Timid young men who have girls down In
the Fourth ward will ilo well to leave for

girls with some braver fellow until Officer
Autrcy Is transferred to some other beat ,
( or he seems bent on exterminating them.
'A ' young man named Patterson was returning
home along Fifth avenue at 3:30 : o'clock yes
terday morning from a party at L. O. Wil
liams' residence In the country :
At the corner of Tenth street he was met
by Onicer Autrcy and the liayllss park spe-
clal policeman , and Autrey asked hltn where
lie was going. Ho replied that he was look
ing for a doctor and commenced edging
away. Autrcy called to him to stop , but Pat-
tenon broke Into a run , the officer following
him with 'a couple of shots from tha same
revolver which did euch valiant service a few
nights ago. The shooting so terrified Patter-
eon that ho rushed In between two houses
nnd secreted himself In a woodshed. Autrcy
felt a little delicate about going In after him
nnd called to OfilccrsVelr and Coualnn , and
the thrco then madu a search. Ho was finally
found , crouched down Into as little space as
jiosulble , and pulled out feet foremost for an
explanation. He told about the party nnd
Explained his actions satisfactorily to tha of
ficers , who let him go.
During the morning Patterson went back
to the house v/hero he had hidden and picked
up a revolver , which ho had secreted there.
When aslml for his reason for dropping the
weapon , ho said he didn't want the officers ,
if "they were officers , to find him with the
gun In his possession , for fear they would ar
rest him for carrying concealed weapons.
"Didn't you see the olllcers' uniforms ? "
Bomo one asked him.
"No , " was the reply. "I was so badly
frightened that I didn't know whether they
had on policemen's uniforms or white night
Bhlrts. "

Emancipation Duy Olulmitlon.
The celebration of emancipation day at
Omaha park possessed onu rather unique
feature yesterday afternoon. It was under
the auspices of the African Methodist church ,
nnd a program of addresses was rendered
In one part of the grounds , whllo a little
way off sat the larger part of the audience
nt tables eating watermelons. Colonel D.
D. Dalloy , Rev. George Muller and Dr. M.
O. Rlcketts of Omaha were the speechmakers -
makers of the occasion. Mr. Muller made a
speech on his time honored subject of In
dustrial slavery , telling how the working
classes wcro ground down under the heel
of corporate tyranny. It was strongly tinc
tured with socialism , and covered the same
ground as the gentleman has been cover
ing at his populist meetings for several
weeks past.
At the close of his remarks Dr. Rlcketts
rose to make a roply. "Industrial slavery , "
eald he , "has nothing to do with the
slavery of the colored race , and this Is not
the tlmo nor place for a speech of the kind
that has just been made. The colored man
has no part In the warfare between labor
and capital. I thank God that the consti
tution of the American Railway union pro
hibits colored men from Its membership
rolls. Our race Is not composed of men
who belong to labor unions and feels no
interest In strikes nnd lockouts. " The
epecch was delivered In a way that left no
doubt that It was Intended as a roast for
Muller , and It created quite an Impression.
In his speech Colonel Dalloy made some
Interesting remarks on the appropriateness
of a church plcnlo having beer to drink , , but
they did not seem to have any appreciable
effect on the enjoyment of the colored people
ple at whom they were aimed. In the evenIng -
Ing there was a big dance , at which fire
works and flro water vied with one another
In their attempts to please the audience.
General James B. Weaver was expected
to bo present and make a bid for votes , but
for some reason or other he failed to ma
terialize.

That a single man could capture a regiment
nnd take away Its colors without assistance
from any one would at first glance seem
nbsurd , but Colonel D. B , Dnllcy of Council
Bluffs bears the distinction of having per
formed such a coup d1 ctnt during the late
war. and the circumstances are related In
nn exceedingly well written article In the
August number of McClure's Mngazlno by
Captain T. J. Mackcy. As the article stands ,
however. It robs Colonel Dallcy of nil the
credit which naturally belongs to the man
who performed "The Bravest Deed of the
War , " as the headline of the article calls It ,
nnd gives It to one James Bailey , who has
never heretofore b5en heard of In these parts.
It was In the month of August , 1801 , when
the union forces wcro encamped around
Petersburg , Vn. , undercoinmand of General
Grant , preparing to sweep down upoa the
confederates under General Lee and wipe
them out of existence. By command of
General Leo the conlllct was brought to n
focus by n general attack upon the. union
forces behind their Intrenchmcnts. General
Johnston Hagood was. In command of the
southern troops , which were usslcned to the
right of the attack. In the engagement that
ensued the Issues were decidedly against the
southern troops.
