A CURIOUS TALE ,
A Serious Termination to a Huntlnc
Expedition.
Yesterday afternoon John Langer , a
man who haa boon living for some time
*
on lower Division street , wasordered by
Dr. Morguar to the St. Joseph hospital.
His foot had boon terribly frozen a few
weeks ago , the flesh had mortified and
dropped off , leaving the poor man a help
less cripple , probably for life.
The utory antecedent to hia sufferings
is somewhat peculiar. It Booms that
Lander has for a long time been in des
titute circumstances. Four or fivowooko
ago starvation stared him in the face ,
and hia family were almost totally with
out the necessaries of life. Ho determin
ed to do something to procure food.
Shouldering his gun , ho started
out on a hunting expedition
and sought to bring down
sorno game. In the course of his
wanderings , it was that extremely cold
Saturday night about four weeks ago , ho
came across an island on the lake where
ho determined to atop for the night ,
build a fire and go to sloop. It turned
out however , that the Island was a
marshy plot and the froezlngwator was
soon dashing around his feat. ; ( Before ho
could got to land lingers feet were ter
ribly frozen through aud through. Ho
roaohed home as beat ho could and slnco
that nlgnt has been very sick. The accl-
will maim him for life. Hia family
in very deatltuto circumstances.
'ORSEY'S ' DISAPPEARANCE ,
A Vexed Question of Accidental
Drowning or Surreptitious Flight.
Some time ago , it will bo remembered ,
a young man named Alonzo Dorsoy sud
denly diaappoarod from hia homo in
North Omaha. Ho was list soon with o
companion at Florence Lake and it was
supposed after nothing was hoard of him
for several days , that ho had been uccl-
dontly drowned in the lako. Slnco hia
disappearance ho has not boon hoard
from. The matter is being quietly in
vestigated , however , and a satisfactory
solution of the mystery is looked for at
an early day.
It la now the theory of the detectives
that Dorsoy has gene to New Orleans. It
has been discovered upon investigation
that a plan had been formed among cer
tain of Doraoy'a associates and frienda
to rig up a boat and make
a trip to Now Orleans , after true piratical
fashion , abandoning all oanvontionslitles
of civilization , and living the life of the
"wild and careless sailor boy. " It appears
, that the expedition really started out ,
j0 lf S > 3j\A \ it is but fair to suppose that Doraey
" " " ( may have been one of the number. "Why
ho should have loft hia friends and rela
tive in this oity in such a secret and sur
reptitious manner , docs not appear. The
clue Is a firm ono , and is being carefully
followed up.
Hntlccd From Her Homo.
1 The Grand Island papers toll of the
i stealthy and eti'jotual manner in which a
notorious don of females was broken up
last Friday night by the chlof of police

was a Miss Bates , who la a young gill bul
fifteen years of ago , and who bos been
living up to a few months ago with hei
relatives in this city. She was arrested
by the Grand Island police and hold foi

some time ago the Bates girl was enticed
away from her homo In this city by i
woman who calls heraelf Parkhurst , and
who is a notorious character well knotrc
to the police of this oity under varloui
aliases. An eftort will bo made to brinj

FUANKUX , Nob. , Dec. 22. After
three years of nbaoiico , I am ghd to re
turn to the prairie atato again ; loonlng
over the now towns of promlao , I ha\-o
settled in Franklin. 1 shall bo glad to
chat now and then with the readers of
the BI'.E. Nebraska is n marvel. In
1871I rode over the B. & M. as far as
Sutton , then Its terminus , hardly any.
thing beyond , The stations on the road
had two or three honsos apicco. But in
a few years a now empire has sprung into
life west ot the Blue ; and ono can scarce
believe such transformation possible.
Th-m the eye ranged wearily over the
bottomless prairies , with no dwelling or
tree in sight , bat In so short a time beau
tiful groves , bearing orchards nnd com *
fortablo homos have sprung up as if by
magic , nnd real estate has riaen as no
where olso. When „ ono contrasts the
steady growth , the even prosperity , of
this whplo atato , with the "prospect
holes , " the delusive hopes , the wasted
capital and energies of onr neighbors of
the mountains , ho can but give the palm
to the land of the prairies.
Franklin is a charming place with good
proapoctu and rapid growth. It Is in ono
of the most bcantiful portions of Nebras
ka Hero the river itself is dammedand
Rico & Sons , who own the mill , have
unlimited power enough loft over to car
ry several important manufactories.
They are needed hero in this valley and
would pay well.
TUB NEW cuuitru.
The Congrcgatlonalists dedicated their
now church yostorday. It Is ono of the
finest In the valley. It has a solid foun
dation , ia built of heavy timbers , and
thoroughly bracec1. It ia 30 foot by GG
in Us extreme length , and will scat 400
persons. The rapid growth of the town
and the school make a largo house neces
sary. The sum of $425 was raised in a
few moments to pay up the Indebtedness.
The sermon was preached by Ilov. Air.
Mailo , of Omaha , the present anporiu-
tondont of homo missions.
THE ACAnfiMV ,
under the care of Prof. Hampjon , is
doing remarkably well. Few men have
the high art of teaching , and when ono
is found , ho is the benefactor of his ago.
Under his leadership , the buildings
already erected are full and entirely in
adequate to the demands , and DO a move
ment is on feet to put up a maeslvo stone
building , 40x00 , and four stories high.
This will accommodate 60 more students.
Charles Kirtland , Esq. , formerly a largo
contractor of Meriden , Conn. , is nowhere
hero preparing plans and specifications
and superintending the work. The
the building will coat $10,000. and will
bo an imposing structure. The public
school has just doubled its capacity , and
is nqw supplied with able teachers.

