A BuIl Rum.

An angry bovine, of the masculine persua-
sion, was out on a little tear yesterday morn
ng, painting the town IA carnine hue, when
he was ''surrounded' by a policeman and
landed in the pound. He quickly became
dissatisfied with his quarters and made a
charge on the fence, scattering the boards in
all directions, ana jumping through the
breech he started down Broadway at a gait
that would have distanced Ten Brock in his
palmlest days. He was again captured by
Collector Wen and corralled in the rear of
Justice Barnett's Office. He repeated his
battering performance on the fence and was
as successful as before. He dashed down
Main street with his tongue lolling out and
his caudal appendage elevated at an angle of
forty-tive degrees, breathing forth anon
mutterings of distant thunder that failed to
convince the frightened ladies and children
on the street that the storm was very far of.
He circled the court house and Jail three
times in a futile search for Sheriff O'Nell,
and finally disappeared down the Ninth street
motor track in the direction of Manawa. 1t
is surmlsed that he had heard of the lakes
advantages for dog fights, and wanted to Ego
them one better"

An Organ

The music loving citizens of the Bluffs will
have an opportunity to avail themselves of a
fine treat Thursday evening, August 80, at
st. Francis Xaviers' church. The occasion
will be the opening of the splendid new pipe
organ, and an excellent programme is being
prepared. The concert will be under the
auspices of the Catholic choir and no pains
will be spared to secure the finest talent OBJ
tainable in the twin cities, and make the
affair a grand success in all its particulars.
Mr.. Will Gratian, organist of st. Paul's, and
Mr.. w. G. Marshall, of All Saints, Omaha,
will preside at the organ. The celebrated
boy choir of st. Paul's will take part in the
programme, as will also the church choir,
assisted by Mr.. l. M. Treynor and other well
known vocalists of this city and Omaha.
Tickets will soon be placed on sale in all
parts of the city. Reserved seats will be sold
at 81, and general admission 50 cents. The
organ is a grand instrument and the wonder
full effects produced by it cannot fail to please
even the most critical. Much curiosity has
been expressed to hear the organ. and there
is no doubt that the large church will be
completely filled on the %eventful evening.

A Slick Young Fraud.

Some time ago a young man registered at
the Bechtele as H. p. Ray, and represented
himself to be an agent for the New York
Sportsman. He made himself known to sew
eral horsemen here and secured a number Of
subscriptions for that journal for one year.
A few days since one of the subscribers re-
ceived a letter from the home Office of the
paper stating that "Henry Palmer'' had sent
in 81 as a quarters subscription from said
subscriber, ana the same amount from others
in the city, and asking as to Mr.. Palmer's re-
sponsibility. 1t now develops that Ray and
Palmer are the same one, and that one a
swindler. He told the parties here that the
regular price was 81 per year, but the club
rate 50, and secured quite a large club. He
sent in 81 from each for a quarters subscrip-
ton, dropping $2 into his own pocket. He
made a neat little sum and departed for
greener fields. The case will be looked up
and the probability is Mr.. Ray, alias Palmer,
will soon be sweating in the county cylinder
for obtaining money unoer false pretenses.

Yesterdays business in police court was
the lightest Of any Monday morning for some
time. Two boys, Henry Smith and George
Cameron, were booked for vagrancy. They
left Chicago some some time ago and started
out to shear the wild and woolly west, but
they found the wool too wirey and it dulled
the keen edge of their butcher knives. They
strolled into the Milwaukee yards at a late
hour Sunday evening, after a walk OF
twenty miles, and had barely fixed their
''shake DOWNS in q box car when a hard
hearted policeman came along and ordered
them to tumble out" Shortly afterwards
the patrol wagon dashed up and they thought
their last hour had come. They were very
thankful to find themselves in the police sta
ton q few minutes later. The court gave
them some good advice and recommended a
change of climate. They promised to get
back to the Garden city with all possible
speed and were released.
John Evans was charged with the larceny
of a dinner pail from one of the night hands
at the transfer. For several nights past the
workmen have missed their midnight meal
| on account of some l~ightfingered pilferer,
and informed Depot Policeman Quinn, who
| set q neat little trap, into which his darkey-
| ship quickly tumbled. Evans is the coon who
| recently stole a couple of blankets from the
stables at Union park. His case was con-
tinued until the necessary witnesses could
be secured.
James Brown was charged with keeping
open a disorderly house on Sunday. Brown
is one Of the saloon men who thought that
they could monkey with the prohibition buzz
saw seven days in the week, contrary to the
strict orders OF the mayor. The latter gen.
tlcman thought that he would show theiu

to Chief Lucas TO trot each and every

How He BECAME a Cavalry Omccr.

