About 1,000 of the good people of Des
Molncs came to Omaha yesterday morning to
see the exposition. Five hundred of them
occupied eight coachci of n special train on
the Rock Island road and made scheduled
time between the two cities , which Is In-
tcrpreted by the visitors to mean that they
cannot bo lost In the wild chase through
life , whether it be on a train or in the
pursuits ot pleasure. The others came in
on the regular trains. They had evidently
hoard of the swift gait established by the
Omaha reception committees and came de
termined to ever keep In sight of the prot
cession. They reported the rldo a' dusty
and dirty one , but alighted from the train
with eyei wide open that nothing might bo
missed which was worth the seeing.
In the party were the following city offi
cials : Mayor John Mncvlcar , Aldermen J ,
G. Olmsted , W. a. Hall and John Love-
ridge ; S. M. King , engineer for the Board
of Public Works ; S. W. Baker , deputy au
ditor ; S. A. Martin , deputy clerk ; H. T.
Gross , license collector ; William Burnett ,
chief of the nro department , and Miss
Margaret Turner , the mayor's private sec-
retary. Others in the party were Thomas
Hatton and Mlle Ward , president and sec-
retary , respectively , of the Commercial ex
change ; J. W. Hill , ex-prcsldent , and H. B.
Hedges , a director , of the exchange ; G , B.
Bartwlck , president of the Manufacturers'
nnd Jobbers' association ; Secretary of State
Dobson and I. E. Wilson and Miss Wilson.

