that ho had been robbed of over 8300. Ai
he had been on quite a spree , there was
tangible for the police to commence
working on.

McCarthy claimed the xaloon did not be
long to him but to Mr. Nicholson of min
strel fame. The latter appeared and tea-
tilled that ho bought the salwon in June ,
and hod the necessary license. This left
it apparent that during the month oi May

BULLETS AND BEER.
Rnfflanly Row in a Broad
way Saloon.
One Follow Shot. Through the Log
and Several Rocolvo Cuts and
Bruises.
A wild row occurred at Neil Ander
son's saloon and boarding homo on
Broadway between Seventh and
Eighth streets , Wednesday night. A
party of Danes , numbering eight or
ton , most of whom wore boarders at
the house , wore sitting drinking beer
and having a jolly good time , when
another party of six or eight follows
entered , apparently bent on mischief.
After taking a round of boor , they
commenced chaffing the others and
stirring up a broil. One seeing war
threatened in the air , started to go
out of the door , but was promptly
knocked down , which was the signal
for a free-for-all fight. Boor glasses
flow , knuckles wore used , and a badl
mixed and rather bloody scrimmage
ensued. The raiding party fired sev
eral shots , nnd after being forced out
of the saloon fired several shots
through the windows. Ono of Ander
son's boarders , named John Norman
was shot in the log , the bullet making
a flesh wound only. Others in the
saloon escaped being shot by using the
stove , ioo-box and counter as barri
cades. At the close of the war the
pluco had a hard appearance. Chairs
tables , glasses and windows presented
a deplorable and smashed appearance
There wore more or loss wounds inflicted
flictod by brass knuckles and flying
beer glasses , and most of the contest
ing parties had black eyes , scratched
faces , blooding noses , ' and generally
bloody and damaged appearance.
Several of thosu belonging at the
saloon were arrested. Lars Ilousen ,
Peter Potcrson and V. All rafl' spent
the rest of the night at the station ,
and were released in the morning
with Mr. Anderson as surety for their
appearance this morning , by wliicl
time it is expected that others concerned
corned in the row will bo capturcc
and presented to the court ,
There were yesterday arrested as
participants in the affair , Oharles
Graves , George GorspachorEd. Bates ,
Louie Basher and Ed. Phillips , eac
of which was hold in $25 bonds for
their appearance to-day. They are
supposed to bo of a party which wont
to tno saloon to clean the Danes out ,
and they stand charged witli having
done the shooting. They all pleaded
not guilty and assorted their lamb
like innocence , saving that it was thi
Danes who opened the fight , and tha
the Danes did all the shooting.
Thomas Jofferis , Jr. , while walking
along ) ho street just before this row-
was assaulted suddenly by one of th <
party of follows , who dealt him i
heavy blow on the side of the head ,
but the stiff brim of hia hat weakened
its force soinowhat. Ho waited fo
no explanation , but gathered up h
hat and sought u moro congenial part
of the city. Ho is certain that hitas )
sailants were the crowd who wont to
clean out the Danish saloon.
Some complaint has been mndb because >
cause the policeman arrested only the
Danes and locked them up , leaving
the crowd who did the firing have a
run until the next day. It is claimed
that the ollicors could have readily se
cured all concerned in the ailair , and
if it was fair to look ono up , it was
fair to lock all up.
TIMBER GROWING.
Thoughts Glvon by Ono Who Hue
Boon Figuring Over the Mnttor.
Mr. Duncan stopped into TUB BEK
of ) ! co the other morning and placed
upon the editorial de k some samples
of black walnut grown in this county ,
and which ho doomed good texts for
preaching some practical sermons on
timber growing. The specimens
showed that the growth of fifteen
years produced n , tree about eight
inches in diameter , and the donor
suggested that if a grove of growing
wslnut was loft as an inheritance to a
young man it would in the course of
twenty y ars prove n mine of wealth
exceeding the ordinary run qf gold
and silver mines. Not only would
individual wealth accrue from such a
source , as anyone can readily figure
out , but if tree planting was entered
into generally it would hnvo a climatic
influence which would permit of the
culture of fruits nnd berries , for which
the present climate and winds prove
too severe
When Mr. Duncan first camp into
this country ho thought of starting a
cottonwood grove , but did not
do so and now looks upon
it as ono of the lost
opportunities , lost to him at ago is
creeping on ; but still open to younger
men if they will improve it. By a
little figuring the profits seem im
mense. By planting cottonwood
trees eight feet apart on forty acres ,
ono would have 1L',800 trees. At the
end of the fifteen years every other
trco could bu cut out. It is estimated
that ho 0,400 trees thns cut would
produce 19,200 cords of wood , and at
the not protit of $2 a cord would make
a nice little sum , besides leaving G-
400 moro trees , which if left until the
end of another period would yield
four cords to a tree , giving a profit of
about $50,000.
Such are oomo of the figures which
are presented with the little bit of
wood to show what can bo done by
tree culture if people will only work
and wait. The importance of trco
culture is pressing itself moro and
moro upon the minds of those who
look far into the future , ' but it rests
lightly on the avoragn American as
the spirit of the times is not only to
raako as much profit as possible but to
make it as soon as possible.
A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Arrangements Made for Developing
the Macedonia Stone Quarry.
Articles of incorporation have been
Irawn up and sent to Dos Moines for
iling , by which the Macedonia Stone
Mining company is organized with a
capital stock of $33,000. The corpo
raters are Alex G. Miles , Henry H.
Barry , George Loucks and Francis M.
Milos. The stock is alrnady taken ,
and it is the intention of the com
pany to develop the quarry so as to
supply a largo quantity of excellent
building stone for the use
) f this city and surrounding
jountry. The quarry is ono well
known throughout this part of the
state , being located between Mace
donia and Carson in Macedonia town
ship in this county. For a long time
moro or loss of the surface rock has
been used , and oven that has done
good service as building stone , some
of it having been used in the present
calaboose and some in the Broadway
Methodist church , where it has stood
the test of fifteen years or moro. The
lower stratas are said to bo far beyond
this surface stone in quality and dur-
ablity , and it is proposed to Uovolop
this. A yard for finishing is to
bo established in this city ,
and it ia expected that the
long felt want of building atone will
bo amply mot. There is no question
but that an abundant supply of good
building stone would prove a great
benefit to this city and its surround
ings , and such stone would bo ir.
great demand. The only question is
whether the developing of this
quarry will incut such a demand.
That the incorporate ! * think it will is
evidenced by the fact that they pur
pose putting money and the necessary
machinery at work at once.
There are now two openings in the
quarry for CO to 120 foet. A shaft
has lately boon sunk about 10 by 12
feet and to a depth of thirty foot ,
and other developments made , inelud
ing a bore made for coal which pene
trated the ledge nearly 200 toot , the
rock assuming the character of the
best Joliet atone so much used in
Chicago buildings. There nro blocks
now exposed to view , which are from
twelve to twenty foot without a
break , nnd in quality it is pronounced
superior to Dos Moinps or Missouri
stone.
It is claimed that the supply nnd
quality will both provo so satisfactory
as to render the quarry n wonderful
addition to the industries of this city
and county.
IOWA ITEMS.
The bonded indebtedness of Iowa
City , drawing 10 per cent , has been

