Near Hulo , Klelmrdson county , the conductor of the train , Tom Connor , one of the company' * old men in the service , in collecting fare from Taylor paid him in change a ? . " ) gold piece instead of a quarter. Words arose over the matter and an assault fol lowed , in which Connor bruised Taylor considerably , so much so that ho now sols up a claim of damages , because of the oflccLs of the assault hois titJil for business. \ \ hero the mistake arose as to the if * > gold piece seems to bo yet an tin- Bellied question. The prosecution had not yet ( hushed their side of the case at noon yesterday nnd the defense with u largo number of witnesses hail yet their wide to present , so that a verdict to day is improbable ) . The defense will deny the injury and defend on Ihe ground that the conductor was not In the line of duty when the assault , if any , was committed , and in that line attempt lo establish thu question of liability.

A I'KOMINI-.NT HKUnr HILf , . Ono of tlie prominent rcliel bills thus far introduced this session is one that re vives the story and the results of one of the blackest murders evci committed in the htalc. The bill wan introduced by Latta of Burt and it is for the relief of C. A. .Johnson , of Burl county , in payment foi the value of his barn and block that was burned by a sherin"'s poise in the work of capturing a murderer. Mr. Johnson lives near the town of Lyons and the case of barn burning will speedily bring to mind the .story of the crime that e.xcited that section of the state. ISrielly roviowc.il it is as follows : In the month ot March , 18MJ , II. C Steadman , living between the towns of Lyons and Bancroft in Burt county was .shot in cold blood by a Mexican who had been in his employ as n farm hand for nearly a year. Pursuit was at once made for the murderer and this became .so hot for him that he took refuge in a barn , where with a fusihido from lire arms that he had with him he kept thu crowd at bay until tlioy decided to bum the barn after the pattern of the Wilkcs Booth capture to get the murderer. This was successful , as the body burned to a crisp , was found afterward , but it was an ex pensive capture , as it entailed the loss of the line barn , four span of horses that wore In it , some catllo and a largo amount of grain and machinery. The owner of the building sought to recover the loss of his building and property from the county , but the board of commis sioners f > .iid that they hail not the righl to act in the case , hence tlio relief bil that now comes before the legislature. This bill is house roll mini bcr 88 , and re cites it is for the relief of O. A , Johnson in the sum of $ I'jt7. ; As the county re fuses payment on the ground of jurisdic tion , and us tlie barn and contents were burned by a sheriff's posse to capture a man who had murdered in two days two men it would seem as though thu state ought to be interested in tiie pay ment. CASKS KIfKl > . The following cases have been filed in the district court the past two days that will go to make up the docket forltho 1'olirimry term of court ; Warriok 1'rico commences suit agains the Ii. Ai M. railroad in Nebraska and : mortgage loan company or two to recover the amount of delinquent taxc.s that lie paid back in the seventies on u curtail tract of land in Lancaster county. This land was allowed at that time to run until the delinquent taxes forced a tax : sale , and Price paid them and purclmsce the land at a private lax sale. However the then county treasurer , through error ; that were fatal , executed a ilccd that wa. useless , wherefore , as Price has no tax eleed upon which to recover ho seeks through the court to establish the equity of his case and recover the money with interest that ho invested m taxes on the lands in tlie years of the pasl.

