The ARGUS OF last evening spoke of
the arrest Of John X. Bell, OF Rapids
City, for sssaulting Postmaster nrentis K.
Bowker. Of that place. The hearing
takes place before Magistrate Wivill to
morrow. Mr. Bell was in the city today,
and when seen by an ARGUS reporter
stated that he would plead guilty to the
charge. He acknowledged that he was
an opponent to Mr. Bowler for the APP
pointment as postmaster at Rapids City.
but that was not the cause OF the trouble.
"Bowker is not the man for the place, ."
he said. HE lie unpopular. and his APP
pointment was only another Of Mr.. Gest's
pet appointments and blunders. An il.
lustration Of what the people Of Rapids
City think Of him, may be shown in the
fact that not half Of the people have suf-
ficient confidence in him to receive their
mail at the City. prefering TO have it d.
rected to them at Port Byron, while
nearly everybody mail their letters on the
train. And this, ! may say, is what led
TO the trouble between Bowker and N.Y.
self. Monday night l went TO the train
TO mail some letters and other matter.
and Bowker was there with his sacks. Il
handed my mail to the railway agent, who
refused to mail 1t on the car. and handed
II 10 Bowker, and he started back to the
postoffice with 1t, instead OF putting II in
the bag there. demanded it Of him; he
refused TO surrender it, and / struck him.
It was my mail; had a right to it, as he
is not properly qualified to act as post
