Constable Harry Piorco arrested Alexander and brought him be fore tho court. Tho State requested a continuance until Saturday but the prisoner stated that ho desired to atteftd tho populist convention on that day, so the caso by agree ment was set for Monday, while Cou&tablo Harry Piqrco fills tho place of stepmother to tho calf.

Dick Bevan is homo again and heartily welcomed by his many friends. Dick is a very eco nomical young man, and in or der'to save tho faro. from Craw ford took a steerage berth on the bumpers, of No. 40. This proved a very hot dusty place, but the fireman took pity on tho tourist and turned the engine hoso on him, and continued tho shower bath intorsporscd with chunks of coal, '.ioWfie stones etc., until tho train arrived in Hemingford, and without waiting for tho train to stop,' ho gave a leap which would have cleared tho right of wov, had not his head made con nectidn with a bank, and which rendered him "spacholess" for awhile. Dick says, "I bate tho bloody corporation out of SI. 50 any how." W, H. Hubbcll a prominent stockman of the Sand Hills, with headquarters at Alliance was murdered at Lakeside Sunday morning. When tho deceased was found life was not extinct, 'but ho did not recover sufficient consciousness to utter a word. He was lying on his back, and had both hands in his pockets and legs crossed. The only wound found on him was a gash about 24; inches long a little to tho left of tho crown of the head, with a hole through tho skull nearly one inch long, from which any fair man would necos sarily conclude that tho wound was made by a blunt instrument or weapon, and that Ilubboll was murdered. Ho was not murder ed for what money or valuables ho had on his person, for noth ing had been disturbed. Certain parties in the hills aro suspected, and Sheriff Sweeney and other friend of the dead man expect somo development soon. It is gonorally and justly con ceeded that on tho reocurronco of the glorious Fouth of July, that tho patriotic and enthusiastic small boy shall bo allowed a great deal of latitude in his con duct and granted privileges not accorded to him at any other time; bnt when theso privileges are abused, and exceeded as they wore on the morning of the Fourth by Bortie Gilman and a few other small thougthless boys, it is timo that public opinion should domand a halt. Tho offence to which wo refer, was mat, ot tiring guns ana cannon crackers, at an unseemly hour, under tho bed room win dows of slumbering citizens. Noithor the aged, tho sick, tho schoolma'am nor tho minister wore oxompt from their thought loss and unearthly x-acket. Tho offence will bo condoned this time, but tho parties aro warned that a ropetiton of it may result in consequences sorions to them selves.
