A XEST or THEM.
On behalf of the respectable citizens
in the vicinity of Sixth .street, we ask if
something cannot be done to break up
the disgraceful nest that is located in and
about the old chanties) south of Main
street. Not only disgraceful, but dan
gerous. We have hesrd of three or f lur
men being stopped in that vicinity re
cently, aud last night a citizen of the
city who happened to be pains there at
a late hour was knocked down and beaten
fearfully. Sheriff Johnson wa$ called
out in the middle of the night to ouiet I
the crowd of roughs that infest that re
gion almost nightly. We hope the nui
sance will be abated by removing the
''magnet" that attracts thoe roughs and
robbers, without further attention being
called to the Mtljcct. This locality is
becoming to notorious; that decent, un
armed people dread to pass it, especially
after dark.

SherifiT.John.son returned fom the coun
tiy j'Ul niter dark last night, and ac
cording to his distent, the first thin. ha
did was to cautiously peer about the jail
to see if everything was in proper order.
O'dc t'y apprxteh'rjv the door of the jail
he i lainly heard the pri-oir-rs at woik
upon the wall, endeavoring to niaie a
bole thromdi it. He v,-i;iit up stairs to
await ueveiop'iitnts in onler to aiat
then- l ieaoi the most vulnerable t.ai-t oi
a
the jail. lie remained up r.n 1 on the
wa.tclit.1! night, but heard nothing more.
The p; i.-om i s heard hi'..-. v. !i":i he entered
the

and su.swndo! tb.eir o; -orations. This

jcitch of new plastering, on t he north
wall, made from the lime kept in the jii' as
a disinfectant. He took his knife and
picked away the plaster, r.nd exposed to
view the commencement of a hole large
enough to ad -nit the body of a r.nn to
. .... A. 1 1 I T 111 .1
pass inrougn. ue ca.iea on tlie prison
er for tooli used in this work,
and they turned him over the jaws
of r.n old pair of shears. He searched
but was unable to find anything
more. There are five prisoners in ihe
j.ul .John Ueaty, Lhas. alker an i
Wia. Bensen and Jus. Riley confine 1
for grand larceny, aud Chas. Kilmor
confined for burglary. The three fiist
named are the ones that had entered
into the agreement to break jail. They
all three have chains rivited on tbe r
ankles, but they had concluded they
could get to a blacksmith s-hop and cut
the chains off. Sheriff Johnson took tie
further precaution this morning to chain
these three fellows to a ring iu the floor
of the jail, where he will keep thevu
until some other and better arrangements
are made for their t-afe keeping. Our
jail is insufficient for the safe keeping of
such chatactersas these three probably
as tough customers as can be found in
the State. Walker was one of the lea.l
ers t fa Land of horns thieves, Win. Bin
sen is an accomplished thief, and John
Beaty is as villainous ami cold blooded a
ooking rascal as wo ever looked at.
They will find it somewhat dimY-uk to
ret away from Sheriff Jt hn-on. even if
his facilities for keeping them are i;ot
the best. .

dated at Fort Buford, Augu.-t 17th, iu
which he ft arts out by sayintr :
"The Indians have virtually Moekacnd
try fort. They show thctn.-.eives in gi eat
numbers every day. i am so weak that
1 cannot as 1 wish give them chase."
He then confirms the statement of ;ho
late massacre of four men near the fb;t,
the particulars of whi"h we copied a few
daj-s since from the Sioux City Ti.nu..,
and concludes as follows :
"I am exp siting a battle with the In
dians every day ; ruy nu in hers are well
known, and think they feel strong
enough to take us. In this they are mis
taken ; but 1 have no doubt tllat I shall
have to give them tight, if it is only to
please them. The men sleep on their
anus, and 1 keep my canon loaded and
in position, so that in an instant I can
give battle. I have only about seventy
five men lit for dut3 From iheir ac
tions I thought Jat uight that the Indi
ans intended to attack, me at daylight
this morning, and I had the garrison up
at dawn. During the night scouts re
ported that large parties had gone into a
point of woods near the post. . This
' ii i - . ,
would have teen a convenient point from
which to. have attacked, and I at once
shelled it. Ine night was dark, ai-ci tho
shelLs bursting over the woods, casting a
nionientary glare over the river, and
lighting up the surrounding scenery, pre-
scnted a grand spectacle, and one seldom
seen bv the Indians. In all m-nbahiiitv

