Sequel to the Niobrara Trag edy. The disturbances at Fort Niobrara which culminated in the murder ol Lieutenant Cherry are detailed in full in our telegraphic columns. Wit"t a view of obtaining further particu lars a representative of THE" BE called Sunday * upon General Rober Williams , of the department of the Platte , and conveyed the first news o. the affair to Fort Omaha. Late that evening , however , full particulars were received at the department from Major Upham in command at Fort Niobrara which confirmed the information previously obtained by THE BEE and gave the following additional details : The first knowledge of the trouble at "Hag's Ranche" was brought to the fort by Sergeant Harrington , who was in pursuit of the stolen horses , ane stopping at the ranche was informed of the killing of John Bordaux , the head herder of the Rose Bud agency. A note from the agent quickly fol- lowejl announcing the same news , and Spotted Tail , who happened to be present , volunteered the sen-ices of his Indians to pursue the fugitives. Lieutenant Cherry \ \ * "i eight enlisted men and three Indian trailers immediate'ly started in pur suit six hours behind the robbers. Af ter sending in on the next day for ra- lions , nothing was heard of the chase until 2:30 on the afternoon of the llth inst. , when a runner came in announcing - ing the death of the lieutenant and the serious wounding of one of the privates accompanying the search party. Upon receipt of the news Major Upham telegraphed as follows to Gen. Williams : FORT NIOBRATIA , May 12. To the Adjutant General , Department of th Platte. LieiiL S. A.

Lieutenant Cherry will be remem bered as ono of the heroes of the Thornburgh massacre at Milk river He ] first sighted the Indians on the crest of the ravine and received the first 'fire , and calling- for volunteers covered the retreat to the wag ons , He was specially com plimented by Gen. Merritt in liis dispatches for his gallantry on the field and his bravery in defending the intrenchments against the Indians. , "Lieutenant Cherry , " said Gen.

He was a graduate of the Military Acade my and entered service in the 23rd in fantry in June ICth , 1875. He was transferred on July 28th , 187G , to the 5th cavalry and has been in that regiment ever since. A few montlis ago he stopped over at Fort Omaha 6c on his xvay west to re-join his com mand. He was a splendid specimei physically of a man , tall and wel formed , -with high forehead , dark eyes and heavy brown beard. At the time of his death he was engaged to a young lady cast , the daughter of a Pennsyl ania congressman.

