AN ACCIDENT.
\ Buggy and Motor Car Meet" illiam Kiss
sci, John Kaufman and Others injured.

Yesterday forenoon, about 10 O'Clock,
quite an accident occurred along the line
of the Valley Center motor, just north of
the city.
The cars were all loaded with scholars
ard teachers of the German N. E church,
going up to Fishers grove to spend the
Fourth. So crowded were the cars that
many of the passeng rs were compelled 10
sit upon the platforms and on the front of
the engine. Among the latter was William
kassell, who had gone with the party to
look after and care for the children of the
school
The train had started from the depot and
was steaming away northward at pretty
good rate. When near the Burton car
works John kaufman, of North Fourth
avenue was seen. He was driving to
the pic mic in twO-seated
buggy in which were his wife, Miss
Humlke, and several children. The motor
engine whistled, but Mr.. Kaufman think
ing it was an engine on the Santa Fe near
by attempted to drive out of the way and
across the motor line. The horse had just
gotten on the track when the engine
struck him squarely in the side and hurled
him fully thirty feet.
Mr.. kassel, when he saw that collision
was about to take place, leaped from the
front OF the engine and in the fall lit upon
his arm. Picking himself up, he said that
be then passed around the end of the cars
to see if any one within was injured, aud
came up to the buggy of Mr.. Kaufman
which lay piled up along the road
side a complete wreck. The
only rart of the vehicle intact was the top
and beneath this lay Miss Hummelke and
child. both considerably stunned When
Mr. kassell attempted TO lift the top he
found that his right arm hung limp and
useless by his SIDE and thus for the first
found out that he was injured.
The injured parties were brought down
to the motor station and from there TO
their homes where medical assistance was
summoned Mr.. Kaufman was quite
seriously if not fatally hurt; his
injuries were internal and the exact
extent was yesterday not known. Miss
Hummelke had her ankles sprained, and
several of.the children and Mrs Kaufman
suffered more or less from the accident.
Mr. Kassell's arm was not broken, as at
first feared, but only badly sprained and
bruised: he was, however, suffering great
pain yesterday afternoon.
To those who saw the accident it seemed
almost a miracle that al in the buggy
were not killed, for the vehicle was not
only hurled with great force for some dis
lance, but was literally smashed to pieces.

SHE WANTED BLOOD.

Quite an excitement was created last
night about II o'clock by an attempted
shooting al the Citizen bank corner. From
the statements made last night there ap-
pears to be woman in the case. She lives
on West Douglas avenue and says she had
been insulted by Nutshell Bill" a man
doing business at the West End To
avenge her wrongs she started out about 9
o'clock looking for him. and declared that
she would shoot the blankety blank blank

her own she hunted up her Teller. one Lew
Eberts. who has one, and again
renewed the search. They met
the object of their wrath az the
corner aud Eberts drew his shooting iron,
intending to end the matter there. Just
then, however, Officer Fenner, with reck
less disregard of the needs Of the police re-
porter, grabbed the gun. and thus all1hat
remains 70 be said Of what would other
wise have been an excellent news item, is
that Eberss was locked up in the city
prison, and viii this morning answer to
TWO charges, disturbing the peace and car
rying concealed weapons. She went home
still unavenged.

Last night man approached Officer Joe
Stewart, and feeling through his pockets,
exclaimed, well, that's lucky" What s

that Teller PICK my pocket But I had
spent all my money but a quarter, and all
he got was that and an old pocket knife "

taken By one of the light fingered gentry.

NOT THAT KIND OF A PLACE.

ANY one who may have thought that
John Fisher did not intend TO rigidly en-
force his orders regarding the keeping OF
his park free from intoxicants and disrep-
utable characters would have been disa-
bused of that opinion had they been there
yesterday.
From the movements of certain persons,
as well as the string Of men who seemed
to be going 20 certain place in the woods,
John was led TO believe that beer was be
ing sold there He followed the crowd and
sure enough he found man with q two
horse wagon load of beer driving quite a
good trade. He Immediately arrested the
fellow and took charge of his stock in
trade to turn it over TO the state.

HOW THEY DEALT WITH BIN.

Last evening on the train from Anthony
was a man considerably under the infiu-
ence of liquor. From the first he became
very noisy, and not meeting with much
opposition, he soon grew very abusive.
So insulting did he become that the ladies
in the car left it for another, and two or
three men who had wives on the train,
took the matter in hand and told the fell
low to be quiet. Refusing to do this, they
stopped the train and put Linn off. One OF
his drunken friends interfered snd he was
struck in the mouth, and afterwards ke
