Company L N N G ami members
of the First regiment baud camo in from
camp nt Hastings Saturday night all
more or less fagged as the result of the
duties and excitement of camp lifo
They had a uniformly good time and
with the exception of tho saloon trouble
nothing occurred to mar tho occasion
The members wero quite indignant
that what thoy term an injustice to the
company had been done by tho news
paper correspondents They wero es
pecially severe in their denunciation of
tho World Herald article from which
The Nrws gleaned a portion of its in
formation the balanco coming through
its regular telegraphic news service
That there was an iujustico done tho
company there seems to be no room for
doubt as all agree that no members of
company L participated in tho riot
That it is easy to make a mistake nmst
be admitted however wheu it is known
that the reporter for The Nrws heard
three different stories regarding some of
tho main facts in the transaction from
three different members of the company
Biuce they came home
Almost the entire blame as far as the
company is concerned is thrown upon
young Law who was absent from camp
without leave nud they held rightly
enough that if he had obeyed orders no
trouble would have occurred It is also
true that no trouble would have taken
place had he not been a member and if
he was to blame for disobeying orders
the company was likewise to blame for
admitting him and one or two others of
known bad repute to membership
No one desires more than The News
that the company shall have a good name
and it is sorry that the disturbance hap
pened and that misleading statements
should have been made It will do its
part to rectify any wrong that has been
done and hopes that the company will
use every effort to so build up remodel
or control its membership that in the
future no possible grounds will exist
for a belief that the company is morally
degenerate For like any other organ
ization the reputation is not judged by
its best member but by its very worst
The News has taken pains to inter
view Captain Alfred Gerecke regarding
the trouble and will give his version of
the affair as near as possible which
conclusively proves that the company
was not concerned in the riot even in a
minority
According to Captain Gerecke there
were but two men of Company L en
gaged in the trouble These were Pri
vates Perry Law and John Kuhl who
wero absent from camp without leave
Regarding the balance of the company
24 were ready to report when ordered
out to quell the disturbance three were
on guard mount and the whereabouts
of the other three of tho 32 were known
When the trouble began Captain
Gerecke was in a restaurant next to the
saloon eating his supper He says that
the first he knew of the trouble a brick
was hurled through the window of the
restaurant He at once got into the
btreet and ordered members of the bri
gade back to camp His authority was
not questioned except by a sextette of
First regiment members who said they
had a captain and several lieutenants
but that Captain Gerecke resembled
none of them and they refused to obey
He said he would look up their captain
and made an effort but was uuccessful
He was soon aided in the work of stop
ping the riot by the colonels of the regi
ment and other officers from camp and
it was not long until quieted down
As far as the start of the trouble was
concerned he knew little personally
However he had a talk with C P
Nelson of Axtell who was a witness to
the entire affair Mr Nelson says he
was standing at one end of the saloon
bar and heard very little disturbance
except that the bar tender was endeav
oring to induce Law to pay for a drink
The first hostile move was made by the
bartender who reached under the bar and
secured a glass which he hurled at Law
cutting several gashes in his face He
then hit him with a beer bottle About
this time the owner of the place started
around the end of the bar and Law struck
him whereupon he beat Law over the
head with the butt end of a revolver
giving him five or six hard blows
The captain was of the opinion that
Law was not drunk as he had no mouey
nud had not been down from camp long
enough to acquire a jug even though he
had the money
Private Spauldiug was among tho first
to arrive on tho scene after the riot
He found Law lying out ou the side
walk iu a helpless coudition and at ouce
took him out to camp His usage
beemed to have crazed Law and when
on tho way to camp Spauldiug had the
utmost difficulty in restraining him from
violence and ub it was he gave bis bene
factor an ugly bite on the arm It took
several men to hold Law nud he was
finally tied while the surgeon was dress
ing his wounds and even then he
squirmed around so that it was imper
fectly dono nud it wns only after ho
enmo to his senses somo honrs after that
his wounds could Iks perfectly dressed
Ho will probably be scarred on his faco
for life
Captain Gerecke says there wero six
police officers standing near during tho
riot with their clubs out and could easily
have quelled tho tumult had they mado
an effort
One of tho Hough Riders who at
tempted to restore order was promptly
unhorsed Ho rode into the crowd with
tho threat that ho would shoot tho man
who throw a brick Tho crowd took
him off his horso took his weapons
awny from him and chased him tip a
back alley
Owing to the darkness it was impos
sible to distinguish faces but tho cap
tain is positive that no more than one
of company Ls members was engaged
in tho assault on tho snloou

1 t Emmons of Lincoln came down
from Battle Creek this noon with his
pair of ferocious looking bloodhounds
with which ho had successfully trailed
the burglars who robbed tho general
merchandise store of Hull iV Meiucko
Monday night
Plie trail was taken at the store and
iu just VJ minutes the intelligent brutes
had located the robbers at a house lit
Battle Creek where they wero promptly
placed under arrest A portion of tho
goods was found in the house and tho
evidence against tho men one of whom
is named Tyler aud formerly lived in
this city is strong They were turned
over to Sheriff Losey and he has taken
them to Madison and placed them iu
tho county jail to awaif trial
Mr Emmons will leave this evening
for Ainsworth where ho will endeavor
to overhaul some cattle thieves One of
his animals is a genuine Cuban blood
hound and both have a record for over
hauling many crimnals
Their owner says the dogs rarely
miss their guess on a trail not over S or
10 hours old and have successfully
worked a trail 7J hours old iu wet
weather
Mr Emmons is working for himself
aud if kept quite busy deriving a very
considerable income from tin business
Owing to their savage disposition Mr
luminous keeps his hounds constantly
muzzled and when on a trail ho does
not let them get further away from him
than the end of a leather thong which
is six or eight feet in length Ho states
that when confined in a baggage car
they show n disposition to prevent the
baggage men from doing their work and
would probably drive tliein out but for
tho fact that they are muzzled and tied
They seem to think that no one but their
owner has a right to move any goods in
their immediate vicinity If not re
strained the dogs would literally eat
ui the thieves they trail
Messrs Hall and Meincke are very
well pleased with the work done for
them aud all who witnessed the work
ings of the dogs were delighted with the
intelligence they displayed
Among tho things taken by the burg
lars was a box containing policies
money warrants to the amount of j0
and some certificates of mining stock
They gained entranco by breaking tho
glass out of a side window