The special train waa met by Mayor
Frank E. Moores , City Clerk Hlgby , City
Treasurer Edwards , Councilman Lobcck ,
Burmcster , Bechcl and Karr , Mayor's Secre
tary Adams , Chief Rcdcll of the fire depart
ment , General Manager Clarkcon and Press
Commissioner Richardson of the exposition ,
The official portion of the excursion was
placed on a special trolley car and trans
ferred at once to the Auditorium of the
exposition , where It was formally received
The party was then brought back to the
city , stopping on the way at the Omaha
Brewing association's plant , where enter
tainment was furnished by that establish
ment of such character as mlcht be sup
posed to bo relished by an energetic lot ot
people from a prohibition state. From
there the visitors were taken to the Murray
hotel , and Inter to tbc city hall , where nn
Informal reception was held , and the guests
shown through that building.
The other members of the excursion lost
no tlmo looking at President Burt'a archi
tectural masterpiece , but hastened across
the way to the new Burlington depot , gen-
crusly accepting tbo former ns a freight re
pository , and passing through the beautiful
rotunda ot the new depot , complimenting
the beauty of the winding staircase and
the mosaic floors nnd granite pillars , took
the cars for the exposition grounds. Some
of them had friends In the city who were
at the station to meet them , but the ma
jority ot them were unhampered by social
obligations and pulled out for the grounds
as fast aa they'could find means of trans- ,
portatlon.
Welcomed at the Ground * .
The official party left Des Molnes at 7
o'clock and it was well toward noon when
U pulled Into the Union depot. Its members
were received by General Manager Clark-
eon ot the exposition , with Mayor Moores
and other city officials , and escorted at
once to the Auditorium , where exercises
similar to those which have marked other
municipal days were held. During the long
delay that preceded their arrival , the Mo
Cook band entertained the audience with an
excellent program , which was oleaghted by
several encores.
President Wattles presided and Introduced
Mayor Moorep , who welcomed the visitors to
Omaha. He made his greeting brief on ac
count of the hour , but explained that it lost
nothing in cordiality on that account. Ho
stated that while the city ot Omaha might
derive a temporary advantage by reason of
the location ot the exposition , every thriving
city In the west Is receiving now impetus.
After these buildings have served their pur
pose the whole west will share equally In
the advantages of the great transmlsslsslppl
how. Of no state would this prove more
true than of Iowa. Omaha and DCS Molnes
each have a great dork to do In connection
with the development of the west. It Is not
enough that they should keep abreast of the
progress of their states , but it is tbclr duty
to lead tbo march ot progress , and the
speaker prophesied that at tbo end of an
other decade each city will bo doubled In
population. In conclusion the mayor dis
posed of the keys ot the city for the twenty-
eighth time , since his inauguration , and in
vited the visitors to take the utmost ad
vantage of the liberty accorded them.
SrntliurittN of the Hmvkryex.
Mayor Macvlcar of DCS Molncs expressed
bis appreciation of the neighborly greeting
that the party had received in Omaha. Ho
stated that the commercial nnd Industrial
prosperity of the two cities depend very
largely on the agricultural resources ot the
transmlsslsslppl country. Both raise corn
and hogs and their jobbing territory inter
mingles. While they recognize Omaha as
the great middle west city , they still con
tend for the superiority of their state. Iowa
Is also Interested in tbo exposition , which
is an honor to tbo entire west.
In expressing the greeting of the expo
sition , President Wattles said that Des
Molnes was a great city in the midst of the
most magnlficlent agricultural section In the
union. To those who are familiar with the
wonderful fertility ot Its soil it is
rot surprising that Black Hawk wept
when ho saw it turned over to the
white faced pioneer. President Wattles em
phasized the fact that the growth of DCS
Molnes has been ot a moro solid and per
manent character than that of most western
cities. It has never experienced the real
estate boom and subsequent collapse. Its
affairs have always been managed conserva
tively and today Its debt per capita Is
smaller than that ot any other largo western
city. Tbo commercial and Industrial ad
vantages of the city wcro briefly sketched
and In conclusion President Wattles brought
out the fact that Iowa was the first state
to glvo its official sanction to the exposi
tion and welcomed Its citizens not only as
guests but as partners In the enterprise.
President Thomas Hattnu of the Commer
cial exchange of Des Molnes spoke briefly
In response to President Wattles , Ho eulo-
Klzed tbo courage Omaha has exhibited In
daring to undertake such an enterprise as
this exposition , and declared that ho Is al
most ns proud of it as though it all belonged
to Iowa.
Secretary Ward of the same organization
added a few sentences in a similar vein , and
then the visitors were escorted to their be
lated dinner.
OlUrlnln Iianob Together.
Upon returning from the exposition tbc
visiting officials were taken to the Murray
hotel for further entertainment. An ex
cellent luncheon was served there at 2:30 : ,
for which thirty covers were laid. After
proper and dutiful attention to a splendid
menu , Miyor Moores called tor order , and
extended a further welcome to the officers
from the town capital , nnd expressed the
hope that Inter In the summer , when the
railroads finally consented to ranko suitable
rates for the exposition , DCS Molncs would
ngaln come to this city , and in much larger
numbers.
Ho Introduced Mayor MaoVlcnr , who said
that when his party returned homo the
members would not hesitate to soy n good
word for the exposition. If they told only
the facts , ho eald , It would bo enough to
create n desire on the part of everybody
In DCS Molncs to como and see forhimself. .
C , ti. Watrous and Thomas B. Hatton also
spoke for the visitors and were generous
In their compliments to the city for the
cordiality shown In the entertainment
offered nnd the heartiness of the greetings
tendered.
President BIngham of the city council
made a short talk and City Engineer Rosewater -
water discussed the subject of asphalt pave
ment , showing Its development and what
competition had done In the way of lower
ing prices. He also answered several ques
tions on the subject asked by Mayor Mac-
Vicar.
After this the gathering dispersed nnd the
visitors went out to the exposition grounds
to absorb aa much ot the beauties there
as was possible with the limited time at
their disposal.
The excursionists will not return on any
special train. They will go back home on
the regular trains , ns the return traffic will
probably bo distributed over several days.
The rates made for the excursionists are 1
cent per mile on tickets with a limit of two
days , nnd ono faro for the round trip , some
what higher , for tickets with the return
limit extended until twelve days , District
Passenger Agent Stewart of DCS Molnes says
most of the people from that city had heard
so many good reports of the exposition that
they wanted to stay hero longer than two
days , and accordingly bought the tickets
good for twelve days.

