saloon , Night Policeman James G. Ro
ijers was ( juite severely pounded abou
the face and head , hut finally succeedet
in lodging his man in the city jail.
Jp" * The affair attracted considerable alien
, * X.ion to the vicinity of the jail , as the
policeman called lustily for help while
he was being pummeled by his prisoner
who was drunk. After help came , Craw
ley attempted to escape , but ran into
his own brother , Ben. Crawley , and fell
to the ground. Before he could get up
the policeman was at him and used his
club with effect , after which he put him
iii the jail over night.
The following morning , Crawley ap
peared before Police Judge Babcock ,
who fined him $20 and costs on the
charge of resisting and abusing an offi
cer while in the discharge of his duty.
Crawley was also taken on the charge
of being drunk and was again fined $3
and costs , the entire amount being
$29.50.
Crawley was over from the neighbor
hood of May wood , Frontier county , on
a case before the local land office , and
Ins difficulty was the result of getting
too much whiskey on board and showing

ting off as easy us he did.
Rogers was quite badly thumped about
"luv face , but got his man , and will be
none the worse for his experience in a
few days. The experience will be valuable -
uable to him in the future.

corded among the marriage licenses is
sued by County Judge Baxter yesterday.
Nathan A. Starr , aged 67. and his bride ,
Mrs. Eliza A. Nettleton , aged 55 , were
ihe high contracting parties. The
room , hail and smiling , happened to be
here from Clay Center , Kan. , and she
! frorn New York , really to enjoy the ex
position. One day they met , and , being
cousins and both natives of Connecticut ,
: it was not long until they understood
each other , for he was a widower and
rihe a widow. They therefore concluded
to make closer their relationship by get
ting married , and Mr. Starr will surprise
his friends at Clay Center by returning
'home with a bride. Her father , Giles A.
Wilcox , and his mother , Mary A. Wilcox -
cox , were brother and sister. The initial

Exciting and Fortunate.
airs. Emory E. Rogers and three little
children were passengers in an exciting ,
imt fortunate , runaway , last Friday
about noon. The two horses took fright
at the switch engine in the western limit
of the railroad yard , and ran rapidly
down Dennison street , obscured in a
cloud of dust. Fortunately nothing
interferred with them and out on East
Denuison street the horses both became
separated from the buggy , which carne
to a sudden stop without any injury to
the occupants. Mrs. Rogers had a babe
in arms and another child about three
years old in the buggy , and a lad of
seven or eight summers was driving.
He held on bravely till the animals be
came separated from the buggy , and
seemed to be little disturbed. It was avery
-very fortunate escape from serious injury
and much damage.

Native Fungus Working.
An example of the effective working
of the native fungus disease among
grasshoppers may be seen at the farm of
Mr. Ploussard , southwest of the citj * .
The fungus works best where water can
be utilized and is not very effective in
dry places. Parties who desire should
go out to Mr. Ploussard's farm and se
cure some of the diseased hoppers , and
place them where they will do the most
Oed among the living hoppers in wet
Dr damp places on their farms. They
will do great things toward helping re
move the grasshopper pests.
Every effort , mechanical and by propa
gating the fungus disease- , should be
ased to destroy the hoppers , and all far-
uers should be interested in stamping
jut these pests , which in due time will
lo immense damage.

An Unfortunate Accident.
Sunday evening at Wray , Colorado ,
Charles Diehl , a merchant of Stratton ,
in attempting to stop two men who were
disposing of goods taken from Diehl's
store in Stratton , Saturday night a week
ago , had the misfortune to accidentally
shoot himself in the left leg at the knee
He was brought down to McCook , Mon
day afternoon on No. 6 , and is now in
the McCook hospital receiving attention
for his unfortunate injury.
It appears that the thieves were dis
posing of the shoes , clothing , etc. , stolen
to various parties , the Burlington bridge
gang , agent and others , and when Mr.
Diehl approached them they started to
run. Mr. Diehl called to them to halt ,
and drawing his revolver started after
them , not noticing that the sidewalk
was not on a level with the street ; fall
ing as he stepped off the walk , the revolver
ver was discharged and the ball entered
the left leg at the knee on the inside of
the leg. He succeeded in getting his
men and after chaining them together
and turning them over to a Ideal Colorado
rado officer , he took No. 6 , Monday , for
McCook.
The ball was located , but it will not be
removed on account of its position under
the knee cap , unless it causes sufficient
annoyance to make such action neces
sary.
sary.These
These rascals are members of an or
ganized gang of thieves that are opera
ting up and down the valley. Requisi
tion papers are being secured from the
sjovernor of Colorado and an effort will
be made to bring them to speedy and
sure justice.
Perhaps the only cause for regret is
that the bullet did not make an opening
in one of the thieves instead of Mr.
Diehl , who has much sympathy in his
misfortune , as he has a prospect of a stiff
leg in store for him.
A Birthday Party.
Last Friday Frank Harris turned an-
ather milestone in the journey of life ,
