' Er : Abon'Cthe worst
looking islgtit one Jsjsyes ever rested onr Was [
the , appearance qfTsandy-halred individual
comhig'to wn ironrWood rlveron Tue'I-
day morning. He was pounded up In the
latest approved manner. His head was
swollen to nearly the size of a half barrel , a
portion of his ear- bitten out , and the thumb
on his' left hand completely b'ittcn off at the
first joint. He presented a horrible sight as
ho stopped at John Seymour's residence
and begged fqrTa drink and a basin of wa
ter to wash the blood from his swollen and
badly disfigured head. In answer to In
quiries he said ho had been in the employ of
a Wood river farmer and was to receive a
pony In payment for wages. He had earned
the pony and started with the animal for
Kearney. His employer protested and with
the aid of a brother both managed to lick
him. He sal ( I he would have them arrested
at once , but as nothing further has been
heard of the affair , it is safe to presume the
badly-whipped strawberry blonde Is a horse
thief , had been caught In the act and
whipped in a square rough-and-tumbled
fight by the owner of the animal ho at
tempted to steal.
The dog poisoner is at Sidney and
the owners of defunct canines arc furious.
A quarter-section of farm land in

Ainsworth News : The pony boys
have been causing a good deal of trouble to
the people of the northeast portion of the
county. We have been informed that as
many as seven horses were stolen in one
neighborhood in one 'week , ' some of the
farmers losing all the horses they had.
From what we learn w.e Judge that there
must be , an organized gang at
work. The farmers h'ave organized
vigilance committees and are out in their
paint , and have arrested a number of sus
picious characters. When 'they are once
satisfied that ttfby have the right man , they
I may handle him roughly , as their feelings
are much wrought up. The greatest danger
Is , that through haste and passion innocent
parties may suffer.
Calvin Yahney , a B. &M. brakeman ,

released on appeal to the district court.
The girl , a mere child of six was dreadful
ly beaten , and strong threats were made
that should the prisoners be released , a
good ddse of tar and feathers would be

Hon. John C. New has reconsidered
.his determination to resign the position of
assistantsecretary of the treasury.
It is stated that the president has de
cided to sustain the action of Postmaster
General Gresham in the New Orleans na
ional bank case. The decision of the presi
dent is In answer to the petition of a large
number of merchants.
The secretary of the interior has sus
tained the commissioner of Indian affairs in
his decision to the effect that the department
does not recognize courts in Indian territory
as courts of record within the meaning of
section 2,103 , revised s'tatutes , which re
quires that certain agreements made with
Indians shall be executed before the judge
of a court of record. The secretary holds
it was not the intention of the law-makers
that agreements should be executed before
judges not having such limited knowledge of
the laws and treaties affecting the rights of
Indians , and such limited general infarma-
tion as judges of Indian courts within the
Indian country usually possess.
The statistics of the universal postal

general of the army to the secretary of war
shows receipts for f he fiscal year of $15 , -
490,310 , disbursements , $13,382,104. The

Since the last report five officers of the pay
department have retired , having attained
the age of G4 , one died and one was dlsmis-
missed for misappropriation of public
funds.
The annual report of the commission
er of revenue was submitted. By the con
solidation of collection districts an anuual
saving to the government of $125,000 was se
cured. The aggregate receipts this year are
estimated at $120OOOjOOO. During the first
three months of the current fiscal year the
revenues decreased $7,920,401. As a large
number of those engaged in illicit distilling
are desirous of abantloning.the unlawful
practices , the commissioner has been urged
to recommend' a .general proclamation
of general amnesty to such per
sons. He suggests that congress provide a
shorter period of limitation for the jprosecu-
tion of offenses against the revenue. The
question df enforcins the revenue laws in
Indian Territory has been referred to Secre
tary Folger for action. Tnc commissioner
recommends the withdrawal of the privilege
granted-manufacturers of-vinegar of separ
ating alcoholic property from , fermented
mash and using the same in the production
of vinegar. Aside from the above the re
port is . .an elaboraton of points.presented in
