Police. Yesterday a queer old suit; In
wbicb the social system of Pioneer was
somewhat exposed, came op before Jntic8
Jteynolds. It appears one Bland, colored
individual, has a better half who Is given
to "ways tbat are dark aod trioka that are
vain." A short time slnoe, according to bis
testimony, he oaugbt his better half In too
close quarters according to his views, with
certain white man, known as the '-light
ning ticket seller of Pioneer." Thinking
bis honor had been wounded, Bland pro
ceeded to polish the woman off in One style
administering ta her sonnd beating. H
then turned oh the miserable ornery sped
men of a white brute, and dished blm up a
good solid pounding, which we might a
weli;remark served him just rigbt. Tbe
woman did not reiitb tbe beating she had
received, aod swore out warraot. A jury
trial was demanded by Bland, whisb resul
ted In tbe defendant being declared not
guilty, and tbe prosecutor pay oost.
i. The white man or thing rather, Is tbe
same party accused some montbs since of
greatly insulting two young ladles in the
depot at Pioneer. lie Is said to have a wife
aod several children residing there.
This Is about the worst case tbat bs.i

day, without a moment's warning the ve
randa of the bouite wbicb was crowded wtih
people, fell to the ground, carrying the
people with it. Mr. Win. Shepard, an old
and respected citizen was standing under
the porch and was instantly killed, hi-Jneck
being broken by the weight or the timber.
AJillln girl was injured bo severely that she
died a short time alter being taken out.
Sixteen or seventeen of tbose on the porch
were quite severely bruised. Tbis is all we
could learn of tbis sad affair.
An oiu.man named bebas tian , re

Letter From Kane City.
Brother K. of the village ofKane City,
was a most rigid exemplary Methodist, so
tbougbt'be at laest. Aaao example of his
good opinion of himself we offur tbe follow,
ing. lie denounced Catholics, Preabyter
lans, Baptists, In fact all denominations
outside tbe Methodists were wrong In their
belief and creeds. Were one to try to ar
gne tbe otogloal subjects with him be would
always get huffy and say "Don't try to
convert me from tbe true path by recondite
sophistry." However, be was materialist
enough lo live well. One morning during
a spirited revival be told bis experience In
about tbece words: Brethren and sisters
some fifteen yearn ago, I was brought to a
knowledge of the true and living God. Some
of our converts ask can one tell when bis
sins are lorgiven, certainly you can. Why
Brethren when I experienced religion my
very nesu GDangeu. 1 leu 11 in my very
finger ends and stand before you this even
ing a spiritually and physically diffcren'
man . than before my-conversion. Free
from sin and ready and willing to die at
this moment if tbe Lord wills it. A
miserly and sacrellglous landlord being
present arose and cooly requested Mr. K. to
settle bis rent if be valued life so lightly.
An audible titter and adjourned meeting.
A day or two since we were accosted
oy a raw rural youtn, wno, evidently unue
to tbe ways of muocipal life knew not
the obeek possessed by city boys. We were
at our friend's place of business when
euphonious barbarous language fell upon
our ears: "Say, hain't Maggie work In' at
your house?" "Yes sir," we replied,
eivoylng our interpolator. "Be you goln
upbbma soon!" Yes." "Will you let a
feller go along?" "Beiog pleased and rear
surei at our assent be grew communicative.
"Mag she's my gal, hang'd nice gal too.
Bob Smitb used to go with ber, but you

don, t let any these ere chaps round here
look at ber, jlst let me know, I'll fix era.
Say, yer pap won't oare 'bout me aeein'
Mag will be!" We assured him tbat be
could see Maggie If he c boosed with per
feet Impunity and tbat no immunity would
be exaoied.
By this time we were at the house. Mag
gla.sufruacd wltn blushes appeared and
was at once clasped in the arms of ber over
joyed lover. Sucb a meeting we never saw
before, no maudlin, shallow sentimentality,
but pure simple undented aOlction.
