A Vlllanious Assault.
About a month ago a man employed
in the shops, named Joe Hogan, bought
a suit of clothes at C.E. Wescott's, prom
ising to pay for them on pay day? When
pay day same, however, Joe Ilagan failed
to put in appearance at the store and yes
terday Mr. Wescott learned Hogan had
drawn his time, and went to see him.
Mr. Hogan would give Mr. Wescott no
satisfaction or security and Mr. Wescott
promptly garnished llogan's wages
to the amount of the debt.
This legal step on the part of Mr. Wescott
seems to have angered Hogan, who, by
the way, is a large strong man, and this
noon as Mr. Wescott was passing through
the cut on high school hill, Hogan
slijped up behind him and knocked
him down and on Mr. Wescott's attempt
ing to rise, Hogan struck him in th1
face and beat him about the head.
The scene occurred in front of the res
idence of Frank Carruth, who immedi
ately came to Mr. Wescott's aid but Ho
gan fled and succeeded in escaping and at
list accounts the officers had not succeeded
in capturing him.
, Mr. Wescott was taken to his home and
although Lb injuries were not serious he
' -was confined to his home this afternoon.

Sheriff Eikenbary left on the early
train for O'Neil City, Holt Co., where
Elmer Wart is in jail awaiting his arrival.
The sheriff and his prisoner arc expected
back in a day or two.
WELL DONE AGAIN-
Sheriff Eikenbary Traces and Cap
tures Another Cass County
Criminal.
A few days ago Shrill Eikenbary re
ceived word from Eagle that a man
named Elmer Wart had on the 23rd day
of September, hired a horse to ride, from
the livery stable of Jacob Yoder, and
since that day nothing had been heard
of cither Wart or the horse, and it was
believed Wart had stolen the animal.
Sheriff Eikenbary immediately repaired
to Eagle and learned what few facts he
could relating to Wart and his folks and
that the horse had been sold in Lincoln
for cash, and that Wart had left there
for parts unknown, with the money.
But Mr. Eikenbary was informed that
Elmer Wart's lather, Jacob Wart, resided
at O'niel City, in Holt county, and what
evidence he had and his recent experi
ence, combined with good judgement,
he decided the cu'prit must have made
for O'niel City and immediatdly tele
graphed the sheriff of Holt county the
facts and instructed him to guard the
home of Jacob Wart.
What transpired at O'niel City we
have not yet learned, but last evening
just about seven o'clock, Sheriff Eiken
bary received a telegram from the Holt
county sheriff, that his man, Elmer
Wart, was under arrest, and wm await
ing his (Eikcnbary's) arrival.
Mr. Eikenbary prepared himself for
the journey, but as it was too late for
the evening trains, he left this morning
oa the 0 o'clock train and is expected
back with his prisoner to-morrow.
Sheriff Eikeabary's record as a crimi-nal-catchor,
is one of which lie could well
be "proud, and which is a credit to Ca? s
counly. His successful tracing and
arrest of the embezzler, George Calbert,
only two weeks ago, is still fresh, in the
minds of the readers of the Herald, and
the excellent work done in tracing
and capturing Henry Shroeder to St.
Paul, a short time before, will be recalled
to Mr. Eikenbary's credit.
Mr. Eikenbary's good work speaks
well for Cass county throughout the
stat3, and certainly she can not afford to
loose such an efficient officer.
The daughter sits in the parlor, and
rocks on her easy-chair; she is dressed in
silks and satins, and jewels are in her
hair. She winks and giggles, and sim
pers; and simpers, and giggles, and
winks; and though she says but little, it's
vastly more than she thinks. Her father
goes in russet all dirty and seedy at
that; his coat is out at the elbows, and he
wears a shocking bad hat. He is
hoarding and saving his dollars, so care
ful, day by day; while she on her whims
and fancies, is squandering them all
away. She lies in bed of a morning, un
til the hour of noon; then comes down,
snapping and snarling, because she's call
ed too soon. Her hair is still in papers,
her cheeks still dabbered with paint re
mains of last night's blushes before she
attempted to faint. She falls in love
with a fellow, who swells with a foreign
air; he marries her for her money, she
marries him for his hair. One of the
very best matches; both are well mated
in life; she's got a fool for a husband,
and he's got a fool for a wife. Ex.

