A Railroad EmpIoye Badly Crushed
BY the Cars.
The Danger of Standing on the
Railroad Tracks.
An Unfortunate Loses an Arm and
Perhaps His Life.

A serious. if not fatal accident occurred
in the railroad yards in this city yesterday
morning. The victim is a car repairer
known as "Frenchy." and whose name is
given on the rolls of the company as John
Scharff. 1t is stated from a reliable source
that his true name is John De Belport,
and the fact that he is a Frenchman rather
adds to the probability that De Belport is
his name.
Widely different accounts Of the
accident are given by eye witnesses.
Some state that the man was I'M
der a car examining a brake beam
when the switch engine backed down
against the car, but Others give a more
probable account of the accident as fol-
lows:
The man was standing on one of the
yard tracks directly south of the east end
Of the Railroad hotel. A train Of freight
cars was passing westward along a track a
few feet south of the one on which he
stood. While his attention was diverted
by the train, switch engine No. 1897 came
toward the eastern end Of the yard, push
ing two freight cars. His back was toward
these and the noise Of the passing train
prevented him from hearing their ap-
proach. The drawhead struck him be-
tween the shoulders, and one car and the
front trucks ofthe rear car passed over
him. lie was also rolled about fifteen
ieet beneath a brake beam and would have

denly stopped.

OIL ROOM but subsequently was takensto a
room at the eastern end OF the hotel. His

The Miles City Stock journal gives the
following reports regarding the condition
of Texas cattle on the northern ranges.
The reports speak for themselves:
Mr.. Nathan Hockeit, Of Powder river,
was in town the first of the week, and
left on Tuesday night for Minneapolis.
Mr. Hockett reports stock on the Pow
der river ranges doing nicely, with every
prospect ola satisfactory calf crop. The
past winter, although cold. he thinks
the most favorable n for stock he has
seen in the territory, the snow being
light and grass easily obtainable. Mr..
Hockett says the talk about a ; to 10 per
cent loss is MI bosh so far as it applies 10
his locality, as it will not reach anything
like wen the lesser figure.
j. ii. Carter, of the Niobrara Cattle
company, was in Glendive Saturday for
the first time since last fall. Mr.. Carter
says their cattle were Texas rawhides, ones
and twos, which were put on the Red
Water range on the Sth Of last September,
and that while a few of them are thin, the
majority are in good fix. The yearlings,
Mr.. Carter says, are looking fully as well
as the two year-olds, which is something
unusual for this country. Their horses
were brought from old Mexico last season.
but have come through the winter in good

The Intelligent compositor' has many
sins to answer for in this world, and his
fate in the world to come is a matter Of
narrowing uncertainty. Occasionally he
grasns a disagreeable fact with his mighty
mind and instantly il issues from his in
tellectual mill as a pleasing and fairy-like
fiction. For example: An item is going
the rounds that Mercy Small, a ballet
girl Of the Mapleson Opera company, died
in San Francisco the other day. She
caught cold at Cheyenne and wa i'll the
remainder of the journey. She was IL
years old" That is the way it goes.
Who ever saw a ballet girl only l6 years
old2 Everybody who knows anything
about the ballet or the Mapleson company
knows that the item referred to should
read: SHE was only 81 years ef age and
was one of the most promising members
of the troupe. Although so young she
had already achieved quite a reputation
and even ranked with older and more
mature artists"

Not Dynamite.

Judge James A Bean received a very
suspicious looking box through the mail
yesterday. The box itself was merely a
common pasteboard affair which. had seen
life as a Sozodont box, but the manner in
which it concealed its contents yesterday
was quite suspicious. After numberless
folds of cotton and other wrappers had
been removed, the cartridge was found.
1t was about two inches long, and judging
from external appearances was loaded to
the muzzle. But it WASH dynamite. Ii
was a little piece Of ''statuary," which
called to mind the old familiar refrain:
"Xho took me from my wnrm Nnrna cntL.

fine match the other day at clay birds

Messrs. Boulter and Bergersen made each
ten straight, and Messrs. Channel,
Thayer and johnson caught a tie at the
eight mark. AT the glass trap Bergersen
scored eight, Thayer seven, and Boulter,
johnson and Channel broke six each. All
of the matches were ten shots, single bar

A Raid ON the Larder.

Mr.. John Phillips. section foreman on
the Denver Pacific, received the attention
of nocturnal callers late Wednesday night.
He buys his provisions by the wholesale,
and his cellar was well stocked. It was
better supplied before the callers came
than it is now. The thieves secured a case
of eggs, two large iirkins of butter, several
hams, two or three sacks of -four and
some other supplies. There is at present
no clue to the robbers.

Armstrong COnfesses To Shooting
 His Stepfather In Self Defense.
 BROOKLYN, Aug. 12.-Thomas Armstrong to-day confessed to the murder of his step father, Albert R. Herrick, in his home here. Mrs. Sammis, who saw the man escape over the wall, went to the station house this morning to identify him. Armstrong was placed among number of other prisoners Mrs. Sammis could not say positively, but thought he resembled the man whom she saw creeping along the wall after the murder had been committed. Early this morning Armstrong admitted to Detective Chambers that he was in the house at the time of the murder. He said he shot his stepfather. He
 fired revolver at him under the steps of the cellarway. When he saw his stepfather run back up the stairs, fearing that his aim had been imperfect he fired again. He claims that the shooting was in self-defeuce; that his stepfather had chased him into the cellar, where he attempted to strike him and that he then shot him. Afidavits setting forth the above facts, sworn to by the detectives fession, were presented in the police court to- day when Armstrong was arraigned, end Judge Walsh remanded the prisoner to jail to await the action of the grand jury
 The pistol with which Thomas J. Arm strong shot his step father, A. J. He1rick, was found this afternoon Armstrong in his confession to the police told them that after leaving the scene of the tragedy he went to the pier of the Annex boat and seeing no one looking dropped the pistol overheard. From the minute description of the spot given by the young man the police found no trouble in locating it. They engaged young boy, who after diving off the pier several times came up with the pistol in his hand

 The Discharge ef Special Inspectors.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The recent action of the Treasury department in reducing the force of special inspectors of foreign steam vessels to one-half the present number is due to the fact that the inspection service has diminished in about that ratio since the force was organized by Secretary Folger. The number of steam vessels to be inspected is only one-half of what it was when the in- spectoIs were appointed. This explanation is made at the Treasury department so that the fact that 8 number of officers were dis missed may be properly understood and not considered as refecting in any way upon their ability or integrity:

A Convict Kills His Sister.

PLATTE Cry, Mo, Aug. 12--Last Sunday night an escaped convict from the Tennessee penitentiary named Minott shot and killed Mrs. William Maggott of this city, who was a relative of his. The deed was done in re- venge because Maggott and his wife had given information as to Minotts whereabouts which led to his extradition. He managed to escape his guard and making his way here called Mrs. Villette to her door and shot her dead. The people are aroused and large numbers are in pursuit with a lynching in prospect. The matter has been kept quiet, fearing that it's publication would assist Minott in escaping. -
