Nebraska City People Indignant
Over Recently Discovered Case.
NEBRASKA CITY, NeD., Sept. IT,
(Special.)-A case of extreme cruelty to a
child has just been reported In this city and
has aroused great indignation. AS yet moth
ing has been done to punish the parents who
are said to be guilty. The family live in
the west part Of the city and have a boy
who is of unsound mind and frequently runs
away from home. Neighbors say that for
this offense he is punished by his parents
with terrible beatings. Some Of the neigh
bors have at last warned the father that
this must stop. 1t is said the whippings
have been so severe that the childs cries
could be heard for blocks. 1t Isl likely steps
will be taken to place the child in some
institution where he will receive kind treat
ment.
July 4. during row in the saloon Of
George Gunz, some one stepped behind the
bar and made way with box containing
$S5. Yesterday the police arrested Doc
Thompson, a well known horse DOCTOR for
the crime. The officers assert that they
have sufficient evidence to convict him. He
was bound over in the sum Of 5000 to appear
Monday for a preliminary hearing. Not be-
ing able to furnish bond he is in Jail.

Fighting over n Grocery stock.

BEATRICE, Neb, Sept. H.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The Pittinger stock Of groceries,
which was taken charge of by J. e. Cobbey
Saturday evening for parties to whom Pit
finger had given chattel mortgages, was
taken charge of today by Constable Ashen-
felter under a writ Of replevin issued in
favor Of Raymond Bros. Of Lincoln. The
third mortgage on the stock was in favor Of
Raymond Bros, but that firm now makes

writ. 1t is now believed that the Indebtedness
will far exceed the assets.

A meeting Of the De Nolay Mounted Com
mandery of knight Templarswas held last
night for the purpose Of disposing by vote
of the question OF that commandery's atti-
tude as to the crca ton of grand command
cry for the District.
Two Communicates, the Columbia ana
Orient, had already voted for the passage
of resolutions agreeing 10 send delegates
to a convention Of representatives from the
several Communicates of the District and
on the vote of De Molay depended the sue
cess of the grand commandery.
Resolutions, agreeing to send delegates to
meet those from other Communicates and
to sustain grand commandery, wereftnally
passed by narrow margin. 1t is now
thought, after the action of De Molay, that
both Potomac and Washington Command
cries will indorse the action Of the ma
jority and enter with them into the prep
arations for the selection and installation
of grand commandery officers. At the last
grand encampment, after the rejection OF
the proposition to hold all future conclaves
in this city, after the one in Pfttsburg In
1898, q proposition was submitted to raise
funds for the purpose of greeting temple
here, for the preservation of the archives
and records of the order. The proposition
was rejected then, but now that grand
conimandery is TO flourish, the project VIII
be revived and strongly supported by the
local Knights.
