anil 111 * Household cukeit.
A man with his head swathed in a
bushel of bandages , permitting but ono
blood sjiot eye to peer through , with hib
tirm hung In a sling and a crutch steady
ing his.limpinggait , entered Judge Hran-
deH court ThurMlay evening and asked to
swear out a complaint for assault
nnd battery with intent to kill.
He gave the name of Julius I'uls , a
dairyman living west of thu poor farm
about tinoo mile.- ! from the city , and the
story ho told , as well a.s could be gleaned
from his painful speechindicated that his
recent experiences must have bceu ex
citing.
It si-ems that he had two men in his
employ , Kudolph LambiechlandVilliam
Stendar. Tlioy drove teams for him and
helped about the farm. Thursday both
men had abused their horses and alter re
proving them for their cruelly , a row
arose , In thu course of whiuh I'uls dis
charged them. He then went to the
house , leaving Lamhrccht and Stendar in
thu barnyard. It was then about live
o'clock in thu evening. A half
hour later both men walked into the
house armed with sticks and fork han
dles. Thuy at oiicu made a rush upon
Puls and began to beat him with their
cudgels. Puls wis defenseless , but a
double barrelled shot gun stood in the
ne.\t room and this he struggled to reach.
lie finally secured it , closely pressed by
his assailants , but before ho had time
to use sthe weapon , they grappled
with liiiii , and in thu struggle thu gun
was discharged into the ceiling. The two
men quickly wrenched tlio gun from
Puls' grasp , and one of them struck him
senseless to thu lloor with a heavy blow
of the butt upon his head. They then
beat htm some moro , and after taking
his silver wateli and simishing all ( hu
furniture in thu house , left him Iving
bleeding and bruised upon thu lloor.
The Puls1 family had been frightened
from the hou.se and ran to neighbors
screaming inurdi r as thry Jlcd. Later
thuy returned and found Puls just regain
ing consciousness in the midst ol the
wreck < > f < he household goods. A doctor
was called and bus wounds given medical
attention. Although it was a perilous
effort , Puls insisted unon making com
plaint at once and was driven into town
and to Justice liniiidos1 court.
The judge issued warrants against Lam-
becht and Stendar for a&sault and battery
with intent to kill und Constable Paul
Stein went out yesterday to arrest
the men. Old man Fids is in u critical
condition and tlic case may prove
of very serious consequences. Lamueeht
and Stendar may have a dillerent story
to tell when arraigned.

Jiidgfc Dundy began yesterday the
hearing of Merriam vs. Warren , a Nebras
I 51 ka City suit. Willard D. Merriam , the
I plaintiff , is n shrewd capitalist for whom
I Edwin K. Warren , the defendant , who is
H lawyer , once collected $ l > ,000of which
hu turned over but $8,000. Merriam now
sues to recover the $1,000 difl'ercnco and
WarrenW.ts up for defense that , the portion
tion he retained was his fee.
Assistant District Attorney Uartlolt an
nounced to the court yesterday that
the prosecution was ready to take up the
jaso ogainst E. W. Heath , the cmbe/zllng
assistant postmaster at Kearney. Air.
Webster , counsel for Heath , arose and
stated that ho was not yet. ready to say
whether he could prepare himself for
trial this term. Thu court then ordered
that Mr. Webster must appear on the
morrow and give good cause why he
honld not bo ready for trial ut this
term ,
In the case of the United States vs.
Luke VorhucB , a $ tar route suit , Judge
Dundy sustained Mr. Webster's demurrer
to the bjll of the prosecution. Tliu de
murrer was based upon a technical error ,
nnd as ihO'douunicnt of the government
was drtiwn tip by George It , Douglas ,
Assistant attorney general of the
United States , it would seem
that thu best of barristers
are liable to err. The prosecution ob
tained ten days leave to lilo. an amended
petition. LUKO Voorhces was a mail con
tractor who , , it is charged , made false
representations of the increase of the
mail service < jn Ids route to obtain gome
114,000 , , ami this amount thu gov
ernment nojv sues to recover. Mr.
Webster was then given ton days to lilo
and iitiBWcij and tie ; prosecution again
live days ' ( to counter , All this witli the
understanding thattho cause shall bu tried
in thu January term at Lincoln.

