Olio of tlio most fonrful and deadly
encounter * that was over cxpurioncoil
by mortal man , foil to the lot of Jo
Miller , the county jnilorio go through
Wednesday nnd ho owe * his lifo to-day
to dins. K. Du Ciroat , who is in prison
under conviction for arson and D.inl.
H. (3'iruy ( , who in nndor indictment
for robbing a registered letter pouch
nnd ombe/.zlmg the money.
'I'lio nun who w.ia guilty of all thu
deviltry which is to lie lucordod in
this story is Cleorgo Wiciiians , n car
penter nnd general utility mnn , who
lias been in Omnhn for tlirco or four
years , it not longer. He ia a large ,
powei fully built man , of great na
tural strength , llo is a "crank" in
the modern acceptance of the term ,
being neither wholly sane nor
entirely insane. lie appears
to have 1ml hit mental
equilibrium through a combination of
domc.stic dilliculty nnd poor whisky ,
but whether thu whisky led to tliu
fnmily trouble or the latter drove him
to strong drink m not wholly clear.
At any rnto ho hits been mibjuct to
cnr/.y snellAand luij once been in the
naylum ut Lincoln. About four
weeks ago ! iu had ono of his
ttpells and win in the county jail for
quite n while. Hoia finally dis
charged nnd armed with n letter from
Charley Do Ginat , secured a job with
the U. P. On Tuesday niirlit ho vol-
uiitaiily Hiirrciideiud himsul up nnd
was placed again in his cell. Tin's cell
wan ono of a row of four minuted nt
the light of the door by which the jail
is entered on the east. The four open
into a common hall and front noon two
windows looking out to the south.
E.ich cell is provided with two
bunks and DuOronthnd boon occupy
ing the extra bunk in Wiumuii * ' cell ,
the latter being very cleanly nnd or.
derly in his hnbita. Tuesday night
nftor giving himself upYiumans ,
scrubbed out his cell and put it in order -
dor but an ho made some queer breaks
his cull nmto became uneasy and
ut thu .solicitation of
Onroy went to his cell ,
which wna the adjoining ono to the
cast. Prom the narrow hall way n
door opens into the enclosed court , nt
the further end of which thu jailor
sloops.
Last night thu prisoners were nil
locked up us usual , but WiomntiH
Bcomud more cranky than usual. Ho
wanted to bnpti/.o DetJroat , und , get
ting out n bible which was in the cell ,
would throw it on the lloor , jump on
it , curse nnd douse water nbout the
room. llo made .such n racket
that aovonil times Miller told him if
hu didn't dry up hn'd have to come in
to him , ns it wan impossible for anyone
ono on the first lloor , in which the
cells nro located , to tilcop. At ono
o'clock at night the noisu had in-
cronsed , ns the advocate of baptism
kept up his cnr/.y orgies. At this
hour Mr. Miller arose and started in
to reason with the crunlc. llo
ad nothing on but his
under-clothing , and left the door lend-
'ng into Shorill Guy's apartnienlH
ockcd. He unlocked the door load-
ng to tliu narrow hallway and entered ,
caving it unlocked nnd ajar. Ho put
the key in the door of thu first lock ,
and started tomvingthodoor open with
out removing the lock. All thcao lit
tle incautious things ho says ho
did for the llrat time in bis lifo ,
knowing the prisoner no well and not
anticipating any trouble , and no not
only left every avenue open for the
prisoner to get the advantage of him ,
but cut oil"uvcry hope of aid from
Bhoriir Guy , who cannot enter thu
court of thu jail until it in unlocked
from the insido. Ol course there was
no opportunity for u prisoner to gain
Ills freedom , but merely to got full
liberty to go for his keeper.
At thu instant that Miller started to
swing the cell door open , thu prisoner
sprang upon him like u tiger , before
hu know what was thu mutter , und
seized him by thu throat. Seeing
that thu duvil was to pay , Miller look
a grip too und rammed his asiuiln.nl
backward through thu wiudf w , taking
easli and all but thu bars. Wuimans
was desperately in earnest and struck
and bit ut Miller , who with thu heavy
key of the hull door in his hand now
planted a blow sciuaro in Wiomnnti'
face , following it up with another and
another in rupidaucceaaion. Wicmans
held him at thu throat with onu hand
and with thu other seized him
in u vulnerable spot nnd bickud
him into thu uost end of thu cell ,
where ho downed him. Seeing that
thu blnw had no nppatont efl'ecl ,
Miller began to pound thucra/.y IIMII'H
head with thu butt etui of thu heavy
key , laying open thu sculp every time ,
but hu waa no match for thu ( iuvilish
fury of thu other nnd was soon
driven to thu east end of
thu collvheio hu full upon
hia Imiidti and limes , bin antagonist
holding him as Htutod.
