It had been rumored n month ago that the
Dalton pang was contemplating an immcdl-
iite raid upon the banks of the city. At-
rangommiU wary made "to glvo them a warm
reception and ( ' over a WCOK patrol was
maintained nigh ( , and day to ylve warning of
the gang's approai-k. The raid did not take
pluco and then cinno the report from Dom
ing , N. M. . that United States ollicurs hail
had a battle with thu band in tuat territory
and that thrco of thu bandits had Oi-cn killed.
This report was bcliovou hero to huvo been
ilrculatcd : by the Dallons thonuclvos , the in-
tentioi. being being to divert attention from
their real intentions nnd to lull the people of
the town Into n sense of security. The
people- , however , wuro nqt so easily deceived ,
und when Iho report of the disaster to the
pane In New Mexico was denied vigilance
was renowed. Still the uxpeulod raid was
not tiwdu. Finally the patrol was with
drawn last Saturday , although every

C. I' . Hen ] 11 In who has been
Indofatlgnblo In his onduuvors to
frustrate the dcstgus of those righ

rants for the arrest of every man found
working on the big ditch In Sarpy county ,
below Uellovno , which had be''n In course of
surreptitious construction under the super
vision of Wright and Jenkins for three
months or moro.
These writs were placed In the
hands of Deputy Sheriff McCarty
of Sarpy county yesterday morning and
with a pnsso of six ablo-bodlod deputies loft
for the scuno of trouble at 11 o'clock
via of n two-horso livery team nnd
n big lumber wagon , The intention was to
place under arrest every man found working
upon the ditch nnd cart thorn off to jail at
I'apllliou. That n batter undoratandlnz
ot ttio case may bo arrived at
a brief revision of the matter published In
this connection In Tin : BEI : last Sunday is
herewith given.
\Vlnit Thuy Arc Doing. *
As above Intimated the whole affair is
nothing thort of an attampt on tha part of
Wright and Jenkins , aided nnd abetted by
other interested parties probably , to dig nn
immense ditch across the neck or tha big
bend just this side of Bollcvuo , turn the
Mls-souri river through It , cut off 2.SOI ) acres
of Nebraska land and throwf it over into
lown.
The bend at the point at which the land
thloves nave been at work was somewhat
changed by n fronk of the erratic Missouri
over thirty years ago , when a portion of the
original bend was cut oft" and thrown over
Into lown. The change In the river' . ? course ,
however , throw it against the Iowa shore ul
n point Inrihor down stream , ami it has over
since biicn cutting Into urohibltion soil at
that place , and during the quarter uf a cen
tury tlml has intervened since then has
gradually added hundreds of acres of Iowa
land to the Nebraska shore , as if to make up
for the generous slice that it had arbitrarily
coded to Iowa in a bunch sumo time uofoio.
Although the plotters had been at work
over since last Juno in carrying their nefar
ious plans Into effect , so secretly had they
conducted their preliminary operations that
no intimation of what they were about tiad
reached Llio notice of the public , aud it was
only when , emboldened by tbo sucnoss thati
had thus far attended their efforts , they became -
came moro braz < * .n in rushing the work
through to n termination that the property
owners who were about to bo despoiled of
their possessions discovered what was going
on , und at once took summary proceedings to
bring operations to a standstill. At . ' 1:110 :
o'clock last Thursday afternoon Sheriff
Whitney of Sarpy county served the re
straining order Issued by .Indue Scott that
nut a stop to the woric , and now two great
ditches , ono 400 foot long aud the other 150
feel long , seven foot dcwp and live feet wide ,
with great mounds of freshly turned earth
along either side , arc the silent witnesses
of the stupendous steal that live lown
fannurs attempted to perpetrate , but which
will novcr bo carried out.

tlio vicinity und a strong guud put over

They refused to divulge their names , say
ing they bad been hired by the day and
were innocent of any intent to wrong any

of the deep luld plan of Isum Wright and H.

