A TERRIBLE FATE.
a Street Car Runs Over a Little Boy
and Sewers His Head.

and Sewers His Head
i Shortly before 6 o'clock last night there
occurred one of the saddest accidents
known for a long time in the casualty record
OF ST. Paul. A party of boys who had been
!. out skating were returning home AS they
were passing along South Concord, near
State street, one of them, Joseph Bracken,
a boy about seven years old, and who re-
slded with his parents at 21O
Roble street, attempted to board a
steet car. On that street there is an
extension, with what is now commonly
.ta .le "a bob-tail" car, making
tnps over it. The line or loop extends
from Concord to Annapolis street. Bows
have been in the habit of trying to steal
rides on these cars as mischievous bows
olJen Will, though repeatedly warned not

the boy missed his footing, falling off the
car In such manner that the car wheels
+ run 1 oyer hissNneck, completely scvering the
AS soon as the driver, Joseph MahIer be-
came aware that something had happened
he stopped the car and ran to the unfor-
tunate lads assistance, but the cruel deed
was complete with the body lying along
side the track and the decapitated head
ne near; The body was taken to P. Gadbout's,
~ s!ooeh 1eoOeTC StTeeG uQOertdkGr. Dr.
Darling will hold an INQUEST at
10 a.. m. to-day. Although the driver,
Joseph Mailer. was placed under arrest,
the general sentiment of the passengers and
other bystanders is to the effect that the
affair was a purely accidental one, and
that the driver is in no sense culpable.
Sad as these accidents are, they will con-
tlnue at intervals unless some means of
preventing boys climbing on or off moving
cars is enforced. Some years ago a bright lit
tie fellow lost a portion of one Of his legs in
this way. which was grievous enough, but
this accident is the most horrible Of the
Kind that ever happened IN St. Paul.

Reports Three Indians Killed.

PIERRE, S. D., Special Telegram, Dec. 49,
Gov. Mellette to-day received word from
Col. NJ. II. Day, who is in charge of the
militia forces in the Black Hills, that in an
engagement with the Indians yesterday
near Hermosa three Indians were killed. It
is his opinion that there will have to be
bloodshed among the Indians before they
can be brought to their senses. He under
stands it is the policy OF the war depart
ment to arrest the leaders as soon as posi-
bic. Nobody likes to be in danger from
the Indians, Tor il is proverbial that there is
no telling what they will do. These In
dams were wild when they were settled on
their reservations. and while many have
been partly civilized. the great per cent OF
them have remained in their original state

rARRED AND FEATHERED.
The Way They Treat shyster Lawyers
In Call ifOrnia

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Oct. This after
noon the jailor heard knock at the
door of the courthouse. He opened 1t
and found ten masked and armed men.
They said they wanted James Herring
ton, to whom they were prepared TO
give a lesson. AS the jaier refused to
conform to their wishes, they seized
him, took the keys and put him under
guard. They then proceeded to the
sheriti's room and also captured him.
Next they opened the jail and took Her
rington from the cell where he was con-
fined. He resisted desperately, but they
gagged him, put him In wagon, and
conveyed him to a lonely place four or
five blocks away, stripped him and ap-
piled q coat of tar and feathers. He
was then set at liberty and disappeared.
Harrington has been know here for
nearly three years. A part of the time
he has lived at Poza and a part at I ulare
City. He presented a conspicuous and
respectable figure on the streets when
here. BY occupation he was pettifog-
ging lawyer, and his principal business
was the promotion of land contests, max
ing the condition of the settlers miser-
able, and getting money out of the
trou bles he caused. He was in Jail for
victimizing q farmer whom he was de-
Tending. A late dispatch received says
he is In Tulare City.

A LIVELY SILVER TRADE.
Tho Recent Depression Probably >
Caused by British Brokers.

New YoRK, Oct 1.-The trading in
silver certificates was very heavy to-day.
/, 10000 ounces being sold in the New
York stock exchange, and there was an
equally heavy business between the
brokers outside. The sharp change in
the situation since yesterday morning
was decided surprise. At one time
yesterday the prospect appeared de-
cidedly untavorable. one Of the most
prominent German houses sold nearly
1000, 600 ounces and forced the price
down TO $l.09N.
1t was said that this selling was for the
account of pool which had been carry
ing q large block down from around Sl.l0,
and the silver dealers say that when this
silver was known to have been sold they
were willing to begin bnying again, and
buying orders came in from many source
today, carrying the price up to S.1iM.
The brokers ascribe the improve
to the removal of the pressure hanging
over the market to the higher market in
London, and to tho purchases by the
government for October.
The United States officials believe that
the decline was the work OF London
operators, who depressed the market, in
order TO make better terms in the semi
annual Indian settlement, which began
to-day.