The last Army and Navy Journal con
tains n very interesting sketch OF Cen
eral Phil Sheridan. In this we find,
for the first time. the true history OF
sheridan S appointment to the nn"cition
OF colonel of the Second Michigan cav
airy. General Gordon Granger had
beef inc colonel, but his promotion to
the grade of brigadier general Of volun-
teers made n vacancy, and the governor
Of Michigan was called upon to make
the appointment to fill the vacancy. AS
the General Hawkins mentioned was
for many years Il citizen of Omaha, the
statement as published in the Army
and Navy Journal possesses an addi-
tional interest to his many friends in
this city, we give the account in full us
published:
The direct relation between Sheri-
dams experience in Oregon and his
subsequent career is shown by the state
ment we receive from one of his class
mates at the academy, John i. Haw-
kins, brevet major general United States
army, and late major general of volun-
teers, now of the subsistence de-
partmet, United States army. General
Hawkins says: The Second Michigan
cavalry, under Colonel Gordon Gran
ger, joined the army of General Hal
leck before Corinth, 500 after the bat
tie of Shiloh. 1t was n part of General
Pope's command that had just accom-
plished the capture of Island No. 1O,,'
and was now brought from there to as
sist at the capture of Corr nth. Granger
then had knowledge that he had been
appointed. or was soon to be appointed,
a brigadier general Of volunteers, and
was therefore to release command of his
regiment. He acquainted me with the
circumstances and said that the appoint
ment of his successor was virtually in
his hands, and that he wished to have
an officer of the regular army to sue
ceed him, and asked me to take his
place as colonel Of the regiment when he
vacated. In answer l told him my army
experience had been almost entirely us
an infantry officer and that ! would not
like to incur the responsibilities of II
cavalry commander, but that a proper
person for the Second Michigan would
be Captain Sheridan, of the Thirteenth
infantry, hen serving in the quarter
masters department ut Halleck's head
I quarters. | told him what | knew of
Sheridan, that he had been in command
of mounted troops in Oregon, and as
such had been mentioned in orders by
General Scott and praised for his gal
lantry. Soon after this conversation
with Granger, Sheridan was appointed
colonel to succeed him, and there can
be no question but that it was
done agreeably to the recommendation
and by the influence of Granger, and on
account of Sheridan's record in Oregon,
as shown forth in General Orders No.
Ia. This communication is written for
the purpose of showing how the
events of 1856 determined those of 1869,
and Sheridan himself probably I'VE
| knew how much that order had to dc
with his appointment. The circum-
| stances as narrated may also serve as an
encouragement and IN incentive to the
young officers of our army, and impress
on them the fact that good service has
always a good chance for ultimate recog'
milton and reward

A citizen dropped a IS gold piece through a
grating in front of the Boston Tea company's
store on Main street last evening and the
loser requested permission to go down cellar
and get it but the clerk who was present
refused it. Chief Lucas was appealed to and
his services secured. He demanded hat the
door be opened, and when the clerk refused
was about to kick it in when the door was
unlocked. The clerk then insisted that the
man was a tramp and had lost no money,
but the chief knew better and went to the
cellar, where he found the sinner. The
clerk doubtless intended to pocket it him
self. He was too cowardly to knock a man
down and take his money but would stoop To
worse than sneak thieving,

Will Stay.

Rev. G. w. Crofts returned yesterday from
Colfax, where he has been recreating. THE
BEE sought out the reverend gentleman to
learn how he viewed the call from Kansas
City for him to become pastor Of a church
there. He said he was not ready to make
public any views in regard to it, but what
dropped out in the course of the conversation
indicated that there was little probability OF
his accepting. HIS church here is united,
and there seems no good reason for his re-
signing his pastorate here. In view of all the
circumstances he will doubtless hesitate
greatly at even considering "A call elsewhere
at all favorably. The Congregational people,
and in fact the community at large, will
doubtless bring so strong a pressure to bear
for his retention here that Kansas City will
call in vain.

depo.. The plaintiff charges that on the pre-
ceding evening the defendant kicked him
from the depot platform, while he was bar
gaining with a woman for the removal OF her
trunk. He says that he was not ordered OF
the platform, or he would have moved away
without any trouble. The probability is that
the hacknan was out of his place, and that
the policeman presumed a little too much on
his authority and emphasized his orders to
''git' with a cowhide persuader.

castigation is not known.
