THE STURLA TRIAL.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Theresa Sturla came
into court this morning and very nearly
tainted upon taking the stand, making up
on the whole very sensational spectacle
IN the court room. Her testimony was
however finished, as we'll as the cross-ex-
animation. Her testimony simply estab-
lished her love for Charley Stiles, and that
she was subject to hysteria. Other witness
es testified to the same effect.
HORRIBLE DEATH
TowANDA, Pa, Dec. 6.-When the acct
dent occurred at Rummersfeld last night
Engineer Faulker, who was pinioned in the
| cab of his own wrecked locomotive, saw the
| flames spreading around him, and called to
the train hands to cut away the cab. His
| right leg could not be extricated and he
must roast alive unless the cab was cut
| away. The spectators tried to release
him, but the flames spread SO rapidly that
no one could get near enough to the cab
| w WOAA WILL tlo dX0Ss duO Luoro Was no
water at hand with which to subdue the
flames. He bravely met his death by
inches in the flames.
TRAIN ROBBERIES.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-Owing to the bold
ness of train robberies and the number of
bad or suspicious characters infesting the
towns and country in the northern part of
Texas, the railroad companies are taking
unusual precautions to protect their trains.
Commencing to-day all passenger and ex-
press trains on the Texas & Pacific road
will carry strong force of state rangers as
a guard between Fl. Worth and Ell Paso,
and other roads will probably pursue the
same course. No captures are yet made
of the men who attacked the train on the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road a few days
ago, but it is pretty well established that
one of them, MORALLY wounded in the
fight, died next day near Cleburne, and
was secretly buried by his comrades
ILLEGAL HUNTING.
Extensive arrests have recently been
made by the Indian police of parties hunt
ing buffalo and other game on reservations
in the Indian territory. There is a federal
law against hunting on these lands with a
penalty of heavy fine and confscating of
effects. The Indian authorities say they
are determined to stop this sort of inya-
sion, and have issued instructions to arrest
all outside hunting parties found on the
| reservation and confscate their effects.
Hunters from Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
Texas and other states, have been already
arrested, and will be arraigned before the
| nearest United States court.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-In the court of Grim
nal correction this forenoon, the case of

Cockerell- Slayback tragedy is ended.
