Thos. Keefe, a Union Pacific switch
man, was seriously injured in the yards
here yesterday morning, being badly
crushed between two cars. The wounded
man was resting easily at the county hos
pital at l O'Clock this morning.
Keete, who WIS assisting in making up
a train, signalled for the engine to ad-
vance and stepped between the cars. The
drawheads collided and while one re-
manned in position the other almost dis
appeared from sight. Keefe was held as
in a vice. The shouts of the unfortunate
mar and several b~ystanders attracted the
attention of the engineer and the prisoner
was soon released from his perilous posi-
ton. The injuries are about the mans
body.
All who witnessed the accident agree
that it could scarcely have been averted.

THE SOUTH SIDE FIRE STATION.
A Brief Description of New Quarters
for an Old Company.

The j.. I. Clark hose house, to be
erected at once on the corner of Warren
avenue and Eleventh streets, will be a
handsome and c~ommodious structure.
The plans show a building well adapted
for the uses of a hose company. In gen
eral contour it will resemble the Alert
quarters, but will be larger and towerless.
The building will be 5Ox22 feet, con-
structed of Fort Collins stone, Cheyenne
brick and native and Eastern lumber. Be-
meath the angle of the roof appears a
stone with the name of the company and
date of construction.
Walking up a ~sixteen-foot incline the
visitor or fireman will enter the large
double sliding doors and inspect the ap-
paratus. The central apartment is called
the assembly room, and will be used for
the holding of meetings, etc. In the
rear is a cloak room 9x163 feet.
Within its walls will be placed
beds for the %ianitor and two or
three members. The cart room is I7x2O9
feet, the assembly parlor l74xl69. Each
room in the building may be entered from
the outside.
A 4O-foot incline will be used as a hose
rack. This method of drying hose is by
many considered superior to the usage of
a tower. The water flows into a waste
pipe, thence to the gutter.
When completed, the Clark hose house
will be second only to the splendid build
ing tenanted by the Pioneer Hook and
Ladder company. The boys merit the
delayed recognition, and the South Side
has long needed proper protection from
fire.

IN TWO COURTS.
The Moon Habeas Corpus Case Be-
fore Judge Maginnis,
His Honor Refused to Release the
Alleged RustIer.
Milton Marring, Grand tarcenist,
Sent to Jail.

There was considerable legal sparring
during the hearing of the Moon habeas
case before Judge Maginnis yesterday
afternoon. His honor stated that the
territorial statute covering these processes
was rather ambiguouslY constructed and
scarcely applicable, being adapted to dis
tficts where it is incumbent upon justices
to transcribe all testimony given in their
courts.
Counsel for the prisoner sought to i'm
pose upon the prosecutor the task of
further establishing the guilt of the pris
oner. The chief Justice ruled that the di-
rect contrary must be accomplished. In
the first place suficiency of evidence was
not the issue. Was the defendant illegally
deprived Of his liberty? was the question.
In this instance a peculiar condition of af
fairs existed. 1t was incumbent upon
the party affirming a negative to prove it.
Moons attorney insisted that a different
practice had been in vogue during the ad-
illustrations of his honor's predecessors,
but of course submitted to the decision.
Judge Lee repeated the evidence offered
in his court, and the defendant was again
committed in default of $3.50 bail. Ed
ward Moon is charged with completely In
the unlawful killing of three head of neat
cattle

The $50 Check Man.

Milton Marring, charged with the theft
of $50 from a fellow workman at the
Pratt & Ferris, was given a preliminary
hearing before Judge Lee yesterday alter
noon.
Fulton, the injured party, told a simple,
straightforward story. Marring had So
licited a so loan from him. He indorsed
a $50 check and entrusted it to the pris-
oner, with the understanding that $40 was
to be returned the succeeding day. Mar
ring rode to Fort Laramie, a distance Of
fourteen miles, secured the cash and went
on a Spree. He was captured at Sidney
and returned to Cheyenne by Constable
Goddard. He did not deny committing
the ofense, but was very penitent. Incl.
dentally, it was developed that Marring
had stolen a hat prior to his departure
from the ranch.
One witness established the defendant S
good reputation previous to the transac-
ton which involved the cowboy IL trouble.
Marring was placed under 5000 bonds
and the witnesses required to furnish SINH
lar surety. The defendant was jailed.

rock with the machinery, the last yester-
day morning. Hardpan was encountered
at depths of II, 9, 6 and s feet, an aver
age of a triie less than seven feet. The
bed rock is a compact sandstone i'm
pervious to water. Prospecting occupied
two weeks under the supervision of the
special water committee.

Sheriff Sharpless left for Joliet peni-
tertiary yesterday morning with Agazzie
and Sanderson, criminals who will larry
at the great Illinois institution for several
years each.
Everetis, of the Fort Laramie quar-
tette, was to have been included
in the party. but was rescued by his
enterprising attorney, w. p. Carroll,
at the last moment. Everett sentence
has been suspended until the first day of
the next term of court, when a motion for
a new trial will be ruled upon. Another
hearing is demanded on the ground that
very important evidence has been dis
covered since sentence was pronounced.