A. L. Stsarnfs DrSir: Are glad
you are in Nebraska. Scribner stoppe i
at Lincoln to see Heal and Governor
Butler. It poems he "pufc the fol
lowing, and I waut you tr look closely
into the matter, and report fully to me.
Scribner found that Heals was not ap
proachable on the money matter, but
that Governor Butler was disposed to get,
or hure rWds make up a list, and he.
Butler, would take jy forthe pain-?, and
after the matter was closed up, he would
quietly hand the pry to Heals. My pri
vate opinion i.s, that Scribner means to
have the money we pay, go toward se
curing P. D. t. Co., and Cambridge
1'hysic-s as much as to secure our booka.
for 1 don't understand that he, or his
house are to pay anything, though they
expect to hav; the above books recorn-
mended.
Butler places the figures as follows:
For Readers and Gooes. ..... ... $ 1.200

some remarks made by some of your

We understand that some of the V.
S. surveyors, who have lately returned
from the Republican Valley, report the
discovery of a five foot vein of bitumin
ous shale among the slates of that coun
try. We hope that what appears to be
bituminous shale may prove to be the
"coal blossom" so well known to old
miners, and that a more thorough exam
ination may demonstrate that there is
real coal in that neighborhood. Five
feet of coal would be better than as much
gold iu Nebraska.

no doubt of the business being highly re

The community and traveling public
also need a liret-cia-a country- hotel.
Those who "know hew to keep a hotel,
will know that Li the kind of business
that pays, and a commodious, wok kept
hotel would be well patronized here.

population will soon supply. TLt only
place of worship iu town now. is the
great temple of Nature, covered by the

Ge:i. Ruggb's has received an nffieiMl
report ot tlie Indian light on lmp t '. k
from Maj. Noyes, tVowu vrhkli wc leant
the following :
About one o'clock in the afternoon of
the 21st a t-kit mish line of Pawnee Indi
ans were observed from the ramp on
Loup Fork, extending about two miles
along the bluffs which wert? about
three miles distant from the camp. Iu
a short time a Pawnee Tndiau cam into
camp iu company with a soldier and re
ported a fight in process nmewLerfl
northwest of the school house, bctweeu
the Pawnees and SiouX. - A detachment,
of thirty men. nmpaniej by about ono
hundred l'awneo Indians, was immedi-.
I ately sent to tin seem; of action. Upon
,. - ., . . , 1
TIio cavalry, not being alio to surround
the Hying foe, were ordered to fire. One
Indian dropped from his hor.-.e at the
discharge, aud the Pawnee, filling tli
air with loud veils, joined, in the pursuit.
The Sioux were, well mounted, and for
some, miles the race was an even thing..
The Pawnee", at the end of fifteen miles,'
gave up the chase as useless; 'the eav-
airy, however, continued the pursuit for
twenty-five or thirty miles, the eneiuy
gradually gaining until sunset, v hen
they disappeared altogether." Several
horses were found upon the prairie,
which had been killed by the Indians, to
prevent them from lkliintr into the li and
of the soldiers. The .Pawnees lost onJ
man aud several horses. Onlv oue of
their number was wounded. Tho ko!
diers of the camp suffered no loss, bnt
report several killed among the Sioux.-

'On the flat?, in the vicinity of' t!i
freight, depot of the Union lV-iPe road,
and near 'tlie fi-rry landing, 1 tht m is a
fcuiajl. dirty-looking wooden ,sti tieiuv.,
which is known as tlie li:a! habitation
of a ma'i who h:u gained noLori'-t.v un lor
the cogiiomen of "Billy Mack." Tin
occupation of this man has generally been
that of a saloon keeper and ; tie? vi-itr
of newspaper.-;. RoMit dev.-lo;mt'!;is,
however, frof nt biiu in an eutheb dif
feient, and. certainly . ' unonviable light.
It is now charged "that "Biily Mick"
has bet ti acting tb j part of "'Fagin" in
Omaha; that lie h;tv been the principal
utirm ol

"Hajipy Jack,1' another "i'lrn -iiy,"
and another with an equal euphonious
title. The charge preferred against the
keeper of the place was that of receiving
stolen property, knowing it to be uh,
and the boys were captured as witnesses.
The examination, on account of th Dis
trict Attorney, was postponed until Thurs
day next, and bail was required i.i the
Mini of S5U0.
It is alleged that Mack has been in the
habit of enticing boys into his saloon;
that he pays them a regular salary of
$3er week for selling papers, and pur
chases from them the little articles they
can "prig," or "'lift." while perambula
ting with the papers ; that, iu fact, ho
gives them instructions in petty thieving,
and disposes of the plunder for them.
Twelve or fifteen boys have nightly slept
at his establishment, it is said, and all
of them are supposed to have been
thieves. Quite au amount of property,
consisting of small articles, of no fcieat
value, was found at the rendezvous of
the brigade of young vagalionds. Tho
urchins under arrest were put in charge
of their parents, and "Billy Mack" pr.
vided bail for his appearance. I!'ivh V-

Grange Saving Bank was entered by
burglars on Tuesday night. Tho door of
the vault was burkt open with jmwder.
and efforts were xande with blacksmith
tools to effect au entrance into the safe,
which were unavailing. Six hundred
dollars, the amount of a special deposit
which had not been placed in the mfc,
was all that could be found worth carry