A LOT OF FAMOUS CRIMINALS.
The Colony of New Caledonia Better
than the Slums of Paris.
An Interesting account of tuo present
status of the notorious French criminals in
Kew Calodouia baa been furnished by an offi
cial who has just returned from that penal
colony. The most respectable, as well as tho
senior, of all tho conricts is Borezovski, tho
Pole who fired at the Kmptror Alexander 11
during tho Paris exhibition of 1807. Frequent
applications have bean made for tho libera
tion of Borezovski, but they havo all been
refused. He is now in tho island of Nou,
where ho occupies a little room apart from
all the bad characters, and has even a small
ganlon for himself. Ho roams about the
island, which is one-fourth of the size of
Paris, at his "own sweet will, and his conduct
has always been irreproachable. Ho receives
a largo quantity of newspapers, books and
pamphlets from different countries by every
mail. Uerezovski " uow anJ feeble to an
extreme degree.
' Of a different class are Gillies and Abadie,
the murderers of the Paris grocer Lecercle.
These worthies are employed as street scav
engers at Noumea, and their occupation is
looked upon by thoir companions In penal
servitude as a good one, for it Is easy, and
also enables them to pick up bits of tobacco
and various odds and ends, Including
occasional nlms. Qulchard, who mur
dered a bank messenger at Marseilles, is
doing well as a store clerk, and hopes one
day, if not to get to Australia, at least to
settle down in Kew Caledonia as a colonist.
One of tho most comfortable and thriving of
tko convicts is Fenayrou, the chemist of tho
Boulevard llalosherbes, who led the lover of
his wifo into an anibusti at Chatou, and then
murdered him in a most atrocious manner.
This criminal has passed through the various
categories until ho arrived among the first
class convicts. He has a share in a farm,
which he and his wife superintend, and he
has under his orders some- of the lower class
of criminals. His life sentence has been
commuted to one of twenty years. The doc
tor who was condemned last year for having
sent poisoned game to a colleague is giving
satisfaction, and hopes to be able to attain
the privileges accorded to Fenayrou.
On the whole, the educated criminals, even
those who are undergoing sentences for seri
ous crimes, are highly spoken of by tho trov
ernor of Noumea, and the most unmitigated
rascals are the Paris gamins and the brutish
peasants or laborers, most of whom are mur
derers. Every year a certain number of these
has to be shot down. The official who uses
his revolver against the convicts u tried as a
formality by a court martial and acquitted.
The number oi convicts Is 10,000 or more,
and thero are in addition 340 female convlct3,
who, however, were sent out to Noumea of
their own accord from tho Maison Centrale
of Paris for the purpose of marrying first
class misdemeanants. These women are su
pervised by nuns. There aro on the island
COO warders. The number of first class con
victs amounts to 1,600, and some of them,
like Fenayrou, have been allowed to send for
their wives. Tho state furnishes them with
agricultural implements, food, and even a
few head of cattle, when they aro permitted
to begin farming, and they generally con
trive to do well. Another class, apart from
all the others, is composed of skilled trades
men and mechanics, musicians, and even ac
tors. These have a savings bank of their
own, a kind of club, and are almost too pros
perous for convicts. The bandsmen are said
to bo as good as many regimental performers,
and they play programmes of select mufeic
before the governor's mansion- twice a week,
beside giving occasional concerts. From
this it will be seen that tho life of many con
victs is far better than that which is led by
thousands in the slums of Paris, and is no
wonder that, such buing the case, numerous
transgressors against the law of the land, in
cluding thoso who commit tho most terrible
crimes, should view with longing and delight
their dispatch to New Caledonia by tho clem
ent mandate of the president of the republic
