Tho Improved Stock Breeders
Association and the Nebraska Short
barn Breeders Association met in Fre
mont last week, and were royally enter
tained by the wide-awake, enterprising
citizons. We notice among the printed
proceedings that S. M. Barker, a former
resident here and a well-known man of
large experience with sheep, gave his
views on feeding, which were listened to
with marked attention. He said he
came to Nebraska fourteen years ago to
raise sheep, but found at that time the
stato was not a good producing one, and
he has since confined his attention to
feeding. In his pens the sheep are so
closely confined that they touch each
other." They must bo kept quiet. He
declares that he has as good mutton as
is produced in England. He feeds all
they can eat and no more; has powdered
rock salt from Kansas before them all
the time, waters them twice a day, feeds
them wheat screenings and corn, use3
plenty of bedding and stints on nothing
but hay. Each sheep eats about four
and one-half bushels of screenings and
corn. Ho recommends long feeding and
thinks they weigh better and bring more
money. Tho next annual meeting of the
two associations will bo held in this city
somo time in February, 1894, and wo
suppose that for this, Columbus is in
debted to Mr. Barker and R. H. Henry,
who were in attendance.
A man named Lockwood was given
twenty days in tho county jail at Central
City, on a charge of stealing from the
residence of James Davis, near Clarks.
He was riding a pretty fine horse when
captured. In his possession were found
several watches, a now revolver and a
quantity of small jewelry. He claimed
Grand Island as his home Albert
Smith, tho twelve year old son of Will.
Smith, living two miles north of Mar
quette, had the sad misfortune to have
his right arm shot off last Thursday,
while out hunting with a couple of his
brothers a gun in the hands of one of
the latter being discharged through the
the catching of the trigger on a barb
wire fence through which the boys were
crawling. The arm had to bo amputated
just a few inches below the shoulder.

Mrs. S. O. Raymond died Wednes
day, after a protracted illness. Tho
funeral took place from the residence,
Rev. Duncan Joudon officiating. She
leaves her husband and one son to
mourn hor departure to the spirit land.
An intelligent lad' and of a remarkably
amiable disposition, Mrs. Raymond's
friends were only limited by tho number
of her acquaintances, for all who knew
her loved her, and that affection on tho.
part of her family amounted to adora
tion. It is only in the sacred precincts
of home and near and dear friends that
such a character as hers can be justly
appreciated, and no language can tell
tho loss that they feel, or mitigate their
anguish.
There goes a story the rounds hero
of two "workers" from Platte county,
who have spent considerablo timo at
Lincoln, and approached a legislator to
have him bo a candidate for speaker of
the house. If wo should tell his name,
all his acquaintances would recognize
the fact that he is not one of tho kind to
be readily deceived by such proffers and
protestations of help. He answered that
he was poor, and couldn't even afford to
buy a suit of clothes, which a man ought
to have before thinking of running for
such a high office. They gavo him twen
ty dollars to buy a suit of clothes, and
ho declares that he still has the twenty
dollars.
If tho school districts or Platte were
laid out after the plan suggested by
Sup'L Reed of Gago county, some of tho
children would not have so far to walk as
they do now. His scheme is to lay out
the districts in the shape of a cross, and
containing fivo sections of land, tho
school hoiibo to be in the center of tho
middlo section, thus making the greatest
distance to be traveled (not counting
angles) one mile and a half. Tho plan is
well worthy consideration, as is also Mr.
Schelp's bill which has passed the house,
allowing a pupil of one district to attend
tho nearest school even of another dis
trict, tho pay being made out of tho
stato apportionment to his home district.
Senator-elect Allen met with a royal
reception last Wednesday ovening at
Humphrey and at Madison, on his return
from the senatorial campaign at Lincoln.
Ono enthusiastic populist in tho crowd
at Humphrey oxclaimed: "We'll make
you president yet," and a democrat yell
ed: "Hurrah for tho first democratic
senator of Nebraska." The band was
out and enlivened the scene with good
mnsic. D. L. Bruen went up to Madison
with tho new senator, returning on tho
freight train later in the ovening. The
part of tho proceedings at Madison that
seemed to cling most tenaciously in his
memory was two large Newfoundland
dogs carrying flags in their mouths.
C. E. Early has opened out in tho
rooms in the rear of the First National
bank, Twolfth street, this city, as a real
estato and general insurance agent. In
insurance ho represents a number of the
best, most reliable and strongest com
panies known in the country, and will
transact business for them on strictly
business principles value received at
all times. Mr. Early is a young man
well known in this community, and
whoso business record is a very envitible
ono indeed. Being thoroughly informed
in prices and values of land and city
property, those having purchases, 6ales
or exchanges of land to effect will do
well to give him a call, tf

Columbus will have two applicants
for honors at Fremont this week Rev.
J. B. Leedom who is a candidate for
department chaplain, and S. L. McCoy
for adjutant. There is no rivalry what
ever between the two, and each wishes
the other the success that ho merits,
and we could hope that both of them
may be selected for the respective
places. Both are familiar with Grand
Armv affairs, and fully capable for the
positions. It will be quite an honor to
Columbus to secure these two positions
for members of Baker post.

