Tuesday evening couple OF boys
from Osceola about 8 and 10 years OF
age, were trying to sell a watch at the
Depot. Sam Jones saw the transac-
ton, interfered in the game, and found
out by vigorous pumping where they
were from, and all about their plans.
When the proper train came along he
went to them and told them that as
they had stolen the watch they could
take their choice-either 60 to Jail or
go home. He made an explanation to
the conductor, and when the train
pulled out they went with it, and are
probably bordering over the beauties

PROBABLE SUICIDE.
Lived Ninety.seven Years to be run
over by n Railroad Train.

Conductor Serviss, who came down
over the Central Railroad last night,
informs us that an old man ninety
seven years old, by the name of Sand
ford, was run over by train on the
Northwestern Railroad, near Marshall
town Tuesday evening.
The engineer says that there was
stock on the track between him and
the old man and he was giving that
all his attention. He did not discov-
er the old gentleman until he was al
most on him, but reversed his en-
CINE, not in time to save him however
The engine did not get entirely over
him until it stopped, but when Mr.
Sanford was picked up he was dead.
He had both mis- legs cut off, head
badly hurt and was bruised otherwise.
His son we understand gives the opin-
ion that the old man took his station
AZ that place on purpose to be killed
