UcorgoIInll , the Injured Night Watchman - man , at Death's Door. South Omaha was rife with rumors yesterday concerning the assault that had bcun made on Sunday night or early Monday morning upon George Hall , the night watchman at Hammond liros1. packing housu. One report was to the effect that Hall's assail ants were parties who had a scheme on foot to blow up the packing house for an alleged grievance against some of the managers. Another report was that the as sailants took advantage of an oppor tunity to get even with Hall , the injured man , for his part in some past trouble. It was also reported that Hall had re covered consciousness and staled that Mike Ritchie , the South Omaha pugilist , was the man who had assaulted him. All these reports lacked confirmation except the last. On the strength of. this Ritchie was arrcsti-d by Deputy Sheriff Walker and placed in the county jail. Ho refused to talk upon the matter and claimeel that lie elid not know why ho hnu been ar rested.

[ Corrcspon- elence of tlio 15iu. : ] Another now swindle is being successfully worked on llio farm ers of Ihis and Jackson counties. Two rogues watcli the newspapers for astray notices , when ono of them goe.s and looks at the animal. Of course upon applica tion the unsuspecting granger shows up the animal and thu fellow decides it is not his animal , and then hu returns to his partner and immediately describes the animal. No , 3 then goes to tiio fiirmor.and after proving by thorough de scription that he H the owner of the ani mal , says ho cannot take it away , and oilers to sell it at a fair bargain. The farmer buys , and in a fowdaystho owner comes along and claims thu animal and of course the farmer is out just what he paid the rogues for the same. This has been worked successfully in this ( Jones ) county on several farmers. The Jones county Farmers' Institute has boon in session at Wyoming for the last Ihreo days and proved to be > a very profitable meeting.
