in a Prominent Prisoner
from the East ,
And Deputy Marshal Allan Anotho
from tlio West.
U. S. Marshal Biorbowor , wh
has boon absent in the east fo
several weeks , returned Sundft
morning , bringing with him as n prie
oner , Power Coulter , Into norgean
major of company C , Fifth caralrj
United States army. Coulter wn
placed in the county jail for aaf
keeping until the next term of th
United States court in this city , whei
ho will bo tried. Coulter was ai
rested at Ilarrisburg , Pa. , upon
capias charging him with "uttcrin
and publishing soldiers' final state
mcnts with intent to defraud. " Thca
final statements , ns they are called
arc given to each soldier as ho re
coivcs his discharge , and tire simpl
a declaration of the amount duo hir
upon back allowances. That is , i
during his services ho uses less cloth
ing or tobacco , or draws loss pay tha
ho is entitled to ; the amount thu
saved is entered upon the final statement
mont as it is given to the soldier , wh
then presents it to the paymastoi
Coulter , who had charge of the mnlt
ing out of these statements , was i :
the habit/ ; s said , of raising th
amount duo the men and using th
extra money for his own purposed
To a reporter Coulter said that ho fol
confident of acquittal , as hit ) prose
cution would not bo pushed ti
any extent. The officers , ho said
who will prosecute him undoubted ! ;
are aware of his knowledge of sever
al questionable transactions in whicl
they were concerned , and will , there
fore , bo not at all anxious to pros
him too closely. Ho mentioned ii
this regard the case of ono oilicor whi
reported upon the desertion of a private
vato who took with him his carbim
and a revolver. In the report it appeared
poarod that half a dozen carbines am
and nine revolvers had gene with thi
unfortunate follow. Tlio oilicor by
pothocatod the five carbines and oigh
revolvers in order to make matter :
agree. Ooultor was under Gon. Mor
ntt during the riots in Chicago and it
the campaign against the Utos. Hi
takes his arrest with philosophy , anc
thinks that it is duo to a chancp visi
of Marsha ? Bicrbowor to Ilarrisburg
as arresting him will result in the payment
mont by the government of the expenses
ponsos of his trip. Ho is the son o
respectable parents , with whom hi
was living at the time of his arrest.
The reporter called at the oflico o :
Marshal Biorbowor to-day and learnoc
that Coulter was indicted by the gram
jury at the November term of thi
United States court on the chargi
stated above , , rtho statement having
boon passed into the Exchange banl
of Sidney. Ho was a member of Cap
tain Emll Adams company , ono of thi
two which came to Omaha durincthi
late labor troubles. Ho enlisted ii
September , 1870 , and was dischargee
at the expiration of his term of on
listmont. The indictment shows thai
ho woo several times promoted anc
that ho was paid off at the data of hu
discharge. Ever since the indiotmoni
was found the officers have boon or
his trail and at ono time Doputj
United States Marshal Allen woi
about to go to Indian Territory attoi
him , but it was learned that ho hue
wind of it and loft.
Marshal Biorbowor know ho wai
formerly of Ilarriaburg and on hit
way homo visited that city where hi
found his man acting in the capacity
of a street car conductor and ho tool
him in.
INDECENT LITBIUTUIIE.
Deputy Marshal Alien on Saturdaj
brought to this city a man named
Wilbur F. Rudy , of Knox county ,
who is charged with depositing ih the
United States mail a postal card on
which was written indecent and lowc
language. It seems that Rudy's mail
had boon going to Niobrara and he
ctcsirod to have it forwarded to a new
postoffico. Ho wrote several letter !
to the postmaster , and receiving IK
reply at length mailed a postal card ot
which ho wrote simply : "Send on raj

THE WORLD ON WHEELS
Rumored Change of a Unioi
Pacific Official.
The Alleged Bale of the Omahi
and St. Paul Road.
Scrap Iron Picked Up Along the L > lm
Tlicro have boon from time to time
of late , rumors that the Union Pncifi
was about to bo deprived of the sei
vices of Mr. J. T , Clark , the preson
superintendent , whoso ability as
thorough , practical railroad man i
rocognired all over the country. Th
latest concerning this subject was th
following item clipped from Satui
day's Chicago Times :
"For some unaccountable roaso ;
ruroor has not been busy rccontl
with the general suporintondoncy o
the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Pan
railway. But yesterday rumor introduced
ducod to railway circles a gontlema
who is soon to become the incumbeti
of that important office. The office
referred to is Mr. J. T , Clark , gpr
oral superintendent of the Unio
division of the Union Pacific railway
witlrhcadquartors at Omaha. Ho ho
just finished a tour of the St. Pat
lines , in company with Mr. Merrill
general manager , and it was roportc
yesterday that ho had accepted th
general suporintondoncy. Mr. Clark
whether hu decides upon the rumore
change or not , is ono of the mot
promising young railroad managers i
the west.
The minor of the severance of Gcr
oral Superintendent Clark's conncc
tion , with the Union Pacific is con
firmed by inquiry among the Unipi
Pacific officials. Ho offered his rcsig
nation last week and will leave for hi
now field of duty about the 10th o
May. His successor is not yet do
tcrminod upon and while th
names of P. J. Nichols and Robor
Law , two division superintendents o
the U. P. , are mentioned , it is pps
siblo that some now man will stop in
to his shoos from another road en
tiroly. The position of general , su
porintcndont of the Milwaukee roa <
is a moro responsible ono , beinj
equivalent to that of general man
tiger on other roads , am
is understood to bo mud
moro lucrative. The extension of tin
line to the Missouri river will still it
some degree make Mr. Clark an Omahi
man.

