3unday T. L. Sohlck, Esq., and
wife and child were taking a sleigh
ride behind the "family horse,"
when, in making a turn the sleigh
was upset, the barrister and his fami
ly were spilled out. None were hurt
more than slight bruises, we believe.
The horse got away, and after making
a desperate effort to run, gave it np,
and was caught, even thesleigh being'
none the worse for the "runaway."
While Ted Huddart was driving his
nice mare last Saturday to a sleigh,
ooming down Main street, she sud

was hurt, but not very badly. The
mare became scared, we believe, at be
ing surrounded by numerous boys
and their sleds attached to the sleigh.
On Tuesday night when Josh
Rogers was closing his livery stable
for the night, fastening the door on
the outside, a shot was fired at him
from a few rods up the sidewalk west
of him. He thinks the shot was in
tended for him becausit came so near
hitting him, he hearing the ball hiss
apparently within a few inches of his
head. He immediately hastened in
the direction from whence the shot
came, but saw no one, and whether
an attempt was made to assassinate or
the shot was fired accidentally by
some one, as yet remains a mystery.
Finch the lecturer, failed to come
to time Tuesday night as per appoint
ment. This was an aggravating disap
pointment to many who were anx
iously expecting him, but moat of
those who knew of the present fight
now going on atLincolu over the pro
hibition question, acquiesced to the
disappointment with commendable
good nature, and pay the hall rent
without using it with as good grace
as possible.
Mr. Skinner, president of the State
Temperance societies telegraphed
that it was impossible for Finch to
visitBrownvillethis week, on account
of the importance of the work at Lin
coln, of which Mr. Finch is the lead
er, but that next week Finch would
be here.
Tuesday afternoon at a meeting
hastily convened, of prominent tem
perance men, the subject of the" disap
pointment and the absolute necessity
of Finch's remaining at the capital at
this time, was considered, and action
taken excusing him. Rev. Wilson,
who stated his intention of visiting
Lincoln this week, was instructed to
see Mr. Finch and obtain another def
inite promise from him for lectures in
Brownville at as early a date as possi
ble. We will now believe in Finch lect
uring here only when we see him in
town, but will put-littlo confidence In
promises hereafter.

Great Reductions in hoots
at McGee - Moore's.
AToung man ofPeru, by the name
of Hifgins, some time ago was down
to tbi. city, and while taking a drink
with orae of the boys, told them that
Frank Wilson, who took away Josh
Rogen' horse some time ago and ha3
not bein heard from since, had purch
ased a an of mules of him and paid
for then, and that he still had the
mules in his possession. Rogers hear
ing of this avownl, "went for" the
youngman, when he denied having
sold hs mules or saying that he had ;
but being brought face to face with
partiis who heard him say he bad
sold iis mules to Wilson, he "owned
up," and told Rogers be would pay
him at the horse which Wilson took
away. On Monday this week Sheriff
Black, with his efficient deputy, Lan-
non, called on Mr. Higgins in the in
terest of Rogers, and received from
him S75 in payment for the horse.
This was not the full value of the
horse, but Josh did not want to be
hard on him. When be paid the
money he declared to the Sheriff that
he did not sell the mules to Wilson
and never received a cent for them,
and that he elmply paid for the horse
to save his mules and get out of a dif
ficulty he had Inadvertently got into
by "sho'oticg off" his mouth boast
Ingly whili drunk. That Higgins
tells different stories about that mat
ter and other things connected with
the dlsippearance of Wilson, is cer
tain, therefore what the real facts are
is left only for surmise speculation.
The saddle and bridle taken by Wil
son with the horse were found in
Higgins' possession and a photograph
picture of Wilson was found in his
pocket. He accounts for the saddle
being found with him by saying he
traded saddle with Wilson ; and the
bridle, he says Wilson left with him,
having purchased a new one. These
stories may be like the one about the
mnles, true or false. They look thin
io us and we decline to take Mr. Hig
gifls'B word. There 3 now s. stigma
and dark suspicion resting on young
Higgins that will rest there unless
facta are brought to light regarding!
the whereabouts of Wilson that will
exonerate him. Opinions are freely
expressed that Wilson never ot fur
ther than Peru, that he and the spot
ted horse are now probably under tbe
ice of the Missouri, that Wilson had
a large sum of money about him, that
he gambled, etc Mr. Higgins has
told, as a "rumor," avowing no
knowledge himself about it, that
Wilson got into a game, and that he
was plucked of a thousand or so; and
he has mentioned some names. From
the fact that he has named parties as
playing with Wilson who are not
gamblers and never play, this story
deserves only to be regarded as the
thoughtless lie of one endeavoring to
screen himself, and ready to say or do
anything to avoid present danger.
Regarding the gambling of Wilson
we have taken some pains to enquire.
Had he been a gambler he could very
easily bad a game in this city, but
notwithstanding he was here for some
months, we are well satisfied he nev
er played a game of poker In Brown
ville; and this fact leads us to the
reasonable conclusion that Frank
Wilson was not a poker player, and
that all the surmises of poker and
murder are Idle bosh. Young Hig
gins should bestir himself for self
vindication, and meantime put a pad
lock upon his irresponsible mouth, or
he mayyethaveto encounter troubles
far more serious than he has yet had.
Or eat reductions in prie es
at McPherson's for sixty
days. Some people think that Senator
Howe's abandonment of the Green
backers and Democrats who elected
him will be his political ruin in
this
county. This would be so with any
man but Mr. Howe, but if one will
take a casual glance back over his po
litical inconsistencies, and betrayals,
they will see that he has done several
equally as "suicidal" things, and still
lived. In the campaign of 1874 he
promised Republicans that if elected
he would support some Republican
for TJ. S. Senator, and this promise no
doubt materially aided his election.
But he went back on that promise and
voted for Patrick, a Bourbon, all the
time. In the campaign of 1S76 his
treason was not remembered against
him, or if it was, by a few Republi
cans, he gained more than he lost,
from the Democrats, who loved that
kind of treason, and be was again
elected. And in the campaign of 1876
be promised to defeat that servant of
the great monopoly, forTJ. S. Senator.
But again be violated his solemn
pledges to tbe people, and his votes
and utmost efforts were used in favor
of P. W. Hitchcock. But again, in
1S78 he was forgiven, and in some
way or other received nearly his usual
majority. Now again he betrayB his
followers deserts them and goes over
into ranks of their enemy. But this
little episode in Mr. Howe's exceed
ingly checkered political life, will be
accounted as naught, when he choos
es to run again. His majority will be
increased instead of diminished.
Some of his Democratic adherents
will "let up on him." bnt his acquisi
tions from Republicans who have
hitherto voted against him will make
up much more than his losses will be.
Mr. Howe's boast that his joining the
Republican party will bring back the
party to figures of former years, al
though, derided, is not we believe, a
vain boast. We have been surprised
within the past two weeks at hearing
old Independents, who used to vote
the Republican ticket, but who have
not voted it for some years, boldly in
dorsing Mr. Howe's recent political
aotion at Lincoln; and to-aay all,
with few exceptions, old Republicans
who followed Howe out of tbe party
are ready to follow him back again.
As for ub, a worker In the interest of
the Republican party, ever anxious to
hail with welcomes recruits to our
ronka, and without indorsing Mr.
Howe's past record, and with the full
and firm conviction that his entrance
into the Republican party is for polit
ical strength and partisan ends, just
as it was when he left it, we enjoy
his coming back very much indeed,
for in his return the Republican party
of this county is strengthened, and a
successful disorganizing element sub
dued. And we would rather have
Mr. Howe for us than against us.
