The vicinity of Eagle, in the west part of the county, was the scene of an altercation Monday in which Fred Druinm, a fanner of that section, was badly scarred up and also crippled to some ex tent. According to the story told by Drumin, it seems that for some time there has been considerable bad feeling between himself and Dert Stewart, also in that neigh borhood, growing out of a settle ment last spring between them, and they agreed to leave the mat ter to the arbitration of several of the neighbors, William Mcun scratched, while William Meun chau, jr., who was runnin the en gine on the threshing outfit held Stewart until he cooled down. There were a number of parties present at the scene of the affray and one, Joo Allen, stated to wit nesses that the men both engaged in jabbing at each other with pitchforks, as Drunim had one in his hand as he got off the load of grain, while others did not see Stewart jab Druinm with the fork, although they arrived in time to see him strike him over the head with the fork handle. The county attorney was notified this morning of the af fray and a warrant was issued for the arrest of IJert Stewart on the charge of making an assault on Fred Drumm with the intention of inflicting great bodily injury, and Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker went out to Eagle yesterday afternoon to bring in his man. The date of the hearing will be set as soon as the complaining witness, Drumm, is able to come to this city, as it is understood he is pretty badly used up as a result of the en- The extreme hot weather which , has held this section of the' ure country in its grip for the past esj ,.rtiay viri'i luuunut.'s uiwuaicu aim mo temperature yesterday registered 111 at 4 o'clock, which beat the record of Tuesday by 3 degrees, and it was impossible to keep from suffering from the intense heat. The hottest place register ed in the largest cities was Lin coln, which registered lt)9, while Omaha was a close second with 105. The hot winds which have been sweeping over Kansas for a few weeks was quite in evidenco yesterday and the corn generally through this section suffered greatly from the hot winds and the leaves of the corn greatly withered. Where the corn was not tassled out the damage was not great, as I he wind did not en tirely destroy the life of the plant. it ON WARPATH NEAR ROCK BLUFFS alarm was turned in afternoon about 3 o'clock from the residence of James Jervosky, in the west part of town, and when the fire depart ment had got started a few blocks the recall was blown. The alarm was caused by the fact that a boy who w"as slacking hay at the place had dropped a match into the hay accidentally, and at once ' the whole pile was ablaze, but it was extinguished without much dam age. The alarm yesterday showed the great need of a telephone in the central fire house, as the members of the department were compelled to start out without knowing for a certainty where the fire was, and at every fire much time is lost in having to hunt over town for the location of the fire, when if an extension telephone was run from the office of the police judge in the city hall the fire boys could call up and locate the fire at once and know exactly where they had td go and how far it was from the fire hydrants, whereas they have to waste much time in trying to locate the fire. chau, sr., and Ed Garr, together with another neighbor, being se-1 counter. lected for th1 ob of arbitrating.)

It seems that both men were work ing with a threshing outfit, and as Stewart had just finished un loading a load of grain at the ma chine and had driven his team from the machine, Drumm was waiting to drive up with another load, and ho says he thought that Stewart was through cleaning up his load and started to drive for ward, when Stewart struck one of the horses over the head with a pitchfork, causing it to jump, and then, Drumm claims, he de scended from the load and went around to the horses to quiet them, and after he had succeeded in doing this ho started to climb back on the load, when Stewart rushed at him. he claims, and struck him in the left leg with the tines of the pitchfork, and as he turned around struck him over the face with the pitchfork. The parties were separated and Drumm went to the house to wash the blood from his face, which was quite badly bruised and some different aspect to the case, although esveral parties in the vicinity where the parties resido have feared greatly that some more serious conflict between the parties would take place. Stewart was brought in Ihis morning by Mr. Manspeaker and arraigned in Justice Archer's court, but a continuance was granted in the case until Aug ust 2. Goes to Colorado to Rest. Last evening Itev.

He is feeling much im proved since his sojourn in Lin coln, but believes the Colorado cilmate will greatly benefit his health. Tuesday evening, July 15, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Taylor, south of town, a number of Hock Bluffers assumed the role of the Pawnee Indians and made an attack on the whites between the hours of l and t o'clock (that ghostly hour). Art Sul livan, Dig Chief Hole-in-the-Wall, was very successful with bis tribe in making an original attack and took the settlers by complete surprise. Oeorge Smith, "Big Yellow Smoke," was one of the accomplices in the grave af fair, and no doubt the "survivors" will remember his dusky face, how desperate he appeared in the moonlight. Mrs. Filchorn was present, too, and when she and "Hig Yellow Smoke" danced the w ar dance I hey all thought some iliing was going to happen. While Mrs. Art Sullivan was busily engaged looking after the little papooses, Mrs. Mary Sul livan, a native of Plattsmouth, acted as a typical squaw and went around consoling the rest of the tribe and spurring them on to the utmost until their blood was boiling. Dig Chief llole-in- the-Wall, with his tribe of numerous Pawnees, had a pretty hard lime of it and was nearly exhausted, together with his am munition and implements of war, before the inhabitants surrender ed. After all it was only a chari vari tendered to the newly-weds, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Stamp,, of Omaha, by the Rock Bluffers, and after a real hearty welcome and a good visit they returned to their respective homos very much pleased with the outcome of their little rebellion.

P. Livingston. Although the day was one of torrid heat, a rep resentative number of quiet, yet firm and enthusiastic ladies met for the development of their plans. After the opening busi ness was completed the ladies listened to two most interesting and instructive addresses. Re sponding to a request from the League, Attorney W. A. Robertson spoke on the subject, "The Ef fects of Equal Franchise in Ne braska Laws." He first traced the, development ''' of woman's status from the dark ages when she was property only, through the days of feudalism, when she was recognized, though unequal ly, in the inheritance laws, and then under only' certain condi tions; to the present day, when she holds the unique position of having equal rights with men, but not equal privileges. In con clusion, the effect of equal fran chise on the making and enforc ing of laws was discussed. Mrs. Robert Langlolz of New Y'ork City, sister of Mrs. E. A.
