moved from Its foundation ; on the
farm of Henry Kllno a barn was badly
wlsted ; a smoke house and barn bo
niglng to Emll Pofahl wore blown

CIVIL WAR BRAND HORROR.
nltlnl "D" Seared on Deserter from
Federal Army Iron Is Found.
Through the purchase of tbo Iroi
etter "D" with which the only bram
) f the civil war was soared Into th
cheek of a deserter , the story tba
shocked the nation at the tlmo , is re
called.
Tbo Iron has recently passed Inti
the possession of the Llbby Prison as
soclatlon of Chicago at a pnrchas
price of $40. and will bo placed amen
the relics of the war between th
north and the south.
It was purchased from one of th
veterans of the Seventy-fifth Indian ;
regiment , who took possession of I
when General U. S. Grant Issued hi
peremptory order commanding that n
soldier should bo branded for dose
tlon.
tlon.The
The brand was made upon the po
sonal order of Drlgadlor General Job
T. Wldler of Chlckamaugn fame b
John Schaeffer , regimental blaeksmlt
of the Seventy-fifth Indiana. It wa
applied to the cheek of Prlvato Ale :
Jordon by Prlvato W. S. Pearson , hi
tent mate , both of Company A , Sever
ty-flfth Indiana.
It was after the battle of Murfreo
bore , Tenn. , that Jordan deserted. H
was caught and brought back Into th
Hues , where It was ordered that tl
letter "D" should bo burned Into b
cheek , and as a warning to others
was ordered that the cntlro dlvlslo
should witness the punishment.
After tbo brand had been applied
Tordon was drummed out of camp In
front of a corporal's guard with fixed
bayonets.
Jordon made bis way back to his
homo at Nowhurst , Ind. , the longing
for which had prompted him to desert.
There he died of a broken heart two
months after he had reached Its shel
ter.

The nmall room In which tbo artist

hand-marks of the man of the studio.

of a remote dynasty to admire.
"Notwithstanding thin I am In love

up the broken fragments of old and
perfect art with a hurt look dulling
his eyes. "Henstly shame , and If all

ridden city without being able to make
careful preparation for their delivery.
On tbo mantelpiece were several
sketches , made slnco coming to Den

of tbo modern French school-masterly
technique , keen appreciation of values
and a prodigality In tbo use of colors
worthy of nature Itself.
"I have done nothing but those , "
said tbo nrtlst , "slnco coming west ,

The Persian rug In the hall moved
slightly as the artist told of his plans
for tbo future , a woo bead covered
with llaxoy hair , from beneath which
peered two round saucer-like blue

of the heavy silk curtain. The grand

nlnd and didn't want to at all. So

years , was shot and killed at the new
race track last evening , about G:30 :
o'clock by Philip James , a private de
tective and deputy constalflci Ac
cording to witnesses to the affair , the
killing of Lodge was a cold-blooded
affair.
.Tamos had been drinking during the
afternoon and bad engaged In quar
rels with various persons. At one
time ho flourished a pistol in the sa
loon of John Norton near the track
and the weapon was taken from him.
The pistol was placed behind the bar ,
but later It was returned to James.
Ho then left the saloon and was soon
engaged in another quarrel. A large
crowd gathered to watch the row.
James had drawn his pistol nnd was
threatening the man with whom he
was quarreling.
John Lodge was In the crowd of
spectators and when he saw the pistol
tel flourished ho stepped towards
James as a peacemaker. James placed
his weapon near the body of Lodge
and -tired , the bullet entering the nav
el , and he fell to the ground.
The spectators were horrified at the
act and rushed upon James and gave
him a terrible beating. He was
knocked down and kicked about the
head , face and chest. Ills clothing
was badly torn and there was some
talk of lynching the murderer , but
there was no leader to carry out the
threat. The man's face was so badly
beaten that Sheriff Reese did not rec-
ogni/.o him when be came upon the
scene.
The sheriff turned James over to
the keeping of Sheriff H. V. Grafton
of Santa Cruz , who was the guest of
Heese , and ho was taken to the county
jail , while Reese proceeded to make
Investigations about the shooting.
When Sheriff Reese arrived , Lodge
was still lying upon the ground , but
ho was too weak to talk and died a
few minutes later.
James was interviewed at the coun
ty Jail by District Attorney Seymour
and Sheriff Reese , but he was too
dazed , , either from the liquor he had
drunk or the beating he had received ,
to make an Intelligent statement re
gardlng the shooting. Ho gave con <
fllctjng versions of the affair , saying
at one time he was on the ground
when the shot was fired. Afterwards
he took back that statement. Ho ad
mltted that he had taken a few drinks
of liquor during the day.
This is not the first tlmo James has
had trouble here. Once , while In the
tailoring establishment of J. H. Holt-
man , ho drew a revolver upon the
proprietor. There were no witnesses
i and as James declared Heltman hat
' threatened to stab him with a pair ol
| scissors the matter was not pressed.
James , who has been living on the
Upper Stockton Road , was deputized
| as a constable some tlmo ago by Con
stable Goggess of Oak Park and has
made himself conspicuous about the
park over slnco tbo opening of the rac
Ing season. During a fight at the
track a few days ago James Attempted
to draw bis pistol but some ono prevented
vented him from doing so.
Coroner Gormley took charge of the
body of Ledge nnd removed U to the
| morgue.

Views of the Live Stock Markets at
South Omaha , C. A. Mallory , Mgr.
South Omaha , Sept. 20. Cattle
Receipts of cattle are well up to the
average for this time of the year and
general conditions seem to be favor
able for a good .clearance of the west
ern run at all markets. Feeder prices
are low enough to tempt the regular f
buyers of this class of stock and the
scarcity of corn-fed cattle necessitates
liberal orders for the best grades by
the packers. We have confidence In
prices for corn-fed cattle being well
sustained throughout tbo season and
this , with a strong demand for feed
ers to utilize the abundance of feed
in the country , will undoubtedly be
conducive to an active and satisfac
tory trade.
All classes of stockers and feeders
rule about steady , good to choice me
dium weight and heavy feeders sellIng -
Ing at $3.CO@4.00 ; fair to good medium
weight feeders $3.30@3.GO ; fair to
good stockers $3.00@3.50.
We are fully equipped to handle the
feeder trade to the best possible ad
vantage and advise our readers who
are In need of cattle to communicate
with us as soon as possible as to their
wants , as we look for a strong demand
and steady prices generally during the
season and think cattle well handled
