KILLED BY A FLY.
A Case That Is Unparalleled In
Medical Science.
Maggots Devour tho Throat of Woman,
the Victim Being Literally
Eaten Alive.

Mrs. Anna Beatty, who lived with her
family in Bay View, Wis, died u most
horrible death Tuesday evening.
About two weeks ago n fly got into one
of her nostrils, and it was some time
before she was able to remove 1t, and
when she did an itching sensation re-
mained and her nose and throat
began TO swell. She became alarmed,
and week ago Sunday physician was
called. Since that time Mrs. Beatty
had been suffering in manner almost
indescribable, and the doctors say sim
liar case is unknown to medical science.
1t is stated that soon after she was talk
on sick maggots were discov-
cred in here nose and throat, and for
several days Mrs. Beatty had been unable
to swallow any thing like food. Her
death was the cause of having been lit
orally eaten up by maggots. She died
in the greatest agony, and her afliiction
was puzzle to the doctors. Upon ex-
animation of the body it was found that
the partition of her nose was gone, a
hole had been eaten through tho roof of
tho mouth, the soft palate had disap-
peared, and the throat was frightfully
eaten.

American and Canadian Indians Take Pos
session of Garden Island, In Minnesota,
and Threaten Violence.
A telegram from Rat Portage, Ont,
says that Canadian and American In
dians have taken possession of Garden
Island, sixty-fve miles from Rat Port
age, in Lake of the Woods, Mimi, and
ordered the fishing companies to va
cate within four days. Tho princi-
pal company there is the Baltimore
Packing Company, which owns S15,-
900 plant, employing about forty men,
and catches 400, 900 pounds of fish each
season, for supplying the company's
branch houses in st. Louis, Denver,
Minneapolis, st. Paul, Ogden and Salt
Lake City. The telegram was delayed
in reaching Minneapolis, and the four
days expired on the 14th, before help
could be rendered. Governor Merriam
has been appealed to, and troops will
probably be sent out. The company's
manager there, who is familiar with the
fishing country, fears the Indians may,
in addition to destroying the fishing
plants, massacre the men in charge.
Lake of the Woods is far from the In
dian reservations, and it is not yet
known what caused the uprising.

in His Car.
George A. Taylor, express messenger
on the Alton, had a frightful expert
ence on his run from Kansas City to ST.

He was unarmed, the train going
at the rate of thirty-five miles an
hour, and the doors of the car were
locked. The messenger picked up a
piece of tarpaulin, which he held in
front of him, and when the brute sprang
at him its claws became fastened in the
canvas. Taylor kicked the brute loose,
but it returned to the attack again and
again. At last he threw the canvas
around the cat, and, thus imprisoned, ho
got hold of coupling pin and beat il

itorial from the Lancet on the Kemmler
execution, in which appears the follow
ing: ''They burned the skull and por-
tion OF the back and exploded the sinows
of the brain. No doubt they were for
tunate enough to render the man sense
less at the first blow, just as they would
have done if they had struck him on the
head and back with a red-hot hammer.
but there was found no mark of the
electrical current in or through the Wis
cera of the body. The man was killed
by concussion of the brain and explosion
within the closed cavity of the skull,
just as a man may be killed by apo
plexy or sunstroke."
