few of us, but enough to do the work if it were done quickly, and we could pass through the Federal pickets. We reached point LOGO yards south of where we thought your picket line was, and I was sent forward alone to locate the line and find some place through which we could pass. walked along freely until l thought I ought to take some care, and then 1 dropped to my hands and knees and went that way for while. 1t was so dark 1 could see absolutely nothing. All ut once I struck dry bush and snapped a stick under my knee at the same time. And then a rifle shot came from picket not twenty yards away and my right arm was broken Ly the ball. The fellow had fired at the noise and made a good shot. It alarmed the guard, and our third attempt to blow up the bridge was a failure. Were you there then?"
 "Yes," said Wyman. q am the man who shot you. I never sa " you, but I heard the moving of the bush and the breaking the twig. After l shot you walked straight to the right for about ten yards and then ran back for your command" <"
 That l did exactly" said the Southerner.
 We found your tracks in the sand the next day. I did not know 1 hit you. I am glad 1 did not kill you, and Pm mighty glad to see you"

HE IS VERY ANGRY.
Don M. Dickinson's Reply to Senator
 Vest and Others.

The Detroit Evening News of the 9th publishes an interview with Don NJ. Dickinson, replying to the strict ures of Senator Vest and other free silver men us to the alleged corrup- ton of the late Democratic State convention by office holders. Mir. Dickinson denies that Mir. Stevenson (Dickinson's law partner) or any body else issued any circulars to office holders in connection with the convention. Through free silver Hen were put in all the offices of their districts and ill both county and State conventions outnunbered the others two to one. According to the law, he says, the places of delegates could not be filled by proxies, as stated by Mr. Vest The l6 to men never had a majority of the delegates elected and the talk of the use of money is "pure and unadulterated islander and libel"
 If any money was used, says Mr. Dickinson, it was in behalf of free silver syndicate, organized and ex- isting outside of the State and fur nishing money to carry on the cam paign in this State. In conclusion, he says:
 "I am proud to say that the party in this State is properly represented by its delegation to Chicago, and is in favor by an overwhelming major ity of maintaining the pledges of the Congress on this question, made whenever there has been silver legis- lation, since 1873, that the policy of this government is to maintain the parity of the metals. Our party will not favor repndiation in any form or take any chances of fayoring a policy that by any probability would lead 10 repudiation. The Chicago convention will not favor the policy of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to l."

FOR BLIZZARD AND DROUTH
 STRICKEN NEBRAsKANs.
Twenty Five Families Want to Locate in Balmy Arkansas, Where Blizzards and
 Drouths Are Un-
 known.

A GRAPHIC reporter had the pleas ure his morning of meeting Mr George Barkus, q real estate man of Gheight0n, Nebraska, who is in the city and county prospecting. Mr. Barkus represents twenty-five Ne braska families who want to leave the drouth-stricken lands of that in hospitable cline and emigrate to balmy and salubrious Arkansas where the soils are fertile and pro ductive and drouths and blizzards are unknown.
 In talking with our reporter this morning Mir. Backus expressed him. self as much pleased with Arkansas in general and Jefferson county in particular, and said that if he could find available and acceptable farm ing lands in this county for these Nebraska families he would locate them in this State.
 That is the kind of immigration that Arkansas most needs, and we hope Mr. Barkus will find what he wants in this county.