Brutal Axsaiilt.
About 5 o'clock Monday of last week
Miss Lotta Paynter (formerly a resident
of this city, and sister of Mrs. O. L.
Baker), was assaulted by an unknown
man, and though the villain was fright
ened from his purpose, the shock may be
too great for the young lady to survive.
Sho is 17 years of age, and lives with
her brother and widowed mother at 1102
South Eleventh street, Omaha. Sho and
her mother had been out Monday calling
on some friends, and Miss Lotta returned
to tho house alone, her mother remaining
up town to order somo groceries.
As the clock struck 5 she heard what
sho supposed was her mother's voice
calling to hor from the back yard. The
back steps being covered with ice, she
thought her mother needed help, and
hastened to her assistance. When she
reached the porch, sho was seized from
bohind by a man, who threw ono arm
around her waist and placing his left
hand ovor her mouth, lifted' her from
her feet and carried her toward the coal
shed, behind the houso.
She attempted to scream, but the
scoundrel clutched her throat and
threatened death if she made an outcry.
By this time her assailant had forced
her into the coal shed, and, realizing
that her honor was at stake, tho girl
struggled with all her strength against
tho villain. The Bee, from which wo
condenso this account, says that tho
brute then grasped her by the hair and
threw her against tho coal bin with snch
force that sho was rendered insensible
and knew no more until she recovered
to find herself lying in her own room
with her mother bending anxiously over
her.
It was just a quarter of an hour after
the man called Miss Paynter into tho
back yard that her mother returned and
on goingout after a scuttle of coal found
her daughter lying unconscious on the
floor of the shed. Help was summoned
and the insensible girl was brought into
the house and restoratives applied. It
was a long timo before Bho opened her
eyes and she remained unconscious most
of the time until 10 o'clock. Besides tho
nervous shock she had suffered sho was
half frozen through lying in tho shed
when tho thermometer was several de
grees below zero, and had she not been
discovered just when she was tho chances
aro that sho would nover have regained
consciousness.
Evidently the rascal who perpetrated
the assault believed that he had killed
her when she fainted and made his
escape without any further effort to carry
out his purpose. Ho was a tall man with
no board except a mustache and was
evidently upwards of 30 years old. He
answers the description of a man who
has been noticed loafing around a tough
saloon most of tho time during the
winter.
As sho left tho house in the morning
she saw the man standing on the corner.
He stared at her in an insulting manner.
Tho brute had evidently carefully
planned his work. He had seen both
mother and daughter go away in the
morning and tho latter return aloue.
He knew that she was alone in tho house
and that there was no ono to prevent
him from carrying out his devilish plan,
and but for tho girl's heroic resistance
he wonld havo undoubtedly succeeded
in his revenge. Ho imitated the voice
of Mrs. Paynter so successfully that the
girl was completely deceived and did
not realize what awaited her until sho
found, herself struggling in tho lasciv
iouB clutches of her brutal assailant.
The people in tho vicinity are very in
dignant at the bold crime, and several
of them proclaimed their willingness to
assist at a hanging bee if the brute was
caught.
One of the men killed by the IndiauB
last week up at Pino Ridge, formerly re
sided at Bellwood, this county, and was
a second cousin to Mr. A. B. Roys of this
city. Rodney wont up to that country
some twelve or thirteen years ago, and
went to herding cattle. He was cook for
the men who were killed, and just the
day before cooked dinner for the treach
erous devils who did the killing. Mr.
Rovs received a letter this morning from
Bellwood. saying the body would be sent
down, and asking him to take charge of
the remains upon arrival here. His
friends live at Bellwood, and his parents
are both buried there. Mr. Roys thinks
the body will arrive here over the F. E.
from Fremont on Friday, when it will be
taken to Bellwood for burial. Only a
few days ago Mr. Roys read a letter re
ceived from him, and he spoke of the
Indians, saying some thought there
would be trouble trith them. How little
he thought then of the treachery sur
rounding their little camp, and how soon
he was to fall a victim to the vindictive
rascals whom he was feeding. There is
very little safety for any white man up
in that country. David City News.
The little two year old child of John
Hartman, while playingwith some beans
last Tuesday, got one into its mouth and
while crying, it passed down into the
windpipe. Drs. McGavren and Peck
were called and made every effort to dis
lodge the bean even to making an open
ing in the throat, but to no avail, it hav
ing passed down into tho bronchial tubes.
At the time of this writing the child is
improving rapidly. fStromsburg Head-

Ed. Journal: Since the resignation
of Mr. Farmer, Miss Kato Taylor has
tnken that room in tho Third ward.
We believe she will be a success as an
instructor and disciplinarian, and in
order to make it easier for her, some of
us parents have resolved that so far as
our own children aro concerned, they
shall be thoroughly corrected at school
and moro added to it at home, if nec
essary. They would earnestly recommend this
plan to.all the families, for the good of
children as well as of school. Much
transgression at school and in citizen
ship is often traceable to want of disci
pline at home. n.
