A WHIRLwtND's FREAK.-A whirl-
wind whirled its whirling way around
the corner of Main and Clark streets
yesterday afternoon, and raised a cloud
Of dust so dense that for a few mo.
merts buildings, vehicles and people
we're obscured from sight. When the
whiilwind struck w. II. Clark's store
1t picked up an iron wheelbarrow which
was standing in front OF that establish
ment and carried it to the top of the
liberty pole. Here the barrow fingered
for a moment. and then descended
with terrific force. In its descent il
struck a small boy IN the head; but,
fortunately the boy sustained no in
jury, unless the slicing off OF an ear
and the crushing in Of seven or eight
ribs may, by a stretch of the imagina-
ton, be considered injuries. The bar
row struck the ground right side up
with care, and by the momentum of
the bounce was wheeled into the exact
position it had occupied OH the side
walk previous to the advent OF the
whirlwind. This fact was demon
strated by actual survey.

DIED OF HER WOUNDS

Kate Miller, better known as "Bull
Dog Kate" who was stabbed last Fri.
day night in a saloon on North Main
street, by Mary Irwin, alias "Hog Eye
Mary" died Of her wounds at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning, and was buried yes
terday afternoon. The c%oroner's in
quest developed the following facts.
| Kate was in Cramer's saloon consider
ably under the influence Of liquor and
very noisy, when Mary came in, and
was immediately the subject Of abuse
from Kate, who directed towards her
the foulest and most abusive language.
Mary challenged her abuser put of
doors, and upon the latter reaching
the sidewalk inflicted with a bowie
knife the wounds which resulted in her
death. A verdict was found in accord
ance with the facts. Mary is in Jail
and will bs examined upon a charge Of
murder before Justice Beatty at ten
O'Clock Tomorrow forenoon.
A number of wears ago Kate Miller
was an industrious, honest, hard. work
Ing woman, living in Denver City, Col
orado, earning a livelihood as a wash
erwoman. Al this time she was living
with her husband and two children
twins. For ONE reason another wo.
man became insanely jealous of her
and poisoned both of the little children,
and from that time Kate Miller made
the world her enemy. The fOrlorn,
degraded life she has led here for tho
past two years Is known to all, but the
cause which drove her to it is known
to but a few, and in her dying hour the
never falling love Of a mother asserted
itself, and the last words she uttered
were, at ~ getting dark, wrap the
lItlle ones up warin."
She leaves a son. a bright, intelligent
boy OF about 9 years Of age, who has
found a good home with J. B. Scott,
living in Diamond valley.

A dispatch from Lincoln, Nebraska
June ls gives the following particulars of
the massacre by Indians of large portion Of
captain Stones company Of Cincinnatians en-
route for the Black Hills: About fifty miles
from Red Cloud Agency the day was so
warm, and the roads nearly impossible from
sand, the men had deposited coats and
weapons in the wagons, and were struggling
YEARLY behind, when Indians rushed down
and cut them off from the train. The mas
sacre followed with but little resistance, the
Indians numbering several hundred. The
leaders, Stone and James Wood were among
the first to fall. As far as ascertained, the
names Of those killed are Stone, Armstrong,
Kelly, Hudleston, West, Wslinsky, Barr,
Laboyteaux, Bauer, Wunck, Oldwage, Shat
tong, X. Lofts, Krunck, Mozeaute, Caddle,
Mckcog, Leancer and two drivers. The
bearer of the report declares that not a sim
gle one of the forty-nine escaped. Several
Of the bodies scalped and mutilated were
taken into North Loup Fort. Il is stated that
nesrly all the Indians have left the agen
cies, and are on the war path.

A Quick Juror.
Augusta (Ga.) Censtitutionalist.

We heard his honor Judge Gibson tell
an amusing story Of the way juror went
for a conviction. He says he was trying
a murder case few years ago down in
one of the wire-grass counties, and ex-
perienced great difficulty in getting a
Jury; that eleven jurors had been sworn
in, and in the next panel that was
brought in small, lean, lank, ca1aver-
Gus looking fellsw who had on one shoe,
his pants were nearly above his knees,
his shirt open both trent and back, and
the aforesaid trousers were held up by a
single gallows. The solicitor proceeded
to ask the usual questions in such cases
as follows:
"Havc you from having seen the crime
committed, or heard any Of the testimo-
ny delivered under oath, formed and ex-
pressed any opinion ~ to the guilt or in
noccncc OF the prisoner at the bar?'
So the "single gallus" fellow, in q
clear and distinct voice, answered:
"Not any,"
Second question-Hav you any pref
udice or bias resting on your mind for or
against the prisoner at the bar >?
Answer-I hain't.
Third question--Is your mind perfect
ly impartial between the state and the
accused
Answer--Hit air.
Fourth question-Are you conscien-
tiously opposed TO capital punishment?
Answcr-I isn't.
The state did not like the Juror much,
but it being late and jurors scarce, he
was put upon the prisoner in the usual
manner, the solicitor saying: Juror,
look upon the prisoner prisoner look
upon the juror"
The juror was quite near the prisoner.
and when this command was given lie
bent over him scanning him from head
to foot. The juror looked upon the
prisoner firmly in the face, and then
turning to the judge said, in firm,
solemn voice, " Yes, judge, think he's
guilty."

The Okefenokee Swamp.

The surveying party sent out TO survey
the Okefenokee swamp, report that it
measures one hundred and forty two
miles in circumference. and, with the
sinuosities, one hundred and eighty miles
around This vast formation, thirty miles
long and seventeen miles wide, is the
largest swamp in the United States 1t
lies in the southeastern part of Georgia,
but partly in north Florida. Here is the
Suwanee river, made famous by the ne
gro melody of the "Old Folks at Home" !"
1t traverses a large section of upper
Florida, is bordcred with valuable cy-
p,ess and other timber, and empties into
the gulf at point eighteen miles above

Cedar Keys. Okefenokee swamp was for
generations refuge for runaway slaves.
Indians have lived there until recently,
cultivating gardens; and in the depths
of the jungles and forests arc thousands
of bears, and great many Florida "ti.
gers"-the cougar, or American panther.
One curious experience of the surveying
party was to find themselves at one time,
while in the midst OF a great swamp,
suffering for water. The discovery of
lot of mounds, probably built by race
of men existing before the Indians" is
also reported. Several skeletons were
taken out Of them, but crumbled as soon
as exposed to the air.

The fellowing important and interest

in some of the items have of course oc-
CURED since the latter date, as for in

have largely increased but in general
way the figures give fair idea of the ac-
tual condition OF the leading nations OF