Sent to SlnRGIiiR fnr Ten Ycnrs for ft Crime Ho Dltl Not Conitnll. New York Herald : How ninny inno cent men nro there Fiillerintr within the xwful jrranite walls .it Sine bing ? Think ! A tiny or two ago William I'oolo nnd Joseph Font were set free by Governor lill's pardon. 1'Iicy had ( served lea yea' * of a life sentence for u murder they know nothing ibnut. Xow comes another case : btuiiE by remorse , Henry Tlenicr , a . .crinnn pr'ocor of this city , has made nn illidiivlt declariiiR that ho believes ho ent six years npo nn Innocent man to Slim Sintr for a term of ten years. John Wallace is the victim , nnd the story of how he was convicted is starting - ing in the po il > ilitins that it suggests. An application for n pardon has been nailo to Governor Hill by Mr. U. A. Winch of N'o.Vcst ! } ! ! Kinhteonlh street , who used to employ the unfortunate pris oner as a drher of one of Ins ice wagons. I'o a reporter Mr. U inch yesterday told the story. "In 18 1 , "ho said , "Wallnco was ac cused of robbing Henry Kleiner of a watch and some money in Washington KirkFlenicr had been to a picnic in Jones' wood , nnd , alter seeing Ins teniale companion home , he said that lie felt sick. lie had been drinking. About 1 or - ) 'clock in the morning he sat down on a bench in Washington park. Ho went to ? lcot ) . When lie nuoko ho found that he lind been robbed Looking around , the only person ho saw was Wallace , who was passing. Surmising that he was the lliicf , Flemrr ran after him and accused Imn. Wallace denied the charge repeat edly and became angry. Kinally , after lolling KJuiner to go awav several"tunes. . liu struck htm a blow. Kleiner .shouted for a policeman , and had Wallace ar rested , charging him with tlio crime of hiirhwiiv robber } ' . The police found none of the missing money or the watch in tlie prisoner's possession. "Wallace was taken to the Jefferson market police court , was committed to Lht ! tombs , anil had to stay there because lie had few friends and no ono eamo to hail him. Later he was imitated and tried in the court of general sessions before thidiro Cowing. The only evidence iiganibt him was that of Kleuiorand of the policeman , who simply Hworo that he heard a cry for help , and upon reaching riemer was requested to arrest Wallace for robbery. Wallace was convicted and scut to Sing Sing for ten years. His term will e\piro in a year from the coming iVpril. "The lirst knowledge 1 had of the case was through a letter written by Wallace lo mo while ho was in the Tomb's. 1 knew liim to bo an honest , good young fellow , but he was too lleshy for our business. 1 railed upon him and ho told me history. lie .said that he hail been lo see a police ollicor on post in Allen street about get ting a position in the street cleaning de partment under Commissioner Coleman. iVhilo on his way back to his home in West Twenty-sixth street FJemor rushed up to him in the park and accused him ol the robbery. " 1 believed Wallace's story. The lirst Lliing 1 did was lo call on Kleiner and ask liim N\hat grounds ho had for believing that Wallace robbed him. He informed me that Wallace was the only person he saw when he wolco up. i" asked him if he hadn't been drinking , llo saiil lie had , but lie wasn't drunk and coulil walk. 1 asked him if he knew who robbed him. He said Hint he thought it was Wallace , but was not sure. I asked him if that was the testi mony ho intended lo give at the trial , and 'he said yes , that he couldn't give any other testimony , lie also s.iid that ' lie' would not have hail \ \ allnco ane-ded if ho hailn't blrtiek him whim accused of the robbery. "This was what Kleiner told mo before the trial. At the trial , lumovor.ho swore positively tiint Wallace robbed him. Ho Mvoro that lie wab hold down by two men. J called again upon Kleiner imme diately after the trial and asked him why he had sworn emphatically that Wallace robbed him , when ho had previou-dv told me that ho wus not .sure , lie said tliat it was because his fiiends had told him that he must 'railroad' this man that's the word ho used -otherwise ho would bo prosecuted lor civil damages for fals-o imprihomnciil , and his business would be de-.tro.yed. "Kleiner not long rtgo swore lo an afli- dait which is now in the hands of Gov ernor Hill , supporting an application for the pardon of Wallace on the ground of innocence. In this document Kleiner swears that since the trial \ValIaeo ho has stillered agony of mind and-con- science owing to the fact that ho believes ho > vns mistaken in the evidence ho gave at the trial. Ho declares that at the time ot the trial he was under nntluo excite ment , owing to the talk and influence of hib trieniLs. In conclusion ho bwcars that .he does not think Wallace is the man who robbed him , and prays the governor to release Wallace , as ho fears ho has bout an innocent man to prison.1 This , alter so many weary years , in a convict's cell. Mr. Winch say.s that he had a loujr per sonal interview with Governor Hill , and laid nil the facts in tlio case before him. The governor promised to make a most careful investigation. Ho has written to Mr. Winch , baying that the delay in coin ing to a decision is duo to the fact that the ground alleged for the pardon i.s the the innocence of the convict , which makes a verv thorough examination ucc- osiary. In the meantime Wallace is in his striped Milt , helpless to do anything butsullbr and wail tor justice lo como to him. Mr. Winch bays that he feels sure the governor will grant the pardon. His own interest in the case is purely that of a citi/.o' ! whoso sympathy has been aroused. Ho ha ! } worked steadily to see that justice was done the victim over slnco the trial , but it took him a long time to get Kleiner to acknowledge the facts ho had .sworn to. Cnpt. . .Joc'Vnuonnco. . " .fust before Ouster made his famous Wichita campaign against the redskins , " savtt Capt. iloo Smilli of Kansas , " 1 was hunting and trapping on the Cimmaron river , on the line ol the Indian Territory. Theio were three of us , my partner * be ing named Hank White and Ltnv Itunson , respectively , and brave , good men they were. Wo wore about ready to pack up and get out of the hunting grounds when While accidentally hrcd a bullet into hi.s hip , and we found our.