THE BOB-SLED.

Five Legs and One Arm Broken and Other
Bruises in IA Collision.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. G.-FOr the last
few weeks the young people of st. Joseph
have been indulging very extensively in
coaSting, and there has been scarce a day
during that time that. some very serious &C
cident has not been reported, and in two
instances death has resulted from the
sport The most serious accident
that has yet occurred happened
at ten O'clock last night on the
Francis street Hill, which extends from Fiji
teenth street west to Ninth street A party
of gentlemen were coming down the street
on large, bob sled when they overlook
another bob which had started few sec
Onds in advance. Ira Jackson, who was
guiding the rear sled, attempted to avoid a
collision by turning the sled out of the
usual course, but it became unmanageable
and ran into tree, severely injuring
several of tine party. Below are the
names of the injured: Ira Jackson, right
leg broken above the knee. Edward Ed
wards, right leg broken midway between
the knee and thigh; injuries probably
the most serious of all, his leg having been
broken off short, so that when ne was being
taken to his home the lower portion fell back
and lay beside his body. Miss Florence
Locke right thigh broken and head bruised.

A GRACELESS SCAMP.

A Young Man RObs His Mother and
SwindIes Other People to An Immense
Amount.
CLEVELAND. o., Feb. 6.-Little more
than year ago a young man named Ed
ward CrOwl, who engaged in bucket shop
speculatiOns in Cleveland, failed to meet a
number of notes given by him for various
sums, amounting in all to nearly a quarter
of a million of dollars. The notes were
endorsed with the name of his mother,
Harriet Crowl. She denied having Endorsed
them and accused her son of having forged
her name. Suits were filed against her by
the holders of the notes. The first of these
came to trial short time ago and the jury
decided that the Endorsement was
forged. Young CrOwl had left town
and his whereabouts were unknown, but
as soon as the decision was rendered a
warrant was sworn out, charging him with
forgery and placed him in the hands of
Detective Reeves, who traced CrOwl to
Newburg, \. Y, where he was arretted
Monday. He arrived in Cleveland yeSter-
day afternoon in charge of an officer and
was placed under SO, 900 bonds to appear in
the Common Pleas Court. Later in the
afternoon other charges of forgery were
preferred against him and his bond was
raised to $4,000. He has not yet sue
ceeded in securing bail and was sent to
Jail. The true extent of young Crowds in
fanny is almost beyond belief. His Teputa-
ton was of the highest character in
this city, and his mother as well as
his business acquaintance had the utmost
confidence in his integrity. Mrs. CrOwl en-
trusted to his care her bank book and al
lowed him to make deposits for her. Ac-
cording to the book which was shown her
by young CrOwl, there was to her credit at
the Citizens Savings and Loan Association
$50, 900, but when she called at the bank
one day found only $3.50 deposited there in
her name. Her graceleSs son had squan-
dered the money and made false
entries in her book. Mrs. Crowl then
discovered also that her son had
forged her name to notes for large amounts,
as above stated. Singular enough the young
man had victimized some of the oldest and
shrewdest banking concerns in the city. 1t
being known that he had charge of his
fathers estate his credit stood very high.
Mrs. CrOwl is left nearly penniless. CrOwl
spent the money in gambling dens and
bucket shops.

A DETERMINED effort was reported
being made to wipe out the lottery evil
in Louisville, Ky. 1t is contended that
a recent decision of the Appellate Court
in the gas matter incidentally declared
the laws which permit lottery unconsti-
tutional. In view of this fact a petit
ton has been prepared, addressed to
the Legislature of Kentucky, praying
that body to abrogate the lottery laws
of the State and thereby stamp out the
evil. A number of leading, influential,
public-spirited citizens are the prime
movers in this matter, and it is not at
all unlikely that the days of lottery in
Kentucky are numbered.
