For several days men on horseback and
in wagons have been seen fording the
South Canadian north of Purcell and
disappearing in the timber to the
eastward. Men who came in from
hunting trips reported having
seen large bodies of boomers moving in
a northeasteIly direction, and hunter,
who arrived last night, declared that he
had found man blowing in a secluded
valley about twenty miles from Pur-
cell. Yesterday morning at sunrise,
thirteen prairie SchOoners, well manned,
passed the Santa Fe tracks below the
city and forded the river. The driv-
ers urged their animals with whips
and the train was across and out of
sight before many of the residents of
Purcell were stirring. A citizen saw
them, however, and he acquainted
others who have staked out claims and
hope to occupy them soon after noon
Monday next. The story soon gained
general circulation, and before noon a
meeting was held. The feeling against
the treSpaSserS ran high. and inside of
thirty minutes half dozen

that the chief deputy marshal be called
upon to try to expel the raiders. In
the afternoon the chief deputy. accom-
panied by thirteen assistants, rode

ford. There was fresh trail leading
to the northeast, and the party followed
this at a gallop. Four miles out one of

men-a fact that was remarked upon.
The crowd numbered about 1000. and

for cheers when good point was made,
and the first game was enjoyed by
everybody. The umpiring of Kelly was
impartial, and his decisions were ac-

given. Sioux City had reason to kick

WAsHINGToN,A April 2O.-Grace Small
wood, small, weasened colored
woman, was to-day sentenced to be
hanged Oct. II next. The crime
of which she was convicted was
the murder of her illegitimate
child at its birth by tying
shoestring around its neck. Her mem
tai condition is open to doubt, and she
heard the sentence of the court without
emotion and with meaningless smile
upon her face. She says that she is glad
she is going to die; that she wants to go
to heaven and be with her child.
In passing sentence the court said that
it had reason to believe that the ex-
ecutive clemency would intervene to
prevent its execution. This is the first
time since Mrs. Surrat's trial that q
woman has been sentenced to death in
the District of Columbia.

Hardin, struck the latter blow upon

allowed in the meantime to go on his

the son, whom he undertook to punish
with shovel, and was pursuing him at

threw with such fatal results. All are

A FEARFUL RIDE.
Capers of Runaway Train on the
Duluth & Iron Range.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, April 20. - About
1880 Friday night Engineer G. Golfer,
who was running the first ore train of
the season on the Duluth q Iron Range,
found that his air brakes would not
work. This was ten miles north of Two
Harbors. He remained at his post in
the hopes that, as is often the case,
the runaway train, could be stopped
before the bottom of the heavy grade
at Two HORRORS was reached.
For five miles the train flew
at lightning pace, and at curve the
strain became too much on the driving
rods of the engine, which broke and
flew up through the cab, breaking both
of Cotrer's legs. The engine and fifteen
ore cars left the track, the latter being
piled in confusion. The caboose and
superintendent car. containing Gen
eral Superintendent Pope and Superin-
tendent of Construction McGonagle, re-
manned on the track. Engineer Cotter
was also severely scalded, but will
probably survive. 1t was several hours
before it was possible to obtain help.

of the tree claims, some of the best in
