There was one man IN that col,prega-

An Indian, Pretty Johnny by name,
was shot at RUBY ranch on the 1lth
inst, by WIN. P. Beers, the owner OF
the ranch. From all we can learn
Mr.. Beers was justitable, the Indian
having drawn knife aud pistol on
him, which he would have no doubt
used lad not Mr.. Beers shot when he
did. 1t appears that there was a
camp of Indians near the residence
OF Mr.. Beers. Their -four having been
exhausted, this Indian came to the
house to buy some, and in the trade
for the same became quite impudent.
Mr.. Beers demonstrated with him,
when the In liam drew his knife and
pistol as above stated. 1t was thought
at first that one more good Indian
had been made, but the red skin is
alive and kicking less an eye and
nose. A statement of the affair was
sent to the commanding officer at
McDermit by persons who were there.
- Avalanche.

from the San Francisco Examiner:
"The Supervising Architect recon-
mends that special appropriation of

a mistake. An appropriation has

A TERRIBLE FALL.-Early last Thurs
day morning, while long train was
passing through the tunnel at East
Dubuque. H., il broke in two. After
passing through the tunnel and before
running on the bridge it is custom
with engineers to stop their train in
order that they may satisfy themselves
that everything is safe and the draw is
closed, and watchmen are stationed at
all times on the bridge to prevent acct
dents. 1t is claimed that the detached
part of the train which comprised all but
three cars which remained attached to
the engine, pushed the engine and for
ward cars so it was impossible to stop
them. The draw being open the train
went on. The fireman, seeing the
danger, jumped off on the bridge and
was not injured, but the engineer re-
NAMED on the engine, which moment
later plunged through the open draw,
followed by two box cars loaded with
merchandise. The third car came very
nearly following, the forward trucks
going over. when the coupling broke
and it was left hanging over the ends of
the rails. The distance from the track
on the bridge to the river belowis about
twenty-five or thirty feet The engineer
went down with his engine, followed by
the two loaded freight cars. As the en-
CINE went down, the cab on the engine
broke loose and tloated down the river
with the engineer clinging to it, and he
was rescued by some men who went out
to him in a skiff. His only injury is
slight cut above one of his eyes.

ST. CLEMENTS CHURCH.-The work
on the new Roman Catholic, church IN
this city is making commendable pro-
gress. The spire is completed and work
on the outside is about all done. Lath-
ers are at work making ready for the
plasterers, who viii commence the plas
tering this week, and unless the wealth
er is very inclement the church will be
all finished and ready to be conse-
Grated in about thirty days. The sash
for the windows have been fitted and
sent to Chicago to have the stained
glass put in, which will cost about 3d.,
600 The whole edifice will be warmed
by furnace from the basement, and it is
not improbable that gas machine will
be placed in and the edifice lighted by
gas, and town clock placed in the
tower; but these last two matters are
not decided upon and are wholly de-
pendent upon circumstances. Father
Barth, while IN jamestown last week,
received contributions to the amount of
5000 from the Menomonee Church, of
Keller, of which Father Albers is pastor,
toward the building fund of st. Glenn
ent's Church 1t was graceful act for
the Keller church to assist their strug-
Cling sister church in their great efforts
to build the church in Lancaster free
of debt, and the spirit of encourage
mcnt and good will thus shown them is
most praiseworthy.
