A Cooke street gentleman was cutting a
channel through the ice in his back yard Sun
day, when his axe caught over a clothes line
and came back against his head with a
thump which made him see more stars in one
second than the editor of the Providence
Journal could find names for in life time.
If the axe had been sharpened on the wrong
end it would certainly have entered the gen.
tleman's temple quite far enough to have
sent him to the golden gates or to the other
place instantly but fortunately the axe was
an ordinary one and the result was only
stunning blow and new chronological bump
on the temple, followed by headache and

Death ON the RAN.

The man killed on the Shore Line road
Saturday evening at Shaw's Neck engine
house near New London was David L. Bailey,
a painter. The cars backed over from the
depot, and the first intimation that the en-
gineer, John E. Carey, of this city, had that
anything had happened was a slight jar as
though the wheels had struck some trifing
obstruction. Immediately after boot came
flying over tender and engine, striking on the
ice by the side of the track, and presently the
form of a man lying across the track came
under the powerful rays of the head light.
Carey stopped his engine jumped from the
cab, and calling assistance, conveyed the
mangled remains of the unfortunate man to
the switch house near by. The jury returned
a verdict in accordance with the facts, but
recommending that a suitable light be fixed
on the tender of locomotives backing or
switching over the track from the New Lon
don Northern depot to the engine house on
Shaw's Neck after dark, that people crossing
the bridge and passing over or near the track
may be warned of the approach of locomo-

Among the excited crowd that yis- tied the office of the Helena tM0nta- naJ Independent for news concerning the Ute outbreak, there stood a tall, handsome youth of 23 years, the strange Whitcness of whose hair be- came at once a matter of comment. This young man was John Laefarr, who had not long ago hired himself as ranchman to Charles D. Hart, three miles out of Helena. Lac farr was importuued by Independent reporter Co tell Ct the story of his gray topkuOt" He at the age of 70 was one of the seven packers who leit Fort Lincoln in 1875, Co ride with General Custer along the Little Big Horn.

In a few moments after the sound of the combat reached him. band Of Sioux Sprang from the grass within a few feet ot them. Lac farr noosed rope, placed It in the mouth of the nearest horse, and leap ing upon the animals back, plunged his spurs into the flank. As he hug ged hIs horse he saw his SIX compan- IOns go down, one after the other. One bullet out of the hundred that followed him tore through his neck, another cut a deep iurrow across his cheek, third embedded iiselT in his thigh, and a fourth killed his horse.

He was at last found by three friend ly Crow Indians and taken by them tO Fort Lincoln, where he told of the massacre. It was not until he reached the fcrt that he knew of the change in his hair, which, before his terrible suffering, was black as a ravens wing.
