Lynch Sun: Judge Harrington and his brother J. 8. Harrington drove An from O’Neill last evening and tried a short cut across the prairie, coming to the creek near Burkholders where the water is backed up from the dam and about ten feet deep, they tried to cross Yes. they made it, 'twas a sorry looking sight—after the swim. An old road where teams bad backed down into the creek for water leaving fresh tracks, proved a decoy and jamped them in over their heads. The Nebraska fLh oar passed through O'Neill last night and left seven cans of the finny tribe at this station for parties in the northern part of the county who had ordered them. Last year thirty seven cans were put off here but the present commissioner does not appear to be as generous as predecessor. Some | of those who ordered fiih an d who were notified to be at the car laU night to receive them, failed to be accomodated, although having representatives at the car to receive them. Charles Nelson, an employe at Mul len’s barn, was quite severely injured ! Sunday by a horse that was brought in from Boyd county. Mr Nelson was in the stall where the animal was tied when it pitched upon him, kicking, stricking and crushing him against the side of the stall. He was so badly injur ed that it was necessary for a physician to attend him. It was found that the left bip bone was factored. He is now confined to the house but Dr. Flynn says by another week he will be able to go about on crutches. On last Mouday evening a lodge of the Order of Eastern Star, a society auxiliary to the Masons, was organized at the Masonic ball, with the following officers: Worthy patron, J. C. Hsrnisb; worthy matron. Mrs. Z. P. Trueblood; associate matron, Mrs T. li. Evans; secretary,Miss Maude Gillespie; treaurer Miss Eva P. llarnisb. Grand Patron L. D. Woodruff of Lincoln was preseut and organized the lodge, which starts out with a membership o* twenty-three. The event was made the occasion of a lunch and social time for the members atter the organization was completed. It seems that the company of N bras ka national guards that General Barry had scheduled for O’Neill has collapsed. Before the company was organized the general visited .O’Neill and talked np a company with those who la.ler got the organization together. He seemed very anxious that onr city should have a company and urged its organization at once. This was along the fore part of March, and the boys were to know by April 1 when they were to be mustered in. A correspondence was kept up be tween Captain Hall and General Barry. Along the last of March Captain Hall wrote the general reminding him of his promise to set them a date by April 1, Captain Hall received no reply, nor has the company been mustered in. Two weeks ago General Barry was again in the city, ostensibly for political pur poses—as it is said he has a congression al bee in his bonnet with hopes of suc ceeding Neville—but never mentioned militia to any of the company until he was ready to step on the cars on his re turn to Lincoln, when, After being press ed into the eubjeot by a query from John Robertson,said toCaptaiu Hall and Lieutenant Davidson that they need not allow their aspirations to rise too high over the company as they might be dis appointed. Up to date the dispointment is still in force and Captain dall says he looks for nothing now, though he nor any others of the company do not feel very keenly the sting of the disappoint ment. Just as the society editor was getting ready to animadvert upon the subject he run across the following in the State Journal, which does a good job of it: Yes, I bought a hat for Easter, which I lavished much upon; It had lilies of the valley and a bird or two thereon. ’Twas the most delightful bonnet In the showcase, of the all, And It fitted the occasion as the paper does the wall. Yes, 1 bought an Easter bonnet, and was glad as I could be. For I know ’twas one the people would all rubberneck to see: ’TU a very showy structure, built upon the Gothic plan, And the bill for eighteen dollars will be paid by my old man. O, that darling Easter bonnet—no one can imagine how i had plaoed my heart upon It—all the tears I'm shedding now; Wheep today that I am weeping, you should wonder not thereat, For it rained like suds on Easter and I couldn't wear my hat. Attorney Johnson of Stuart, who was arrested last week charged with sub ornation, was givan a preliminary hear ing iu the county court last Saturday and was discharged. The girl. Icy Munt, testified that Johusou persuaded her to charge Kraft with the crime of r. -.pe for the pm pose of extorting money from defendant. 0 W. Lesseuger tes tified that he accompanied Johnson upon several calls he had made upon the girl and her father, but bad beard Johnson make no proposals touching her evidence iu the case. In summing up the case the county judge did not say there was not tufticcnt evidence to bold the prisoner, but said what was bothering him wsb what the distticl court would do with tue case should the defendant be held, and as it would be a very expensive case to the tax payers of the county be would discharge the ptisoner. If it was proven that a crime was committed and that the evidence adduced before the court prov ed the d’efendenle connection with it then it wns clearly the duty of the county judge to bind the prisoner over to the district court, without regard to what became of the case there, or its expense to tiie county. In no other way can justice be tneted out to ai. Amrney Johusou was re-arrested laat Satuiday evening after hi^ dis charge by the county court and will be given a priliminary next Satuiday be fore Justice Slattery. The Presbytery of Niobrara, eighteen ministers and as many elders, met in O’Neill Tuesday eveniug and after a sermon by the Rev. D. G. Montgomery, of Wayne was organized by the election of T. Manning, of Randolph, chairman and Revs, lianer and McIntosh clerks. A large amount of routine business was transacted duung Wednesday. The matters which took most time and con* sideratiou were those connected with the report of the home mission com mittee of which Rev. N. S. Lowrie was chairman. The proper apportionment of $3 800 of missionary money among the thirty-three churches of the Presby tery. After full discussion the report of the committee was aocepted with only one word changed. Rev. Sharp less was continued as pastor-at-large. Rev. D C. Montgomery was elected chairman of the home mission com mittee. Rev. N. 8. Lowrie after forty years of active service was placed on the list as houorably retired. Rev. tianer was made delegate to the general assemb ly which meets in St Louis in May.