The citizoiis'.party of Oroston has
nominated H. W. Way for mayor and
placed him upon a platform of very
sound timber of local growth. The'
propose to reform the municipal gov
eminent in the right Way. The Ad
vertiser refuses to bo comforted.
The capital board of commissioners
report that it will cost $050,000 to
complete the building * The question
is being agitated by the legislature
whether it will not bo well to lov a
special tax for the purpose of com
pleting the building this season or
next. It in shown by the commission
ers that it will not cost any more to
complete it in ono or two years than
will in five years.
There is ono strictly virtuous news
paper in Iowa. The Davenport Gazette -
zotto , referring to the recent prize
fight , says : With the belief that
such n brutal show cannot bo other
wise than demoralizing , the Gazette
condensed the half-column account
sent by the Associated Press into the
space of n few lines. If there are
any among our readers who are de
based enough to wish to r nd a mi-
nutu account of such n _ contest , wo
suppose that their desires can bo
gratified , but not through the columns
of this paper as long as it remains n ,
a journal for the family n.id the
homo. This particularly refreshing
coining from a newspaper whoso
columns are flooded with obsccno ad
vertisements of quack doctors , patent
medicines , and "marriage guides. "
A SINGULAR CASE.
The Body of the Young Man Found to
bo Perfect After iwo Years' Bu
rial.
Lcncx Time Table ,
Most of our readers wore acquaint
ed with Frank M. Johnson , and will
remember the disease of which ho
died , that of consumption , at Corn
ing , two years ago the 15th day of
March next. Ho was buried in the
omotery at Brooks which is a high ,
ry piece of ground in the edge of the
imbor , the soil being a little sandy.
On Thursday of last week the friends
nd neighbors or his people wont to
hooks and disintorcd the body with
view of moving it to the
Grove Center cemetery. Arriving
t the cemetery they decided
o open the coflin , and on removing
ho lid of the outer box the coffin was
ound just aa perfect in finish as
rhen placed there two years ago.
? ho lid was then removed from th
oftin , and with the exception of a
ight mould over the clothing , it was ,
us was also the corpse , as natural as
vhon first interred , being in a perfect
teto of preservation. His mother
was there , and laid her hand on his
ace. When ho was placed in the
ofh'n a bible was placed in his right
land , and ho was still clasping
t as when first it was
aid there , The body was not
letrified , but to all appearances
omains unchanged. From a convor-
ation with some of the friends and
ho undertaker who had the * corpse in
charge at interment , we learn there
vas no embalming used except to wet
iia face with spirits nf f.unphor. The
coffin which , aa above atated , was in
> erfect preservation , was made of
loplar wood , rnado in the usual man
ner with O. G. top and encased in a
common pine box. Although the case
a remarkable , not because of .the
apse of time , but that there wore no
signs of approaching decay.
Sharp Practice by a Duchess. * . '
rarls Correspondence London Standard.
The Paris court of appeal has given
t judgment in a case concerning an
English merchant which should bo a
warning against transacting business
with married ladies , oven though they
nay be of high rank. The case is
briefly this : On the 23d of October ,
1880 , the duches of Bauffremont exe
cuted a document , duly drawn up by
a solicitor , acknowledging her liability
to E. Emmanual , described as a mer
chant of London , in the sum of 118- ,
714 francs 25 centimes , and agree
ing to pay the same in five in
stalments , with interest at the rate of
j per cent per annum. On default
Ijeini ; made when tha first instalment
became duo , proceedings wore taken
ending in an execution upon a portion
of the duchess' furniture. A claim
was then preferred to submit the matter -
tor to a judge in chambers , on the
ground that the property seized was
included in the marriage settlement
of the duchess and was therefore in
alienable. The judge referred to de
cided in favor of the duchess , but
granted a case for the court of appeal ,
whic' yesterday confirmed his de
cision , leaving M. Emmanuel to pay
the costs.