The union forces were protected by almost
Impregnable Intrcnchmcnts , la front of which
was a deep ditch half full cf water. The
confederates nude a gallant attack , rushing
on the Intrcnchmcnts with nn enthusiasm
born of despair. General Hagood's eye could
see that an assault under such circumstances
wss hopeless and again and again he gave
the command to halt , but the crash and
rattle of fifteen pieces of art llery nnd 2,000
rifles , all at close range , drowned the sound
of his voice. Ills men kept on their way
toward the parapet without breaking their
alignment , determined to carry their posi
tion.
Seeing his men bound to destruction and
knowing that he was unable to stop them ,
General Hagocd determined to brave death
w.tli them. Success was their only hope of
safety , and he was urging his army en to
the attack as energetically as a few minutes
before ho had been trying to call them back
from annihilation , when a strange thing took
place. The following Is an extract from
General Hagood's memoirs of the battle of
Weldon Road :
"General Hagood was with Major Wilds ,
who was cheering his men on to a renewed
assault , when , looking to the right , he saw
a mounted federal officer among his men
With a regimental color In his hands and
a confusion nnd parleying around htm that
betokened approaching surrender. The fight
was still raging at Hagod's right and left ;
there was no cessation on our part except In
the squad Just around this officer , and none
whatever that was prcceptlble on the part
of the enemy. They had pushed out from
the right nnd left a line behind
us to cut off our retreat and
this officer ( Captain Dallcy of General Cut
ter's staff ) hud galloped out of a sally port ,
seized n color from the hands of Its bear
er , and demanded n surrender.
"Somo officers nnd men surrendered , but
were not carried In ; others refused , but
Just around him coated fighting. General
Hagood called to the men to shoot him
nnd fall back In retreat. They either did
not hear him , or , bewildered by the sur
render of part of their number , failed to
obey. It was a critical moment and de
manded Instant nnd decided notion. In , a
few minutes the disposition to surrender
would have spread and the whole brigade
have been lost.
"Making his way across the Intervening
space as speedily ns ho could , exposed tea -
a regular fire by file from the enemy's line
scarcely thirty yards off , and calling to
his men to fall back , which they did not
do , General Hagood approached the onicer
and demanded the colors , and that ho should
go back within his own lines , telling him
he was free to do so. Ho commenced argu
ing the hopelessness of further struggle , and
pointed out the line in our rear. Hagood
cut him short and demanded a categorical
reply yes or no. Dalley was a man of
fine presence , with long , flowing beard , and
sat with loosened rein upon a noble lookIng -
Ing bay that stood with head and tall erect
and flashing eye tincl distended ( nostrils ,
quivering In every limb with excitement ,
but not moving In his tracks. In reply to
this abrupt demand the rider raised his
head proudly , and decisively answered no !
Upon the word General Hagood shot htm
through the body , and as he reeled from
the saddle on one side , sprang Into It from
the other , Orderly Stoney seizing the flag
from his falling hands.
"There was no thought of surrender now ;
the yell from the brigade following the
act and ringing out above the noise of
battle told their commander that they were
once more In hand , and would go now where-
over ordered whether to the front or rear ,
Shouting to them to face about , Hagood
led them at a run against the line in his
rear , Sloney holding aloft In the front the
captured flag , which ho had torn from the
staff. This line melted before our charge ;
but the fire was terrific , after breaking
through It , until the shelter of the valley of
the branch was reached. This ended the
fighting for the possession of Weldon Road.
