The Lincoln Journal thinks that

Sheriff Guy wan called upon by Mr.
Young a few hours previous to the
race and questioned as to the rumored
report that ho ( the sheriff ) intended
to interfere should the proposed race
be attempted. The sheriff replied
that inasmuch as the feat contemplated -
" plated was no unusual one , and with
the supposition that tha animal during
the ten mile run would ba occasional
ly watered andspongedand well cared
for , he could find no legal grounds for
interference. -

BOEEAS ON A RENDER.
The Gale of Saturday Night
Leaves Wreck and Eiiin
in Its Wake ,
The New Catholic Convent in
this City Completely
Demolished ,
Dwelling Houses , Chimneys ,
Fences , Etc , , are Pros
trated by Its Fury.
At on early hour on Saturday even-
tjg a strong wind from the northwest
struck this city. The storm was ac
companied by a drenching rain , which
'e'l until a late hour in the night.
? eiplo who witne'sad the s'orm from
their windows failed to realize its
ury and velocity , and will no doubt
jo snrrrlscd to learn of the damage
done in various parts of Ihe city.
During the hemeat rart of the
storm the wind gauge at the signal
oflice registered ever sixty miles per
iour. The most lamentable freak of
the wind wsa the demolishing of the
liKW CATHOLIC CONVENT ,
ciiown as the convent cf Poor Cbrts ,
situated on the highest portion of
Shiun's addition , in the northwest
mburbs of the city. A strange fatal
ity seems to Inng over the attempt to
erect a convent iu that neighboihood.
It will bo remembered by our citizens
that during the stoim that visited this
section : wo weeks ago a lane ; portion
of the structure WHS laid low and con-
fusiun made of the wood work at that
tima completed. But this time the
destruction of the building is com
plete. Tho'north wall had been re
built , and pll the damage by the fir
mer storm rejnired. Saturday evcu-
ing , about half past ei ht , a tarriblo
crash made known to the residents in
t io vicinity the total dcinol tion rf the
edifice. All that remains of the four
walls above the baeeniout story is a
pier about ten feet high about mid
way on the north wall and a similar
one at the southea-t comer. Mo tof
the wood work joists , rafters , win
dow frames , etc. was blown into the
batcmen' ' , over the cast wall , arid
brokuiaud shivorcd into a thousind
fragmcuto. IJoirdswt-re blown fully
two b'ocks away. Stone windiw caps
and biacs were hurled fully ten feit
frcm the buildicg and buried in the
earth. The crash made was BO loud
as to Lo heard by parlies r. siding on
the corner of Twentieth and Ginning
slreuls , half a inilo distant.
The building wag 44 by OS foot in
dimension * , and the walls 18 hiihes a !
the bcso ami 10 in the second aid
third htorics. The rafters for the gi-
blo roof had been put iu place , but no
sheeting had been laid.
In reply to aa inquiry of a BtK reporter -
porter , a member of the lirin of I'totr
Bros. , the brick contractors , who wis
found among the crowd of spoliator ? ,
who were viewing the wreck j citcr-
day , siicl : "It is impassible to esti
mate the loss. We had just coin
pleted the brick work , and nothing
but the plastering remiined to be
done before turning the bui'diug over
to the owners. "
"What was the contract price of
your work ! " our reporter asked.
"Forty-four hundred dollars. It
will cost much moro to rebuild , be
cause of having to remove the debris
before work can bo begun. "
"Will tholttnor Bros , be compelled
to sustain Iho Icssl" *
"I am unable to say at this time.
Wo repaired the first damage to the
north wall at our own expense. It
cost us about $500. "
Mr. Rosenbcrry has the carpjutKr's
contract , and his loss by the first
bicik is estimated at over $100. The
reporter did not 590 him and could
not get his opinion as to whether he
would have to sustain the second loas.
It is understood that if the convent
is rebuilt , it ? dimensions will be some
what altered , and that the facade will
bo longer , and consequently oiler a
more effective resistance to future
wind storms.
TWO UWELTJKO HOUSES ,
near the corner of Tenth street and
C.ipitol Avenue , ere toppled over
early in the evening. Ono of the
buildings bad been completed but a
short time. Other old structures in
the neighborhood which look as if
they would cave in some day of gen
eral debility , weathered the blase and
will si ill s'and till the last , no doubt.
AXOrilER DWELINO
house near the corner of Thirteenth
and Pacific streets , was blown from its
foundation.
A WIND MILL
belonging to IttncrBros. , which stood
upon their brick yard in the north
part of town , got moro of a breeze
than it could wrestle with and came
down with a crash.
OTHER DAMAGE.
A broken window ia the grocery es
tablishment of J. H. Spolman , corner
of Twelfth and Douglas streets , was
blown in , and quite an amount of
goods damaged.
Several of the circus bill boards in
the varioin parts oi the city , wens
laid flat and the giant , the kangaroo
and the "man with Iho iron jaw"ivcre
mingled into one.
A large tree which has flouriihed
for many a year in front of a dwelling
houeo pear the corner of Izard and
Seventeenth streets , was blown down ;
it fell in such a manner as to effectual
ly barricade the front doDr cf the
building.
The street lamp which ehed its re
fulgent rays about the corner of Capitol
tel Avenue and Seventeenth streuta
was blown off its post. It was proba
bly making light of the elements.
The front part of a frame building
on the north side of Douglas street
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
was blown down with a loud crash.
The breez3 seems to have a weak
ness for signs and awnings , and quite
a number of both were "kissed by the
gentle zephyrs. "
THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM

