to obey their commands, and pushing the
revolver down, which was pointed at him he
was shot, the ball taking effect in the leg
making an ugly wound. The robbers then
took $3.50 and skipped. A few minutes later
another man, while at the depot looking for
the bandits was relieved Of his revolver in

FARWELL MERRIAM IN JAIL.

His Prophecies of Impending Dis
astcr Come True in His own Case.
Farwell Merriam, an old man whose whole
sale denuncations of existing things and
prophecies of coming doom have attracted
attention, was arrested yesterday on a charge
of insanity, and was locked up in the county
Jail to await hearing by the insane COM
missioners, who will meet Monday morning
at o'clock. One Of Merriams favorite pas
times has been the circulation Of printed
papers bearing a great many hieroglyphics,
which enabled him to prove to his own sat-
isfaction that silver was the coming money
and Council Bluffs the New Jerusalem. He
would expound these circulars on the street
corners, and prophesy a reign Of bloodshed
and ruin unless certain things were done.
Until about six months ago he was considered
harmless, but his talk Of late had been so
CORY hued that some of his friends called
upon Chief Scanlan and Marshal Canning to
have him locked up. They accordingly filed
the information on which he was arrested.
When taken to the Jail he said to Sheriff
Hazen: "If you take the law into your own
hands In this way [ will get my attorney,
who is true medium and a prophet, the
same as am, and revolutionize the world"
He secured the services Of George H. Gable
as attorney, although Mr.. Gable has never yet
been thought to be endowed with super
natural gifts.