A BKE reporter was yesterday
nformod by n man prominently con <
tooted with the Chicago , St. Paul ,

: iis information from ono of tin
) Ulcials that the terras of the
lalo of that line and branchoi
to the Chicago , Rock Inland
ft Pacific road , had boon iigrcod upon
md that the sale would bo consum.
mated at a very early day. It is diffi
uult to see in what respect this prop
arty would bo of value to the llocl
Island as it has no branches thai
would prove good feeders. There has
however , been considetablo talk o :
mutual invasions of each other's territory
ritory and it may bo that the transfoi
Is to bo the only moans of a compromise
miso , If the appointment of Mr
Clark would bo as penural superintendent
dent of the Rock Island and Omaha < S
St. Paul combined ho would stop inti
ono of the most impoitant railway
positions in tbo United States or in th
world for that matter. There would b
ono important result to Omaha , am
that would bo the entrance of th
Rock Island trains to this city by wo ;
of Blair. It is , however , conceded b ;
nearly all our local railroad men tha

The Well Known Special Agon
Moots With a Sad Accident.
Lost evening Mr. John B. Furay
the well known special agent of thi
postoffico department , mot with i
very serious accident , which wil
probably cost him his right arm.
Ho lives up on Saunders street , i
couple of blocks beyond the terminu
of the rod line street car track , and hai
taken1 a cart to ride home , sitting ou
on the front plalform with the driver
In rounding ono of the numorou
curves at the streqt corners suddenly
the violent mqtion of the car jcrkei
Mr. Furay from his scat , and ho fcl
across the iron guard to the ground
His right arm was caught under thi
wheels , and bcioro the car could b
stopped wan run ever nnd so badl ;
crushed that it is feared amputatioi
will bo necessary.
Mr. Furay was a fine specimen o
manhood physically and it is pretty
hard to moot with such an accidon
n the prime of Jifo. While it seems
carcely probable still his friends wil
hope that ho may escape without th
loss of that useful member of his body
his right'arm.

"Tho doctors say I am doing very
well , but I am not able to write or to

"OLEAR OUT OFHEEB ! "
A Feminine Exclamation tha
Olef t the Midnight Air.
And Awakened a Shot-dun Cockc
and Primed.
The dark pall of midnight had sot
tied down with a dull , heavy thud i
the neighborhood of Boyd's oper
house and elsewhere , last Frida ;
night , as a young man groped his wa ;
through dismal halls and windin
stairs to his lonely couch. Ho is
zealous and attentive practitioner a
the bar , and dispenses unadultoratc
wisdom from numerous bottles t
stimulate the bowola and limber up th
tongue. Ho fa fairly handsome am
unusually modest , and mixes "whisk ;
sour" with n strong 'French-Irish ao
cent. As the bolls ring out the raid
night hour ho wends his way woaril ;
homeward , and it was during ono o
thcso nightly pilgrimages that the un
[ orseon "accidents' * hereafter chroni
cled occurred.
As before stated , this manipulate
of liquid lightning had traversed tin
long hall which led to his apartmon
ind grasped the familiar door knob
The door did not yield to his touch
and his knock brought no rosponsi
but the echo of the sound , Tins ap
patently convinced him that ho hac
struck the wrong room , and ho re
traced his stops till ho found a cloo :
unlocked. Ho entered. There wai
n bed near the center that looked fa
miliar nnd inviting , and , as nc'a :
as ho could distinguish it
the gloom , surrounding object ;
convinced him that ho was in thi
right place. Ho doffed his dud ;
onorgctically , and in a condition o
denuded innocence ho bounced inti
bed. Scarcely had ho touched tin
covers cro ho leaped to his fcot witl
d smothered yell like that producec
by lighting on the sharp end of a tack
At the same instant a form arose ii
the center of the bed , and in a strangi
feminine voice inquired , "Who'i
that ? "
"It's mo , mon , " responded the cul
prit , as ho grabbed for his pants
realizing the dangerous predicament
howusin.
"Clear out of hero , you horric
thin < ? , " yelled the thinly clad form ai
it leaped from the couch and made t
Jash for the slop bowl. Moantimi
the racket aroused the occupants o :
neighboring rooms , and the sound o :
look springs and the squeak of hingei
mingled ominously with thai
produced by the terrified bar
tender as ho cracked hii
knees against bureaus and leaped ovm
: hairs in the search for his clothes-
Chairs , tables , and oven the bed itsel ,
seemed to conspire against him. Nc
matter what way ho turned a demor
in the darkness smote his extremities ,
[ t did not take many seconds for hirr
; o make a circuit of half the room ,
though a portion of the distance WOE
traveled on all fours , m the
learch , while the white robed form
groped on the opposite side for t
portable weapon. Both struck whal
they wanted at the same instant. The
poung man struck for the door as t
huge basin grazed the pxtremity of
liis spine and dashed itself to piece !
) n the wall. He cleared the
3oor in one bound and fell into the
inns of his room mato.'who , armed
with a repeater , came out to capture
the burglar. A glance at the gan wet
mfllcient. The frightened and shiverIng -
Ing bartender fell on his knees and
bogged for mercy. Ho was dragged
into the room and permitted to live.
The enemies of this young man
Iiavo endeavored to injure him by in-
iustriously circulating the report thai
tie purposely and with malice afore
thought , raided the room , and tailing
in his object , invented the facts above
related.Yo have thoroughly .inves
tigated the matter and can assure i
loubting public that he is not ono o

Mistaken identity.