OMAHA , Aug. 23. To the Citizens of
Onuha : When the Second Nebraska regi
ment passed -through Omaha on Its way to
the front Its coming was so unexpected and
the hour of Its arrival was so untimely that
no demonstration was made by the people
of our city In its honor. This was a great
disappointment to many of our citizens , and
so , no sooner was the fact announced that
the reglnlent was to be returned to Omaha
than a large number of persons requested
mo to lake tbo matter in band and arrange
to glvo the boys nn appropriate reception
upon their arrival.
On account ot the increased duties of my
position at the present time in receiving
various delegations of city officials who are
visiting Omaha from other cities , and also
in welcoming the numerous conventions
being hold in the city , I preferred that
some other person should bear the responsi
bility of the undertaking. But the tlmo Is
now so brief before the boys will arrive
that whatever arrangements are to bo made
shoud be parfected at once , and I have ,
therefore , consented to call a meeting of all
interested citizens to ' be held in the mayor's
office at the city 'hall on next Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock to make plans nnd de
vise ways and means for the occasion. If
wo are to glvo the boys a reception It must
bo a' tremendous ovation , in which every
patriotic citizen of Omaha shall join. Our
Nebraska soldier boys have shown that they
have in them the stuff of which heroes are
mado. Wo are justly proud of their record
and wo all deslro to show our appreciation
in acts.
All public spirited and patriotic citizens
are Invited to attend this meeting on Thurs
day evening at the mayor's office , and it is
hoped that each person will come prepared
to make practical suggestions for the re
ception to our boys of the Second regiment.
Respectfully , FRANK E. MOORES ,
Mayor.

port , which was adopted by the association.
It . was to the effect that the negro rage Is

ao tbo special means for advance. The negroes -
groos were advised and urged to put them
selves forward more in the business ot the
world and to have the pluck to stick to It.

mittee of three composed ot J. L. Thomp
son of DCS Molnes , la. , E. H. Hall of Omaha

NATIONAL RESERVE MEETING
Flmt Senslon of the Supreme Lodge
of the Association Ever Held
Outildc of Kama * City.
The supreme lodge of the National Re
serve association Is now holding In Omaha
Its first session outside of Kansas City , the
home of the organization and the place of
its birth. This is its fourth biennial meet
ing and about fifty accredited representa
tives are present.
The session opened yesterday and the re
ports of tbo officers and standing commit
tees were received , all showing the associa
tion to be growing and In good financial
condition. There were five vacancies in the
list of elective officers , which are chosen for
a term of four years , and those were filled
as follows : Supreme secretary , A. G. Light-
man of Kansas City ; supreme treasurer , B ,
F , Burd of Kansas City ; supreme conductor ,
J. B. Sheldon of Omaha ; supreme trustees ,
I. A. Strauss of Topeka and J. B. Rlshel ot
Council Bluffs.
The committee on laws submitted an ex
tended report recommending numerous
changes in the bylaws , none of which were
of particular Importance.
Last night the visiting members were
taken in charge by the representatives ot
tbo local lodges and given a transient view
of the beauties of the exposition. During
the day the women in the party , of whom
there are many , were entertained by the
women of the local lodges in rides over the
otty and Ceuncll Bluffs.
The association will resume Us session
this morning and the officers hope that 'by
diligent application to duty they will be
able to complete their work today , that
they may have tbo rest of the week in which
to attend the exposition. No program ot
entertainment baa been prepared for this
evening because the supreme lodge officers
requested the local committee to * leave the
night open for a night session should It be
found necessary to hold one in order to
complete the builnesi of the meeting' .
The association was organized In Kansas
City in February , 1891 , and with the excep
tion of the present meeting all biennial ses
sions have been held in that city. The or
ganization has grown till it has subordinate
lodges as far east as New York and Pennsyl
vania and as far west as California. It does
not extend Into the southern states , but
alms to confine its field of action to tbo
middle , central and western states. It has
three subordinate lodges in Omaha and ono
in Council Bluffs.