Mayor Boyd and the Fire Com mittee inspect the De partment. Responding to an Alarm in One Minute and Thirty- three Seconds. Mayor Boyd , accompanied by the chief of the Fire department , John J. Galligan , and the fire committee of the ) Common Council , Messrs. Horn- berger , Dunham and McNamara , i lade a tour of inspection yesterday through the whole fire department Taking a carriage the gentlemen visit ed every engine house , and inspected the : proficiency of the workings of each , the condition of the house itself , oi the ! animals employed and the engines , and fire apparatus severally. Every where the mayor expressed unbound ed satisfaction with the inspection. No. 1 , at a given signal , harnessed the horses , and hitched them ready to run , in fifteen seconds , and the others were but a few seconds behind. It must be remembered No. 1 is the best fixed of the lot The party expressed themselves surprised at the contriv ances for speed in getting out the horses. The party then drove to the corner of Thirteenth and Douglas streets , and took a position in front of the Omaha National Bank , at which point Chiei Galligan struck an alarm , byray oi testing < the promptness with which the department responds. ' Nps. 2 and 3 alone were , expected to respond , and both reached the bank in one minute and thirty-three seconds a very remarkable record. So gratified was the mayor at the excellence displayed that he addressed the men in the following merited terms , Chief Galligan having .drawn them up in front of his "honor : GENTLEMEN OF THE FIRE DEPART MENT : As mayor of the city , the duty devolves upon me to say a few words at this time. The city of Omaha has always had the reputation of having tlict most complete and efficient fire organization of any city in the west , and that reputation , from what we have witnessed to-day , is certainly well deserved. You have made the run from the engine house in one minute and thirty-three seconds. There are no braver or better men to be found anywhere than those whose names are inscribed on the rolls oi both the paid and volunteer fire de partments of the city of Omaha , and they deserve the grateful thanks and cheerful support of every citizen. H is an organization of wliich we all feel justly proud. To fight the fiery element requires great coolness and true courage , and Siereisno calling more noble'than the fireman's. To him is entrusted our property , and oftimes our lives. How necesssary is it , then , that he should be a brave man , and be endowed dewed with all the attributes of true greatness. Gentlemen of the fire department , let there never bo any strife amongst you , except the strife we have wit nessed here to-day the strife to excel , and may you ever in the future prove , as in the past , worthy the confidence reposed in you. The well chosen words of the mayor were heartily seconded by quite a number of citizens. Mayor Boyd has replied favorably to an urgent request from the fire department of Council Bluffs , to be present at their grand touniamenl next month. A Model Job Office. At No. 1314 Douglas street , in the handome new block opposite Academj of Music , we'found yesterday one of the neatest and best arranged job printing offices it has been our good fortune to look through. From the neatly distributed cases of plain and ornamental type all through to the new and latest improved job presses in the market , everything pertaining to the business is present and in the best of order. The proprietor of this establishment , Mr. Thomas H. Cotter , is the ruling spirit of this handsome arrangement of printers' materials and facilities for fine job work. Mr. Cot ter is too well known to the craft to need recommendation to them , and all who have known of his artistic ability and mechanical skill by having dealings with the job offices in which lie has worked , fully endorse the opin ion of his former employers , F. C. Festner & Son , and previous to that time , The Herald job office , where he was for four years , that ho is in every respect a thoroughly reliable and competent printer , He executed last year the illustrated catalogue ofDewey & Stone , furniture mauufactu.ers , which was a model of tyopgraphical excel lence and so well satisfied thie firm that they have given him their cata logue for 1882. Mr. Cotter has seve ral competent men in his employ and prepared to execute job work of any s character with neatness , dispatch and at the most reasonable rates. Call at . the office No. 1314 Douglas street , be- .ween 13 and 14th streets , and examine lis specimen work and price lists. Young Men's Christian Association. At the handsome new rooms of the association , corner of Farnam and Tenth streets , an almost unbroken scries of exercises continued f Jom Sat urday : evening till late Sunday after noon , thus exemplifying the. tireless efforts of the association hero in behalf religion. The well known exercises of Satur day evening are always well attended , notwithstanding the many attractions 'or young men in other quarters. The singing exercisesvon the street are none the less heartily and numerously joined in because of the jeers of pass ers by.The young men who do this loble work are satisfied to snatch a very iew from the meandenngcrowds , but they are happily rewarded with numbers , as the workings of the asso ciation show. The labors of Sunday are always jreat for the association. At 9 o'clock the morning there was a bible exer cise at the rooms , conducted by the general secretary. At 1 p. m. they conducted services at the county jail , . John NTdiols , leader. At 2:30 : so. m. there w s a song service at the rooms. At 4 p. m. a young men's meeting In the rooms underthe leadership at < ship of Dr. Leisenring.and at the same lour an "everybody's meeting" at the enth Stret Mission , between Dodge Capitol Avenue. If this be not'an immense labor , it be difficult to say what is. The. werk of the association is not only un * get iring , but is happily greatly success * , and it is to be noped there will be lack of encouragement to these no lle young men from all uartera. . . . . .e , , t . v. iiaueriy , Mrs. ml W. four miles nr.rtb flLI > ? .0 . ; "BUCKING" THE "BOYS.1 How a Chicago Drummer Was Accommodated in Omaha. Omaha "boys" may not have all the proverbial accomplislunents of a swel Chicago drummer , but the experience of a "fly" sample of this specier o indiwidual at playing poker with some of our home product on Saturday night will for ever stand as a warning to them to beware how they blow about their nimbleness at this pleas ant , but at times , expensively luxur ient game , while in Omaha. So much by way of introduction. He was young , sytlish , good looking , well heeled and fresh. He was the boss pokerist between Chicago anc Denver , and there wasn't anything that took the road could lay over him He'd like to know if there was any body in Omaha anyhow , that knew what the game was ; if so , where was he ? Trot him out , and very much more in this line of reasoning did the young man relieve himself of Several heard his blowing , and a few suggested that he might probabl ] be accommodated ifthe case was verj urgent He said that he didn't care to meet the professional gambler he never met that class of playe under any circumstances ; what hi wanted , was the gentleman player. Well , even this , ho was assuret might be supplied at a pinch. Hi was accordingly brought into conjunc tion , so as to speak , with some of our gentlemen pokerists , and the game was opened. The progress of it was variable to : some time , Mr. Fresh twinning , anc anon , losing. Presently , the gentleman players'got through fooling , and befor morning the young man was in posses sion of a few points on poker he had not caught on to , so far in his triumphant career. He paid just about § 1,200 for them however. When he had invested thus far , h sort of placed himself on an inclinec plane , greased for the occasion , aiu slid off. In other words , ho took a tumble. He was in a terrible state oi mind ; the money belonged to his em ployers , and was a portion of his col lections. The gentlemen players hae no doubt about it , and thought it was too bad , indeed. The poor fellow will depart to-day with a much higher opinion of Omaha. He is a well known and prosperous drummer , and travels , for a large Chicago cage house.

The Ladies' Missionary meeting held Sunday afternoon at the Con gregational church was well attended and those present expressed them selves highly gratified with the ex ercises. The meeting was opened by the president of the Congregational so ciety , Mrs. S. H. H. Clark ; praye was offered by Mrs. J. B. Maxfield of the M. E. church society. Mrs Clark then introduced Miss Cathcart of Litchneld , Minnesota , .who is thus far on her journey to the Micronesiar Islands. As a missionary Miss Cath cart made a pleasant impression upon the audience by her few remarks Next was introduced Mrs. L V. Snow , a lady who lias labored for thirty years among the natives of the Micronesian Islands Mrs. Snow is now on her way back to her chosen field , taking Miss Cathcar with her as an assistant in the work. Mrs. Snow entertained the audience with graphic discriptions of the is lands as they were thirty years ago and as they are to-day. When she anc her husband first went there , the na tives had no written language. Her husband , the Rev. Dr. Snow , as soon as possible began the work of reducing the language to a written one. H ( was successful and in comparatively few years they had the greater portion tion of the New Testament and some oi the Old in their own dialect. Mrs. Snow told a good story with regard to the literature of the islands The literature of the islands limited , they have little except the simplest text books , the Bible , a fev books of Bible stories , etc. At a public meeting in Boston , a short-time since , a gentleman speaker complimented Dr. Snow upon his work , and said it was really , pleasam to meet a man who had for years been reduced to strict bible diet , as he'c often thought'fhe Christians of Amer ica were like Zaccheus "Could'nt see the Lord for the press.
