Two Now City
The city fathers evidently believe in
having the city's buildings as handsome
and stylish as any private individual's ,
and the result is shown in the new lire
building on Broadway , and the patrol
house on Byrant street can not but bo
batisfactory to them and creditable to
the city. The fronts of each are of
pressed brick and are very neat and
tasty in design. The trimmings are of
granite , white at the patrol building.
and brown at the lire house. Windows
of colored glass in pleasing patterns
give a tasty appearance and finish to
the whole that is not exceeded by any
business house in the city. The interior
of these buildings are to bo strictly in
keeping with the outside. When fully
completed they will bo unexcelled for
comfort and convenience , and a full des
cription of their appointments will be
given in the Bui : . The work at the
patrol house is now sufliciently ad
vanced for the wagon and hor.-es
to bo kept there and they
will bo changed to their now quarters
to-day. The driver's apartment will bo
completed and the police alarm moved
there from the city jail , about the last
of the week. The now extension truck
and horses are already stationed in the
Broadway building , and the boys arc
joyfully anticipating a removal from
their present uncomfortable quarters in
a Pierce street barn to the same place.
The Pierce street approach to the now
building was graded yesterday , and
docs away with having to back the
truck to itb place. All the exterior
work is now completed and the btatc of
the weather can not prevent a speedy
completion of what now remains to bo
done.
Better service to the city by its police
and lire departments , and a better show
ing in the outside world , will be the re
sult of the city's liberality in this re
spect. _ _

Sunday afternoon the police wore no
tified by the Omaha authorities to look
out for Joe Martin , who had stolen $12(1 (
in cash and some jewelry from No. 211
Twelfth litrcot , where ho was engaged
as porter. _ As the "coppers" had not
made an arrest for two days they did
look out for him with a vengeance , and
found him at the Rock Island depot
with a ticket for DCS Moines , about tc
board the train. In answer to Marshal
Guanella's inquiries , ho said his name
was Martin , and ho was from Lincoln.
Ho did not want to tell his first name.
but finally said it was Joe. "All right ;
Joe , got off , " siiid bo genial guardian oi
the peace , and the pair proceeded to the
police station , where the gentle Joseph
acknowledged that ho was an ox-portei
from Omaha. An oflicer from that side
of the river came over for him yester
day morning and marched him away tf
the inspiriting strains of "Not for Joe'
from "Jerry's" jowsharp.

Tried For Selling Arum.
The case of the State vs Joseph Riohc
for selling firearms to minors was triec
before Justice Barnett yesterday morn
ing. The evidence showed that the defendant
fondant was in the employ of M. A
Pierce , and had been often cautionei
against selling arms to boys ; that hi
had , contrary to these instructions , soli
revolvers to Frank McKesson , Hour' '
Dcotkin , Albert Van Danburgand Cliii
ton White. Practically no defense wa
made and Rlche was fined $25 in cael
case , f 100 in till , which he paid. Tin
case aguiuet Pierce was continued fo
thirty days. Upon this showing ami
the evidence existing , final acquittal is
expected. The punishment may fall
heavily on Rlcho , but the violation of
law could not bo overlooked. If the
example made in this instance prevents
a repetition by others , tho. parents of
this city will rejoice.