number of the wires were broken.
It will bo promptly put into working
order.
FIHE CIRCUIT.
Toe fire circuit was rendered unfit
for uze. The breaking cf the wires
was the cause of the Hounding of the
fire bll in Ihe tower of engine house
No. 3 , and which many suppcssd to
bo alarms. The North and South
Omaha circuit was cut off early iu the
evening.
Chief Galligan , with a force of men ,
attempted to find and repair the dam

"White S-waa , " the Young
Chief of the Omahas ,
Visits the City ,
And Will Hold a "Pow-wow"
With Some Legal
Gentlemen.
Mehaskar , which , ttanslit-jd into
English , meins White S\v < n , is the
name pf tl-e young chief of the Omaha
tribe of Indians who is at present in
the ciy ! on business of a legal r.ature.
Ourroiorttr found the chit f at the
Planters Hoiw , Mid , through the
kiudneaa of Iho genial proprietor , was
afforded an opportunity to in'c'rogate '
him through his interpreter , Ir.uis
Hamilton , one of the tribe.

age , Mid Ins been at the head of his
people but a short time , having suc
ceeded his father , Big Boar , about a
year agoTiio young chief seems to
bear the dignity of his oflice with 1)3
coming nudesty , and the interpreter
told us , was much bdotcd by all the
tribe.
tribe.He
He is somewhat hbo\o the ordinal y
height end well proportioned. From
a phrenological standpoint the con
formation of his head indicates gotd
perceptive and iclloctivc powers , and
a much smaller development of the
lower organs than one would
expect to find in an untutored
Iiidini ) . A ma's of coarae ,
dark straight hair falls carelessly
from oich side of the held , reaching
to tlu t-houldeis. Ho wore n jair ; of
rod fljuiiivl pant < t , a blue flximel vest
covered in rather an irregular manrcr
with figures in bead work. This , we
were informed , was the fimst article
in the chivf'd wardrobe and was high
ly prized , as it was a pr.'sant to hiai
from the Sioux Tndiads whom ho via-
i'ed Inst yeir. His sT-irt was of red
figured cilico , over the sleeves of
which and above the elbows was a
pair of heavy German silver bracelet * ,
a smaller pair of which he wore oa his
wri ti. His lioid-gear was compjFed
of a cip of otter fur and flannel , sur
mounted by several largo feathers.
From the bickof his hosd-pieco along
string cf round pieces of German sil
ver hung below his waist. The met < l
in this ornament , cur reporter was in
formed , was captured ninny yeas sgo
from the early settlers by the Sioux
and afterwards captured from them by
the Otnnhas , who worked it into its
present shape.
The objest of White Swan's visit to
this city is to procure legal ndvico iu
regard to the action to be taken with
the dircctors'of the Sinus City & St.
Paul E. R. , who have extended a sur
vey of thoirproposcd road through the
Omahas' reservation. Some time ago
an agent of the road cillcd upon the
Omahas and risked them what they
would ask per acre for the land on
their reservation , on which the road
would bo built. Alter holding a
council among themselves the Indians
concluded that twelve dollars per acre
would bo a sufficient recompense , and
so [ informed the oflical ; who forthwith
turned his back to the setting sun
and with a promise to lot the Omahas
know of his chief's decision before two
months' ' had passedtook his depnturo.
Since that titno the tribe have talked
the matter over among themselves ; it
was a problem they wore unueed to
solving , and it was decided that the
advice of lawyers might bo of service
and White S < van is to day in Omaha
for the purpose of procuring the same
if possible.
White Swan is a man of no mcin
travels. Some three years ago he ac
companied his father on a visit to
Washington. Ho is still unmarried ,
and no doubt has brokcu the hearts of
many au ambitious Indian maiden.
Prominent among the facts gleaned
during the interview were the follow
ing :
That ] some time this summer the
Omahas and the Winnebigoes would
hold a council with the Sioux. That
Rod Cloud has told White Swan that
he was tired of warfare , and fhe tribe
would seltle down to a quiet 1 fe.
That the Ponca troubles were not at
tributable to any aciion of the gov
ernment , but were brought abjut by
the misrepresentations of some of the
agents and a prominent le al firm of
Boston , who had induced the Poncas
to leave their reservation , and they ,
the Indians , had been given to under
stand that it was ro ordered by the
Indian bureau.

