lab at first glimpse of the Zenltb City. Mr.
Robson is entbuaiastio In praise ot Bay

thinks tbey are destined to become big ci
ties In tbe future. Had we tbe spice to

of what be saw on tbe trip, but time for'

Polici News About 12 o'clock last
night, a fearful oulcry of thieves," "mur
der," "robbery," Jtc, was heard in the vi
cinity ei tbe railrotd, at tbe Third Street
crossing. Deputy Atwell immediately pro
ceeded to Ibe scene ot tbe disturbance and
found tbe outcry to have been made by a
maa named Dougherty, who stated to the
officer that be bad been robbed by a woman
named Cranky Nell of $90 in greenbacks.
Dougherty gives bis residence as Allegbeoy
City, and that be Is a peddlar or drummer
by profession. He Imbibed teo freely of
bad whiskey, webt op town to 'have some
fun with tbe boys," fell among tb Philis
tines, and got robbed. The woman was ary
rested and examined before Justice Rey
nolds, resulting in her being held to appear
at Franklin to answer tbe charge of bigt-
way robbery. Dougherty swore positively
that Cranky Nell was the woman that rob
bed blm. It does not appear bow be came
on tbe railroad track, or bow it happened
tbat big overgrown individual like bim
allowed a weak woman to go through bis
pockets, without msklng an effort to pre
vent It, except by bawling murder at tbe
top of bis voice. Tbe money has not been
recovered.
Tom. O'Nell add John McCormick, two
of tbe boys who have been engaged In atrip,
ping boilers of tbelr brass, were arrested
yesterday for stealing the brass from tbe
engine at tbe Devlin well, Dalzell farm. Tbe
charge was afterwards withdrawn.
Messrs. Cornen & Beers, owners of tbe
Smith farm, near Roasevllle, on Cherry run
and the Summit farm, better known as tbe
Cornen & Beers farm, on Oil Creek, near this
place, are aboat to sell the same. Speakc
log of these farms tbe Oil City Resistor savs:
Tbe history of the Smith farm constitutes
an iu U resting chapter In tbe Petroleum de
velopments. Purchased in the first Instance
for a yoke of oxen, and finally by Messrs.
Cornen & Beers lor a few thousand dollars,
't has since yielded an amount of wealth
that would seem almost Incredible, and can
be reckoned by millions. With only allmit.
d portion of the same developed, tbe aver
age yield has been one of tbe best among
the producing farms of tbe Oil Region. It
Is to-day one of the most desirable oil prop
erties we know of and will be sold at a bar
gain in order to t close np tbe business of
Cornen & Beers. Being so conveniently lo
cated, and In such good working order, this
property is one of the best Investments tbat
wecould recommend In tbe country.
Tbe Summit farm, baviog tbe advantages
of being surrounded upon ail sides by tbe
best producing oil farms of the Oil Creek
valley, is equally desirable. Thls.farm will
be divided if desirable to purchasers.

sion, and tbe sooner tbe praotice is ceased

Jjanp Year Courtship.
The Omaha Bee says: Many of our citi
zens will recolleot Mr. M. L. Stantoo, Sec
retary to Dr. Payne. Fof tbe last two
weeks be has been at Council Bluffs with
tbe doctor. Last Wednesday be was mar
ried in tbat city, and there la a little ro
mance connected with tbe affair.
There arrived In Council Bluffs; teo days
ago, a lady from California, named Mrs.
Fitch. She was on her way from Sab Fran.
Cisco to London, but becoming sick while
traveling, she concluded to ston at Council
Bluffs, and put herself nnder tbe care of a
physician. She accordingly employed Dr.
Payne. While she was the doctor's nallent
Mr. Stanton became acquainted with ber.
She is a very handsome lady, thirty years
el age, and was a widow of tbe third de
gree, baving bad three husbands np to tbe
time or nor meeting Mr. Stanton; In addi
tion tb tbeae facts it mav be atated that she
is possessed of considerable wealth. Mrs.
Fitch Is a powerful spiritualistic medium,
aodlwblle traveling eastward she had a
prosentiment that she was to meet a coun
tryman oi ners to whom she would bs unit
ed in mstrimony, No sooner had sb set
ber eyes on Mr. Stantoo tban she coooluded
that be was tbe ,very man. Mrs. Filch
after a very briel courtshlD. took advantage
ol tbe fact tbat this is leap year, and chang
ing tbe course generally pursued In tbe af
fairs ot the heart, she made a proposal ol
marriage to ber beloved. Mr. Stanton took
time to consider the proposition. Mrs.
Fitch was of good family, handsome, educa
ted, and, above all t bines, wealthv. and he
finally concluded to become the fourth bus-
band. Aa affirmative answer was .accord
ingly given, and tbe ceremony took place at
the Paciflo House in Council Bluffs last
Wednesday afternoon, after a brief court
ship of one week; but tbe brevity of the
courtship.was only excelled by ,tbe ardor 0
tbe lovers. The happy couple bave gone
on a wedding trip lo New York, where
they will probably remain.

strange spring in tbe forest behind it. In
tbe middle ages this fountain was famous.
Inscriptions, ancient coins and tbe relico of
a Roman road attest the lact tbat it ban
been celebrated in earlier times. But in
the 16tb century a basin and batb for sick
people existed there. No record of its
abandonment has been preserved, In tbe