The confederate losses had been very In
significant until today , and now It was con
fined principally to our brigade. Grant had
lost B.OOO men , but ho had the road. "
After the storm of battle had subsided the
bodies were cleared awsy , and that of the gal
lant young captain who had played so con
spicuous a part In the day's drama was re
moved to the field hospital. For days and
weeks ho lingered between lifo and death ,
spending two days In the field hospital and
two weeks In the City Point hospital , after
which ho was removed to a hospltnl In Phil
adelphia , rhcio he remained until four
months from the time ho had received his
bullet wound , when ho wns pronounced well
enough to go back to the field of battle. -
Fifteen years later General Hagood learned
for the first time that the bullet he had sent
through the. body of the man who had dared
cail upon a regiment of South Carolinians to
surrender , had not proved fatal. This hap-
puncd through a letter he received from
Colonel Dalley , as ho Is now known , describ
ing the circumstances attending their un
pleasant meeting at Weldon road so long be
fore , and requesting him to certify that the
wound from which ho had been suffering
through all the years that Intervened had
been sustained while In the discharge of his
duty. This loiter was written August 1 , 1879 ,
and wns answered ten days later. General
Hngood sent tha certificates asked for , and
In the course of his letter said ; "Your act
was the bravest that I have ever known or
read of In military annals. Nor was It an
act of mere Inconsiderate rashness , for , In
my deliberate Judgment , had I not Inter
posed as I did , my entire brigade of veter
ans might have surrendered to your single
arm. "
What purports to be n copy of the letter
written by Colonel Dalley to the general Is
printed In full In the magazine article al
ready referred to , but It ! tt grossly Inaccurate
In several particulars. Its date Is some five
months later than It should be , It bears the
signature of James Bailey Instead of D. B.
Dalley , and the lattor's title Is given as "Lato
Captain , Fourth Iowa Volunteer Infantry , "
Instead of "Lato Lieutenant Colonel , Sixth
Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry , " as It should
be.
be.As
As a matter of fact , there was not an
Iowa regiment In the Army of the Potomac
when It fought at Weldon Road August 21 ,
1SCI. so that the title of "captain of the
Fourth Iowa volunteers" , which Is accorded
Bailey , Is a mistake on Us face.
When the magazine article first appeared
a few days ago Colonel J. H. Ktatley , superIntendent -
Intendent of the Soldiers' home at Marshall-
town and an Intimate friend of Colonel
Dalloy , called his attention to It and asked
him for the necessary data In order that he
might correct the wrong Impressions to which
It would glvo rise. The fact that It was
Dalley and no one. else who took part In tha
sensational affair U attested by numerous
historical works on the civil war , among
others Mooro'n Rebellion Record , which Is
In ( he public llbr.irri f'itllltnry Operations ol
General Ilcnurcgarai" by Alfred Roman , ami
In the official rcporfa ff'lioth ' General Hagood
of the confederate Hfiuj * ' and General Warren
of the unlo.n. L. '
It was nt first mrrocjpd that the magazine
article was written with n view to robbing
Colonel Dallcy of .virne * of the honor ho has
been frequently auprdiil for his part In tl.o
affair. A little mor/j Investigation , however ,
shows that I ho letjrr.ln which the Credit
of the capture of the flag Is taken by James
Bailey must have been cornpoied by Captain
Mickey from memory , for If he had- had the
original manuscript ' before hltn the mistakes
could not have occurred.
It Is only Justice' to Colonel Dalloy to set
right the magazine wtl'cr , for all who arc
familiar with the history of the great re
bellion must admit that the spectacle of ono
man rushing out and overpowering n whole
regiment , taking their colors away from them
| by a sheer exhibition of what In these later
1 days would be called "nerve , " Is a unique
1 one , Whether It be considered nn unneces
sary risk of life or not , ono cannot help
admiring the dauntless courage of the man
who undertook to put down the rebellion
I with ono stroke and that n slngleOianded
one. The longer false reports arc allowed to
go uncorroc cd the more likely It Is thnt
future generations will credit the deed to
some other than he who deserves the credit ,
nnd no one wishes to tee a man who has
always been n fighter , both In the forum nnd
on the field , robbed of his Just dues.

Docking the Mnrrlrd Men.
A change has been made in the offices of
the Omaha & St. Louis railway In this city ,
which does not at all suit some of the em
ployes. Beginning with the 1st of the month
three of the clerks were put on half time
and the rest allowed to work full time. As
It happens , the three men who were cut
down are married and the rest are single.
The cause for the move was said to be that
the road was not on a paying basis and
retrenchment was necessary.
"As for the road not being on a paying
basis , " said one of the three married men
whoso Income was cut down to $35 per month
In conversation with a Bee reporter , "there
are other places -whe/o the retrenchment
process might be commenced. For Instance ,
there Is the office of receiver. He gets
$7,000 per annum , besides $780 for the hire
of a stenographer , for doing exactly the
same work that Frank Gault , as general
manager , used to get$3,000 for , without
any stenographer. I have Just as much work
to do as I had before the cut was made , and
the only difference' Is yiat I can't do it all
In half time and It Ispiling up on me , so
that It I ever get jput back to full time I'll
have to work overtime In order to catch up. "

The United States of America fell down
yesterday when it came to proving that
Peter Stromsburg , the alleged counterfeiter
from Pigeon postoffice , had passed bad money
knowingly. Ono of the witnesses , W. Pfaft ,
a saloon keeper , was put upon the stand
and It was supposed that he would tell how
Stromsburg took back n counterfeit dollar
that ho had put up for n drink , and as ho
did so said he knew'lt was bad , but merely
wanted to sco If Pfaff would find It out.
