L,ucfcey, trie troUDle said to arise over some trespass by cattle. In proceedings for a change of venue the case somehow dropped through the bridge into the creek.

This was one of the largest and finest rinks in the state, costing something like 12,000, carry ing some insurance. The fire is sup posed to be the work of an incendiary.

Graud Prairie Literary Society and Alliance met on their regular night at the Redeubaugh school house. The literary part was good and the debate vas strongly contested and was decided by the judgei in favor of the affirmative, but the negative, not being satisfied with the decision, took an appeal to the house, when the de cision was reversed by a large major ity.

When we shook bands Monday morning with our old neighbor Jacob Ernst, be begged of us to be gentle, and showed fresh blisters that looked as though he bad been pitching scores of tons of bay in the last day or two, but he explained that he had been rescuing fence posts from a fire that, had it occurred at night, might have burned up his cribs, implement house, work shop, barn, &c. The fire origi nated from the smouldering remains of a burnt straw stack that was sup posed to be dead ashes, until a strong wind Sunday at 1 p. m. demonstrated differently. In Stanton county, near the town of Madison, there is a farm consisting of thirty-six sections that is called the Township farm. It has, in its time, had quite a history, as the managers from time to time, might relate. The last Madison Chronicle adds this scrap : "We have it by grapevine telephone that one of the ranchmen on the Township has an income of twenty seven thousand dollars a year, and that his wife sports a two-hundred dollar poodle dog. The lady of the house brought three lady friends and the servants with her to spend the summer. She rides in a barouche with a liveried coachman driving a four-in-hand, goes bunting, rides to hounds and raises tbe bucolic envy of the surrounding neighborhood." Three "vagrants" were taken up Saturday, and fined fl.00 and costs, smounting to about 3.90, all told. Two and a half days grading on the streets makes a good job of work. If it becomes generally known that the Columbus authorities will find work for every man that has no visible means of support, and yet is loitering around the town the tramp nuisauce will be somewhat abated here. What ever any particular tramp may be, there is no doubt but the tribe, as a rule, are criminals, quasi-criminals, or liable to become such on very slight provocation, and the most summary remedy known to the books is, in our opinion, icork, avobk, WORK, and that for the good of the city pestered oy mem. An outrageous assault was mai Tuesday night of last week upon Miss Emma Davis, daughter of S. G. Davis of this city. She was returning home from John Ruber's where she bad been, and after passing the Catholic church noticed a man following her, but supposed he lived beyond. When between Henggler'a and Giesie's he made an assault upon her threatening to kill her if she did not submit to bis devilish purposes. She, however was strong enough to combat him ssfniiv. nrt rnnNn.,. . u successfully, and courageous enontrh to yell for help and the pity is that the wretch wa3 not shot down. As it was, he escaped.

Ametker Fire. Monday morning at about 1 :45 a fire broke out in the rear of the Do mestic Bakery, a one-story frame building adjoining tbe Marshall Smith brick on tbe west, owned by G. W. Phillips, and occupied for the last year by Wm. Ferguson, as a bakery, restaurant and candy store. A few of tbe contents were saved. No other buildings were even scorched, except the cornice of the brick standing alongside, damaged perhaps two hundred dollars or so. A light breath of air from the south carried cinders into Hugbs's lumber yard, and over the dwelling houses north, going as far as Mr. Hake's, but resulting in no damage. Mr. Ferguson had an insurance with two companies, amounting to IS00, while Mr. Phillips bad none upon the building. The origin of the fire is not known. The last use of a light fire was for making yeast. Mr. Ferguson's stock on bands, including the fixtures is variously estimated at eight hundred to one thousand dollars. The firemen, as always, did their full duty. We may remark, however, as heretofore, that tbe city needs better appliances for fighting fire. This is tbe third fire in a few weeks on 13th street, two in this block and one across tbe street. A horse was stolen Tuesday night of last week from D. D. Shaff, and a saddle from L. D. Clark. Postal cards were sent out broadcast, and one of these on Saturday last fell into the hands of Cyrus D. Buck, a sturdy farmer living about eleven miles from Cumminsville, Wheeler county. In a few minute? afterwards a fellow rode up for dinner, and Mr. Buck saw that tbe man and horse were those wanted and took them in charge. Sheriff Kavanaugb was notified and went up Sunday, returning Monday, accom panied by Mr. Buck and his prisoner, who was landed in jail. Mr. Buck went away well pleased with his treatment by Clark, Shaff and the Sheriff. We suppose, however, that for some time to come he will remem ber hi tussle with tbe justice of the peace, who wished to give the fellow a hearing, and either "bind him over" or let him go. A Editor' Trlbate. Theron K. Keator, editor of Ft.

There was a dauce at Dr. William Edwards place about four miles from towu that wan attended by most of our town folks. We were not present, but from our knowledge of the doctor we are satisfied that it was a pleasaut affair. We are pleased to see the prom inent men of Platte Center taking an interest in the general appearauce of the place. John Macken, John A., ivehoe, Charles L,. Larng, David H. Carrig and several other gentlemen are planting trees, and making gar den. The A.

He very kindly showed vour reporter the desk. It is called the "Paragon," and has he says many advantages over the desks of other makes. The dance given by Mr. David II. Carrig of this place was a success in the fullest sense. The hall wa6 full of tair ladies and gallant men, and although the admonitory twitching ot old wounds forbade us join in "tbe light fantastic," we felt like re peating the words of the poem. "On with the dauce let joy be unconfined, &c." We noticed while there a gen tleman who had evidently lost his fair partner, for he was repeating in a whisper as he anxiously scanned the faces of the ladies present and peeped into every nook, "Oh ! where, Oh ! where has she gone." We had a pleasant visit from Com rade Geo. W. Kibbler, on Tuesday. George travels in the interest of the lirm of A. & M. Turner, of ColumbuB. He informed us that business was pretty good, and we think that if there is any, George will get it. He has just sold a Domestic Sewing Machine to Miss Mazy Carrig of this vicinity which gives perfect satis faction. One of the members of the firm, Miss M. Turner, was in town on the same day looking after the in terests of the bouse, but we regret that we did not have the opportunity of paying our respects. Those young ladies believe that "if you take care of your business your business will take care of you." Letter L.1m(.
