Cruel Car Wheels Crush Out a
Young Life.
A frightful accident occurred on the
Chicago, st. Paul & Kans as City rail
way near the Fairfield avenue crossing
in West st. Paul yesterday afternoon.
Mamie Kelly, the thirteen-year-oid
daughter of Patrick Fl. Rely, who
lives in the Meyer block on Dakota
avenue, was down among the railway
tracks gathering chips for fuel. She
stepped from between two freight cars
on a side-track out onto the
main track just in time to be borne
down by the o'clock motor engine.
The child was drawn under the guards
and dragged about seventy feet, her
body being literally ground to pieces
under the cruel wheels, fragments of
flesh covering the ground over which
she was drawn, and when the locomo-
tive was stopped nothing remained but
shapeless mass of the little girl who
but moment before skipped along the
track SO blithe and free. The DucaS
street patrol wagon was called and the
remains. which were collected on rub
Der blanket, were taken to the city
morgue, the parents of the child both
being away from home, engaged in their
daily laborS. From the morgue the re-
mains were removed to Mccarthy d
Donnelly'S undertaking establishment.
An inquest will be held Monday morn
Ing at 10 O'Clock.

A GERMAN GIRLS SAD FATE.

While out shooting in the 'North woods" in Ellington, about four miles from Rockville, Thursday afternoon, Frank Prescott and O. A. Merrick ran across the remains of woman. The body had evi- dently been there for weeks and was much decomposed. They at once notified Coro- ner Phelps at Rockville, who viewed the body that night. The body lay in the woods about three miles northeast of the village of Ellington and near the old ''saw mill road" It was about 300 feet from the "Fiotow place, occupied by William Hess, and an equal distance from the road, under @ huge chestnut tree, in a gully washed by the water that at times ran into the swamp below. Nearly all the flesh had fallen or been gnawed from the body by animals. Not particle of flesh re- mained on the head. The fingers of the left hand had fallen of, while little re- mained of the right hand. Both hands ton of the body was made for evidence of foul play, but none could be found. The skull bore no evidence of 8 blow.
 The remains were identified as those of Minnie Plefka, German girl, % years old, who lived with her uncle, August Scherwitzky, on New England avenue, and mysteriously disappeared from her home on the 10th of last February. She had been in this country only since the week before Christmas. Since she had been here she had been very Respondent, and frequently had wept days at time. Suspicion had been awakened in the fami- ly that on the voyage to this country she had been wronged. She had a brother in this country who at the time of her disap- pearance was employed in Willimantic, but is now tailor in the employ of Will liam A. Howell of Rockville. She also had cousin, Mrs. Frank Say, daughter of Scherwitzky. On the day mentioned she dressed herself in heavy clothes, bor- rowed shawl from her aunt, and started to call on her cousin, whs lived on Village street. She was never seen again. There was heavy snow falling when she started out. The clothing on the body was identi. tied by the uncle. She wore when she left cheap silver ring on her right hand, but the ring cannot be found near the place where the body lay. She was de- scrabed at the time of her disappearance as pretty with black hair, black eyes and livery red cheeks, and five feet in height. She could not speak English.
 l Coroner Phelps is of the opinion that in fit of despondency she wandered to this

LOCAL TOPICs-PENN'D AND .sCIssORED

Last week we gave sketch of the late Capt. Chauncey Paulof Union in which it was incidentally mentioned that Mrs. Paul was an Armour, and aunt of the widely known Armour brothers of the west. The grandfather of Mrs. Paul was James Ar mour, who was born in the north of Ire land of Scotch ancestry. He came first to Philadelphia, later to Union, with other Scotch Irish ,emigrants, many of whom were among the'e first settleFs of Union. John Armour, his son, was born in Union in" 1765, and one Of children, and was the father himself of children, among them Polly, who married Captain Paul, and Dan- forth, father of the Armour boys, now so widely known. John Armour removed to Stockbridge, N. Y., in 1920, where all his children were born.
 It IS fair to assume that young Danforth had lost his heart to-a Yankee bass before removing to N. Y., as in 1925 he married Julia Brooks of Ashford, who: was an aunt of Hon. E. 4. Buck of Willimantic and grand aunt of Geo. E. Buck of Stafford Springs. The children of Danforth and Julia were 8 in number, six being boys. They were born in humble circumstances, and their early days were those of toll ahd frugalty. They worked upon the Erie canal as driv- CTS, and, as one of the brothers once told W. M. Oorbin, had slept in nearly every barn between Albany and Buffalo.
 The family afterwards removed to Wis consin. The brothers are established in diff ferent cities under various firm names, but all connected together. Their principal business is the slaughtering of animals, and the wholesaling of meat, which is shipped to all parts of the country in re- frigerator cars, also the preparing of salt and corned meats, lard, hams, etc. At Kansas City they have large banking house under the name of Armour & Bro., having at times a deposit account of $2, ,OOO, 900. Their New York house has the title of H. O. Armour < Co.,, in Chi cago the house is Armour & Co.,, in Ksn- sas City, the business, aside from banking, is done under the title of Armour X Plank ington, in MiIwaukeeit it is Plankington & Go. The different brothers engaged are Herman O., New York;, Phillip D.. (Chi- cago), Simeon, B.. (Kansas City), Andrew the six brothers are dead, one, Charles E. dying in the service of his country in '63. No one of the name of Armour is now liv. ing in Union. ,:

