HORRIBLE FOR HUFF
a Young Man Terribly Mangled
While Attempting to Board
q Moving Train.

About $50 o'clock last evening, Edward
Hut, young man formeraly employed as
swltchman In the yards at this place, me,
with an accident resulting in very serious
and perhaps what may prove to be fatal in
juries.
Huff was at the Garrison house when the
local freight train from the west arrived.
He attempted TO board the engine in order
to ride 10 East Sedalia, where he resides.
He missed his hold and the tender
struck him, causing him to
fall in such position that
his head was struck by the brake beam of
the FIRST car in the train. He was swung
around under the cars where his body en-
countered another brake beam and he was
way OF the train, thus preventing his body
from being mutilated in horrible manner.
The young man was picked up in a
partially unconscious condition and con-
veyed to the Office of Drs. Small & Son.
Upon examination it was found that there
was CHASTITY wound in the head over the
right eye, the skull being laid open to the
brain. The right jaw was terribly swollen
and the wounds bled profusely. The young
man was rendered every a1tention and
every relief was afforded him that
medical skill can devise. He lay in a
comatose condition in the office OF the Drs-
Small for several hours and about O'Clock,
was removed to the railroad hospital. The
doctors are as yet unable to determine
the extent of the wounded mans injuries,
but his condition is regarded as very criti-
cal. In addition to his external wounds,
it is thought that he may be injured inter.
nally.
A large crowd surrounded DR.. Small's
Office for several hours. all anxious 10 get
a glimpse of poor Huff and it was with diff
iculty that the policemen kept the side
walk clear.

Officials From Ne.

Several weeks ago officials in this city re-
ceived communications from authorities
in Falls City, Neb., requesting the arrest
OF Charles FrederIcks, wanted In that city
for forgery.
Our officers kept sharp lookout and
finally located Fredericks in the Missouri
Pacific Offices, where he was employed as
an accountant and going under the name
of Fontsine. The Nebraska authorities
were notified and yesterday the sheriff and
deputy of Falls City arrived here and ar
rested the young man, who was placed in
the county Jail.
The Nebraska sheriff left last night for
Jefferson City, in order to procure a requi-
sition from Governor Crittenden for Fred
ericks, alias Fontaine. He will doubt
less obtain the necessary document and re-
turn to this city tomorrow. His deputy
remained here. The prisoner will doubt
less be taken to the scene of his late crooked
exploits to-day.
charged is forgery, as previously stated.
He was law student in an attorneys office
at Falls City, Nebrask, and by his shrewd
ness and good address succeeded
in negotiating sales for large amount of
land OF which he represented himself to be
the agent and for which he executed
fraudulent deeds.
He was indicted in 1881 for forgery and
gave bond in the sum of 81 900 for his ap-
pearance when wanted. He forfeited his
recognizance and has since been fugitive
from justice.
The prospects of the enterprising young
man are very fattering for long term in
the penitentiary.