Miller was by this time nearly
played out , und his strength was fnst
leaving him. Ho wm buitton nnd bit
ten und mnlttuntt'd terribly , nnd nl
thou'jli thu nuiso penetrated thu entire
building help from thu outaiduia us
hopulcaa to ox poet as from thu
inside. Hu tried to gut to llio door
of onu of the other culls and pass in u
key to thorn , but remembered tlmt
tlio key wuy in thu door at the far end
of the htll. llo bicki-J inch by inch
tun-Jiil il until hioaiao hbrons' , ol the
icll occupied l > y DeGroU nnd G roy ,
whu up to tlm time had been terrified
but pnisivo ( .pooUlois of the scone.
ThU niMVcmimt K.IS Miller's snlVAtion.
The two now actors i.i the drama
li.'i'l xrroneliod from the wall tlio two
iioti hooks with which the hunk' ! are
put tip , wins' ! are about n foot lom
and curved likoa onto at the end ,
Ono of theno D.Gtoat pushed
( lirouph thu ban and caught the
uinnk by the arm with it nnd the fit
wai ao food tlidt ho hnulud the arm
back tn the grating and held it there
tightly. in the inuanlinio Garoy
reached liii arm out through the win
dow nxed for feeding pihoncrs , nnd
ccixtd the rufii.m by the collar of the
vest nnd shiit , pulling hi-i head bick
to the bars , and stretching out the
other hand with one of the iron hooks
mentioned , ho beat the man over the
head , the blood at every stroke Hpurl-
ing out over Miller. Miller thought
now was the tmo : to cscapo if over ,
and to make the vil.ain let . ' ; o his hold
ho seized his left hand in his teeth
and bit tlirco of the fingers severely.
11 looked back with the iron by Do-
Great , beaten over the head with an
other hook by Gurey and bitten by
Miller , it is no wonder that the do.ul-
ly grip uas loosened , but ho had
meantime sei/.od the jailor by tlio
bond which was quilo long
and in ( ho parting Miller left the
whole beard \Yictnan'a hands , nnd
iled through the door , which ho pulled
to , but could not lock behind him.
The cr.izy man struggled looao from
Do Great and Garoy , and made
lungt ) after liiu victim , but the * latter
was gone.
Miller crept .lurnss the stone court
in a weak and helpless condition and
admitted Sheriff Guy , who unlocked
two of the upper cells and called the
mon down to lii.iaidYcimtms having
meantime barricaded the door and
turned oil'tho gas which had burned
briuhlly throughout the whole affair.
Miller was drenched in blood , " \Vie- \
mans' , and almost npccclilc.si and
iShprill'Guy first ran for a doctor and
for additional assistance at.d pending
his return the madman inaido the
hallway smashed the chair , bench ,
window sash and every movcablc
tiling nnd throw the pieces into the
cell through the aperture in the door.
Ho also unloaded the contents of the
spittoon at Dr. Great and Garoy
who wore trembling for
fonr lie would think of thu key and
como in to them , and who stood on
cither side of the door armed with the
iron hooks , They at length had to
pub up the bedding to keep elF the
shower of filth and broken glass that
was litod at them.
About ha'f-pist four , the fight
and subsequent storm of fury
had occupied about three
hands and the mnn was worn out , the
hose was turned on him and ho was
drowned into mibmisaion , captured
and lodged in a cell up stairs. Miller
was found to bo not seriously injured ,
but had sullbrud from numerous bites ,
scratches , etc. , and the loss of his
beard.Veimons was banged and
bruised up terribly , and , IIH Miller ad
mits , ho did well to escape
with his lifo , for if ho had
had his vest on with his
knife in it , ho would have killed him
in self defense.
Wiomans wan to-day apparently
rational and said to the reporter that
Miller and ho quarrelled over a point
in a game of cards and had a square
fight but that there was no hard feel
ing on either side.

