A Stabbing ARRAY.

E. H. Roberts was stabbed in the left
side last Friday in a quarrel with man
named Bemis near the stock yards at
Avoca. Bemis had been abusing Mr..
Roberts for some time, using all sorts Of
violent language and daring him to get
off his horse. Roberts endured it as
long as possible, and at last got down
upon the ground and made pass at
Bemis, when the latter lodged the blow,
and with common pocket-knife struck
Mr.. Roberts in the left side, about
inches below the nipple. The blade
penetrated its full length, enteriag the
lower lobe Of the lung. Mr.. Roberts
was brought to the city and DR.. Van
Dyke summoned, who, in probing the
wound. found it to be about three inches
deep. but none of the yitals had been
seriously injured. Very fortunately.ffor
Mr.. Roberts the bleeding from the
wound was principally external. and at
present writing we are glad to say M.
Roberts is all right again and out upon
the streets. No arrest b. 8 been made.

in Williams county last week from the
vicinity OF School creek, southeastern
Nebraska, and have settled in the Hoff-

brother OF James French. who located
near Hofflund about a year ago, and Mr..
Mitchell is a son-in.law of Eugene Corev.
who has claim near Uncle Joe Parrett' g
place, in the same neighborhood. We
understand that these people are bnt
the forerunners of quite large immigra-
ton expected from southeastern Ne

welcome, and can truthfully say there is
plenty Of room for all who may come.

The Graphic cheerfully hastens to cor
rect the erroneous impression create Il
by it's article last week relative to the
''Deseritur." The context of that brief
notice would naturally lead one to be-
lleve that Clint. Hedderich was sole
owner of the little yacht, while the fact
is that Thos. r. Forbes owns an equal
share in the craft That fact, however,
will not deprive Tom of the responsible
position he will hold on the official board
of the boat, nor will it detract in the least
from his general urbane conduct toward
his old friends whom he may leave be-
hind on this brief pleasure trip.

There is a horse that helps draw an
omnibus from Lawrenceburg to Green.
Vile, Ind, every day whose earlier days
were in sharp contrast with his present
life, says the New York Journal.
When he was young the horse was
on stage route through Yellowstone
park. He was so swift and SO handsome
that the. government bought him Tor
troop horse.
The animal saw much cavalry service
and soon gained distinction because OF
his speed and endurance. He was stolen
by an, Indian, and for three or four
years was ridden without a saddle.
Then Col. E. d. Bannister recovered
the horse. Part of one ear had been
shot away and an Indian had cut on
a part of his tongue because his neigh
ing had betrayed the hidden savage.
For years the horse did duty about
the Rosebud agency Then it was sold
to Ike Mullen, a cowboy, who was killed
in drunken brawL Then the horse
was sOld 70 IL trdutT, anu dlteA cAahS
ing hands many times it found its way
to Lawrenceburg. 1t changed hands
many times and was bought by George
Lowe last week and put to work oD
the stage route.
Ever SO many people laugh at the old
animal with one ear and disfigured
tongue, but after they learn its history
they look upon him with respect.
He is 20 years old, and, notwithstand-
ing his age and the experiences he has
passed through, the horse is still strong
and active. A bugle or a shot will make
it prick up it's single ear and fire will
show in its eyes.
