STILL THEY CONE.
Another Row on KickapOO Island

For an a5undanc. of trouble and tribula-
ton the island in the middle of the river il
entitled 10 the blue ribbon. This time Nc
Donald appears before Judge Gardner and
complains that the man Smith, Who was 90
terribly beaten by himself and wife day or
two ago, has taken the Law into his own
hands and worked ont his revenge on his
ASSISTANTS in a cruel and dastardly manner.
In the dead of nigh, he entered Mr.. Nc
Donald's stable. and with carving knife
cut deep gsshes in the hind quarters and
otherwise mutilaied one of bis best horses
This last action of Smiths has thoroughly
exaspera,ed Mcdonald, and he gives due
notice that Smith must be imprisoned or he
sh al be under the necessity of killing him
outright. or course the Law is bound to pro-
tect Smith, and in order that he may not re-
ceive any bodily harm. Constable Cross was
directed TO 60 after Smith land unless he
gave a bond) to bring him to the city for
safe keeping.
Monday the hearing will probably take
place and the able bodied inhabitants of the
island, together with the lame, halt and
blind, will be in attendance to tell what they
know about the Smith McDonald feud. A
whole boarding house has been engaged on
Cherokee street for their special accommo-
ds,ion, and soups with plenty OF vegetables
will be their diet till the evidence is all in.
Judge Gardner ia bunting the town over for
q ''coat of mali and Constable Gross will
spend most of tine day making cartridges for
his derrinser. They evidently anticipate
a lively time.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
4 Man Run Over and Cut to Pieces
by a Freight Train.

Yesterday afternoon, about shutdown, n
the incoming freight train was running be.
tween Beverly and the bridge across the
Missouri, a man was discovered lying upon
the track, bat before the brakes could be
applied the train passed over the body.
mutilating it in horrible manner. The
train came on to this city, where the engine
was detached and vent back with Hat car
to bring in the remains. Parts Of the mans
body were found scattered along the track
for nearly half mile. Brains bespattered
the sleep,rs in several places, but the head
could not he found. The lower limbs and
parts Of the trunk WAS gathered together,
placed in a blanket and taken to the freight
depot at the head of SIKH street, where an
inques. will probably be held to-day. The
mans name is unknown. Judging from
the appearance of hia clothes he was a day
lahorer.
A small package Of candy, pills and pow
ders from Parahan,'s drug store was found in
his pants pocket. The candy from some
printing on the bag, Was identified
by a Fifth street confectioner
As coming from his store. The unfortunate
man probably lived somewhere along the
line OF road between here and Platte City,
and was returning home in an intoxicated
condition, when he laid down to sleep of his
drunken stupor and met his terrible death.
From the manner in which the body was cut
it is supposed that he laid lengthwise BE-
tween the rails, witty his head nearest to the
engine. the train WAS coming around
a curve when the man was first discovered.

MORRIsTowN, n. j., Aug. 49,. 1873.
The Misses Hunter, of tiis town, having
spent an agreeable summer vacation rruni
their home, lately arrived in New York,
previous 10 their starting To Morristown, and
purchasing at the Morris Il Essex depot the
necessary tickets, presented the same 10 the
baggage-master, respectfully requesting him
To have their trunks, seventeen IN number,
checked. The shrewd dignitary gave long,
shrill whistle, and informed them that the
express Office WAS the proper place in which,
10 apply il they wished TO take their trunk
with them, as each passenger was allowed
but 100 Lbs baggage. Inquiry at the latter
place revealed the fact that the exhorbilant
tariff Of 81 % was demanded for each
trunk. Upon the Ladies demonstrating the
expressman CALAMITY relented and agreed to
send the contraband goods for 81 each. But
the ladies remembering that a passenger
land trunk if he chose is car
ried over the road for eighty cents, jemurred
even to this magnanimity, and without
further ado quietly walked TO the ticket Of
fee and bought fifteen tickets. These they
exhibited and the baggage official gave the
ladies the checks which they sought. The
result of this financial maneuver is that the
Misses Hunter have fifteen tickets, only two
being demanded of them by the conductor;
as they are good until used, according to
the company may be compelled
to transport fifteen passengers, with as many
trunks, if necessary, from New York to
Morristown.

have been on the constant search for him

Mr.. Powers Clark arrived from the home
of the missing man, bringing the informa-
ton that Burnett reached home 1t midnight
on Friday, having made his way from this
city on foot. Although weak and exhausted,
he seemed to be in his right mind, and gave
complete and satisfactory explanation Of his
strange conduct. He reiterated his former
statement in regard TO the men stopping him
on the other side of the river, and said that
after he had unhitched his horses from the
wagon he was followed by the parties
to the stable where he put up his horses.
The next day after his freight he was met by
a man claiming to be his friend, who kept
in his good grsces till night, and then he
offered to take him home in his own wagon.
Burnett consented to ride with him, and
when near the north part Of town another
man got into tie wagon and the three then
drove to an old shed somewhere in the sub
urbs where Burnett was ordered to slight
ard give up his money. Being thoroughly
frightened he wrenched himself from the
hold of one of the robbers and dashed out in
to the darkness. Several pistol shots we're
fired after him but none Of them took effect.
All tina, night he staid IL. ravine into which

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
The Vault Of the German Savings
Bank Broken Into.

A bold and daring attempt a, wholesale
robbery has been discovered in this city.
Yesterday forenoon, about nine clock, Mr..
Moller. cashier of the German Savings
Bank. attempted to open the doors of the
new vault in the Fnzxilliam building, where
the hank had recently moved. when he ex.
perienced some difficulty with the lock of
the inner door. After repeated attempts to
open it, he was finally obliged to send for .
locksmith who had no better success. Then
il was decided to break into the apartment.
A coal chisel was applied to the hinges of
one half Of the door. and when it was re-
moved the astonished officials knew
for the first time that the
vault had been broken into, and the safes
tempered with. In the rear end of the
vault, near the ceiling, was a hole dug
through the solid masonry from the floor
above, and large enough to admit the body
of man. Here was where the burglars
entered. They were evidently posted in re-
regard to the location of the vault, and the
character of the material of which the walls
were bdilt. They commenced operations in
the uniinished story above the banking rooms,
BY cutting hole between the floor joists to
the top Of the vault. From this point they
worked north through the solid brick work
for distance Of three feet, when they suc-
ceeded in breaking through into the
apartment where the safes were
kept. A strong rope was
placed around the safe in which were deposited
most of the funds of the bank, power drill
applied and hole forced through the heavy
iron door just above the combination lock.
Strange to say, the robbers did not succeed
in opening the safe, and consequently left
with their trouble for their pains. A few
boxes Of silver placed on special deposit with
the bank were broken open but the contents
untouched. The thieves prob.
ably did not care TO burden themselves with
any such plumber. What prevented them
from blowing open the sal. is not known.
Probably they were frightened BY the late
alarm Of fire, or else daylight overlook them
before they had time to finish their work.
The indications point to the fact that old and
crsck.men hal the business in
hand aud calculated on making a 'heavy
haul" We wonder that the bank should
have left their funds unprotected by watch
man in an unfinished building. Too much
care cannot he used by such institutions in
protecting themselves against robbery. No
clue to the robbers has yet been discovered.
