Wild Beast and the Wounded Man
Sad End of u Soldier.

Sau Emu Oh ~ SOiuleF.
Detroit Free Press: just as the sun
went down we came upon the camp of
the hostiles and charged it without n
halt. The Apaches were taken by sur
prise, us we hoped to take them. and we
ran them for two miles up the narrow
valley before the bugle recalled US.
We thought we picked up all the dead
and wounded as we returned, but when
the roll was called at the campfire Cor
poral Smith of 'B" troop was missing.
There were comrades who had ridden
beside him in the fight. but none who
had seen him fall. The night had come
down pitch dark and we could not search
for him. We could only hope that he
had become separated from US in the
wild dash and would sooner or later
make his way into camp. If he did not
come before morning we could then
solve his fate.
A mile and a half up the valley as
night came down, a soldier, wounded
and unconscious, was lying at the mouth
of II ravine leading into the foothills.
1t was II ravine here gloomy and forbid
ding, with II rill OF water creeping
along its rocky bottom. Beyond the
foothills, as it drove its way into the
grand old mountain, il was ii canon. so
full OF gloom ana awe, and always so
quiet, and with such n chill creeping
out of the darkness, that n strong man
chained to one of the rocks would have
lost his reason and become n chattering,
shrieking maniac in II day.
The wounded soldier is Corporal
Smith; when the night had fairly settled
down he slowly opens his eyes aud looks
up into the ~bluckuess. Where is he?
What has happenedY His thoughts
are confused, and it is several minutes
before he works out the problem to his
wi satisfaction. All, yes! tie was pur-
suing with the column when n woulded

all alone. His woundY He moves his
arm and the pain makes him gasp.

when at the wedding of n of her

committing himself to either u consent

Suspcnded Hostilities.

The war between Kimball and Champ and
the men who are turning up in all directions
claiming to have been swindted by them
took a recess yesterday. No new informa-
tons were filed, and the victims OF the prose-
cution were allowed to spend the Sabbath in
peace. The condition of Mr.. Champ, who
was too ill TO be taken from his house
Saturday night, was I'M
proved, he being able to sit up a little while.
Kimball, on the other hand, was completely
worn out by the worry and exposure to
which he had been subjected, and is now sick
in bed.
In addition to the criminal cases which
have been commenced against the two men,
a civil suit has been commenced in the dis
trict court, IN which one Jones. a
farmer living east of the city,
is plaintiff. He mortgaged his farm
to Kimball q Champ to secure a loan, and
the mortgage was foreclosed, A. r. Clutter
buck being appointed receiver. Jones claims
tho amount realized from the sale OF the
farm was $500 more than enough to pay off
the indebtedness, and he demands a judg-
ment for that amount, together with $1,000
damages for the wrongful detention of his
property.

ABOUT ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS INVOLVED,

ABOUT ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS INVOLVED.

A writ Of attachment has been fled in
Justice Swearingen's court against Milfred
IL. and Ethel s. Searles by creditors, who
aliege that the defendants are about to re-
move their household goods from the state
and thus defraud them. Tho plaintiffs in the
case are +. w. Spelman 81 Co. aud Z. 5.
Nunas. Both are merchants doing business
on South Main street. They are creditors OF
the defendants and want to secure themselves
against loss II possible.
The writ was served by special Constable
Wesley late Saturday night after they were
packed ready for removal and the goods Will
DC held by him pending an order Of court In
the case. -
A few days ago Mrs. Searles commenced
divorce proceedings against her husband in
the district court, charging him with cruel
and inhuman treatment, and asking for the
custody of her two children. 1t is claimed
that this was only a "Oluf,n and that the
real intent Of the couple all along has Deen
to get away from creditors. The only object
of the suit, So allege the South Main street
merchants, was to lead them to think
that troubl in the Searles family
forced an abandonment OF the city and Il de-
lay on the part of the Scarles to pay their
dcots. This is what led to the present pro-
cecdings, Messrs. Spelman and Nunas
claiming that the divorce suit is only a blind,
aud that Mr.. aid Mrs. Searles intended 10
get their possessions out of the reach of Iowa
courts, and then go to living together again
in some more congenial locality. The amount
involved is about 800.

Amdayits Filed.

The injunction suit of l.. w. Tulley's
against the Anglo-American Mortgage ~
Trust company was to have had a hearing ip
the district court Saturday, but by agree
ment it was postponed until next Thursday.
A number of ahidavits were filed by the de-
PENDANTS in support of a motion to dissolve
tho injunction which now prevents theboard
of directors from holding a meeting. One of
these was signed by James N. Brown, the
Vice-president of the company, and in it he
denies a number OF allegations made by the
plaintiffs In their petition. He claims that
the meeting which, according 10 the plaintiffs.
had not been called in accordance with tho
provisions of the bylaws, was called proper
ly, he himself having given the required
notice to all of the directors after j. Nc
Dowell, the secretary of the company, had
refused 10 DO so. He claims to have personal
knowledge that the notices were mailed in
due form.
John =. Breen, the Omaha attorney for the
defendants, also files an affidavit in which
he states that he was present at Il meeting of
the company held in the Murray hotel in
Omaha, at which l.. w. Tulleys, j. V. Nc
Dowell, Il. III. Walters, and tho defendant j.
n, Brown made a proposition to j. Gardner
Clark, who was representing the eastern
stockholders, looking towards a settlement
of tho controversy. The terms of this pro-
position were in general that the good will