AFRAID TOJFACE HUNGER
Crow Imllnnn < ; l f n. Xovcl Kionxe
for > ot Co > n I n if to the
lit the
Of all the causes brought forward to ex
plain why certain people have remained
away from the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition
the moct unique has been advanced bv the
two score of Indians belonging to the Crow
Agency , Mont. They nllece that they have
not attended the Indian congress hero be
cause they nre fearful that they will not
get enough to cat.
When the plans for the Indian congress
were first under discussion General Pas
senger Aecnt John Francis of the I ) . & M.
railroad was asked If he would transport
thirty or forty Crow Indians from their
reservation on his line In Montana to the
exposition. He said red men were right
In his line nnd It their transportation
would help along the exposition It should
be provided forthwith. So he turned the
matter over to hla chief clerk , J. E. Buck
ingham , with instructions that the Indians
should have the "best of everything. But
up to ilato "Buck" hasn't been able to
move his Indian charges.
Numerous telegrams have been exchanged
between the genial chief clerk and Agent
Becker of the B. & M. nt Crow Agency ,
but the two score of/Poor L6 steadily re
fuse to start. Agent Becker wires that ho
has had them corraled near the station no
less than four times. But each tlmo they
would break away before tbo train came
along and take to tbc hills and far away.
After much original investigation the
agent found that the trouble Is the fear
that they would not bo fed as well by the
exposition management hero ns by Uncle
Sam out on the agency. "
In reply to the last telegraphic inquiry
as to why the Crows came not , Agent
Becker wired as follows : "Indians say
palefaces won't feed them at big show ;
too ' many others to feed. Have had them
together three or four times , Hope to
make next start a go for sure. "
Then "Buck" dictated the following in
reply : "Mr. Becker , don't turn them loose.
We'll throw them In the rear caboose it
they won't bo good. 'Tell ' them there's
plenty here to eat and to drink , but they
can't have any ot the latter. Lots of other
heap bis chiefs here and they .all ore feed
ing well and wouldn't leave the show.for
anything less than firewater. Uncle Sam
will feed them well and if he doesn't they
can get anything from , a roast beef sand
wich for 10 cents to a ton-course dinner
for $4.50. So load them onto the big fire
wagon and bring thorn along. "
The Crow Indians ! are expected hero
within a few days. ' .
SICK SOLDIERS COME HOME
Forty-Six Memliern of the Second IVe-
brHflkn Fnrlouulm on. Account
offline * * .
Tenth street dcppt took on quite a mili
tary look ycbterdarl fernoon when Sergeant
G. W. Mlllard of Ord , Neb. , arrived from
'
Chlckamauga park with forty-six sick sol-
dlers of the Second regimcnt of Nebraska.
These soldiers came from all parts of the
state and Omaha 'was made the central
point from which all went to their homes.
Two of them belonged to Company G. but
they are not very sick and will bo able to
again join their regiment when the fur1
lough of thirty days shall have expired.
Most of the boys1 looked hollow checked
and had largo dark circles under their eyes
and showed only too plainly the hardships
they have endured at Chlckamauga' park.
Only ono of the number looked as though
ho was In real danger , C. E. Dcates of North
Platte. When bo left Nebraska with the
troops he bad only just recovered from a
severe attack of malaria feverand was in
(
no condition to endure the life of a soldier.
After he reached Chlckamauga ho became
ill with pleurisy and with which he seemed
yesterday to be suffering. The others have
just come out of ( the hospital , where the
majority of them had malaria , and the long
journey was passed through without mishap.
Two special cars were given them and the
best ot care was taken of them during the
transportation.
The Second regiment has made quite a
reputation for Itself and the southern press
speaks in the most glowing terms of the
behavior and flno bearing of its members.
Their sobriety , perfection in drill and mili
tary tactics won the hearty approval of all
who saw them and Sergeant iMlllard says
when they can stand on their feet , they
will show the citizens of Nebraska a regi
ment of which they may well be proud.
According to those returning , Chlckamauga
is a most unhealthy place for nn encamp
ment. The water is poor and the situation
breeds malaria in Its worst form. Malaria
and typhoid fever are prevalent among the
soldiers and the death rate has reached
enormous proportions. The Second regiment
Is ono of tbo first to get its sick soldiers out
of the camp. The remainder are expected
this week.
DENVER WANTS THE PRIZE
Fire Chief Hol.ertn Will UP Here with
a Ten in to Coiiiitctu In
To urn nine lit.
Fire Chief Roberts of Denver Is making
extensive preparations for the national fire
men's tournament that is to bo beld in this
city. It Is tbo first time that any rcpre-
bcntatlvo firemen's team has left Denver for
competition during the last sixteen years-
over slnco tbo famous Joe Bates' hose team
of Denver surpassed all previous records In
the flro department world at Council Bluffs
In 1882. Chief Roberts , however , proposes
to make up for this by carrying oft a few o
the prizes with his men In the coming
tournament.
Denver will send eight men , four horses
and hose wagon to the tournament. The
team of firemen will Include the chief , Cap
tains Eymann , Henry Sarwash and A. L. .
Graeber , Lieutenant John Wllmott , Henry
Shaffnltt , P. F. Gibbons , Frank Hotter nnd
Patrick Bayne. These will enter In almos
all tbo events. The chief himself will taki
part in the freo-for-all foot race for chiefs
of flro departments. The two horses tha
are slated to take part are Colorado bred
and two substitutes will also be taken along ,
The men and horses are In active training
for the tournament.

