UNDER THE WHEELS.
E. f. Cassell, of Illinois City Cut to

In Davenport, on Saturday afternoon
about five o'clock, occurred the death, by
accident, of E. f. Cassell, prominent
citizen of Illinois City, in this county
The dreadful affair happened at the Perry
street depot. in attempting to board a
moving freight train, on which he in
tended to reach Fairport, Iowa. and then
cross the river to Illinois City. He was
informed by the ticket agent and also by
the conductor, that the eaboose did not
stop at the depot, and that he had better
get on before the train started. He did
moi heed the warning, however, and said,
ooh, can get on all right. The terrible
scent that was witnessed few minutes
later told how fearfully he was mistaken
When the train started Cassell waited
until the caboose came along. Although
the train was not going rapidly, when he
reached for the front guards OF the ca
boose, he miss ed his hold, and in An. in
stant was under the wheels, which passed
over him diagonaHy cutting of his left
arm below the elwow, and crushing of
his right leg below the thigh and again
below the knee Meantime his writings
were horrible as the truck of the cal
bumped over him, as though he had beer
an inanimate log, while the wheel,
crunched his bones and tore flesh ant
l-clothing from his body. His frantic cries
too, made the sight all the more blood
curdling. The casualty occurred on The
west bound track, or second track from
the depot bnildiug, at a spot upon The
passenger platform nearly directly oppo
site the door of the baggage room. Thu

ately carried into the baggage room, ant

BURGLARS AT BUFFALO.
They Ransack the POstOifiee Store and
Seer~e Considerable Booty.

At an early hour Sunday morning, a
daring robbery was committed in the town
of Buffalo, when the hardware and dry
goods store and postoffice was entered
and robbed of all the money and stamps
that could be found. The burglars worked
so noiselessly that one of the propretors,
who slept over the store, was unconscious
of what had transpired. Dorman Bros,
owned the store, and the first intimation
they had of the affair, was from boy who
worked for them, who noticed there was
something wrong by the general appear
ance of things in'the store. An entrance
had been effected by breaking pene OF
glass in the rear of the store. After ran
sacking everything in the place,
the thieves turned their attention
to the safe. They first piled
goods on each side of it, to break the
force of the explosion. The combination
knob was then broken off with sledge
hammer, and hole drilled with round
piece of steel, and the door was blown
open by the force of the conclusion. The
burglars took from the safe about S19 in
postage stamps of different denomina-
tions, besides about 5000 in money and
old coin. An unindorsed draft for $50 and
note for $31 on Cook & Dodge, were
not molested. Besides this swag, the
crooks took some silk handkerchiefs,
ladies' gloves, and other small articles.
They then proceeded to the barn of Dr.
@. NJ. Bell, about half block distant,
and cody hitched his horse to the buggy
and drove away. The horse and buggy
were foundin an alley in Davenport this
morning, where it was left by the thieves,
