We publish elsewhere a reply to
Byron Millett from John Walker,
concerning the expenee of the town
ship law in St. Bernard township.
John flourishes what appear to be
formidable figures, but we apprehend
that some of them at least are not at
all chargeable to the law for township
organization. We understand that
Mr. Walker's position is in favor
of township government, as a system,
but ntterly opposed to Nebraska's law
upon that subject.

A meeting of citizens was held
Monday evening at the City Hall for
consultation in regard to the con
struction of a steam flour grist mill in
this city. The meeting was presided
over by L. Gerrard, J. G. Higgins
acting as secretary. Several short
speeches were made, there being no
two opinions as to the desirability of
a mill for this locality. When Messrs.
Jaeggi k Schopbach declared that
they had concluded to erect a mill
and would do so without asking any
bonus, the object of the meeting
seemed to be accomplished.. This

Such is the present appearance of
the large new Skating Rink erected
last summer on 13th street, and the
old landmark south of it known as the
Hoffman warehouse, owned in late
years by G. W. Hoist.
The fire was first, noticed by Ter.
rence Brady, living in theapper story
of the Elmers building adjoining tho
HardelK property on .the west, and
when first seen, there was a space of
about four feet square burned in the
wall of the building on the'west side
near ibe northwest corner.! Imme
diately the town was awakened by
the yells of startled citiaens' and by
the. cjanging of the "fire bells. In a
few. moments the fire ,. department
was vigorously at work and so con-,
tinned uatU-dadgsr was past, at about
aix o'clock; : '
From, the first if was very evident
that no part of the Rink could he sav
ed, the fiasores being fierce and sweep
ing and the wind' from a northerly
direction.- All efforts were therefore
directed to saving ihe'adjacent build
ings. The Elmers building was on
fire several times, on the outside stair
way, the window, casements and at
the roof, but. the vigilance of the fire
men and the ceaseless activity of Mr.
Brady kept it In hand.
A strong- effort was made to save
the warehouse, and some of the fire
men we're inclined "to think it could
have been done had the hose been
first-class, but we doubt it. The
building was kindling wood and the
flames were too fierce to stay them in
the short distance. The warehouse
was rented .by Messrs. Wermuth &
Boettcher, .the well-known hardware
firm of lltlr streot, and was full of
goods In their line such, as nails, barb
wire, corn-planters, stoyes, &c, &c,
goods in all amounting to $5,000, in
sured for $3,000. There was no insur
ance on the warehouse, value $500.
The insurance on the Rink and con
tents was $2,100, all- lost.- The dam
age to Elmers' building was probably
$250; C. Davis's, slight; Columbus
Canning Co., slight; Elmers,' stable
$20; Engel's damage by removal of
goods from residence $10; O. A.
Stearns, same, $25."
.This was the third fire in .the city
within two weeks. We don't think
that any one believes this to have been
incendiary. There. had been a dance
at the Skating Rink, and we under
stand that the last person left the Ri nk
at about fifteen minutes after two.
We may as well close this news
item with a Bhort but .very loud call
for better appliances to fight fire. It
has been demonstrated time and again
that the firemen are efficient and do
their work admirably--couldn't do
better but they need better facilities.
The town has simply been lucky here
tofore, when fires have broken out, in
not having high winds. We have, in
memory, one, two, three, four occas
ions, in recent years, when with a
strong wind, such as we are liable to
have any moment, a very considera
ble portion of the business part of the
town would have slid away, and it
becomes the energetic business men
of the place to do something before
their places are -swept off.
- A. nrdere Assaalt
One of the most brutal assaults we
have ever heard of was made near
this city Friday last upon the persons
of S. S. Burns and F. D. McMurray,
two young men from Appanoose
connty, Iowa, who were on their way
to northwestern Nebraska. They had
a covered wagon and were driving a
fonr-horee team. Near Fremont, a
man by the name of Robt. B. Eastling
asked for a ride, stating that he had a
brother living at Schuyler, where he
wished to stop. He continued with
them, 6aying that his brother had
come to Columbus. When about a
mile and a half east of this city, the
two young men sitting in the seat of
the wagon, not having any suspicion
that a murderous fiend was their com
panion, they were dealt treacherous
and murderous blows on the back of
the head with a blacksmith's hammer
weighing probably a pound and a
half. Both were knocked out of the
wagon, one of them being run over
by one wheel. Their wounds were
cared for at the office of Drs. Martyn
& Schug, and the men are now stop
ping at Shepherd's Hotel, and seem
not to be seriously injured. The team
became too unmanageable for East
ling and supposing that other parties
(coming along the road near by) were
pursuing him, be abandoned the team
and endeavored to make good his
escape. Within fifteen minutes, offi
cers John Hnber and John Burrell
were in pursuit of him, and instinct
ively tracked him toward the B. & M.
railroad bridge where Hnber stopped
with the wagon. Bnrrell proceeded
across the bridge on foot, captured his
man abont three miles from the south
end of the bridge, in -Butler county,
and marched him northward at the
end of a pistol. As will be seen else
where, he was at once promptly in
dicted, a special grand jury being
empanelled. The young men sup
pose that Easterling's design was to
kill them, await a convenient oppor
tunity to dispose of their bodies, and
he would thus have their team and
outfit. It seems he made no attempt
to rifle their pockets.
A new swindle is said to be going
the " rounds. Two scamps travel
through the country purporting to
represent a detective organization,
and exhibit ah abundant supply of
authoritative papers and documents to
that effett. Every man they hold a
secret conference with, they endeavor
to install him as a private detective
for the community on condition of
thepaysaeatof 5.. Maybe they take
his sigaatare also, which eventually
willUnra up at the bottom of a note.
Being oa a secret mission they enjoin
the greatest. secrecy which contrib
utes woaderfallyto the saecees of
their.schesse. The victim feels under
obligations to keep his knowledge
sacred, uatil ,bis suspicions become
aroused, then he would, not cheep it
for shame. Schuyler Sun.

