market BOmb-ThroW err ~he Secret Of
the Hidden Bombs.
CHICAGO, June 29.-"The man who
threw the bomb is dead:''
This startling remark WAS made to q
reporter by Oscar Neebe, one of .he eight
men now arraigncd in Judge Gary's
court for completely In the Haymarket
riots.
at Is no WONDER" he continued, ''that
the police have not found him. I did
not know at the time who threw the
terrible missile, but have
taken every means to find
out, and my opportunities are superior to
those of tho police. The man who threw
the bomb was RheinhOld Kruger, who
tried to kill officer Michael Madden the
day after the ,Havmarket riot, and who
was fatally shot by Madden. Kruger
was driven to desperation by the deed
that he had done on the night of May 1.
All that night he and q companion
spent in the saloons in
Milwaukee avenue drinking hard.
They were armed, and on Wednesday
Kruger was heard to say in one Of these
places that he waS determined to kill the
first policeman he met and die with him.
He feared capture and hanging, and made
up his mind to die with his boots on"
This remarkable story led to an tnves-
tigatiOn of Krue.er's record. William
Seliger, the indicted man, who will give
States evidence. says that Kruger was
one Of the conspirators present ut the Sc
cret meeting held on West Lake street
on the night of May 8. Lingg. Engel,
Fischer, Hirschcbcrgcr and APPEL were
there. 1t was ut this meeting
that the plot was laid. The in
vestigation made bv States Attorney
Grinnell and Captain Setback revealed
the fact that Kruger was one Of the most
radical of the Anarchists, and constant
inciter to offensive action. HIS name
was found among the list in the Arbeiter
Zeitung Office. He was q single man,
born in Germany, twenty-five years old,
five feet nine inches in height and
light complexion. He did not look
like labOring man. This
description agrees in every way with the
description which JnO. Bernet gives of
the man who threw the bomb. Neither
Fischer nor Schnaubelt answers that de-
scripiion. Kruger was tanner. He
was known to be engaged with Louis,
Lingg and two other men in the manu-
facture of dynamite and bombs. He at
tended the Haymarket meeting with Boeg.
After the terrible affair there, all the
four cOnspiratOrs secreted themselves,
and left their homes or hiding places only
when dragged forth by the police. Borg
went ON debauch as described.
A few days after Kruger was shot,
some friends removed two trunks from
his room to a house near RObey street
and Bloomington road. Two weeks
later thirty loaded dynamite
bombs were found under a
sidewalk at that point. The police said
that they had evidence to convince them
that the bombs had been carried in one of
Krueger's trunks from Krueser's room,
but they declined to make this evidence
public.

SEVERE HAll.STORM.

Scores OF Dakota Farmers Left Destitute
as tho Effect Of y Furious Hail-St0rm.
GRAFTON, OAK, June 29.-One of the
most destructive hail-storms that ever
occurred in the Northwest has Just been
reported from Walsh and Grand Forks
counties, in Dakota. Lack of telegraphic
facilities has delayed reliable news of the
disaster. The track of the storm covered
width of two miles, and extended for
more than twenty miles. At lnkster, in
Grand Forks County, it extended over u
width of more than four miles. The
destruction is great, crops in the storm
devastated district being almost entirely
wiped out. This is in the heart of the
finest belt in Dakota. A Norwegian
church four miles from Grafton in Walsh
County. was blown TO pieces and con-
vcrted into kindling wood, and hailstones
the size of nuts could be gathered up
with shovel thirty hours after the
storm. Scores of farmers are left desti.
tute. The damage in the district SO far
rs reported Is thought to be not less than
$500 900. Later intelligence will prOba-
bly, show the disaster to be greater than
Is now estimated.

PARIS, June SO.-Thirty thousand peo-
pie went to witness the performances in
the immense bull circus at Mines, in the
department of Gard. The entertainment
had been extensively advertised to be
given under electric lights. The lights
went out soon after the performances be-
gan, and, owing to the defective appar-
atus, could not be relit. The people be-
came enraged aud began riOiing. They
tore down the fittings of the circus and
made bonfire in the arena of them and
the furniture. Troops had TO be called
to restore order, which they only sue
ceeded IN doing after desperate conflict
with the people.

upon President Cleveland, their object
being to obtain from him positive an.