-.olvcs forced to lie close until ho could walk. .It was a severe but not a dangerous wound , and it was likely that in about a fortnight l.o would bo able to move. The Indians hail not bothered us any to .speak ot up to this time ; but now , as if to add to the per plexities of our .situation , the devils .suomed to be over-running the neighbor hood , Wo had a camp \\hieii was well nigh impregnable to attack , and the cowards contented themselves with lurk ing about ami seeking to cut ono or the other of us oil without exposing them- bolvcs. I was hred upon twice in oiui day , ami next day Henson got a bullet through his cap. " \ \ Idle wo had ceased trapping ono of us must do more or less hunting to .sup- plj the camp , and only one could go out al a time. White wa.i little moro than helpless , and we dared not luavo him alone His wound was rapidly improv ing at tlio end of ten days , and wo were feeling sanguine that ho could use his leg in another ten , when 1 went out one morning after meat. Game had become ahy and scarce in our immediate vicinity and I madu a jaunt of about six miles np the river to roach some wooded bottom lands. It was mid afternoon before I re turned. having the hindimarters- a docA and a line turkey. I toot ; the usual pre cautions when approaching camp , but met \\ith no alarm until 1 entered it. Then I found N hltc dca I nnd scalped , and brutally disligurcd. Benson missing nnd all our traps and peltries nnd other propertv gone. The In-l-ans had been there 1 wlis so taken aback that it was some minutes before I could act. Then I went out to scour for their trail and seek evidence as to whether Benson had been carried oil'or murdered. I was circling about the place when I heard a voice faintly calling , nnd en tered a thicket about eighty rods from camp , to lind Benson lying on the ground in his blood ; ho had been wounded in throe places. lie was hardly better than a dead man , and it was in whispers that lie lold mo the story. I had been gone about two hours , and ho had started for the river to get some water , when ho was fired upon and six Indians dashed at him. lleiison had a Hcnrvrille in Ids hand , and ho treed and returnedjlie lire , killing one of the Indians. They were between him and the camp and \\hilo two of them held him at bay , the other three went in and killed White and packed up the property. Ken- son could not expose hinmolf , nor could ho pursue when they drew oil' . Had they hungered for his life they could easily ha\'o taken it , but they seemed sitisllcd will , what they had accomplished. ' 1 ho man didn't live an hour after relating the particulars , and 1 went down on my knees by his dead body and swore to re venge my comrades. "A month later twenty men of us pioneers , huntcr.s , Indian fighters and scouts , banded together to hustle a band of iivo or six redskins who had captured and run oll'somo horses from a couple of ranches lying between tha'south fork of the Plntlu and the norlh fork of the Nlo- urara rivers. They had a fullelay'ssUirt , but their captured animals were obstinate and unruly , anil they made but slow pro gress. 1 had been clecled captain of the band , ami about sundown of the first day , knowing pretty well the route thu In- elians must take for Ilio next two , I called in some of the oldest scouts for a consul tation. The result was that wo planned a short cut , and rode all night and until noon next day to make sure work of It. Then one took a position in a dry run bordering the edge of a narrow valley through which the Indians were expected" , nnd every man saw that his lirearms were in older. Wo had over two hours to arrange the details , and when Hie sav ages Dually appeared in .sight wo were cratilied lo discover that the band wo had lirst pursued had been strengthened alongtho route by others. There were now thirteen red skins. We wore stationed along the run about four foot apart , anil ituas under stood that not a shot was to bo lired until the head of the band was fairly abreast of the head of our line. It seemed too bail that there were not just thirty In dians , so as lo gl\o us man for man , but that was a matter we couldn't improve on. on."They came into the yalloy without the slightest suspicion of our presence. The herd wus driving bettor , causing no trouble , and some of the Indians seemed to bo asleep as they jocged along. Ab they rodoin close order their line eiid not exceed ours in length and every ono was a fair target as we got tl-o signal and lired upon them. Nine of them keeled oil' their .saddles as dead as bricks , while the other four wore wounded and wore despatched by .second shots Not one of them wasalivo two minutes afler thu lirst trigger was pulled , and. as J rolled the body of the leader under my foot , I foil that poor White and Benson might sleep boiler in their lonely graves.