10011 teams could ba soon coming from
every direction laden with chunks of
truight republicanism. H.in tiers , streamers
nnd every emblem of loyalty were
loatlng to every bruezo. The I'altncr Pro-
llgal club and the Palmer Prodigal Radius
club of Palmer , Neb. , were among the tlrn
arrivals. Du'li'Ratlons from nil pu-ts of tlio
county were to bo soon nn ovary hand. The
Shirks Kupubllcin club cxma In phUoons ,
the Chapman delegation with Its largo ban-
icr.s added to the line of march llfly carri
ages , the Midland flub , headed by the
irl/o-wlnnlng Archer band , cnmo ill with n
oug line and Hying colors with C. D. Chap-
nan , the veteran Knight of Uapublli-aulsm ,
mir.Mml for thu club.
The Pralrld Creek delegation was the best
of ovidcnco that the heretofore hotbud of
calamity Is now a paradise of republicanism ,
Aurora's club helped to swell the atlonaauco
ay a largo delegation of veteran republicans
n bright uniforms.
The line of march was formed west of the
city , and with three bra bands the proces
sion came through tha principal streets of
Iho city with masses cheering , banners Heat
ing and bands playing. The procession
marched to the court liouso yard , where ,
after n neat-speech by John I < . Mat tin of
Chapman , and Introductory tiilmio by
Chairman I. S. Lrndalo of the Central City
club , Judge Lorenzo Crounso to jk Iho plat
form amid deafening cheers.
The judge is known hero from the fact that
he was the first Jud o that held court hero
during the pioneer days of Nebraska. After
a tiricf conversation with his nudicnca thu
judga proceeded to pour hot shot into the
enemy. During his remarks ho showed in a
plain , forciolo nnd logical mnnnoi\what pro
tection had done for the farmers ; how the
legislation of Iho republican party had
always boon townid the intoiost , of
the farmer. lie cited tha farmers
to the homestead law , proving to thorn by
undisputed statistics that four llfths of .ho
land now giving forth its abundant yields of
grain wore furnished the farmer fieo by the
republican party. Aided by nn array
of original \\ildrat banknotes ho showed
with powerful elTect what the democratic
party had done to relieve the burdens of the
toiling masses. J'eal after peal of applause
greatcd his words.
As a comparison he cited Van Wy-k's ner
vous prostration when confronted with
cold , hard , Indisputable facts concern
ing his legislative career. Ho showed
now Van Wyck had failed in
every instance to' furnish satisfactory ex
planations as to how ho became possessed of
his landed Interests , how ho could accumu
late hundreds uf thousands while others
tramped mother canh in search of a sub
sistence , how his record in count-ess during
thu nation's darkest days , on the ques
tion of Hat money compared with his doc
trine of today , and how , after a short sojourn
in the various parties , ho had Jlnally found
a solace in the people's independent purtv.
Tha judge's speech was listened to with
the greatest , Interest. It contained volumes
of facts that ho requesUd the ftimcrrs to pay
attention to und think over in their homos.
After the speech Judge Crounsa was
war.mly congratulated by hundreds who
crowded around to shako his bund. In tha
evening the enthusiasm of the uuy was out
done if possible. There was u irrojt torch
light procession , with fireworks and speak
ing by Judge Norris of Ponca.

wus the principal speaker. Ho foicibly con
trasted the growth , development and pros-
purity of the nation under thirty yours of re
publican policy with tl.o j.erind of demo
cratic rule under the Walker tariff ( torn ISKi
to Iblil , then going into an exhaustive dis
cussion of the McKlnluy bill tiio speaker
showed that the necessaries of the people
were not mudo dearer in a sinlo instancis ;
but oy that wise adjustment of the tariff
many articles enteringinlo general cousump
lion were vastly cheaper. Ho showed con
clusively that whllo u tariff for reveuuo only
was a tax paid by the consumer , that the
practical results of Iho proU'ctivo tariff
wisely adjusted bud tlio effect of r.huapuuing
Iho product to thu consumers , i'aklng up
tha independent and democratic platforms ho
demonstrated that under the doctrine
therein promulgaied wo would have Indus
trial and' commercial paralysis , depreciated
and Wbrlhlces curiency and national bank

Taking up the free coinage of tilvor the
speaker showed that there wus Just as much
justice in thu furinor demanding that the
government pay him $1 for lii : cunts worth ol
wheat us thsro'ivns in tbo durnuml of the sll-
vor king for free coinage of silver. Ho ex
pressed great contluunco that the silvnt
question would bo sullied by tha interna

justice to all interests. Air. Meiklojohn
closed with an earnest and elmiuout appeal
to all parties that they study tno platforms