Depot nnd vloiluct matters were not
curbed at all at last night's council mcot-
ng. There was a prospect for awhile that
ho fathers would take up the conMdcratl6n
f the city's finances. President Blngham
nade the suggestion that the council ought
o spend half an hour In learning how the
Ity stood In the various funds In order that
L could cut Its cloth In such a way that u
loflclt should not exist at the end of the
car. This Investigation and examination
i-os postponed , howovcr , because a couple ot
ouncllmon wished to bo excused.
An interested spectator of the council pro-
ocdlngs was Thomas Martin of Morrlstown ,
T. J. , who was an Omaha city councilman In
872. He was Introduced to the council
members by ex-City Councilman Kennard ,
The mayor vetoed the resolution permit-
Ing the Scblltz Brewing company to erect
a temporary music hall and theater at Slx-
centb and California streets on tbc grounds
hat the proposed structure did not conform
Uth the provisions of the flro ordinance. On
he same grounds the mayor vetoed the rcso-
utlon allowing Louts Godola to erect a scale
louse. Both resolutions wcro unanimously
iustalned.
DlNuoNlna ; of Apprnlncri' Ilcpnrtu ,
The report of the appraisers on the value
ot the land that was to have been con
demned for a boulevard to run from Bcmls
o Hanscom pork was disapproved because
ho valuation Is excessive. This was the
action decided on at a recent committee of
ho whole meeting. A recommendation was
made that the mayor appoint another board
o make a new appraisement , but It was
decided to postpone such action until It
was known that the park board desired an
other appraisement.
The report of the appraisers on the boule
vard from Hanscom park to Rlvcrvicw was
referred back to the Advisory board and
.hrough it to the appraisers to determine
damages that might occur to adjoining prop
erty not taken.
A resolution by Councilman Karr , in
structing the Board of Public Works to tear
up the wooden blocks on North Twenty-
fourth street from Spauldlng to Lake streets
and to recover the concrete base with gravel
and cinders at a cost of not more than
11,000 , provoked the greatest discussion of
the meeting. The resolution was based on
a petition from the adjoining property own
ers , including Herman Kountze and A. L.
Patrick. Objections were made by various
councllmen on the grounds that there Is no
money on hand to do the work. City Comp
troller Wcstberg , who was called upon ns a
resident of the district , voiced a different
objection. He stated that the property own
ers had selected wooden blocks as the cheap
est material , had never paid for the pave
ment and could not be legally forced to pay
the assessments if the pavement is torn up.
He insisted that the blocks ought to remain
until the property owners agreed to lay a
new pavement.
City Attorney Connell would not agree to
the proposition that the tearing up of a
wornout pavement would release the prop
erty owners from their tax. As there
seemed to be some question regarding the
legality of the proposed actlo'n , however , the
matter waa sent to a committee. Just be
fore adjournment a resolution by BIngham
waa passed , requesting the city engineer to
report if some parallel street could not be
placed In condition at lesser cost to relieve
Twenty-fourth street.
The ordinance prepared by City Attorney
Connell to prevent "swindling and over
charging by barbers" was Introduced and
read a first and second time , Among other
ordinances Introduced waa one providing for
the repaying of Thirty-second avenue from
Dodge to Dayenport and another to widen
Eighteenth street from William to Lincoln
avenue , fourteen feet on the cast side.
The following ordinances were read a
third time and passed : Paving Thirty-sec
end avenue from Lincoln to Dorcas ; paving
Dodge from Thirty-first avenue to Thirty-
fourth with asphalt ; grading * Fowler avenue
from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth , and fixing
appraisers' fees.
Settling the Wulnnt Hill Grading.
A resolution was passed instructing the
city engineer to prepare a plan of assess
ment , relevylng the Walnut Hill grading
tax under a plan by which one-half the cost
is to be paid by the property especially
benefited and one-half to be paid by the
olty at large. This tax is the one that was
declared Illegal by the courts on the grounds
that the petition calling for it did not have
the required legal number of signatures.
Since the decision the property owners who
have not paid their assessments have re
fused to do so and such as have paid are
asking for their money back , but a great
many have consented to settle for one-half
their assessments. The grading was done
a good many years ago. The now assessment
Is to bo prepared in time for the meeting
of the Board of Equalization next month.
The bills of Attorney Day and Dunn for
services in behalf of the Herdman flro and
police board in the Cox and Shoup case ,
amounting to $500 , were placed on file until
the legal status of the board Is finally de
termined by the supreme court.
The sum ot $200 was appropriated for
weed cutting and another | EOO for necessary
street repairs , the money coming out of
the road fund.
The Board of Public Works was ordered
to construct a three-foot cinder walk on
one sldo ot Sherman avenue from the Belt
line to Fort street. The old wooden walk
was torn up some time ago on account of
Its dangerous condition and the people liv
ing on the street have been kicking for a
new walk since.
The petition of the Omaha Hotel Men's
association asking for the repeal of the
hotel runners' ordinance and the revocal ot
the hotel runners , ' licenses on the grounds
that such runners have become public
nuisances , brought forth a committee report
to the effect that the city has no legal power
to suppress the runners until the time for
which tlio license they paid for expires.
Z. Cuddlngton & Co. , who have been occu
pying Irard street back of tbo engine house
on Shermnn avenue with coal yards , will
liavo to vacate because tbo rent has not been
paid nnd the property owucrs object to the
shutting up of the street ,
The Central Labor union extended nn In *
vltntlon to the council to attend the tenth
annual Labor day picnic and parade of the
union , The Invitation was accepted ,
The bills of O. S. Kelly company for the
use of street sw replug machine were dis
allowed because the employment of tbo ma-
chlno was never authorized by the council.