PUGILISTIC EVENT ,
Frol' MiMor nnd BIcNnlly to Meet
in the King
A prize fight ia now being arranged be
tween Prof. Miller , the well known
pugilist of this city , and McNally , of
O'Neill. McNally will ba remembered
as tno gentleman of pugilistic proclivities
who so thoroughly did np 0. H. Smith
a few days ago at O'Neill. McNally is
regarded by all members of the sporting
fraternity as a first class man.and his
backers are anxious to match him with
Miller , believing that ho will bo able to
atand np well. Tno details so far on
consummated are for hard gloves ,
and fight to a finish with the prizp ring
rules for $250 a aide , the battle to take
place either at O'Neil or Omaha. It ia
expected that in a day or two all the ar
rangements will be completed.
McNally ia a plucky handler of the
gloves , aud can make mattera Interesting
fir Miller. The Omaha sports are some
what nettled at the result of the Smith-
McNally contest , and declare themselves
ready to back Omaha , should the contest
como off , to an extent unlimited.
The TV < st Po nt Creamery.
A BEE reporter , iu the course of hia
rambles last night , came across a gentle
man who lives in West Point , Nebraska.
Ho gave aomo interesting facts with re
gard to the creamery and butter company
located in that place , for which n receiver
was recently appointed. It seems that
the corporation haa always been in sound
condition. Its stock has at all times
been quoted at steady figures. All wou'd '
have well but for the failure of 1C D ,
Brown , recently connected with a bank
of Middloton , N , Y. Mr. Brown was
leading stockholder in the creamery , and
when his aiLira became deaperato-
ly involved , ho assigned hla
stock to a broker. Poole , of Chicago. As
soon as Brown's ' financial embarrassment
threatened the company , they gave a
chattel mortgage for certain moneys be
longing to the state funds , which were in
their possession , In this way it was
hoped to etave off disaster. Poole be
came frightened at this step , and applied
for a receiver , who was appointed re
cently in the United States court , The
concern is now in good financial shape ,
and will noon bo ready , it is thought , to
resume operations on tbo form or scale.
The necessity for the receiver no longer
exists , and tbo outlook for the company
ia decidedly bright
Frank IIuriiH Arrested ,
Yesterday afternoon Frank Burns ,
the man who was convicted of a mur
derous assault against Billy Willard , and
ordered out of town , in default of $1,000
bonda , was arrested again ,
He was seen walking along in a calm ,
leisurely sort of manner , and when he
was approached by the marshal , ho said
f that he had come back to obtain some
olothos which ho had left behind him in
his hurry to leave town. The marshal
thouijht it best to lock Frank up , pend
ing Judge itoneko's decision , and now
that individual languishes in prison.

longer train engineers to lay otf certain trips
mil permit the freight engineer * to take their

their assistance , and with tha aid of axes
broke open the doors and let them
out. Iu the burning dining-car tha heat was
intense , and before a rescue could bo effected

