From Grant County.

WHITMAN, Neb., Sept. S.--[Special to THE
BEE. Grant county has probably had Its
share OF the western boom this year and
shows remarkably advanced Improvement
in many respects. Tue hardy and irrepres-
sble granger is constantly invading the ter
ritory aud encroaching on the rights of the
heretofore unmolested cattle kings, who
have been long combined to discourage the
settlement of this county; but to no avail,
since actual test has fully demonstrated that
the soil is capable of garden vegetables and
and field cereals in paying quantities.
This part of Nebraska has long been
classed with the "arid regions,' but has be-
come incorrect, since the rainfall this season
has been equal TO many of the eastern coun-
ties, and at no time did crops suffer from
drought.
Corn Is, at present, the principal produc-
tion and promises TO yield more than the
most sanguine dared to hope for. The early
corn IS out of the way of frost, which could
only damage late sod corn.
Oats promise TO become paying crop, but
are not yet cultivated TO any considerable
extent.
This is one of the finest cattle ranges in
the west, and is admirably adapted to raising
small herds of horses, cattle or sheep, being
we'll watered by the Middle Loup and Dis
maj rivers, and numerous small lakes
Hay, which is indispensable to stock rails
ing, is superabundant, many of the fine val
leys yielding four to five tons per acre.
The county has one paper, republican in
politics, which is ably edited by Messrs.
Gerard x Cushman.
Much good government land is to be had
yet, but is rapidly being taken up Here is
grand opening for capital and business en-
terprise of all kinds.

AN INV ERONAUT.
A small Boy Gets Himself Tangled in
RalInnn.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. S.--A very exciting
and thrilling incident occurred here this
evening. Prof p. H. Redmond, an aero
naut, was to make an ascension this evening
IN a hot air balloon. Just as the air ship
sailed away skyward lad aged twelve
years, named Eddie Hall, became entangled
in the ropes attached to the trapeze. His
neck got caught in the half nooze and the
boy could not possibly extricate himself. He
clung desperately to the ropes with both
hands and by winding them around both
arms managed to save himself from falling
and from choking to death.
The balloon rose over 1000 feet and drifted
several miles away to the southeast, finally
descending, light as a feather, letting the lad
down without scratch. The boy was
frightened nearly to death, but soon recov-
cred after finding himself safely on the
earth.
Prof. Redmond did not go up at ALL for if
he had, his weight would have choked the
bog to death. When he saw the lad was
caught he let so the ropes and renamed on
the ground. The ascension was witnessed
by over 6, 1000 people. Great excitement pre-
vailed during the time the balloon was in the

was evidently intended TO provoke reaction
OF public opinion in his favor. 1t completely
failed in its effect however, from several
causes Firstly, it came too late Then
Boulanger has, since his condemnation, re-
peatedly declared that he would have no
other Judge than the nation. Now
that he asserts his readiness to APP
pear before courtmartial, it looks
as If he had less confidence than
heretofore in the judgment of the nation.
Furthermore, Bouianger must have been
aware that the hands of the government
were tied, insomuch that 1t could not, even
II 1t 80 desired, ignore the verdict of the
higher court and appoint another tribunal to
try the case.
Taken altogether, Boulanger's letter is
not worthy of serious consideration. The
brave general has no desire to return to
France before the election TO expose HIM
self to the divers personal Inconvenience
which await him when he sets foot on
French soil. All he wanted was to persuade
the simple souls among his coherents that he
was burning with desire to clear himself
and that the government refused to give
him a chance to do so. The fact that he has
recourse TO the electoral dodge proves that
he believes his position to be anything but a
good one. and that his chances of success are
daily diminishing.

Adams and party of Union Pacific officials
arrived here yesterday.
AT banquet given by the board of trade
last evening Mr.. Adams, in response to the
toast, "The Union Pacific railway and its

no conceal ment to make as TO the object of
his visit The operation of the inter state
commerce law so hampers all rail lines to and
from the great markets of this country that
he had come TO see If the business of the
Union Pacific could not be done more salts
factorily by line through Texas to the gulf

takes him. We douot and we never can forget
what he has done. The last talk General

sensitive about it. Halstead is u grumbler,
and he has never been anything else. He
has always sided with tho critical repub-

disloyalty to his party by those leaders whom
Mr.. Halstead has likewise attacked Every

A Bigamous "Bird. /"

HEBRON, Neb., Sept. Especial to THE
BEE. -"Bird" Upton, of Belvidere, this
county, is under arrest charged with bigamy.
The arrest was made on telegram from
Huron, Oak, directed to u constable at Bel
videre. Constable Kelley carried out the
telegraphic instructions and secured his
man, but the next morning Upton escaped
from custody. The Huron parties were noti-
fed, and in answer instructed Sheriff Green,
of this county, to rearrest and hold the man.
After Upton's escape from the constable, he
had been hiding in the corn fields, waiting
for darkness of night to enable him to get
some clothing, after which he intended to
start for the Kansas line, only eighteen
miles distant, hoping by morning to be be-
yond the jurisdiction OF Nebraska officers.
Sheriff Green was convinced that he was
hiding near by, and secured
posse of about six Belvidere men to
aid him in watching. About IL o'clock
Upton was seen cautiously appr oaching his
house. On being ordered to halt he ran
away as fast as he could with the sheriff and
posse in hot pursuit. Several shots were
fired to halt him, but their effect if any, was
only to spur him to renewed efforts. Finally
he fell, and before he could arise he was in
the hands of the sheriff. The district attor-
ney of Huron has been notified of the recap
ture and it is expected that an officer Will be
sent from there, or Sheriff Green will be re-
quested to take Upton to Huron for trial.
1t is alleged that Upton is the unfortunate
possessor of two wives one living in Dakota
and one at Belvdere. BY his Belvidere
wife he has a daughter five or six years old.
The Dakota wife is pursuing him with the
strong arm of the law,
