ami his hired ltian started from
home to remove some old lumber.
They had (o pass over sum' ground
which formerly belonged to Law
rence Stull, but which has leen
condemned by the county commis
sioners and a road ordered opened.
From reports, Vandevetiter and
Stull had some trouble last spring
and have not been on speaking
terms since.
While driving along yesterday,
Stull appeared on the scene and
stood in front of the horses, com
pelling them to stop. Vandevcntcr
Ordered his hired man to drive over
Stull if he wouldn't get out of the
way. This the hired man refused to
do, ho Vandeventer took the reins
and started the horses himself.
Stull then made for Vandeventer
with a club. Vandeventer pulled a
revolver and fired a shot, as he says,
to scare Stull. but it failed to work.
for Stull still kept coming after
him. lie opened tire a second time,
the ball eiiteriiiir Stull's rii'lit arm
and passing on into his body.
Stull then ran away from tile seen".

vicinity an. I nndcvctilcr surren
dered to him. The revolver was a
.'iS-'.-alibre.
Dr. T. 1'. Livingston was sum-
inoiied and dressed the wound, but
is yet has been unable to find the
bullet. .Mr. Stull was not hurt so
liad but what he will recover.
The preliminary bearing was set
for 1 o'clock this afternoon, but the
county attorney made a motion to
dismiss the action on account of
the complaint having been sworn
out before a notary public. Judge
Archer sustained the motion and a
new complaint was made out and
andeventer re-arrested.

The big barn on Frank ( iiithman's
farm, near Cedar ("reek, burned to
the ground last night. I'cter Kyle

of farm implements were burned,
besides several tons of hay, some
corn and other material. The barn

and before htlp could reach it
everything was destroyed. No in
surance was carried on the barn,
and as to the stock Tun IIkkald
was unable to learn whether
it was insured or not. The origin
of the lire is a complete mystery.
TWO BAD CIRLS.
Nellie Holland and Sybil Warren
Picked Up by the Police.
Nellie Holland and Sybil Warren,
a couple of 11-year-old girls, were
rounded up yesterday by Officer
Adams after a hard chase from
Twelfth and () streets to the rear of
the Apple-gate block. A complaint
had been made by Mrs. Holland,
who lives at 1121 X street, against
her daughter for running the
streets. The mother is a widow and
formerly lived at Crete. The
oaughter is a brazen little thing
and considered her arrest a great
lark. She is straight on the road to
hell, having made a good start a
year or more ago. She is a grand
daughter of the founder of Crete, of
a good family, and should have
been sent to the reform school long
since, as no maternal restraint over
her is possible. The Warren girl
has been stopping at 12S O street
and is tiot so hardened as her com
panion. Her mother lives in
I'lattsiuouth and is well known to
several Lincoln people.-Lincoln

Rev. Thos. Dixon, Jr., now under
bail pending trial on charge of li

Koch, preached yesterday for the
last time during the summer
months in New York. As a prelude
to his sermon he made a statement
of the facts regarding the case, anil
in conclusion said:
"11 it be true that the life of a min
ister of the gospel is not safe who
dares seriously to attack Tammany
hall, then, in the name of Almighty
God, it is time the world knew it.
Hy birth, tradition and association
as a southern man I am a democrat,
and I voted that ticket four years
ago. Democracy, I learned in my
old state, meant honesty and integ
rity and decency. A southern dem
ocrat cannot affiliate with Tammany
hall without first lowering the
standard of his manhood and sell
ing his soul to the devil.
"I take oci asion to warn the na
tional democracy that Tammany
hall is a load it cannot carry longer.
Hefore the party comes before the
nation to win another victory it will
have to kick Tammany out at the
back door and turn on the hose
pipe. After trying to damage the
state of New York they come sneak
ing home from Chicago, saying they
will support the ticket. They lie.
They come back with honor on their
lips, treachery in their hearts and
knives in their boots. They will do
as they have done before and spend
another four years in trying to lie
out of it. The difference between
the present regime of Tammany
hall and that ol its founder, William
M. Tweed, is the difference between
the ethics of a bunco steerer and a
highway robber.
"If the slippery godchildren of
William M. Twicd believe they can
intimidate this pulpit let them take
due notice-they have made a mis
take. T. L. Murphy departed this morn
ing for Wyoming.