church and private blessings. Dean

y.ivo in his opening n graphic descrip
tion ( f the feast of the tabernacle
under the Jewish dispensation , which
occurred with the chosen people about
the Hame lime of thu year as our
Thanksgiving occurs. His theme was
divided into four topics : Univcrrnl
obligation of Thanksgiving , in
connection with which ho referred
to the custom of all nations to give
thanks ; national reasons for thanks
giving , among which ho spoke of the
prosperity of the country , the do-
crcaso of the debt , and the stability
of tlio government. Hero a touching
allusion was made to President Gar-
field's death , and thanks given that he
died u Christian and strong in the
faith. Also state reasons for thanks
giving , ref erring to the in
coming population , and foun
dation of colleges , schools and
churches. Personal reasons , which
included homo comforts , friendly as
sociations and extended privileges.
The music was appropriate und excel
lent.
tlXITKl ) rilESIIYTERlAX.
The announcement that Itov. G. F.
Stelling , pastor of the English
Lutheran church , wns to preach
drew a largo congregation. Kov.
Mr Shorrill , of the Congregational
church , anil Kev. M- . Graham ,
pastor of the United Presbyterian ,
assisted. Mr. Sherrill's prayer was
especially touching and appropriate.
The preacher' subject was "Our
Country , " and hia text Jonah 1 : 18 ,
"What is tlio country ? " The speaker
said that , while wo are yet in the
shadow of a great bereavement , there
is .111 ; impropriety in a national
thanksgiving. Hu spoke of the
country in a compiohonsivo way ,
showing that wo have a great country
physically ; a good country considering
its neil and climate ; a tree country ,
in that it is particularly distinguished
on account of its freedom ; a promising
country , for while some good people
may foul at times hopeless
becaueo of thu political corruption ,
intumporanco and national and per
sonal evil which still exists , yet all
hope still for a better future. The
speaker concluded by repeating the
very popular song commencing :
"Uf all the mishty natlonH
In the catt < > r In thouvnt ,
Thu gloiimiH Yiinkcu nation
Is tlio groatt fit and the bcht. "
HOtriH OMAHA .M. K.
There was but n small congregation
in attendance upon the very interest
ing exercises hold in the South Oma
ha M. E. church , but those who failed
to bo there missed a most excellent
Thanksgiving service. There were
present the llovs. Marquotteof this
congregation , Muxfield , of the First
M. E. church , nnd J.V. . Ingram , of
the Christian church. The former
read the lesson of the morning , while
Mr. Max fluid offered the opening
prayer , and the singing was very ap
propriate nnd good.
Thu sermon was preached by llov.
,1. NY , Ingrain who took as his text
the 147th 1'nalin , in whichtho Prophet
exhorU the prniso of God for his care
of the church , his power , his mercy ,
his providence , his blessings upon the
kingdom , oto. From this text Mr.
Ingrain preached an eloquent discourse
in which ho showed conclusively that
the Lord had provided for the welfare
of the Christian people of the world ,
that his cause wns steadily advancing ,
and that thu attacks of the infidel
and unbeliever of every class were
falling nowcrloss. Ho is equally able
to provide for our temporal welfare ns
witness the plenty that abounds in
our city , our state and the nation.
Not only is there an abundance of land
for nil , but the neil is fertile ,
the harvest bountiful and peace and
plenty reigning over nil. In con-
elusion the speaker read the 148th
Psiilm and appealed to all to unite in
praise to the giver of nil these good
gifts.

Mr. Mnniuotto presented the cause
of the poor nnd a very liberal col'

AKot'NU TOWN.
Everything was quiet nbout the city
during tliu day. Husiness waa gen-
cr.illy suspended during the afternoon
while tl.o ten thousand nnd ono tur
keys were being discujsod , and most
of the mechanics and shopmen took a
holiday , None of the nowppapcrf ,
however , last owning or this moining
are nmsing upon tlio subscribers'
dooisteps , which means that the
"s'avea of toil" in the various estnb-
lifhinintM took their dinner "on thu
lly" ns usual , and changed nothing of
the usual progn.mme. Of course the
suhou'n were nil closed , which mule
ninny a home circle cheerier , and de
cidedly 'lois'or. '
Thai privilege so dear to the heart
of every free born and natur.diited
American , to "take a drink of n hoh
day , " wns pretty generally indulged
in , but not to such as extent as to
breed any serioni disorder on the
ctrcetf , nnd the arrests were compara
tively few. 3n nvvny places tempting
luncheons were spread , which the
fragrant Thomas it Jeremiah seasoned
to a nicely. An especially handsome
and elaborate table feasted the eye *
and palate both at McNamara's. Cold
turkey , chicken nnd lobster salads ,
oVHtcrsoup , and numerous tritmninga ,
were arranged in n most ornamentiil
fashion , and proved decidedly taste
ful. Jim Etving also spread a very
neat lunch , which was duly appre
ciated.