UvALDE, Tex, June 30.-Thc west
bound passenger train over the Sunset
route reached terc cn time this morning,
long before d:y ard sfier q short wait,
Numbered on In the darkness. The train
was fast one. The road was rough,
and the nodding passengers chung
to their seats with both hands.
Many seats were occupied by men
and women, and M toward the forward
enc Of the coach sat pair Of quiet, blan-
keted figures, Mexicans. They had moth
ing to say, and beyond getting up few
times to light cigarettes, did not move.
Just before daylight the train pulled up
at the little wayside station Of Cline,
twenty miles west of here. The train
stopped Just minute, but long enough
to allow deputy Sheriffs Baylor and
NimmO to spring aboard. As their feet

open the door and throwing down
q couple of revOlvers on
their prey, ordered them to
throw up their hands. There was only
q single lamp swinging in the car. The
sleepy passengers heard the curt demand.
and looking forward in the dim light saw
the shrouded forms spring hastily up, the
blankets fall from their shoulders and
the ball began.
There was an incessant explosion shat
In the cramped and confined space of the
coach sounded terrific. The officers
stood with their backs to the door and
worked their revOlvers for life.
The desperadoes-on standing full
In the middle of the aisle, the
other with one hand resting carelessly
on the back of seat and swearing shrilly
in Spanish-were envelOped In the smoke
of their own reviewers. Amid the rip
ping of plush and tinkle of shivering glass
the screaming and covering men saw the
tall form in the aisle plunge backward
TO the floor dead man. The other des-
peradO, wounded, one hand pressing his
side, the other holding his empty re-
volver over his head, with a yell
burst by the officers through the
door and leaped to the ground.
Day had broken. and the slowing
train came to stop. One OF the officers
sprang after the fleeing, staggering figure
and called on it to halt. 1t turned and
snapped the empty weapon at its pursucr.
Then it went down with bullet IN the
breast.
The officers took an inventory of them
selves. Though bleeding slightly in sew
cral places, they were unhurt, but their
clothing hung in tatters. Baylor. who
stood nearest the Mcxicans, had his
clothes literally ribbcned; his hands
and the side of his neck were powder.

so severely. The names of the MeXi-

IMPORTANT TO WICHITA.

A dispatch from Little Rock to the

Little Rock, Mississippi River d Texas
railroad has been bought by Jay Gould.

ton among the bankers and jobbers of that
city. This road, which has lately been in

who with his associates last winter secured
a right of way through the Territory up
the Arkansas valley 1t seems the attempt
was made also last week by the Missouri
Pacific to purchase the other end Of the
line reaching from Little Rock to Fort
Smith. This movement may prove of the
utmost importance to Wichita, especially

ANTHONY BOOMS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The citizens of Anthony are jubilant
over their prospects for railroads. The
laying of the track on the Fl. Scott extern
sion is being pushed rapidly. A charter
has been granted to build line of railway
from Hutchinson south through Kingman,
Anthony and on south through the Terri
tory. 1t is known as the Kansas, Texas &
Mexico railroad. This will make Anthony
the great supply point of the Indian Terri
tory, and give us an outlet in the south-a
long felt want Another road will be
built from Wellington to this place over
the abandoned grade of the Santa Fe so
we are sure of three new roads, which will
make Anthony railroad center of no
small magnitude.
A company has been organized to pros
pect for coal; they are very enthusiastic
over the prospect and feel certain that they
will be successful.
We have in Harper county any amount
of the same kind of silver they have in
Caldwell, but will not open up our mines
yet little while
An opera house is to be erected here
early next summer at a cost of 500, 600.
The capital stock has all been subscribed
1t will have front of 10 feet and be 125
feet deep.
Real estate has begun to move rapidly

From the Barber Count fau,X.
The Wichita and Trinidad railroad sur
veyors, with Joseph BroadduS. chief in
charge, arrived her yesterday. having com
pleted the survey into this city The first
line ran from Wichita to Norwich and
from there directly here The second and
last survey goes from Harper to Norwich
and from Harper here. almost on a direct
line. The two surveys meet one mile and
quarter northeast, al the bridge over Elm
creek. Mr.. Broaddus thinks either one of
the routes practical one both being free
from angles and neither having heavy
grades, forty feet 10 the mile
being the maximum. This distance 10
Wichita by either of the routes is eichty-one
miles. Whether or not any survey will ba
made west or south of here. Mr.. Broaddus
could not say. He expects Mr. II !
Simpson, the secretary. and Mr.. II Dsl.
hoff. the treasurer, 10 be here TODAY and
after they have looked over the work al
ready done. the balance of the program
will be decided upon. Here. then. will
be an opportunity, we think. to get direct
connection with Wichita, and if, As is cur
rently reported, the Wichita & Trinidad i
in fact the Rock Island system, it will be
the best connection that We could get.

THR SANITARY MEMBERS.

The funny incident connected with the
meeting of the state sanitary eonventian at
Wichita is the fact that our real estate
dealers catch each incoming delegation Of
members and take them a swing about the
city pointing out its looming indications of
coming greatness. The serious phaze of
the matter is that number of them have
caught on and want to invest. One very
prominent man of the state said to us that
he would have to turn his affairs into such
a shape as to enable him to make at least
one investment in Wichita The mer!di-
ans magical mascot, the peerless princess
of the plains gathers them in,
