John Richardsou, . we'll known, high
" esteemed and prosperous farmer ten
miles south Of Beatrice. fell from his
moving machine while returning from
near Blue Springs, Saturday afternoon,
and was run over, sustaining injuries
which resulted in his death Monday
morning. He w1s found on the road by
the neighbors IN hour after tho accident,
and the team was quietly grazing abort
distance away. Richardson was uncon-
scious, and remained in that condition
until Sunday, but he was unable to tell
how the accident occurred. His lower
extremities were completely paralyzed.
He suffered no pain, but passed away
peacefully.
A man was found lying beside tho
Union Pacific track about 8 O'Clock Sun
day afternoon, two miles west Of Ames.
Although unconscious, he is still living,
and ia now at the st. Julien hotel in
Fremont, under the care Of Drs. Abbott
and Devries, Who consider his recovery
improbable. On his person was found q
professional card of Dr.. Albert Pole,
Portland, Ore, a fine gold watch and
chain, $16 in money, and the unused
part of an excursion ticket from Port
land to Chicago and return. The man
is we'll dressed, and evidently about
sixty years OF age, and, being in his
stockings without shoes, the supposition
is that he was q passenger on the train
which passed Fremont at 1910 Saturday
night.
Ten years ago Tom Farrage dug o
sixty foot we'll on tho farm OF T. j. Funk,
and it has always furnished plenty OF
water until this year. Last week Mr..
Funk had Tom dig it deeper, until he
was satisfied there would be plenty Of
water, but Tom thought he would take
a well augur and bore down . little
further. When down about twelve fest
he pulled the augur out and q stream OF
water spouted forth eighteen inches
above the main body of water. Since
that time the water in the we'll has been
in constant motion, boiling and making
q roaring noise, and the water has been
80 roily that it is unfit for use. Whether
the phenomenon will result in q gas we'll
or the water get clear again is now agi-
tating the mind Of Mr.. Funk.1Madi-

It has long been supposed by many
that the only real Indian battle and
burying ground in the county was
located on the hill south of Linwood,
but such is not the case. The ''old
timers" will remember that there arc
two or three places along the old gov
eminent road where in an early day In
dian graves were found, and arrow and
spear heads, beads, skulls and bones
were strewn in liberal quantities. There
is an Indian burying ground on Bone
Creek near the farm Of j. Crocker, to
which the Pawnees paid annual visits
for years after the first settlers came,
and which remains undisturbed to this
day. These different 'Eland marks now
nearly obliterated by time, doubtless
contain many volumes of unwritten his
tory, together with the scalps OF many
adventurous white men, and although
the years have passed away, still serve
as food for the curious relic-hunter.-

Some three or four weeks ago the
eight or nine years old daughter of Geo.
Bardeen, who lives just west Of the city,
was bitten by q pup belonging to the
family, and died Tuesday evening with
all tho symptoms OF rabies. DR.. Cook
was called to attend the little girl, and
at once told her parents that il she had
been bitten by dog he would say that
she was q victim Of hydrophobia, but
they at first said she had not been bit
ten but finally remembered that their
own dog had bitten her. About the
same time q cat and calf were bitten
by the same dog, and about q week ago
the cat died, and Tuesday evening the
calf died, the same evening that the
death Of the little girl occurred. Mr..
Bardeen was also bitten on the back OF
the hand by the same dog, but 20 far has
not suffered any Inconvenience from tho
wound. The funeral of the little girl oc-
CURED yesterday. This is another argu-
ment in favor Of clearing the city Of
worthless ours which run through the
streets. The lives Of every dog in the
city are nothing compared with q human
being. Kill the accursed dogs and save
the lives Of your children, and perhaps
your own.-iDavid City Tribune.
A bad accident occurred on the B. &
NJ. fifty miles north Of Alliance near the
new tunnel Saturday night, Aug. "a.
Beyond Alliance the track is new, and
construction trains only run over it thus
far. In making these trips the train
goes with the engine ahead, and in re-
turning the engine pushes the cars. Sat-
urday night, while making the return
trip, the first and second cars were
thrown from the track near Belmont, by
q plank across the ties. A number of
railway employees and working men were
sitting on the cars, and when the latter
left the track, they were thrown violent
ly to the ground. Altogether eleven men
were seriously injured. None Of the men
have yet died, and it is not thought that
