RESULT OF A SPREE.
George Chase Has Accident That
Nearly Costs Him His Life.

George Chase Has an Accident That
Nearly Costs Him His Life.
On New Years afternoon officer Coffey
brought to the Police Station man named
George Chase, who was suffering from an
ugly cut in the thigh. Chase could not
tell how or where he received the wound,
but it was learned from other sources that
he went into Antoine Brewers Front-street
lodging house early in the morning to
sleep off a spree, and on ascending the
stairs fell back to the bottom. Nothing
daunted, he got up, and though one eye
was closed from the effects of the fall, he
gained his loom, locked himself in and
went to bed.
While asleep he fell from his cot upon
a vessel and smashed it to pieces, and the
broken crockery pierced his thigh three or
four inches. In his stupefied condition he
went back to bed and lay there till the
afternoon, when the proprietor of the
house, thinking something was wrong,
forced in the door. The bedclothes and
floor were covered with blood, and Chase
was found in very weak condition. He
was brought TO the Receiving Hospital by
officer Coffey, where the City Physician
dressed his wounds. The doctor stated
that the man mighs perhaps die from loss
of blood, but yesterday morning he was
still in the land of the living and feeling
tolerably well, though weak and nervous
from loss of blood.

ANNUAL REUNION.
How the Veteran Odd Fellows Enjoyed
Their Holiday.

How the Veteran Odd Fellows Enjoyed
Their Holiday.
The Veteran Odd Fellows Association
composed of Odd Fellows who have been
members of the Order not less than twenty
years-held their annual election and ban
quet on New Years Eve. About ninety OF
the veterans assembled, and it is doubtful
if more venerable and sedate-looking, yet
at the same time hearty and jovial body OF
men were ever coDgregated together in this
city.
The Association was called to order by
| its President, w. D. Stalker, at 745 O'Clock,
and he congratulated the members that
| within the last year death had not laid
claim to single member. After the trans
action of routine business the officers for
| the ensuing year were elected, es follows:
President, G. B. Dean; Vice President
John We'll; Secretary, T. ]. Clark; Treas
urer, NJ. Miller Marshal, P. DolaD; Direct
ors, James Fraley, S. Morris, n. W. Rob-
| bins, Sparrow Smith, r Petit.
| After the election, which was conducted
with rare good-feeling and much merri'
ment-some of the offices being closely
contested-the veterans, at 1885, proceeded
| to the banquet hall The tables were
handsomely spread, and delicacies and
substantials were served in most bounte-
Gus quantity, and were partaken of in 9
manner which indicated the veterans had
perfect confidence in their digestive organs
President Stalker acted as master of cere
monies, and after brief and appropriate re-
marks, called upon President-elect Dean
| who in a feeling manner returned thanks
for the honor conferred upon him.
Members of the Turner Harmonic Their
sang g song, which was followed by re
marks by several of the veterans who wert
called upon to respond for various brancbe!
of the Order.
The Turner Harmonic then sang another
song, after which all present Joined il
singing the closing ode, and one of th,
most pleasant. sociable and enioyabl,
gatherings ever held in this city then ad

jurei man was taken aboard the caboose
and made as comfortable as possible until
the train came back into town. The in
jured party was taken TO the Receiving
Hospital.
At the hospital the man was identified
as William Mcleod, who for a year or so
has kept little barber-shop on X street,
between Front and Second. He was found
to be suffering from deep wound in the
throat, broken leg and various bruises
about the body. He lived but an hour
after his arrival at the hospital.
1t appears that for some time past Nc
Leod has been suffering from erysipelas,
and at times the pain would be so great as
to make him delirious. On Monday he
had an unusually bad attack and went to
the County Hospital for treatment. He
grew worse that night and on the next
day was delirious. On Tuesday night, in
his delirium, he partially dressed himself
and managed to get out Of the hospital.
He did not put on his shoes, and, throwing
his overcoat over his head, he struck out
for town. taking the railroad track for his
path. No doubt he either did not see the
train coming or was not in condition to
realize his danger.
Engineer Rudeck takes the matter con-
siderably at heart 1--WE were rafting
point between Thirteenth and Fifteenth
Streets" said he yesterday, when l saw
something standing on the track between
the rails, about fifteen yards off. l did not
know it was man when first saw it. The
bell was ringing, but l blew an extra
whistle. / was sure it was not man, and
thought that some of the boys had been
trying toplay joke on me with a dummy
When the engine struck him it threw him
to the north of the track. | stopped and
went back, still thinking it was a joke and
l had only knocked over dummy.
When we picked him up he was lying
partly on the track and was not dead. He
assisted himself in getting into the ca
boose. He had an overcoat over his head
when we struck him and was in his stock
ing feet. He was standing perfectly still
on the track"
Fireman Cotter and II. H. Sturgell, who |
were on the engine at the time both cor
roborated engineer Rudeck's statement.
Mcleod gave his age at the County Hos |
pital as 80 years, though he was a much |
older-looking man. He was a native of |
Alabama, and has a sister living some |
where in the State. He was member of |
Lincoln Post, G. A. R of this city, and |
was the recipient of a pension from the |
Government.
An inquest will be held by Coroner Clark
this morning.

surerings of Box-Car Tourists.

Some days since couple of impecunious
tourists-Tbomas McNamar and Joseph
Simpson-had reached Ogden on their way
to the winterless valleys of the Pacific
slope. There they discovered a freight
train bound West, and crept into box-car
loaded with coal, and were locked in. They
were taken out of it yesterday morning,
and both were suffering terribly from frozen
feet.
After the City Physician had done what
he could for them at the Receiving Hos
pital, they were sent to the County Hos
pital. The men say that their experiences
on the journey hither were terrible. They
frequently called for help, but could not
make themselves heard. The City Ply
stefan thinks they can be cured.

wanted the fence placed on the proper line
then, but Gates would not agree to il.
Ferguson then brought suit to recover
the land and have the fence placed where
it belonged. Gates opposed this in Court
on the ground that the Statute of Limita-
tons outlawed the original agreement
made between the parties.
The jury, however, did not look at the
matter in the same light as did Gates, and
rendered verdict in favor of Ferguson.

The suit of W. Il. Ferguson VS.. J. B.
Gates came up for hearing before Superior
Judge Armstrong and jury yesterday.
The case is a somewhat novel one.
Years ago Ferguson and Gates located on a
tract of land several miles out of town, and
each took half of it. They erected divis-
ion fence upon what was, as near as they
could Judge, the proper line. They
agreed. however, that the fence shonld be
placed upon the proper line as soon as the
land was surveyed. Years rolled on and
no survey was had, end the land increased
eres,ly in value. Recently, however, the
iand was surveyed, ard il was found that
