What People Are Doing and Saying
Around the Town.
THE CAENES JONES SQUABBLE.
A Decidedly Mixed lp Case. WUUh Will
ConUc of Several Chiptt rs-Other
Local Affairs In and A round
the Town.
The First Chapter.
The first chapter of the Jones
Carnes squabble was disposed of in
police court Monday afternoon. It ap
pears that the tight, which ensued over
in the Third street cut, was the sequel
of another -seance" which occurred
over at the Jones mansion, near tlie
shops.
The Jones family have been living
in a part of a large house owned by a
Mrs. Hucklebone, and, wt- l a lew
mouths ago, the other part of the place
was occupied by a family named Mills.
When the latter moved out some of
their household effects were left in
the house, and the key was also re
tained by Mrs. MilU. This key was
turned over to the Carries' by the for
mer tenant, and they proceeded to
move in last Saturday, against the
wishes of the Jones'. Hot words are
said to have ensued between members
of the two families. A number of wit
nesses for both sides were on the
stand, but the testimony was de
cidedly conllicting. City Attorney
Ilavies being absent from town. Judge
Archer was compelled to act as pros
ecuting attorney and judge at the
same time. lie admitted that he was
unable to make "head or tail7' out of
the case from the testimony given,and
accordingly dismissed the proceedings.
The Stroud liapler.
State of Nebraska vs. Uli Jones,
charged with making an assault with
intent to do great bodily injury upon
the person of John Carnes, is the title
of the second chapter of the Jones
Carnes squabble. The case was being
tried before a jury in Justice Archer's
court Tuesday afternoon. Fifteen or
twenty witnesses were examined and
the jury found the defendant guilty ot
assault. Justice Archer then assessed
a fine of So and costs against him.
The costs in the case amounted to
334.25, and Eli will board with Jailor
Ilolloway for the next few weeks, be
ing unable to pay that amount.
Injury May I'rove Serious.
Eli Jones may be called upon to
answer for a very serious offense yet.
Lulu Ramge, whom he struck over the
head with a club last Saturday," is
said to be worse today. It appears
that a nail in the club penetrated the
woman's skull and came within a
hairsbreadth of striking the brain.
If her condition does not improve it is
understood that a complaint will b
lodged against Jones as soon as he has
"laid out' his fine and costs for as
saulting the woman's father, John
Carnes, and the charge will be assault
with intent to kill.
'l'retzel' and Ilia Iturglar.
J. V. Egenberger, jr.. better known
as "Pretzel," had quite an exciting ex
perience last evening, or rather early
this morning. He had just come out
of his saloon when a man rushed by
him. "Pretzie," who wa3 somewhat
inquisitive as to the stranger's desti
nation, started in pursuit of him. Af
ter a sprint of a few blocks the man,
upon discovering that he was being
"shadowed" turned and asked rather
sharply, what he meant by following
him. "Pretzie" evidently wa3 not ex
pecting the man to stop, and was quite
content at "running a bluff" on the
stranger, whom he mistook for a bur
glar, or murderer, or some other des
perado. After"Pretzel" had recovered
from the shock, he thrust his hand
into his pocket and pulled a big gun,
intending to pump a few pounds ot
lead or old scrap iron into the carcass
of the desperado. The men both rec
ognized each other before any blood
was spilled, however, and explana
tions followed. The supposed "out
Jaw" was a well known citizen who
had been sent p st haste after a physi
cian on account of illness in hisfamily.
"Pretzel" eently sneaked away during
the explanation, and free drinks are
being dished out to everone today

PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT.
Tom Chapman has made a claim for
salary as official district court reporter
for Judge Ramsey's court for the
month of January, the judge not hav
ing appointed his successor, Mr.iorth
cutt, until the present month. T e
opinion is expressed by attorneys that
he will make his claim good, for the
reason that it is customary for officials
to hold office until their successors are
elected and qualified.
Frank Otis of McCool Junction sold
his farm last winter and went to Mis
souri to look up a location. lie re
turned and wishes he had not sold.
Yesterday he had a sale of personal
property, advertising it. lobe sold for
cash only. It was surprising how
hih nearly everything went. Hogs
sold for moie than market price.
'Frank Cherry of Fremont has re
ceived word that his brother, John
Cherry, who until recently resided in
Dodge county , in company with four
other men, is on his way to Cuba to
join the insurgent forces. The party
will go to New Orleans and probably
sail from there. Two of the party are
veteran soldiers and have traveled
extensively in Cuba and South Amer
ica. Harvey Ilolloway of Plattsmouth,
the voungest sheriff in Nebraska, was
in the city Tuesday. He brought
with him Frank Douglas, who, after
burglarizing a store at Eagle, allowed
himself to get caught and convicted,
and for the next five years will spill
his coffee at the state's big hotel south
of the city. He was formerly a star
boarder with Warden lieemer. stop
ping once for burglary and also making
quite a visit for horse stealing. His
familiarity with this popular boarding
house, and evident partiality for the
same, are doubtless appreciated by
the new landlord. Lincoln Journal.
The editor riseth in the raorningand
knoweth not what the day may bring
forth. If be telleth all the news he
runeth a risk of having a tin ear put
on him, and if he telleth not the news
the people say he is n. g., and there is
no joy in it. The crafty man cajoleth
him into giving him a 50 cent paff for
a five cent cigar, and all fond mothers
frown upon him if he fails to Hatter
their freckle face broods. All his ways
are ways of woe, and his days are full
of sorrow. The life insurance man
setteth snares for him. and on the
whole he hath a duce of a time. Ex.
A Kansas man claims to have per
fected a process for making good pav
ing bricks out of compressed straw.
Now if he can really produce a good
paving material out of this product of
the farm, he has at last solved one of
the world's big problems. There are
so many things in favor of straw pave
ment that he ought to be encouraged
to continue his experiments, if be has
not made a complete success of it the
first time. Straw is cheap, it has
plenty of elasticity, and a pavement
made of straw bricks ought to have
vastly more good qualities than de
fects. The inventor claims that
enough wheat straw goes to waste in
Kansas every year to pave every town
in New England. Lincoln Journal.
It will soon be time for the assessor
to begin his visits, and the man that is
blessed with considerable of this
world's goods can begin practicing to
feel real poor, so that the sight of the
assessor will make him feel so much
like a pauper, as be would have the
world believe when they read his
sworn statement that his worldly be
longings are few and far between.
Nebraska City News.
A parent wrote to an editor for in
structions as to how to stop his boy
from smoking cigarettes, and received
the following reply: "We suggest
bribery, persuasion, instruction or
shutting off his allowance; then, if be
remains obstinate, use a rawhide on
his raw bide. Welt him until he is
ready to hold up his hands and prom
ise never to smoke another cigarette.
If that does not work, drown him. A
drowned boy is better than one that
smokes cigarettes.
Good farming lands are not going
for a song in Nebraska. If it is true
that there is any better investment for
the man with moderate means, with a
strong body, willing hand, active brain,
than that of keeping or putting his
money in the rich agricultural lands
of Nebraska, we are yet to hear of it.

Joe Cannon in Jail.
Joseph Wallace Cannon, a young
man who gave his name as Joe and
said his home was in Cass county, and
claimed to be a relative of Treasurer
Eikenbary of Cass county, today be
came a guest of this county, and will
most likely remain for some time and
all on account of a very foolish move
he made. He was sitting at the desk
at the Grand Pacific, writing some
thing, and when he went out Charley
Kidd found a note, which read some
thing like this:
"Jacob Sicul Please give bearer a pair of
pants and charge same to me.
"Carl Morton."
Charley kept the note and gave it to
Officer Farley, and then Jack came
down and notified Mr. Sichl what to
expect.
The officer had not been out of the
store long enough to walk a block be
fore Mr. Cannon came into the store
and wanted a pair of pants, presenting
an order for the same. Farley was
sent for and as soon as he arrived the
young man was placed under arrest
and requested to elevate his hands,
which lie promptly did, and Mr. Sichl
proceeded to see what he had. He
found a new revolver.
Cannon was taken to the court house,
when he told the officers that lie had
never been in trouble before, except
when be appropriated a bicycle, but
the crime was condoned. He also ad
mitted that the order was a forgery.
No doubt the young man will serve a
term in the penitentiary. Nebraska

news that M. U. Murphy, now of Den

To the aiilicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof thelower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
Very respectfully,
