot
at Nelson, who, Indian fashion, leaned
over on the side of the horse and escaped
the charge of shot. Nelson then fired
at Clark slightly wounding him in the
right hand. Nelson's pursuers closed IN
on him, and he finally surrendered and
was taken back to Hastings. Little
hope is entertained for the recovery of
Depot Policeman Balcombe.
Nelson's father resides at Indianapo-
lis, Ind, and his mother lives at Topeka,
where the boy was raised. He has been
serving as cook on the Atlantic and Pa
cific for the past year. Nelson takes the
situation very coolly. His wonderful
nerve is wondered at. Should Balcombe
die tonight Nelson will be lynchded
The Jail is surrounded with specials.

NURTURED BY WOLVES.
Remarkable Story Found in an Old
English Pamphlet.
[From London Nature.l

From London Nature
The Zo0log5st for March reprints an
extraordinary pamphlet entitled: "An
Account of Wolves Nurturing Children
in Their Dens." This pamphlet was
printed in Plymouth in 1852 and has
long been out Of print. On wrapper
of copy in the Geological Library OF
the natural History Museum Mt South
Kensington there is the following men,
orandum in the handwriting of the late
Colonel Hamilton Smith: "This account,
I am informed by friends, is written by
Colonel Sleeman, of the Indian army,
the well-known officer who had charge
of the Thugg inquiries and who resided
long in the forests of India" The writ
er records number of cases of children
who are said to have been nurtured by
wolves in India. Iu one instance a
large female wolf was seen to leave her
den, followed by three whelps and
little boy. This happened near Chan
dour, ten miles from Sultanpoor, in the
year 1S47. The boy went on all fours
and ran as fast as the whelps could. He
was caught with difficulty and had to be
tied, ,as he was very restive and struggled
hard to rush into holes and dens.

him he became alarmed and tried to
steal away, but when a child came near
him he rushed at it with fierce snarl,
like that of a dog, and tried to bite it.
When cooked meat was placed near him
he rejected it with disgust, but when
raw meat was offered he seized it with
avidity, put it ON the ground under his
hands like dog and ate it with evident
pleasure. He would not let any one
come near him while he was eating, but
he made no objection to dog coming
and sharing his food with him.
The trooper who captured the boy left
him in charge of the Rajah of Hashn-
poor, who sent him to Captain Nichol-
lets, commanding the first Regiment of
the Dude Local Infantry at Sultanpoor,
and some intere sting notes as to the
boys habits are given on this officers
authority. He died in August, 1870,
and after his death it was remembered
that he had never been known to laugh
or smile. He used signs when he
wanted anything, and very few Of them,
except when hungry. When his food
was placed at some distance from him
he would run to it on all fours like any
four footed animal, but at other times he
would walk uprightly. He Stunned hu-
man beings and seemed to care for moth
ing but eating. If the pamphlet can
be proved to be perfectly trustworthy 1T
certainly deserves to be carefully stud
led by anthropologists.

ON TREE PLANTING.
How the Carolina Poplar Has I'M
proved Washington.

The success with one tree used in
Washington is matter of interest to all
cities where soft coal is used. The
Carolina poplar is found to be one of the
most vigorous growers and one of the
most beautiful in leaf and form. 1t is
similar to the Lombardy poplar in
shape, but the head is fuller, its foliage
is thick, and the leaves large, dark and
glossy. 1t grows rapidly from cutting,
and it is found that it will flourish even
where pail of coal smoke is thick
enough to darken the atmosphere. In
addition to these valuable if not wonder
full characteristics, it is regarded as an
anti-malarial tree because of its great
capacity for absorbing water from the
soil. Mr.. Smith has named it the
american eucalyptus" and has used it
more extensively in the lower portions
of the city, and has given many thousands
of it for planting on those sections of the
Potomac flats which have been reclaimed.
The Tree Commission have also dis
covered method of cultivating another
tree, which will flourish in Western
cities in spite of smoke, but which has
been generally abandoned ON account of
the disagreeable odor given out when it
is in bloom; this is the ailantus, which
is semi-tropical and beautiful in ap-
pearance, but disagreeable in odor. The
simple operation of cutting back the
branches every second year, thus pre-
venting 1T from towering, removes the
whole difficulty. 1t is therefore in con-

Such is the effect of the wonderful
growth of the street trees, seen from the
Capitol or other high buildings, that it
to some extent presents the appearance
of city built in forest. Many streets
are now completely arched by trees
throughout their entire length. Malaria,
once such bane to Washington, has
been materially checked and the night
temperature during summer, that used
to be almost uncomfortable, has now been
materially lessened. The unprotected
sidewalks open to the direct rays of the
sun stored up heat during the day,
which was rarely exhausted before morn

The Earth is Paradise again.

Stars natures armament with flowers.

To scent the spring; the robin thief
Chirps champion on the holly bough,
Let's sing. the winters over now,
And lovers lead beloved ones home.

Have you forgotten? Love, last year
Our springtime smiled without tear
That night when we went out and kist
The roses folded up in mist
That day You pulled the branches down
And made for me leafy crown!
To you sweet heart when sun had set
gave closed daisies, Margaret!
Ills spring againi Loves hour has come.
The snowdrop's home.
Have you not felt as yet? You will,
That wild reaction, and the thrill
OF natures resurrectiOn-day,
That comes as prelude to our May!
The Nay we've sworn to love, whose birth
Sends carols round the weary earth.
I have forgiven all; can you,
Who sent me winter, thyme and rue.
