J. r. Thompson, of Chillicothe,
last evening, while attempting to
board rapidly moving train at the
foot of Green street, missed his foot
ing and fell, the wheels smashing the
heel of the right foot severely. For
tunately, however, no bones were
broken, and while his injuries are
very painful, he will soon be well
again, and in the future, will prob
ably be more careful.
UNFoRTuNATE.-Ho j. w. Dixon
was out at his farm Yesterday, and
while there was assisting his brother
and o hired man in making some
board fence. Mr.. D. was mailing a
board on and did not notice broad
ak stuck into the post above, by the
hired man, and it fell out, striking
Mr.. d. just above tho knee cap cut
ting a cash some six inches long clear
to the bone. 1t is very serious
wound and it will be sometime, prob
ably, before he is able to be about
again.
Gen. Hedrick met with fortu-
nate accident to-day noon. His son
was driving him up street in his DEM
ocrat wagon, and when crossing a
ditch near Shepherds Ranch, the hind
seat tipped up pitching him out on to
the hard rock. 1t knocked him
breathless, and for a time he was
thought to be dangerously hurt, but
this afternoon he was able to be
down town. He will probably feel a
good deal more sore tomorrow than
he does to-day. We said it was a
fortunate accident, and it was, for if
he had fallen on his head, instead of
his side and shoulders, he might have
been killed.

Daily press and Dakotaian. [volume] (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1875-1880, 1877-07-20

Almost every days dispatches bring us
intelligence of highway robberies on TIE
Sidney route at Hat creek, and there seems
to be no official effort made to interfere with
the work of the road agents. Hat creek is a
tributary Of the South Cheyenne and runs
across the northwestern corner of Nebraska
and the southwestern corner of Dakota and
is nowhere upon Indian ground. The tele-
graphic reports do not state where the rob-
berries soccur-whelher in Dakota or Ne
braska. If in Dakota they are in the unor-
gsnized county of Forsythe, which is at
tachcd to the first judicial district, and as
w cannot find that it is attached to any
other county for judicial purposes, it is prob
ably under the jurisdiction of the United
States marshal and United States attorney.
II the robberies occur on that portion of
Hat creek which runs into Nebraska, the
authorities Of that state should give them
attention. The road agents seem to have
selected this locality as the scene of their
operations, because it is SO near the bound
ary line and because that line is not de-
fnitely fixed. If captured it would be a
difficult matter to decide under which juris-
diction the ~depredations occur, though it is
probable that strongly twisted hemp would
intervene to cut short any necessity for a
discussion on that point.