When Pfaff gazed on Stromsburg's features
ho Immediately said he had never seen him
before , and no amount of brow-beating could
Induce him to change his mind. The gov
ernment accordingly took a long rest. The
only evidence so far Introduced against the
defendant Is his own admission that he
passed a bad dollar on a liveryman , but 'he
claims ho did not know at the tlmo that
It was bad. The case will come up again
Tuesday morning , when It Is hoped that
the ofilclals will be able to present some
evidence that they have not yet been able
to get hold of.

LEFT A QUARREL BEHIND
Kiny Claimants and Many Claims for the
Estate of the Late Dr Pcnhon ,
LA'AY.RS ' MAY GIT THI MOST OF IT
MM. I.lr/lo Carter Now Claims to limit IU
catered 11 Will Kxouiitrd by tliu Do-
ccimrd Document I'oilnil In Sonio of
the Doctor' * Old Clothe * .
Death Itself docs not seem able to bring
to Dr. P. Wllhclni Poulson that rest to which
every occupant of God's acre Is supposed to
be entitled. His ghost and his property arc
causing the sensational reporters of the Cali
fornia papers to wear themselves out In
hat rivalry to get the latest doings concern
Ing each. Dr. Paulson was for years the
leading homeopathic physician In Councl
Hltiffs , but his skill bccamo hampered by his
psyclcal vagaries , and these eccentricities
were strangely and strongly developed by a
sojourn In California , where he bccamo known
as "Count Peter W. Paulson , " and his rcsl
deuce as "Castle Peterhoff. " The Bcnsa
tlonal Incidents of his return to Councl
IIluffs and his sudden death arc still frcsl
In the minds of The Dec readers. Mrs. Car
ter , who made her debut before the Councl
Illuffs public In a rather hysterical manner
at the timeof tlmdpctor's death was a hln
at further mysterious chapters In lis [ cventfu
life. Some of these chapters ore now to bo
read In the probate court at Oakland , Cal.
where the squabble over the doctor's cstato
has just begun.
Mrs. Alice Poulson , the young widow
has filed application for letters of adminis
tration. This application Is the chief bone
of contention , and there will bo little meat
left upon It by the time all the hungry con
testants have got through tussling over It.
Mrs. Poulson claims the Castle PcterhofI as
her seperate property , having been deeded
to her by her husband , and shu declines to
list It with the estate , s-o that It will be out
of the reach of the creditors. It Is clalmeil
that the "Count" also deeded the property
to his son , Hyrum Poulson , who lives In
Council Bluffs. The young man Is said to
have deeded the property In turn to Judge
S. P. Van Atta of Council Bluffs , his at
torney. There arc now In all five lawyers
who have liens on the estate , and three per
sons claim title to It.
The doctor also owned a farm near Coun
cil Illuffs , and was possessed of other prop
erty , so that the estate reaches Into the
thousands of dollars. The five lawyers who
have attended to the doctor's complicated
matters claim Hens amounting In all to about
$12,000 , with more to hear from.
The latest sensational development Is the
claim of Mrs. Lizzie Carter that she .has
found the last will and testament of
Dr. Poulson , and that she Intends
to file It for probate. It Is said
Mrs. Poulson gave the doctor's old clothes
to her stepson , Hyrum Poulson , and In this
way Mrs. Carter got possession of an old
vest. In this she found the mysterious will
written on silk. This will she claims Is
accompanied by the statement that Mrs.
Poulson murdered her husband. Mrs. Carter
seems hysterical on this subject , and when
In Council Bluffs she Insisted on a cor
oner's Inquest , and the arrest of Mrs. Poul
son , and now she claims to have fortified
her case by numerous consultations held
with the doctor's ghost. Mrs. Carter says
the doctor's ghoslt has promised to material
ize and appear In court against the widow
in order to convict her. To all charges
Mrs. Poulson gives strong denial , except
: hat she did give away some of the late
amentcd's old clothes. Her only fear Is
.hat Mrs. Carter will try to shoot her , and
.he castle has consequently been duly fortl-
led. It Is said both women go armed , and
a collision Is watched for with morbid curi
osity by all knowing the facts. Some of
the attorneys are also said to be the recipi
ents of threatening letters from Mrs. Carter
Attorney Allen , on behalf of Hyrum J.
