The "Nehawka Register says: Last Monday evening sime of our citizens were witnesses to a fistic encounter Jietweon Joe McCunahae and Earl Griffeth, two young men who have reen working in this vicinity for some time. It seems as though the whole affair originated over apme of poker, and also some threats made by one of the parties. So they both went at it in the above manner to see who was in the right. A few blows were struck by each, when they were separated. But no sooner had this been accom plished than Griffeth went home and got a revolver and started out to find McCunahae. They again met and had some words, and the gun was son in play, which was used by Griffeth as a defense. Three shots were fired by him, but all were wide of the desired mark, and we are glad to know that nothing more serious happened than a few bruises for both men.

Plattsmouth. Work Was Not Satisfactory. The Iapillion Times says: of all the over-grown fakes that ever struck this county that man Emmons who came down from Lincoln last Friday with a pair of alleged blood-hounds to run down th- thieves who rohljed Herman Sanders' store, is entitled to tirst money. In the first place his dogs could not trail an elephant in snow a foot deep. In the next place Emmons would not let the dogs work if they could and wanted to. After a half hour's effort which seemed to en courage the idea that the dotrs were possibly on the right trail Emmons called them off and quit the chase claiming it was too hot to work. Later in the evening, after lie had ex hibited sundry newspajer clippings of alleged captures, which he claimed to have accomplished with his dogs, to nearly every inhabitant of iapillion, another effort was made which ended when the great sleuth landed in South Omaha, where he refused to chase anything but red liquor and habitants of the Ited Light theater, not forgetting, however, he received from Mr. Sanders the sum of -?20 to pay the expenses of his day's outincr.

Hans Gxs, Otto Bookmeyer, Henry Jess, Anton Hudecek, James Eebal, Otto Wurl, Ben Elson and Frank Mc Elroy went up on the Platte last Mon day, with all the necessary parapha nalia and supplies for a royal good time. The party was transported to the fishing grounds by carryall, which they chartered from Ed Fitzgerald. They arrived at their destination all right, and proceeded to enjoy them selves as is customary on such occa sions. Before long one of the horses showed symptoms of being sick, and in spite of the efforts of the entire party to relieve the animal's distress it laid down and died. This naturally caused a cloud of gloom to settle down over the joyous spirits of t lie fisher men, which was intensified about sup per time, when it was discovered that some of t he natives had consumed al most all the lunch that remained from the noon-time meal, and had made heavy drafts on the liquid portion of the commissary department. A farmer who lived in the neighborhood was paid 2 to drag the dead horse down to the river and dump it in. and $3 more to hitch his team to the carryall and haul them home. But the usual joyousness was sadly lacking, and the few fish which they secured were not very highly prized. Ben Elson s share of the damages caused by the death of the horse is modestly reckoned at $1.1 by the other members of the party, but Ben won't stand for it.

August is the best month in the year to make the trip through Yellowstone Park, and the last half or the month is better than the tirst. The climate is perfect.

Mr. Sayles was returning in his buggy from Weep ing Water, when he overtook a man walking along the road who asked for a ride. His request was about to be complied with, and the team was stopped to allow him to get in the buggy. But instead of getting in the stranger put his foot on the hub of the front wheel, and producing a re volver which he pointed directly at Sayles' head, demanded that he hand over his money and valuables. Al though taken completely by surprise, Sayles did not lose his nerve and com ply with the highwayman's demand Instead he handed the fellow a stun ning blow in the face, which knocked him down. In falling the highwayman discharged the revolver, which fright ened the horses, causing them to run. The robber was thus left alone, lying in the road, while Sayles gave his at tention to checking the team, which he succeeded in doing when out of range of the highwayman's gun. No clue as to the identity of the man who attempted the hold-up has been dis covered. Services at St. Luke's Church. Itev. H . B.

The low stage of water in the Platte river is causing the fish in that stream to hunt for deeper water, and they are running out into the Missouri. Some of the larger fish become stranded in the shallow pools and are easily cap tured. A resident across. the Platte in Sarpy county captured a yellow cat fish weighing forty pounds one day last week. During the past week marriace lic enses have been issued to Frederick Fleishman, aged 22, of Manley, and Sarah Taylor, aged 21, of Louisville: Cecil Lewis Bulger, aged 27, and Nell Leonard, aged 22, both of Plattsmouth.

(rusfyed pruits Only 5c a&RiM Brings Suit for Slander. The Young-Alford scandal, which has leen more or less discussed alut town for the past two or three weeks, has at last got into the courts, where it will 1k duly reviewed and deter mined. Mrs. Lavina Alford, by her attor ney, Judge Chapman, has commenced an action in district court against Mary Young, claiming damages in the sum of lo.(MK) for slander. The jieti tion alleges '-that on July !th. and at various other times since, the defend ant has w ickedly, wantonly and mali ciously spoken and published certain false, scandalous and malicious words, leaving the impression that said plain tiff had criminal and illicit relations with the defendant's husband." The plaintiff. Mrs. Alford. has been a resident of Plattsmouth for many years, and has always borne a gofid reputation. Since thei death of her husband, several years ago, she has earned her livelihood by doing wash ing, and is a hard-working woman. The reports concerning her, which she complains of, has distressed her to such an extent that she has left her home here and removed to Omaha, w here she has found employment. The defendant, Mrs. Mary Young, is the wife of George W. Young, who was formerly county commissioner. Mrs. Young is said to be a woman of very jealous disposition, so much so that at times she appears demented or out of her mind. Since the culmi nation of this affair, on July 9th, she has kept the neighborhood in which they live in a constant uproar, and has undoubtedly furnished food for consid erable gossip. George W. Young, who is also in volved in the case, is well and favora bly known throughout Cass county, lie is an old resident here, and served for six years as a member of the board of county commissioners. lie is a man of good repute and correct habits, and people who know him would not for a moment believe him guilyof the acts charged by his wife. He is simply the victim of his wife's jealous hallucina tion, and has the genuine sympathy of all his friends in the domestic trouble that has been thrust ujKin him. The parties involved in this case re side on the south side of Granite street, U-tween Eighth and Ninth, and their property adjoins. On the evening of the 9th of July Mrs. Al ford'scow became afflicted with some kind of complaint, and Mr. Young, acting in a neightmrly spirit, and as any man would under similar circum stances, tendered his services to assist in caring for the cow. While he and Mrs. Alford were thus engaged Mrs. Young appeared on the scene, and im mediately proceed to create a disturb ance, yelling "Now, I've caught you."' and accusing them of being criminally intimate. She has since repeated her accusation, until Mrs. Alford could stand it no longer, and removed to Omaha. Touched for Thirty-Five Dollars. Henry Jess was one of the fishing party which went up to the Platte on Monday, and shared equally with the others the grief, discomforts and ex penses of the trip. Hut this was com parative slight to the unpleasant sur prise that awaited his return home, when he discovered that during his absence some one had abstracted an envelope containing 3 in bills from his cash register and left no clue be hind. The grief of the fishing trip paled into insignificance at this discovery. Tc IKIeep Out Plies and 2csq.xitcrs. put up those fine screeus of Cox's that admit the air and exclude the pests.
