two weeks ago Mrs. slade mysterionsly dis

the neighbour, Shade said his wife had gone

sudden disappearance and chain OF suspi-

grave comments and finally eliminated in
the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of

NARROW ESCAPE.
A Child i'm Front of a Locomotive
On. of the MOI, thrilling and hair breadth

One of the mos. thrilling and hair-bresdth
escapes that We have ever besn called upon
to chronicle, occurred yesterday on the Mis-
souri, Pacific road. As train No. "A was
rounding the curve at the coal shaft, a woman
With q child in her arms, and another at her
side, Was observed on the track but short
distance ahead of the engine. From her
staggering gait the engineer plainly sa~ the
woman was drunk, and in all probability
could not clear the track in time to escape
being struck. There was no time to be lost.
The shrill, sharp shrek of the whistle called
for the brakes, and right msnfuliy did the
boys work to stop the rapidly rushing train.
Every one on board rrembied and turned
pale ~ they awaited with b,ted breath, the
horrid catastrophe, but just before the engine
reached the woman she reeied of the track
and fell over the bank, while the little one
Who was walking by her ride teil across the
rail and crawled off just az the pilot graz-d
its clothes.
Conductor Barnard says he was fairly SICK
for iew minutes, 50 certain was ~ that the
child would be crushed iG pieces. When the
train stopped parties went back TO look up
the woman ard have her and the chi idr-n pro-
vided for. 1t was almost a miracle that any

Yesterday while passing along Cherokee
street, We happened to meet U. S. Marshal
Tough on his Town heath" He wss at his
stable unpacking a new driving wagon that
had just been received direct from New
York. We commenced talking horse with as
much assurance as Old Harper of Kentucky,
ard found the Captain willing 10 engage in
thai kind OF conversation.
Captain Tough has sent to New York
many of The finest and fastest horses in that
State. Kansas row ranks next TO Kentucky
as stock CROWN. country, and the credit
which our State has gained in this regard is
largely due to the enterprise and good
fellowship Of Capt. Tough. Yesterday he
sold two horses for 81 900, and sent them to
New York. One went to A. J. Bottsford,
For:y-Sixih street, New York. and the
other was bought By John Steiner for his
uncle. The hurses were "Honest John" and

and Bill Morgan, o,ics "Datch Bill" which
resulted very nn'avorably fer tie "Kid."
1t appears these two men, in company with
others of the fraternity, came to the city
day before Yesterday, registered at the Con-
tinental and circulated through the streets
in qnest of victims. Early yesterday morn
ing they entered DoraE's saloon for
the purpose Of getting a drink,
and while in there lke two men
above mentioned Got into a dispute about
some money matters. The "Kid" asked
Clutch Bilr to loan him ten dollars for a
few dave and "BiIl' replied that he did not
have the money to lend, Giida said he
''knew better" and drawing knife from his
pocket grabbed .'Bill' by the Lapel of his
coat, and remarking that he "would coon
find where the money was" slashed hole
in "BilPs" clothes directly across his breast
but did no, reach the flesh. ''Dutch BilP'
then stepped back few PAGES. drew a revolt
yer and shot the "Kid' through
the body, the ball entering the abdo-
men and passing diagonally through to the
spine, where it flattened against the bone.
The wounded man fell backward into cor
ner just as Bili' fred another shot, which
just grszed the body of the barkeeper and
shattered the glassware on the shelves be-
yond.
Bill" then fed through back door to
Cherokee street up Second to Delaware, and
was captured by Marshal Hook on Fifth
street nesr the bridge. Gilda was attended
by Ir. Sinks, who extracted the ball, and
the wounded man was then carried to the
Sisters Hospital, where he died sbcu,

noon We interviewed Dutch Bi,p
in his cell 10 the tombs. lie was very much
excited, and said be shot "The KID in self
defense. He showed US where his clothes
had been cut by the knife in the hands of
Gilds, and said he barely escaped death
himself.
The alteration in the saloon was not the
of the trouble between the |
parties. There was a woman mixed up in |
he case. "Bilr' brought notorious pros
titute here from Kansas City, and when by |
reason of her i'll behavior she became incar-
cerated in the calaboose, 1.-The Kid" bailed |
her out and shipped her to Denver. This
action stirred up chip considerable and |
he has been seeking 10 pick a quarrel with |
Gilda ever since. After the shooting took |
place the other "morte men" boarded the |
train and slit out" Both "Bili" and the
"Kid" were members Of an Omaha gamb-
ling gang. and II they had gone where the
woodbine twiueth they would have received