Thirty-Seven Gather ToRpther nnd
Hold n County Convention to
Chooftc ComtrmNloiuil
Thirty-seven democrats , representing the
nlno wards of Omiihu , the four wards of
South Omaha and the thirteen country pre
cincts , nnd all of these democrats being

Dick O'Kcefe , chairman of the county
committee , nnd Tom Flynn of the Second
ward was chosen for temporary chalrm.ln
and L. J. Plattl for temporary secretary.
Will Hordman , In a pious voice , asked If
there were any contests. The humor of the
request did not at once make Itself op-
parent to the convention , but in n moment
It was remembered that tbo delegates wcro
all chosen by the county committee without
he semblance of n primary or caucus , and
.hen the delegates loosened themselves and
laughed. Mr , Herdman was thereupon
gravely Informed by the secretary that
there were none nnd Herdman moved to
make the temporary organization perma
nent , which was dono.
The delegation to the congressional con
vention was then appointed W allowing five
lelegntes to each ward In Omaha , two to
each ward in South Omaha , one. from each
country precinct and three at largo. The

There being no ono present from South
Omaha , Will Herdman named eight dem
ocrats In 'that ' city to act as delegates and
the convention elected them. The delegates
from the country were chosen in the same
manner , but quietly , the secretary arrogating
that duty to himself.
After all this work had been concluded
the convention adjourned.
WORK OF AMATEUR COWBOY
Clarence White L.a nee AiiKnnt Cur-
long and Draifu Him Over the
Rough Pavement.
Clarence White , aged 14 , has ono great
ambition In life to become a cowboy. He
has secured a sombrero , a pair ot long loose
fitting corduroy trousers and a lariat.
With this latter adjunct to his cowboy out
fit he is a terror to all the small boya of
his neighborhood , whose necks are burned
from contact with the rope.
Yesterday White was standing In front of
a livery stable near his home , Twenty-
eighth and Leaven worth , streets , when little
August Carlong , aged 12 , passed by. White
had hla lariat celled for a throw. "Run ,
you little Dutchman , like a steer , 'cause
I want to rope you , " yelled White when he
saw little August. August did run , but It
was to get out of White's way. The noose
of tbo rope settled over his head and he was
yanked from his feet and brought to a
sudden Jerk that nearly choked him. White ,
who Is a big strong fellow for his age , after
ho had roped August , turned and ran ,
dragging the helpless boy over the brick
pavement and car tracks. Ho ran for a
block before bo released the boy. August's
hands ware badly lacerated ; the tip of ono
of his fingers was torn off and his body
and head were a mass of bruises. The damage -
ago to his clothing waa Irreparable. Au
gust's father had the would-bo cowboy ar
rested.
