His Heart Burst by a KICK.

New York, March 2.-For a year
Michael Katzanburg bottled weiss beer for
Wellman Brothers in a building at West
Fifty-iourth street. Charlrs Bubby drives
the one-hoTse wagon. Bubby was curry
ing his horse early this morning when
Katzenburg cnt red. Picking up a
brush Katzenburg stepped behind the
horse and touched him on the back. The
horse let out oOco with its left hind leg.
The iron-shod hooi struck KatZenberg on
his LETT breast. right over the heart. The
blow cent the man spinning through
the open door, and he fell in a heap
on the paving stones OF the court.
Bubby lifted him up, e~ndeavoring to
stand him on his feet, Mike, Mike,
stehen sic aut," he shouted. The mans
legs were limp. Mrs. Engelhardt heard
the drivers cries, opened the window and
asked what the matter was. Bubby re-
piled that Mike had been kicked.
Englehardt grabbed a vinegar bottle and
came out. He threw vinegar in Katzeu
berg's face. but that did no good. They
carried the body into Engletardt's rooms
and laid him on the sofa. Englehardt
after losing some time trying to find a
policeman at 6 O'Clock in the morning ran
to the Roosevelt hospital, half a dozen
blocks away, Katzenburg was dead though.
When the ambulance surgeon got there

burst by the kick. Katzenburg had a wife
aud three children.

IT'S ONE PUBLIC FAVOR.
Wyoming Asks Congress for the And
Public Lands.

THE CHEYESNE LEADER has given us
a second war cry OF Wyomiug's indus
trial progress" The first vas "Hartyille
Iron Ore and Newcastle Coke. The
second is State Ownership for Public
Lands" The two if properly discussed
by the state press, will bring about the
prosperity that has been the dream OF
the enterising citizen since fret its wvu-
derful mineral wealth was discovered and
exploration and investigation developed
the tremendous possibilities of irrigation.
No public measure could benefit the state
more than the one proposed. The pro-
ceeds from the sale of lands in this etlte
should by all means be offered as bonus
for making arid lands valuable. The
agricultural territory, unless some such
general plan is acted upon. is very
limited We doubt If Wyoming will sup
ply the home market ut any trmc
If the mineral development goes forward
as there is every prospect of its doing.
Aud any PLAZA of irrigation is expensive.
To become general and effective in this
state, material encouragement must come
from either the state or the naiioR IL is
useless to expect mech from the general
government. All the western states are
making pressing demands, aud Wyoming
has lees claim for recognition than many
of them because We are not compelled to
depend upon agriculture alone. The
statement of donating unclaimed lands to
the states, however, is rapidly growing
into favor. The east will certainly not
oil pose it il it will quiet the demands for
aids to Immigration II the west. The
west wants it, for the states will be able to
handle the lands to much better advan-
tsge than the general government The
diverting Of the profits, from the sale of
lands to a fund for the encouragement of
irrigation is the one great ohjeot in view.
1t is not necessary to discuss the
methods of irrigation at length. Wyoming
has many fbe streams whose waters
would make their valleys blossom like
great flower gardens. ArtesiAn wells are
possibilities in every section OF The
state. No country on the globe offers
better advantages for a cheap reservoir
system. All that is needed Is an
opportunity to give title to large tracts OF
land and-moncy.
We are wild yon' Mr. Leader.
State OwUership of Public Lands" is
the one public favor Wyoming wants.

NEW YORK, March IA new branch
of padrone business in this city has Just
come to hight through the escape OF Gal.
tano Marello from a boss to whom he was
bound at Dreyton Station. MnrellO came
from Palermo 10 Italy on the ship Alesia,
which reached here Dec. II. twenty-five
other laborers came with him. They were
induced by glowing promises 10 20 10
South Carolina. Oh reaching Charleston
they were forced to march for three hours
10 a place called DreytOn Station, whore
they were put to work digging pumice
stone. They were compelled to buy their
own tools and to pay their own travelling
expenses. Their work required them to
stand in water uD to their waists, and the
strongest of them could make only forty
cents a day. From this they were com
PEELED to buy their own provisions from
the bosses, who charged exOrbitant prices,
n small LOAF of bread costing ten cents.
Escape was almost impossible, as they
were guarded constantly by Bosses and
guards armed with rifles and revOlvers.
Escape, when possible, was practically
useless, owing TO their ignorance of their
whereabouts and surroundings and their
lack of money. Marello finally managed
TO effect his escape and reached New
York. He says there are $50 Italians in
practical slavery at DreYton Station.
