A Physical Culture Slunt.
The Journal is in receipt of informa
tion to the effect that a certain Platts-
mouth gentleman and young lady did a
fine physical culture stunt last night,
walking from Pacific Junction to this
city via the Burlington tracks and the
big bridge. From all reports these
parties expected to meet another young
gentleman and lady with a carriage at
Pacific Junction and ride over to this
city with them but the latter couple
and the carriage failed to materialize.
The parties of the first part reached
the Junction on No. 13 from the east,
at about 10 p. m., last night and after
failing to locate the carriage, heroical
ly decided to watK over. I ney were
successful, arriving here in the wee
sma' hours. The Buriington switch
men saw them coming over but did not
rescue them and they had to walk all
the way. What they did to the couple
that failed to show up is still a dark

and a half inches, the flesh being laid
open to the bone. She hurried at once
to the home of Dr. Hall where that sur
geon gave her medical relief taking
six stitches. At last reports the young
lady was getting along nicely and there
is little danger of serious consequences.

the abcess which had formed three
times. It is believed the hand has so
far advanced toward recovery as to ren
der it almost sure that he will get along
all right.

to hit him several times resulting in his
being knocked down. A portion of the
crowd made manifestations of sympathy
with the man and several cried out foul
names at the officers. Amid great ex

for the city jail, but had not gone far ;
when he made a desperate effort to get
away and caused them more trouble. :
They succeeded, however, by the aid of I
several citizens, in landing him in jail !