Tom Murray's agent , Mr Charles Sel

largely by two hired men , cleaned out tin
well on the Murray premises at the corner
nor of Fourteenth and Jackson street1
Thursday afternoon. The tales of horror
told of this \\ell by the neighbors am
made known in the o eolmiH on Wednes
day evening had arrouscd public senti
mcnt in that locality to such a pilch thai
an investigation was nut to bo denied. As
soon as the operating parly entered the
grounds and started to work , the tenants
of the score of shanties about the lot came
out and supervised the job , The
well was discovered to bo forty
feel deep , and .soundings showed
that it contained water. Grapnels were
lirs-t let down and made fast to
everything touched. The lir t haul was
made gingerly and every heart beat m
high pitched expectancy. A sickly laugh
greeted the lifst disclosure a scrap of
r.ig carpel. Again and again foreign
matter was lishcd up and in each case thu
character of the catch was the same , as
far as it failed to bo horrible oyster cans ,
fragments of clothing , an old hoop skirt ,
shoes hats and cast off articles of every
character. A caudle was then let down and
as it burned until the water was touched ,
one of the workmen followed , descending
by a rone. For a half hour this man
scraped and shoveled , sending up bucket
after bucket lilled with mud , sticK.s.stoue ,
bottles ami trash. When the last had
been brought to the top and not a bone
or s-uirgcslion of infant skeletons had
been discovered , the toilers rested their
labors and discussed ( lie situation. Tliu
conclusion was unanimously reached
that no babes had been entombed in the
wull or if any had been they had
since been able to get out. With this ,
the well was closed up again and ad
journment taken without a day.

An interesting example of the man-
igemont of county finances , in its must
> ectiliur form , cornea from Sherman
county.
Under the act of 1ST. , authorizing
counties to fund their outstanding in-
lebtedness by the issuance of bonds for
.hat purpose , Sherman county put out a
icavy series of securities. Parties who
icld some of these bonds to thu amount ,
with interest added , of fSOO , placed them
n tlio hands of thu local law linn of
Jartlott it Cornish. When the bonds
jceamo due some months ago the county
leclarcd that it had no money to meet
hem. Heeently tiie purchas-
; rs nressud for their payment ,
ind Atcssra. Uartlett it Oorois.li sent
> no of their representatives , Mr. F. W.
/itch , out to Sherman county to see what
: oulil be. done. Mr. Fiteli in pursuing his
nvesligatious discovered that the county
jail in reserve a .judgment fund of sift'-
iclent amount' , if so employed , to cover
he face of the bonds. He called the at-
Utenlion of the commissioners to this
'act ' and at his solicitation they held a
special meeting and agreed to nay the
Minds out of thn judgment fund. This
va.s done and Mr. Fitch returned from
us mission yesterday morning.
It seems tjuit Sherman county has been
'or years in the past under a reckless
ring which has nearly ruined the county.
I'licno individuals in their official capacity
repeatedly issueil wildcat bonds of such
peculiar nature that their invalidity ,
ilthough not apparent , was declared on
: heir lace. These werj thrown on the
STew York market and numbers of pur
chasers were thus swindled out
of tiieir money. In this wise
Sherman county has built many
school houses which , to this day , have
icvcr been paid for. This ring , however ,
las been swept away , and an honest
vMmtvgovernment raised which is work-
ng with growing success to establish the
linaneial credit of the county which has
so long been impaired. Many expres
sions of approval are heard for the county
n its new departure.

"There are a large number of boys in
this city , " said Judge Stcnberg to a reporter -
porter , yesterday , "most of them uudertlie
age of 15 years , who ought to be in the
reform school. They are not kept at
school , spend most of their time away
from home , get into hard company , anil
go to the bad in a very short time , They
tall in with other boys who teach them to
ho and steal , and commit other crimes ,
and as they grow up they develop into
llrht-class < r joks. lean't deal witli them
here in police court , as they should bo
dealt with. I can send one of these
characters to the county jail for a few
days , but when ho gets out
ho falls into his old com
pany again , and is as bad as ever. The
only way to deal with ono of these incor
rigible youngsters is to send him to the
the reform school. I shall write to the
superintendent of the institution at Kear
ney and see if ho can make room for
several 'patients' from tliJS city. I do
not thmk that the number of boys sent to
tliu reform school from Omaha , during
Iho past two or three years , Will exceed
Ihrec. Omaha pays nor share toward
the support of this institution and she
ought to derive some benelit from it. "