A KEMlNlSCIONCn
A. Suit In Ban Frftnclsoo that Ilccalli
tlio Fair Divorce Ciisc ,
San Franslsco Chronicle.
Oa October III lait a complaint wa
filed in the superior conrt in the suit a
Hlchard V , Day against Janus 0. Fair
to recover $51,000. , Mr , Dey , who n
present cccupion the position of privat
secretary to JV. . Mackty , and ia betto
known in the neighborhood of Pine an
ftlontpofbery streets by the sobriquet c
of Dickie Day , save In hla complaint tha
about March 5 , 1883 , Senator Fair , feai
ing nnd anticipating anncaion for divorce
oaatmt him on the part of his wife ,
Mrs. Therc. Fair , advlacd with
him thereabout , | * r.d from that
dnto until May 25 , 18315 , thti plaint
iff rendered to the dofondMit , both in
this city nnd in the Atnto of Itovnda , In
nnd about such euit , which tvns bogua
thercattor , "advice , ciro , labor , attcn-
tl ai , and ncrvlcc , for which the defend
ant promised 10 p y the plalutlu"on de
mand not only nhtit such senicni were
worth , bu . in n princely niRtintr and
amount. " It is further allegud thit thc o
tcrvicctt were worth tbu sum of $30,000 ,
and that the pi tint ; ! } ' in addition lutd on
and expended for the defendant thn sutu
of $1,750 , of which only $700 hr.a bocn
repaid. By n strange oversight in the
county clerk's otllco the complaint was
pigoon-holod without being left out for
the Information of the pres3.
A Chronicle reporter found Mr. Dey
last night , and iuquitod of him what was
the nature of the services for which ho
claims so high n rate of compensation.
Mr. Doy said iu replied.
"I have known Senator Fair intimate
ly for n great number of yearn At tlio
time mentioned I occupied a confidential
position frith the Comstock companion.
Air. Fair know that Mrs. Fair proposed
to obtain a dtvorco from htm. His Rrent
desire was to obtain n satisfactory adjust
ment of the financial terms of the sepa
ration. All his property was community
property , nnd ho was tn danger of being
stripped of ono half of hia accumula
tions. Besides this ho wished to avoid the
Bctiud/i vhlch would bo caused by drag
ging into public notoriety the lianas of a
number of persons of the opposite sex
iu the endeavor to provo the charges
which were the basis of the divorce suit.
I advised with him continually , and , at
his request , neglected ovary other busi
ness to devote tny whole attention to
this matter. The idea was , by furnishing
Mrs. Fair's ' counsel with the cvldcuco
which would eimblo her to sustain her
complaint , to induce her to consent to
accepting § , ' 5,000,000 or thereabouts ,
which was a warded to her in the decree
iu lion of her shnro in the community
properly. 1 want you to distinctly
understand that there was nothing In
the shape of collusion , but I simply , at
Mr. Fair's request , nuccocdod in
procuring two persons who wcro
willing to testify OB to matters which had
already occurred , upon whoso testimony
the divorce was granted. During all this
time Senator Fair continually promised
ino that if I would help him in this matter -
tor ho would reward mo in a princely
manner , and frequently stud that ho
would make mo rich. Ho has not done
so , nnd I have therefore brought this
action. "
Calling on Senator Fair , that gentleman -
man said to n icporter :
"Of course I have read the csmplaint ,
but there is not a word of truth In it.
However , I have nothing to eay in
answer to Mr. Doy'a tntomont. The
matter Is in the hands of my lawyers
nnd I think that it is in hotter taste to
fight my case in the courts , where it
properly belongs , than in the newspa
pers , although I wish to treat the repre
sentatives of the press with every
courtesy. The Chronicle h&s always
treated mo faiily , even if It did pitch
Into us somewhat in tha old mining
days. "
"Well , but is there not some founda
tion for Mr. Dey'sj action ? "
"None whatever. Just think for your
self. Poor Dick says that ho advanced
mo money. Now consider our relative
positions , and then see the absurdity of
his making advances for mo. The fact
of the matter ia Dick hasn't got any
money , ana naturally enough , I sup
pose , ho wants some , and that ia about
all there ia of it. And then , again ,
what would I want him to ivlvlso mo
for ? I had the best hwyers in the city
engaged , and when I pay competent law
yers I am uoually in the habit of letting
thorn do the advising. The action is
simply absurd. "
"I understand , senator , that Mr. Doy
accompanied yon in your travels round
the world ? "
"Yes ; I was In poor health and I
naked him to go with mo. In fact , ho
wanted to go , and I will say this for him ,
my health rendered 11 necessary that I
should have a great deal of attentionnnd
ho was really very kind and attentive , so
that I am surprised to see the course ho
has taken. "