Central Africa Is the finest hunting coun. try in the world. Here are the elephant, the buffalo, the lion, the leopard, the rhi- noceros, the hippopotamus, the girafiee, the hyena, the eland, the zebra, and end less species of small deer and antelope. Then the whole country is covered with traps to catch these animals-deep pits, with jagged stake rising up in the mid dle, the whole roofed over with turf and grass, so exactly like the forest bod that only the trained eye can detect their pres. ence. have found myself walking un- consciously on a narrow neck between two of these pits, when couple of steps to either side would have been almost certain death.

HOW TO MOVE A BALKY HORSE

How to move balky horse has long been an unsolved problem. The ancient philosophers tackled it and generally re. tired from the field with broken shms or their front teeth kicked in by a Greek horse.
 The other day a reporter saw n fine, se-colored animal geared to a styliah turnout on Broadway, with eight or ten men trying to get him to move on. One man had him by the bit, another by the tail, a couple of men put their shoulders against his ribs and heaved as if they were trying to propel flat boat, but the animal was as immovable as civilization in China
 When everybody was in despair the proverbial stranger appeared, and, step ping out of the crowd, said to the driver in tones as smooth as castor oil
 "Ill show you how to make that horse go."
 The driver retired, and the stranger grabbed the horse confidently by the mouth, opened it as if it were bank vault, monkeyed around with the insides of the animals jaw for few minutes, then seized the beast by the bridle, and to the 7x9 as- tonishment of the crowd, watching the boys with their hands on their watches, the horse started of at a five-mile- an hour
 
 perfect ease.
 The success of the strangers method of persuading a balky horse to resume his journey without further deliberation was so surprising that the reporter asked the stranger how he did 1t.
 "Its very simple, " said the horse tanning magician. "Of course you didn't see me. but took chip of wood, which picked up from the sidewalk, and placed 1t under the horses tongue. The presence of that bit of pine chip diverted the horses atten. tion. He forgot all about being balky. He was thinking of Henry George or the new baths in the produce exchange and when took hold of the bridle he started of like any other horse, and have no doubt he is now mad enough to kick him. self because he did it. A horse is a cu- rious brute-as peculiar as a woman, a regular coquette on four legs-but easy enough to manage if you know how to do it. "-NeaO York Telegram.

Rev. MT. Lee of Monson is recovering from his injuries received on the Fourth, and it has been found possible to save not only his hand but the badly laceratod thumb. He has lost the first finger, how ever, and part of the second. The wounds in his shoulder and face have also healed satisfactorily. He has been attended by Drs. Ellis and Fuller of Monson, and Flynn and Holbrook of Palmer, and has had the constant care of his mother and sister. No doubt his own grit and the sympathy of the whole community have speeded his cure. Bishop O'Reilly has been to see him, and many of his protest ant friends have called to offer assistance. No pastor has done more for the town than Father Lee, and his genial presence was everywhere welcome. It was his solic- tude for his people that led him Co pick up the cannon cracker which threatened to harm little girl, at his church picnic, and thereby receive his distressing injuries.

place and into the woods and pcrisbed He will render a verdict to that effect. The uncle is not so easily satisfied. He claims that she was enticed away by two Rockville men, whose names he gives, but the evidence he has is of no value at all. Frederick Plefka, the brother, says that she had been asked by several parties to enter their employment as housekeeper. Her uncle would not allow this. Plefka thinks she met these men, went to Filing ton with them, remained there for a time, and that she perished, later, in an attempt to return. The place where she was found is near lane running north from Mir. Hess's house, but separated from it by q fence. If coming from Rockville she must have climbed this fence or wandered down into the swamp and back on the other side of the fence. MT. Hess's family know nothing of the affair.