Fright fill .loiirni- ! Trough the Swamps
of Arkansas.
Chicago Times : Nita and I crossed
the river on a steamboat going to Mound
CMly. We left the boat at Wade's Land
ing and .struck out westward for the
Blaekfish. Tlio distance from Mound
City to Little Itoulc is about 100 miles ,
of which more than 1-5 is through
Mvamps. After leaving Mound City the
road as far as the Blacldish was broad ,
smooth and level , and in nowise indica
tive of the character of the road yet to
be traveled. Half a mile from our start
ing point the road entered the swamp.
% Tita's hoof disappeared below the water ,
nil in all that day I did not see them
gain. It was the wierdest , strangest
ido I have over taken , and many a
housand miles have I covered in
licso many years on horseback
.nil in many climes. Great eol-
mnar trees grow straight up , shooi
ng ambitiously skyward , seeking the
[ onerous sunlight. Shaft after shaft ,
opeated endlessly as far as the eye
ould reach , those gray , moss-grown
lillars crowded with overhead the great ,
hick overshadowing arch of foliage
hutting out the sunlight. Between
hem ran interminable corridors filled
vith strange palpable .shadows of
vondcrful tones' , below and everywhere
ho wild swamp water. Not like other
vater is this , but alive with a mystori-
jtis life of its own. Brown is it ovory-
vhero , from the sombre , almost blaek-
irown of the deepest shadow , through
jvery shade of rich , light-bearing gold
n-own toaglowing , vivid , indescribable ,
iiivoring jewel , where a stray sunshaft
jiorccs the solemn aisles like a javelin
lurled and stirs the bewitched water to
nilsating life. Through the hoary ,
ilcnt years millions upon millions of
lead brown leaves have come
ustling , floating down to the arid water
) clew , and beneath its shimmering sur-
ace they lie , a soft , rich carpet.
Strange forms of life within those waters
"urk. Great monstrous frogs would
ilungo from some green decaying
itump that shone like an immense em
erald in the dim shadow and with a vig-
irous , slow stroke swim out of sight.
Slim spotted snakes , with bitter , malig-
mnt , metallic eyes and strident hiss ,
ilid away into the dense tangled water
veeds. Hideous lizards , horrid de-
'ormed monsters , writhed or wriggled
.heir misshapen ugliness through the
sullen water , or mayhap of brilliant
green or startling vivid crimson ,
darted away among the long
swinging vines. Strange water in
sects , too , there were. And every
tree was covered with huge clumps of
moss , and orchids , and strange para
sites , and long tangles of gray moss , and
long , sinuous vines that swept down ,
bla/.ing with rare , wiercd , brilliant
llowors to the weirder water plants
below. No bird's clear note cheered
these solitudes ; no bird was there , wiyd
in a ruined tall trco stump , clothed in
rich garments of vines and of moss ,
thpro sat a huge horned owl , staring
with yellow eyes across the brown deso
lation. And this was the strangest
thing ; how brown the green of the
leaves and even the vivid scarlet of
li/ard or llowers seemed to be the very
air was golden brown.
The wind sobbed and moaned dismally
through the twistedsullen treesthe , road
grew more and more obscure , and at
last I halted , with a horrible doubt
growing fast into belief in my mind
that wo had lost the trail. I brought
Nita to a halt and anxiously peered into
the growing darkness. The wind grew
liercer and blew angrily , great pelting
drops1 of rain began to fall , the thun
der muttered in the distance , and Nita
was trembling in every limb , so I
pushed forward in what I judged to bo
the right direction , cursing my folly at
not having taken the good counsel prof-
ferred me , . Nearer and nearer came the
storm. At length I found myself on the
brink of a pool larger , blacker , moro
hideous than any 1 had seen.
Low , straggling trees surrounded it ,
with gnarled roots high in the air , like
writhing water serpents , and lank
boughs outstretched. After tunomont's
hesitation Nita ventured in. Deep
sank her hoofs in the hideous mud , and
the black , foul water crept up her sides.
Suddenly there was a scream in the air ,
a wild rush of the mad wind , an intense
blinding gluro , the awful report of some
huge trees near by stricken by the liroy
lightning. Nita fairly shrieked in her
terror , plunged wildly , losing her foot
ing , and ilung mo _ from her back. I
struck against the limbs of a low tree ,
and grasped it instinctly , and looked
around quickly for Nita. She was gone.
I stood there in that hideous pool , try
ing to realize my position. Then I
thought I would work my way to the
tree and climb into the branches and
whistle Nita to mo when the fury of the
storm should pass. What was my horror
ror when I found my feet ( Irmly fixed in
the slimy , tenacious mud. I could
throw my arms over the low bough I
hold , anil I did so , putting forth my
every exertion in a vain endeavor to
free myself. Meanwhile the storm was
raging in all its fury. The wind
howled and shrieked through the trees
as though a million demons were lot
loose , the thunder crashed unceasingly ,
and the lightning in awful Hashes
over nnd anon lit up the dark
ness. The rain fell in- torrents and
drenched to the skin , I gave myself uji
for lost unless the storm should soon
pass , when , if I couAl till then hold on ,
I might got Nita back , and holding fast
to her , bo drawn from the quagmtro in
which I stood. That I might husband
my strength , I succeeded alter much
effort in loosening from fnyValst a broad
leather belt , and , passing it under un
arms , lashed myself thereby to the limb
to which I clung. The liours passed ,
and yet the storm seemed but to increase
in fury. I
Suddenly I realised that I was sink
ing deeper in the water , and yet that
was impjssible , lashed as I was to the
stout limb. Soon 1 understood n.v awful
position. The water wan rislng'l The
realization of the awful doom that
threatened me chilled my heart' : * blood.
Cold beads of perspiration broke out
upon my clammy forehead , and I
shrieked aloud in agony. Slowly I could
feel the water creeping upward. Fran
tically I struggled to free myself from
the close-clinging mud that held my
feet and legs as if in a vise. Fortun
ately It was that I had lashed myself
fast , for at length I must have fainted.
How long I lay , or rather hung , there
unconscious 1 do not know , but hours
must have passed , for tlio storm had
ceased , great murky , ragged clouds
were flying across the angry sky , and
the water I gasped in horror ; it was at
my breast , and rising visibly now. The
slow hours were by , and' the sullen
water crept ever up , greedy , hideous.
And a stolid calm came over me , and all
umindful of the growing light that her
alded the birth of a new day , 1 kept a
dull gaze upon the rise of the water as
it crept from thrend to thread on my
garments. It reached my neck , and before -
fore my strained , blood-shot eyes it
quivered and shone like a resistless sea
of steel. Higher , higher , and a last de
spairing shriek burst from my lips ,
liarlcl What was that ? And the water
approaches my lips ! Another shriek !
And an answer ! A horse's whinny
listen ! "Hole on dar , bo-s , I'so com
ing ! " A vision of a great negro on
Nita's back , and again I lost conscious
ness.
When I again awoke I was in a com-
fartable bed in Dos Arc , weak from the
long delirium and fever that followed
that night of horror. It seems that
Nita , once free , galloped back to Cache
river , there to meet the negro who had
been sent after mo by my anxious host
of the afternoon. Thanks to Nita's
fidelity and the negro's knowledge of-
the swamps , 1 live to-day to tell the
tale.
