Fatality in War.

In paper in the Century after cit
ing some of the most severe regiment
al losses of the civil war, Colonel w.
f. Fox says: "The extent of these
losses will be better understood if COM
pared with some of the extraordinary
cases cited in the histories of other
wars. Take, for instance, the charge
of the Light Brigade at Balaklava,-
the charge of the Six Hundred. Lord
Cardigan took 673 officers and men in
to that action they lost ll3 killed and
I34 wounded; total, 247, or 36.7 per
cent The heaviest loss in the late
Franco Prussian war occurred at Mar

cent. But the 14lst Pennsylvania lost
76 per cent. at Gettysburg, while regi-
mental losses of 60 per cent. were fire.

Confederate armies. In the war for
the Union there were scores of regi-

tory, whose percentage of killed and
wounded in certain actions would far
exceed that of the much praised Light
Brigade; and nobody blundered
either.n

Night before last Officer John Knight

was a case Of restitution at the corner of

gate. They found a man, his wife and a
sick child within, and listening to the
story OF the former they each gave one
dollar TO relieve the want OF which they
had heard SO much told in such pitiful
strain.
Yesterday afternoon a boy came run
ming up to the police station and told
the officers that "a man down there was

He caught hold OF him and found that he
was in state OF beastly iItoxication. The
fellow turned upon the officer aud was
making play TO whip him when John
gave him a shove anu sent him reeling
across the room lie was too drunk TO
make any further resistance and permitted
the officer to administer undisturbed to
the wants of the woman and child. As the

STRUCK wITHA STONE.
Young Willis Wadiey Makes . savage Attack
Upon Ira Nehegan, OF the European Hotel

Yesterday. shortly after noon, young
man rushed into the Office Of the European
hotel, on East Douglas avenue, and appar-
emily without saying word to any one
threw rock at the clerk, Ira Michigan,
striking him upon his head. Mr.. Michigan
at the time was bending over the counter
| looking over some accounts which lay
spread out before him. and thus the at
tack was entirely unexpected TO him He
rolled from the stool TO the floor, the blood
gushing from long, deep cut upon the
side of the head. The stone rebounding.
struck plate glass in front, breaking 1t.
| In the meantime the boy who had thrown
| the stone, as well as two companions who
had come to the hotel with him, were max
| ing away as fast as their legs would take
them.
The injured man was carried up 70 his
room and Dr. Gray summoned to dress his
wounds. The stone had made a deep,
| ugly cut on the side OF the head,
| and while it was serious it was
| not considered fatal injury. The force
of the blow had stunned Mr.. Michigan,
and even last night he had not entirely re-
covered consciousness.
! 1t was soon discovered that the stone had
| been thrown by Willis Wadley. and that
his two companions were Charley Short
and Ed Nathan, latter generally called
/ ''Reddy." All had disappeared "Redoy''
! was arrested about o'clock and locked
| up but afterwards released 4 warrant
was sworn out at-Justice Hamnoad's for
/ Wadley's arrest, bat at late hour ne had
not been found and was believed to have
| left the city.
| Mr. Mahan, the proprietor of the hotel,
says that the only reason he could assign
| for the assault was that Wadiey had at
tempted 70 avenge fancied wrong done
| his sister by Michigan. This girl. Matte
Wadley, had been employed at the Euro
pean as waiter, and she had been charg
ed with breakage by the clerk and was fa-
ally dismissed last Saturday. Wadley
! thinking that tbs clerk was
! to blame for this, and
knowing that the two were not friend
/ ", threw the stone and punished him as
/ he did
! ''Reddy" last night told the other side
of the story. He said that few days be
fore her dismissal Matte " adley was for
! some trivial matter tweed knocked down
/ in the dining room b. Michigan and that
| sac would have been knocked down third
! time had not another waiter interferred
and prevented It. This ARRAY was kept
! from the brothers ears until yesterday
when he accideutly heard Of it. He i'm
medIately went TO his sister and upon
/ learning from her that what he had heard
was true started out 70 hunt up Michigan.
/ The two men, "Reddy" says, came with
him and endeavored all the way from
| Wadley's home Oh South Washington TO
| the hotel TO dissuade him from his pur-
| pose.
| 1t is due to Mr.. Michigan, however, to
say that he is considered quite molten
sive young man of excellent habits and
that the statement OF his assault upon
Mss Wadley is denied by Mr.. Mahan-

Such q one crossed our path or rather the

day He was a roseate youth of fair face
and TIE wide open serene blue eyes of in
nocence boasted by the profession. His
little bundle was rolled extra neat, and
about his neck was bandana scarf, neatly
held by a golden shovel. Noticing that he
nmped sadly in his off foot we suggested q
stolen ride and wreck of freight train.
He acknowledged the stolen ride.
1t was past midnight, near
Yates Center in an empty freight. where he
was discovered by a brakesmau. who
called the conductor, when they promptly
went through him, taking his seventeen
dollars and twenty-five cents, which that
corporation had paid him but the day pre-
vious. The loss of the money was not SO
much and he had no doubt that the en-
ployes Of the road stood IN great need, but
they threw him out, spraining and almost
crushing his foot and ankle. IN reply to
our suggestion that after good breakfast