Last evening several private parties
were given , nnd a ball by the dancing
society occupied Central hall. Hart ? '
lerformaiicu also drew a hugo attun-
hincc , as elsewhere mentioned. The
'Jatholic Union library association nl.so
gnvu > n well attended und very pleasant
fiociul entertainment at their hall in
Ci'oighton block. Taken altogether ,
Thanksgiving was both appropriately
and decorously observed by Omaha ,
and everybody its doubtless the happier
for the day.

A "World of Good.
One of the most popular medicines
now before the American public , is
Hop Bitters. You sen it everywhere.
People take it with good effect. It
builds thorn up. It is not as pleasant
to the taste as some other Bitters as
it is not a whisky drink. It is more
like the old fashioned bone-set tea
that has done a world ofgood. . If
you don't feel just right try Hop Bit
ters. Nunda News.

BURGLARS CAUGHT.
The Robbfcrd Who Entered
Patrick Ford's Residouco
Corralotl.
Tlicy nro Identified by a Woman
toVho = i Thny Confessed
the Deed.
About a month ngo a ni3ntcrioua
burglary occunod it the residence and
boarding house of StreetCommissioner
Pat. Ford , on Tenth street , in whicl
about @ 70 was stolen from a sick
man named I'jttick Malny nnd
watch bcl urging to Policeman
Frank O.vspcr. Casper awakened to
find ono of the burglars in his room
nnd grappled uith him. The fellow
struggled out into the hall , when a pal
at the head of the stain shot twice at
Casper , which made him loose his
hold , and both of the robbers
escaped , No track of them could
bo found at thu time , but both Mr.
Ford and Officer Casper hive been
working the case up tince , nnd Wed
nesday caught their gutiic.
On the morning of the burglary
Mr. Ford went into the Gold
Dust saloon , on the corner
of Twelfth nnd Dodge streets ,
and found Stringer ISrantnnt ,
whom ho stispicioned , playing poker
in a back room. Upon being ques
tioned ho said that ho had jint como
from I'Jattitnoutli. It wns afterwards
found that Brantnat had not como
from tlio place named that morning ,
us a letter was Hent to his brother hero
that ho wat in the city.
Wednesday , as Ollicer Casper was pa-
troling Tenth street , he was accosted
by n negro boy , who said , ' 'why ,
whero'd you como from 1" I thought
you was shot. " Casper questioned
him , and the boy said that ho had
been in a saloon on North Tenth
street on the morning of the
burglary when two men came
in und had .something to drink , and
then ono said to a colored woman
there , "I've shot that s of a bof
a policeman , Frank. " The woman
asked what Frank , and the man an
swered , "That Bohemian policeman
who travels around hero without any
beard on his face. "
Following this clue Kusper found
the ncsro woman , who stated that
what the toy said was true , and gave
the names uf Brantnot and ono Cu&ic ,
who formerly worked on the spile-
driver in the U. P. yard , and who
came from Plattsmouth. The
latter had been known by Foid as being -
ing an especial "pard" of Brantnot ,
who formerly boarded in the house
and had taken him up there fre
quently. It was also found that
Brantnot had gene to Plattsmouth
nnd Casper accordingly went there
and arrested him Wednesday. At the
eame time Ford caused the arreat ot
Cusic at the Green Tree House by
Oilicer McCunc , and both men were
jailed.
Yesterday morning the colored wo
rn an who lives next door to
O'Connor's saloon on North Tenth
street , identified both prisoners tvt the
jail , and stated that at tjio tinio they
came in the houseBrantnat took three
twenty dollar gold pieces from
his boot leg , and remarked as ho did
so , "Cully , I've got the boodle , any
way. "
Both Policeman Casper and Street
Commissioner Ford deserve much
credit for the manner in which they
have worked up the case and caused
thu criminals' arrest.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
In these times of quack medicine
advertisements everywhere , it is truly
gratifying to find ono remedy that is
worthy ot' praise , and which really
docs as recommended. Electric Bit
ters , we can vouch for as being a true
and reliable remedy , and one that I
will do as recommended. Theyinvari-
bly cures stomach and liver complaints
diseases of the Kidneys and Urinary
difficulties. Wo know whereof wo
speak , nnd can readily say , give them
a trial. Sold at fifty cents a bottle by
