A SMALL WAR.
Two nations once went to war over q
basket and thousands of lives were lost
and millions of money expended. This
same spirit has been exemplitied on a
small scale at the little town OF Denton,
a few miles from Lincoln, in this
county. Two small girls became in
volved in n dispute over an insignifi-
cant peg such rs all school houses have
upon which the children hang their
hats and cloaks. The parents
took up the battle and at the
close u warrant was issued
for one of the parties, and the fun COM
menced. A citizen of that village in
this city yesterday said that the first at
tempt OF the local officer was unsuccess-
full, and that posse was then formed
comprising eighteen men, all able
bodied, who surrounded the place, and
after the battle had ragged for time the
house was stormed, and that clubs, hot
water, furniture and shot or two were
fired before the offender was captured.
The whole ueighborhood is now await
imp the trial.
UNHAPPY ZION.
The troubles in the Mount Zion Bap-
tist church (colored), of this city, had
advanced yesterday to a trial in the
county judges office, where dark
cloud a great deal larger than q mans
haud hovered through the day. The
ex-pastor of the church, Rev. Peter
Buckner, who has been debarred from
preaching by his flock putting new
lock on the front door, sued the church
for back salary and cash advanced on
the church building during his admin
istration. The salary Of tho pas
tor was nothing eXtortionate or
his part, it being, according te
his testimony, fixed at SO cent:
n month for each of the thirty people
comprising the membership. He
claimed a great part OF this meagre
salary rs delinquent, and that the church
owed him some Sl50 advanced on tho
building. 1t required frequent ad
monitions of the Judge during the
hearing to preserve order and decorun
| in the court, and the case late in the
| day was yet in an undecided condition

DR.. Gerth, of the live stock com,
mission, does not favor the bill in con-
] gress for doing away with the bureau O.
animal industries and to create
presidential commission to take charge
of that important branch OF the govern
ment. Under the law creating the live
stock commission in this state, the com
mission is authorized to cooperate witt
the national bureau and the two have
worked in harmony. DR.. Gerth is OF the
opinion that doing away with tn,
board OF animal industries would be in
furious TO Nebraska, and that an EXPIRE ;