Poulson of Council Bluffs , has filed a formal
protest to the "granting " of letters of admln-
stratlon to the widow. He asserts that Dr.
1'oulson died In the county of Pottawattumle ,
Iowa , and that he was a resident of that
place. Alice Poulson was appointed admin
istratrix of his estate In that county , but In
the course of time she was removed by the
court and Nathan C. Phillips was chosen for
the place and Is now acting. A copy of the
order removing her from offlce was served on
Mrs. Poulson In Alameda county and she
was directed to turn over to W. W. Allen all
papers and money In her possession belong
ing to the estate. Mrs. Poulson refused to
obey the order of the court.
The contestant alleges that on July 7 , 1894 ,
Mrs. Poulson had placed on record in Ala
meda county a paper purporting to be a deed
to her of Pcterhoff. The contestant then
says :
That during her term as administratrix In
Iowa , Mrs. Poulson concealed all money , pa-
pera and property from the heirs of the es
tate , and has failed to make any accounting
to the court of her trust. That all she ac
complished , so far as can bo ascertained
from the record In the case , was to obtain
possession of all the money , papers , personal
property , etc. , belonging to the estate , and
to abscond from the state of Iowa and from
her trust beyond the jurisdiction of the
court , and to conceal from the knowledge of
the court and from the heirs Interested all
the money , books , etc. , and to use and con
vert the same to her own use , and to thereby
defraud the estate and those Interested therein
out of the same.
It Is asserted by the contestant that
Nathan Phillips Is entitled to letters of ad
ministration on the estate , and that he Is
now preparing a petition to bo filed In Judge
Ellsworth's court. The contestant therefore
asks the court that the petition of Mrs.
Poulson bo denied and that she be required
to turn over to the proper party all the
money and documents In her possession be
longing to the estate of the late Count
Poulson.
Mrs. Boulon was an Intimate friend of
Count Poulson and she- was also the fast
friend of Mrs. Lizzie Carter. She was a
member of the mysterious societies organ
ized by the count , and recently hired a
house near Peterhof BO that she could bo
near the old home. In fact , Mrs. Poulson
now says that Mrs. lloulon desires to get
a liouso adjoining her gate , so that Peter
hof can bo watched. Mrs. Boulon says
that Dr. Poulson knew that he was going
to meet his death , because It had been
predicted. In a document just Issued by
her concerning the Poulson case , she says :
About four years ago Hfchard Smith re
ceived his call as prelate to the first council
'Of the Black Cross In Oakland. This aged
maji'B eight was Immediately opened as
Paul's was opened , and with other revela
tions ho set forth the death of Dr. Pout
son by a dltcordnnt marriage and
conjured Dr. Poulson to change his
domestic relations or death would be tlvi
result. The doctor seemed too weak to sep
arate , fearing publicity , and the aged prophet
and seer conjured the brothers to assemble ,
bovcn In number and seven evenings In
succession , and on the seventh night take
the sacrament , and that God had declared
through him that the walls of Satan should
be broken down and their leader , Dr. Poul-
Hon , should bo set free.
Alas , some of the messengers got In a
tanclo with their own wives , and , like In
olden times , some had Just married a wife ,
while others would upbraid the doctor. Dis
cord went on and Lucifer held sway until
the prison walls utured the great prophet In
the faca and the wicked woman and her
family , with lawyers , had bound him hand
and foot. The aged pilgrim , Itlchard Smith ,
has returned from a long missionary tour
to find the messengers scattered Co and fro
and Dr , Poulson dead.
The same revelator prophesies the return ol
Dr , Poulson by true materialization. He
nays that no mortal has touched the depth
of mystery that has removed Dr. Poulson
from the earth , The doctor will return
again with many more gain's ' and will finish
his mission by giving to the world the secret
of Lucifer's strong hold nn the world and huw
to overcome death and how to bring heaven
down on earth.
I am now beginning to converse freely with
the doctor. Ilia sudden death , BO unexpected
to him , shocked and weakened htm so that
until now I did not try to talk much to him ,
but from this on I may see him every day
until ha becomes materialized and his eyes
no longer blinded by Lucifer. I saw Ulin
