Mjl'UAMXC ON A KO111IK1IY.
It teems th.it I\lajor \ Williams , as he is
perhaps the best known , was engaged in
a bad scrape in bioux City a Mioit time
ago. A cattle man with a big roll vvas
the victim. He was filled upindnoLbeinK :
able to get his money in any other way
the gang concluded to taku it by force.
\ \ bile in a drunki u condition he was be
guiled by some pretext into going to a
sei'huk-d iiarl ol the railway . \ards , and
then "Tho Mujor" vvitli homo of
his companions knocked him down
and got the money. In the seullle
Williams got his foot eanglit in a fiog
and in his liasto to get away.jerked itout ,
and in this wav hint his foot. This ac
counts lor the limp which liis been no
ticeable of late in hi.s walk. The man ,
Hughes , v.ho vvas tlio victim of the
tragedy yesterday morning , w us not in
the paity who Knocked down and lob
bed the ealtle man , but ho claimed th.it
he vv.is the one who "steered" the cattle
man into thu trap &et for him. Ho vvas
the one who po = tnj the major , and had
it not been for his stai ting the .scheme ,
the plunder could have been -ccnrcil.

of llio wound being of such a nature that
he of course was anxious to kee ] ) oven
the fact ot havingKieh a wound a M-cret.
Ho vvasery : in.\ious that SOUK-surgeon

I'rpm this it nppear.s flint no had then
in liis mind the intention of bhooting
Hughes , and tlio piobability thai lie
might hayo hard work to escape. With
two of his companions ho went to the
Union avenno hotel and theie hid : n
stormy talk with Hughes. He cabled
Hu.rhis . everything that ho could find in
\oluininouti vocabulary of obscenity
and iirolnnity. Ho bccmcd anxious for
lliiKlieH to .stiilco him or to iennt the in-
sulu , so us lo give him an excuse for
shooting , but Hughes took creiything
( juielly and declared Unit ho did not
want any tumble with him , JIafor'ill -
iams and bib companions finally left the
hotel and went about fotvn , drinKinir at
various places. They wens in ( ho Fhii--

a hncK to go down Hioadw.iy. As they
got in the hack Willianm vvr ) heaid to
lemark that they would "do the d-d

visited the hotel where Hughes was

Children Cry Kor II.
Yesterday a boy and girl appealed at
the county clerk's office , and with the
greatest nonchalance asked for a mar-
ri.igt1 hccn-e. The appearance of the
couple was such that it nearly took away
i he bicnth of Clerk Shea. The boy
claimed to have reached the age of 17
yeais , and the girl went him one better
and said she was 18. They were dics ed
in the plainest clothing , by no means
tidy , and they looked as far oil'in dress as
the'y did in age for candidates fcr matri
mony. The boy gave his ago as Mowry
and the girl said her name was Hoover
anil she lived with her aunt. Her father
iiiui mother were dead and she could
not very well gel their consent She
could get the consent of her aunt , though ,
The boy said his father was dead , but nis
mother would give her consent They
weio'cut away with a icquest to bring
Ihe necessary permits and this vvas
thought to end the matter , but brick
llicj came , smiling and blooming , the boy
'
liav'ing a note purporting to be signed by
his mother , and the girl a like note sign
ed bj her aunt. The eleik vvas hard
heaited , and still could not , ee his wav
clear to grant mariiago licenses to chil
dren. Hu leftibcd thih time perempto
rily , and the girl tocsed her head con
temptuously , while the boy wanted to
know why the clerk tlnia stood between
them mid bliss. He was infoinied that
tonic ichpoiibible and disintereBU.d parti
must first come to the ofjicu and file the
necessary proofs mid affidavits The Ind
and lassie went away < iut at heart Su
pervisor Hardin , who stood watching the
young couple as they detuned , strength
ened the position of llie clerk by ex
plaining thai he knew the boy andthu
