Frank Brown Probably Fatally In
iurrd.


A messenger from Brown Bros.
ranch, seven miles below Bellevue,
brought news last evening OF probably
= fatal accident to young Frank
Brown son of the late John Brown OF
Spring Creek), the particulars OF
which are as follows:
Frank had one Of George Hailev's
horses standing in the stable for .
few DAYS, and had taken the animal
out with the intent,on of riding it
home.
1t is claimed that this horse 10 4
magnificent saddle beast, bat if net
ridden every DAY aud kept in check,
will attempt to throw his rider.
When Frank mounted, the horse
commenced bucking but failed to
throw his rider; and, apparently real
'zing defeat, reared high in the air
aud fell directly on the side with poor
Frank underneath, his head receiving
most violent hlow on the hard
ground which produced unconscious
ness; and before his comrades could
rescue him, the mad horse had rolled
over his body several times.
His injuries CONSIST of a deep Gu,
on the head and internal bruises.
Drs. Brown aud Est+ll we're taken
down to the ranch, and found the
patient unconscious and suffering from
OF the brain.
1t is impossible to predict the out.
come. but it is feared he will not
survive the shock.
The latest sdyices from there state
that he still remains unconscious.

Outlaw Killed.

WAIsENBuRG, Col, Aug. 23.-The
famous bandit, Catillo, was shot and
killed on Halo Duruo creek, this
county.
Deputy Sheriffs Wilson and Yocum
of Parl county, and Deputy Sheriff
brewer of this county and three others
surrounded him, but he refused tc
surrender. He was wanted for the
murder of two Swedes.
The fight lasted for three hours,
The bandit was well armed and had
lots of ammunition.
Every:opportunity was given hin
to surrender, but his final answer was
shot from his revolver.
Deputies Yocum and Wilson are
both good shots, but the bandit wa:
so protected by rocks and trees thai
it was three hours after the first sho
was fired before any Of the officers
bullets took effect, although many o
them grazed his body whereverit wal
exposed.
He fought desperately, and, al
though he was attacked from all quart
ers, he fired SO rapidly and with sucI
accuracy that it was impossible tt
close in on him.

An Occasion without Slush.

Boston Herald:
1t is gratifying to note that neither
the president nor Mr.. Phelps MOI
any of the speakers at bennington
paid any tributes to the national eagle
or attempted to soar into the heights
which he is accustomed to frequent.
The absence of the superlative in all
these addresses was charming fea-
ture of the occasion. Mr.. Emerson
rebuked his fellow citizens in sig
nificant essay, because they were not
advanced enough in culture and il
self-possession to abstain from the
superlative, but at Bennington the
speaking would have satisfied even
his severe notions of propriety. MI
Phelps might have risen easily into
this vein, but he held himself il
check. There was not word in his
Grafton that could have been spared
without weakening the sense, and thu
speech of the president was as severe
in its simplicity and choice in it,
English as even Harvard professo
of rhetoric could desire.

In the suburban districts of London
much annoyance has been caused, and
unneighborly squabbles induced, by

A Horrible Disaster.

New York. Aug, 2S.-Four five
story stores, s., 20, az and "a Park
place, suddenly collapsed at Il; 81
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The fall
was instantly followed by a fire, The
four stores were all occupied, There
is considerable difference of opinion
as to the cause. 1t seems probable
that the weight of printing presses or
upper floors and the vibrations from
their motion caused the collapse.
1t is believed that so lives were lost

burned. About so persons escaped
from the building with their lives,

THE wINKELRIED MONUMENT.

The popular story goes that Werner
Staufacher had fine house in Schwyz-
too fine for peasant" said Gessler, and
so the governor confscated it. Another
governor outraged Arnold Won Melchtal,
Of Unterwalden, in a similar way, and
these two met Walter Fuerst Mt his house
IN Attinghausen and laid their first plans.
On the night of Nov. II. 1907. these three
met on the Ruetli and solemnly Piled ged
their lives to the fatherland. The story Of
William Tell, of Altorf in Uri, Is fanii
lar to all The original agreement of the
three cantons, In medieval Latin, is still
preserved at Schwyz, One by one the
other cantons came in till the twenty-five
were united, and SO Switzerland is the old
est republic in the world.
The most elaborate display is to take
place at Bernc, and the panoramas repre-
senting the progress of the republic will be
the finest ever seen IN the republic This
is for the 7OOth anniversary Of the founda-
ton of the city. II is of interest to note
that the people around Lake Cri are from
the Alcmunni mentioned by TaGitus.
After their descent upon the Roman EN-
pire they returned and located in Switzer-
land. and have ever remained the enemies

