An Kxoltnifr Chase After
YcMtvrilay Mornim * .
Two or thri'o shots tired in rapid suc
cession near the corner of Thirteenth and
Farnam frtrci'ts , about threu o'clock yus-
tcrday morning , startled thu
natives , Upon investigation it
dovclopetl. that the shooting
had been done by OtVienr White , who was
pursuing a. band of three cracksman who
had uttemtcd ] ) to oll'eet an enlranco into
John Baumcr's jewelry store on Farnam
street . .between Thirteenth and Four
teenth.
A few moments before , Officer Whit'1
had been .standing in a dark reeet.i near
Baumcr's ' store , when , locking down the
Btrcet , ho discovered a man peukmg
around the coy sr of Thirteenth Mi-cut. as
though looking out for danger. The
man kejit cautiously surveying
the situation , now withdrawing his
hiiiid and now putting it out again
Oflicer White concluded that something
waH wrong , and made up his mind to in-
vefctigato. Accordingly lie tiptoed si
lently down to Thirteenth street , taking
earn to keep in the dark shadows.Vlmn \
he reached the corner , hit found that the
fellow , wlivtjver he was , had disappeared.
Jin continued north on Thirteenth street ,
and reached the alley by the Omalia Na
tional bank. Looking up the alley ho
discovered three men in the act of break
ing into the rear door of liatnncr'8 store.
Ilo at once gave chase. The burglars
lied through thu allev to Fourteenth
street , rilutiing from Fourteenth down
Farnam to Thirteenth , hotly pur
sued by White , who was getting
over the ground at a lively
iiaco , firing his revolver as ho wnut.
One of the men turned south on Thir
teenth , ami was pursued by Roundsman
Mat/a , wlio happened along at this crisis ,
but managed to escape , as the officer
slipped on' tht ) pavement and snvcrcly in
jured himself. Thu other two men ran
through the alley on Thirteenth street to
Hlggins' saloon , where all trace of hem
wasloht. The gang was undoubtedly a
tough one. and but for the timely pres
ence of Ollicer White , might have made
a big haul.

Some three or four weeks ago Genera ]
Howard made application for a largo
number of recruits to take the place of
the soldiers at the western posts who
wore retiring from the service. The re
quest has been granted , and within the
past day or so , a large number of recruits
have arrived. Yesterday , a batch of

They were from David's Island , N. Y. ,
and have been under the command of
Lieut. Harbour. Twenty-six of them will

fi ort Omaha.
A table of the largest averages made
by tlie virious companies at thy different
forts throughout this department has
been compiled by Col. Henry , nllo in
structor , lor the season of liteSO In com
menting upon the matter , Gen. Howard
says :
The department commander is much
gratified at the successful results attained
by Ins command during the lust target
season , particularly by those with limit
ed practice. The largo reduction of
those in the third class over former years
is evidence of a decided progress in the
knowledge of rillo practice. It is to bo
regretted that of the Kill third class men
in this department , one-third belongs to
troops C and 1 , Dili cavalry , while other
troops of that regiment , especially those
at regimental headquarter * , have made
s'lich remarkable advance. Men in the
thin ) class should bo unknown in any
troop or company claiming to be prop
erly instructed in its duties.

just disembarking. Hu says
that the city wears its usual
quiet aspect , although the
feeling of the Mormons against the gentiles -

open demonstration of hostility , but no
one doubts tnat the saints are hatching

Whenever n parly ot convivial gentiles ,

Death of YOIIIIK llarrett. the South
Omaha Shooter.
Young Barrett , who was wounded in
the leg during the shooting nfi'ray at
South Omaha on N'ovomber 21 ,
died Wednesday night at St. Joseph's
hospital where hu had been
taken for treatment. From the
first tlio wound was considered
n dangerous one. and the surgeons failed
to locale the bullet. Gangrene dually
.set in and caused death as above stated.
The body was conveyed to tlio homo of
the young man's aunt in South Omaha.
In the allray which cost Barrett
his lifo he was tlie ngiiv' < or. While in
toxicated ho was ejected from .strath-
man's saloon , in South Omaha , and pro
ceeded lo avenge himself by shooting
through the door , one or the bullets gr.r/-
lug the ear of one of the occupants of
the room. Barrel ! ( lion turned and ran ,
and , meeting Jack Cook in the street ,
knocked him down anil tired at liini. Tlie
pvostrate man succeeded in pulling hix
revolver , and us Barrett started to run
ho tired. Tlio ball struck Barrett in the
heel and continued its course up his leg
for soinu distance. An infuriated mob
gathered and were about to l.\nuh \ Bar
rett , when the doctor arrived'anil pro
nounced the injury a most serious one ,
which caused the men to desist from their
purpose.
Coroner Drexel was not notified of
Bsrrett'.s death until yesterday afternoon ,
when ho Immediately went to South
Omalia lo hold an inquest. A jury was
impaneled and Dr. Kelly | orformod the
po t mortem examination. He found
that the bullet had entered Barrett's leg
near the ankle , and pursuing an upward
course , had lodged near the knee joint
where it was found. A number of wit
nesses were called , but as Jack Cook ,
who did the shooting , was not on hand ,
the inquest was adjourned until this
morning at 10 o'clock. Cook came to
Omaha yesterday , expecting to return in
a short time , but lie was detained by the
wreck at the summit.

Editor of the BICI : : The above little
gem is exquisite in its way. If there
were fewer points of resemblance in the
context of the two parts , it might have a
slightly pernicious tendency , insofar as
the conclusion is pointed to , that any
sane person could make a threat of the
kind. However , tlio amount of mutter
contained in the apparent threat is .so
limited that it would bedilfioiiltto gather
stilficicnt data for an induction positively
demonstrating a common origin. In
truth there is inherent evideueo'pointing
Jo exactly to the opposite comprehension ;
in this , to-wit : Tlio sentence , " \Ve want
no habeas corpus" on the hypothesis of
n common origin , ought to read , ' 'We
don't want no habeas corpus. " A gram
matical habit is not easily thrown oil' ,
even in attempt at disguise.
The hitter half ot' this jeu d'esprit is of
laudably courageous tone , and of a cour
age , too , that it might even bo well to
manifest in print especially when so
well vouched lor by the exposition of an-
central valor. When attorneys cease to
be courageous. It will bo in vain not only
to expect thu best handling of any indi
vidual cane , but also to hope for clients
who might.othonviso , bring "every other
cas < ! , "
Tim rebuke to possible "intimidated
magistrates" betokens an elevated public
spin ) , which could not bo more impress
ive if il wore the common practice for
magistrates themselves to use the craven
weapon , dynamite.
To one wno.sc-ins the horizon in search
of nphhi exemplars , th ro is much com
fort in the assurance that there actually
exists "many other tearless and able at
torneys. " As to the removal of such , the
cxpri'.ssiou is well taken. Whcro the
lives ot ordinary people are involved ,
other modes of stating the mailer are
appropriate , but It remained fortiiiileati
to crystali/.o in the language a form
suited to victims of n higher order. On
the whole , for all well-moaning people ,
caablc ) of appreciating tlio more refined
courage neeoMary to meet the marvel
ous ! y destructive agents of modern in
vention , there is much to oxoito universal
gralnlation in thu promise : "Pleaso
fiod , when wo die , wo won't die
cowards. " ' A.MA.NS VWTUTKSI.

to obtain a portion of tin- estate of Peter
Donahue who died a few weeks since in