The Parties Accused Prove an
Alibi and are Dismissed.
For some time pact a number of
neighborhood rows have occurred in
the southern suburbs of this city.
Numerous complaints and counter
complaints have been made against
certain parties of that vicinity.
Saturday morning an old manPetvr
Mattin by name , bearing evidences of
having received at the hands of some
dastardly villain , a terrible beating ,
appeared before the police court to
sustain his charges against one War
ren Reed and a Get nun lad , whoso
name is also Poier Martin. The
complainant w&s accomj anied by his
wife , a cripple.
Warren Reed , defendant , was pres
ent , accrmyauied by his wife and an
other lady. Peter Martin , defendant ,
accompanied by his father and moth
er , was also on hand.
It seems that Friday some high
words were exchanged between the
complainant and Mr. Reed in regard
to a cow that Martin had impoundi d ,
and that during the night complainant
hearing a noise as if a fence be'ng
torn down , hastened off to his ccral ,
lantern in hand. He had not pro
ceeded far when ho was struck in sev
eral places by clods of dirt and his
1 intern smashed and oxtinguUhcd.
j B > ing on his oath he swore that before -
! fore the light was extinguished he recognized
j
ognized hia assailants in the persons
|
sons of Wa-ron Reed anl the lad
Pcttr Martin. Ccniplaiiunt further
swore that after having fired the vol
ley of clods the iwo rushed upon him
BUI ] buat and kicked him about the
\
face find body until he was helpless.
The complainant's wife being sworn
testified that she rec-'gnized the voice
of Warren Reed as the one she had
heard abusing her husband In violent
language aficr ho had left the house
with his lantern.
The defendants' attempts to prove
an alibi by the testimony of
several witnesses were successful and
sustained by the ruling of the court.
The case was dismissed without costs.
Mr. Martin bears the evidence of hav
ing been terribly maltreated , aud it
will be some time befi ro he recovers
from the effects. Whoever the party
or parties may be they deserve the
full extent of tha penalty.
Firemen Scared.
During Siturday nighl'sstorm the
firemen at No. 1 Engine house entfr-
taincd very grave apprehensicns for
the safety cf the old shell. About 8
o'clock it swayed to and fro at such a
rate that the front doors were turown
open and creaked end groaned as
though they were about to fly their
n oj. The men , who tleop iu the
second story , were afraid to go to bed ,
and some 'of them got into the hay
mow of the barn in the roar of the en
gine house , in the attempt to steal a
few hours of sleep. The plastering
was cracked in every room anl the
cornice on the west side was blown off.
It is high time tha city authoritits do
Romething to strengthen this building ,
as it has been unsafe for a long time.
A few dollars at/plied where it is so
badly needed will tave the city the
total loss of the honsa and apparatus ,
and perhaps the lives of the men and
horses.
"Lino" Llnted.
Tr W. Blackburn , well known to the
public funder the pseudonym of
"Lino , " and who has been until re
cently city editor of The Republican ,
latterly head of the advertising bu
reau of the Kansas Pacific railroad ,
and now connected with the literary
bureau of the Union Pacific railroad ,
was married on Friday at Peru to
Miss Sue Pritehard , of that pUce.
The ceremony was performed by ReV.
W. S. Blackburn , father of the groom ,
at 11:30 : Friday morning.
Mr. Frank M. Hall , of Lincoln , was
the groom's "best man , " and Miss
Annie L. Reid , of Hamburg , Iowa ,
brideimaid , both of whom were school
mates of the bride and groom.
The party took the evening train for
Omaha , arriving here Friday evening.
They will reside at 1805 Farnham
Street.
Mr. Blackburn has had a long and
honorable connection with Nebraska
journalism and holJs his present po
sition in virtue of sterling ability and
untiring industry. His many