A
gentleman in from Niobrara
teljs
a reporter that a multitude is
now waiting to make settlement on
the Santee Ian dp, which are to be
opened on May 15. The Indians
have selected the valley lands, leaving
about sixty-eight sections of upland
to be taken on the day of opening.
Competent land lawyers, including B.
J. Chambers, of Niobrara, ex-receiver
of the land office, say that a homestead
settlement can be made any time after
midnight of May 14, and that the tim
ber culture filings cannot go back of
9 a. m., the hour the land office i$
opened on May 15. So there are
likely to be no timber claims filed.
As high as $50 is offered in vain for
guarantee of a timber claim on the
reservation. The above we take from
the Sionx City Journal. A map
showing these lands may bo seen at
this office.

MERRICK COUNTY.
From the Nonpareil's Silver Creek Cor
respondence. Mr. W. H. Winterbotham, who has
been putting in a stock of hardware
in Hill's new store, expects to begin
business some time this week.
Mr. Geo. Smith, son of Mr. S. C
Smith, is seriously thinking of start
ing a newspaper at this place. George
is an active, intelligent young man,
has had several years experience in
printing offices, and Is doubtless well
competent to manage a business of
this sort. Our people should give
him every encouragement.
Mr. S. C. Smith and Hon. Leander
Gerrard, both of Columbus, have
bought all the vacant land on the vil
lage section, which includes it all. ex
cept three eighties and the town plat.
They are abont laying off additions to
the village. On some of theso Iota
bouses will be built for rent as the
demand may require. These gentle
men are of the opinion that the town
is bound to grow and prove their
faith in their works.
BELLWOOD.
From the Reporter.
W. T. Calloway had an exciting
little scrimmage with a mad dog on
Monday. The rapid animal was first
noticed in his yard running at a rapid
rate and snapping at objects in its
course, having bitten one bog and
attacked others. Mr. Calloway secur
ed a club and awaited the coming of
the dog which beaded directly for
where he was standing, frothing at
the mouth and eyes sot. As the ani
mal came within reach Mr. C. dealt it
a heavy blow on the head. The dog
only swayed and without making the
slightest noise passed on into the
buggy shed near by when the door
was closed and the dog secured. Yes
terday Mr. Calloway opened the door
and the dog ran out and was shot at
once. There is no question but that
the canine had hydrophobia and it
was a fortunate thing that Mr. Callo
way succeeded in its destruction.
COLFAX COUNTY.
From the Sun.J
Charley Bradford, in endeavoring
to take off his overcoat at church
Sunday.'pulled off both coats, leaving
himself in his shirt sleeves. The
church people smiled, despite the
solemnity of the occasion.
Mr. Erichsen received two wagon
loads of eggs from Butler county last
week, which came around by way of
North Bend. A man in Butler coun
ty having contracted bis corn herd, is
also delivering it to Mr. Wright by
way of the Bend.
Willie Kropf died Friday morning
of diphtheria. Thix is the third child
of Mr. Fred. Kropf'n family taken off
with thn dread disease in the t-h rt
space of three weeks. It is the most
distressing instance of affliction that
has ever occurred in the town.
A. Taylor, Eq., living in Midland
precinct brings some cakes of home
made Nebraska sap-sugar, made from
Box-Elder trees he set out himself.
The sample here is very fine and there
is no good reason why this should not
become a paying industry in the state.