Zone of the curious things of this

the devotion of some men to an idea
without regard to the opinion of the
rest of the world and without hope Of
reward know of man from my
state who devoted lifetime to spiders,
He died in the Alps, where he had been
for two years collecting specimens OF
spiders. He sacrificed his life to spi-
ders. He has left q collection of some
$4,000 distinct varieties. You would
hardly think there were many more
spiders in existence This man has
them stuck up in sections, In classes,
fully labeled.
HE began fooling with spiders when
boy He had a room that he would
allow no one to sweep or clean, and
encouraged the spiders to such an ex-
tent that they would come to him and
feed out of his hand. He discovered
that by repeatedly destroying a web a
spider reached a stage where his power
of reproducing web is exhausted. When
that stage was reached the spider at
tackled another spider, killed him and
took his ball of web from him. Just
like human being, don't you seei
Before this man died he embalmed his
knowledge Of spiders in two volumes.
He was spider crank. "-Exchange.

A story connected with Jerrold's short
period OF naval service may well find a
place here On one occasion as mid.
shipman, having gone ashore with the
captain, Jerrold was left for time In
charge of the boat While the captain
was away two Of the men asked for
permission TO 60 and buy something,
Permission was given by their youth
full and too good natured officer, who
added;
BY the way, you might rs well buy
me some apples and few pears"
"All right, sir" said the men, and of
they went,
The captain returned, but not the
men; search Was made for them, but
they We're not to be found; they had
deserted, and Midshipinan Jerrold was
In sad disgrace. The event made a
lasting Impression upon him, so deep a
one that he declared he could recognize
the deserters at any time, as indeed he
did, Some thirty years afterward, as
he was passing along the Strand, the
x-midshipman was struck by the ap,
pearance of a bakers man who was
looking into n shop window; he walked
up to him, and rapping him sharply on
the back, said;
II say my friend, don't you think
you've been rather long time about
/ that fruitP"
The deserter was horror struck at be-
ing discovered, and could only gasp

tight around her the girl ran up
towards the road, again coming in
range Of Almy's revolver, which he
fred twice after her. The man was
Emmett Marshall. Fanny intercept
ed him and led him towards the spot
where her sister was held by Almy,
AS they approached two more shots
were fired. There was cry of agony
end all was over.
Then Marshall saw Almy run up
the hill and disappear in Il row Of un-
derbrush, The body of his victim
was carried TO her home. The story
of her sufferings was mutely told by
her remains. The face and forehead
were covered with abrasions, caused
probably by blows from the stock of
the revolver. Directly under the left
eye was wound made by the bullet,
which passed down and out of the
neck. The face about the wound was
powder burned to an extent which in
Dictated that the pistol must have been
held very close to, if not in actual
contact with, the flesh. The other
bullet entered the body in the small
of the back, passed downward through
the abdomen and came out. That
there was a struggle and severe one
is clearly evidenced by her hands,
both of which were cruelty torn and
bruised.

A FINISHED wHALEBAcH.


the waves do not cause so much rolling as
when they strike the upright sides Of a
common vessel The bow end is sharp and
circular and the stern rounded in similar
way. With all these advantages Captain
McDougall thinks that seasickness can al
most entirely be avoided, but at present
his designs have reference only to the
cheapening of freight transportation.
In towing barges the saving is enor-
nous. The "whaleback" barge runs SO
evenly that the bow does not "yaw," and
consequently the tension is uniform OIL the
tug line, and at the same time the absence
of top hamper in the barge greatly de-
creases the rolling The total result is
that in a smooth sea the saving is over a
third and in rough sea much greater
at least so says Mr. Wetmore, secretary
of the American Steel Barge company,
which is organized to work Captain Nc
Douglas patents. Many striking instances
are cited of the success of the "whaleback"
in storms AS to the passenger steamer Of
this pattern there is yet much to learn,
but it is plain enough that if Captain Nc
Dougall can prevent seasickness he will
have a tremendous patronage, whether he
saves aDythinT in expenses or not
