large white aprons, white silk kerchiefs on the
shoulders, and pretty white caps. The hair
was heavily powdered. The gents wore knee
brooches, long stockings and low shoes, patfed
shirt fronts and high collars The hair dress

were ushered into the parlor the powdered

veloped firm determination to have a part

The refreshment table was nicely arranged
with fruits, nuts, candies, cakes, ice cream,
&c. In the centre was large Martha Wash

ranged Il 'ronnd table talk, or ''the old
ladies' at tea, - but the time passed so pleas.
antly that this "new feature was forgotten
until so late an hour that the ladies begged to
postpone the performance.
Merry games, jokes and animated coniab
kept the quests until after two O'Clock, when
all retired, expressing gratitude for very
pleasant evening.

Sayerses demanded admittance, which
was refused. They then proceeded to
batter in the door. Peters fired into
the air to brighten them, but in re-
Spouse two charges of buclSshot were
fred through the door, both taking
effect in Peters body. The first tore
away large part of the flesh from his
right leg near the thigh and the other
shattered his arm. They then kicked
in the door and assaulted Peters, beat
ing him into insensibility. A lad in the
house was ordered to leave aud was
compelled to go without his clothing.
He ran two miles, reaching Plummer's
hame, and gave the alarm. The lad
was nearly frozen, his feet bleeding and
torn. Neighbors were notified and they
started for the place, but the Sayers
boys had left. A later dispatch says:
Constable Nicholson's posse surprised
the Sayers boys in shanty near the
Missouri river, several miles from the
scene of the shooting. They We're
heavily armed, but surrendered when
they saw the game was up. They were
lodged in Jail in Council Bluffs, coming
in on freight train from Island Park.
