Remington Press: Mr,. C. S. Cox, of Coffeyville, Kans., well known in this vicinity, where he formerly resided, met with another adventure while hunting the Dalton boys, last week. It appears that word was received at Coffeyville that the gang was secreted in a house some distance from the town, and, a party of men was organized to go out and capture them, Mr. Cox being one of the party. They found on arriving at the place that the game had fled, and in searching around in the dark for the Daltons, one of the party mistook Mr. Cox for one of the men they were in search of and blazed away. The gun was loaded with fine bird shot, and although the charge took effect in the back of Cox’s head, he was not dangerously wounded. The joint boards of White and Jasper counties took another twist at the Wakarusa ditch Monday and Tuesday They went out to look at the outlet Monday, and on Tuesday ruled upon quite a number of minor points in dispute; but upon the most important questions they were unable to agree, and adjourned until Nov. 13th. In the meantime will submit the points at to the judgement of some unbiased lawyer of eminent reputation and in Some other county. The questions of whether the matter of sufficiency of the outlet shall be reopened fora further hearing, and of whdtJher the relationship ot one of the 'viewers to an affected land owner’requires new viewers to be appointed, are now the vital points at issue. It is understood the ex Supreme Court Judge Byron K. Elliott of Indianapolis, is the legal Authority to whom the law points will be submitted. ' , -

The Valparaiso papers give ex. tended accounts of the events con nected with the shooting Of the Robinson brothers by Nathan Howe. It seems that Miss Emma Jones, who" tried to pull the mask from one of their, faces, and knocked the revolver from his hand, was under the impression when she did so, that the men were joking, which would account for her otherwise unparalled nerve. At the coroner’s inquest Mr. Howe was fully exonerated for shooting the robbers. Claire Robinson, the surviving brother, had his hearing Friday and was held for attempted robbery and attempted murder, in SSOOO bail. The amount Mr. Howe realized for his load of peaches was nearly S4OO, not SI,OOO as the first accounts stated.

Dr. M. E. Blair, a professional tooth extractor, was at the Makeever House all of last week, and did a very large business in, his peculiar line. He advertises to extract teeth absolutely without pain, and by the united testimony of the numerous people who availed themselves of his services, he does as he advertises. He does not give gas or any anaesthetic, but makes a local application to the gums which does the busines s He displays about half a bushel of teeth in a box, has several large sign boards tooth bespangled, like stars on the empyream, Lalso a coat sewn thickly with from 10 to 40 carat molars, incisors, cuspids and bi-cus-pids, like diamonds on the raiment of an oriental maharajah. At the next World’s Fair he will probably exhibit a “tooth palace” after the manner of the lowa corn palace and the St. Paul ice palace, and such. From here he went to Momence, 111.

A sensational affair took place at the Presbyterian church, Monday evening, after the close of the meeting. The wife of a saloon keeper who had remained to expostulate wi th Mr. Keeley, the evangelist, for some very abusive terms he had applied to saloon keepers, the evening before, got very much excited and slapped or attempted to slap him in the face. The saloon-keeper and his wife were both present at the meeting of Sunday evening, at which time not only was the business of saloon-keeping denounced, but saloon-keepers themselves were represented as lower than the beasts of the field. Inasmuch as Mr. Keeley had previously been informed that the saloon man and his wife would attend the meeting Sunday evening, they naturally believed that the saloon-keepers were singled out as the especial objects for denunciation, for the purpose of humiliating them. Only ft very fe w persons were present when the slap - ping took place.
