wheels of a moving car late Friday

track, near Broadway, and by
some means bis foot was caught un.
der the wheels. The ankle was crush
ed and the hip bone considerably shat
tered. He was at once taken to his
home on Pacific street, near the union
depot where medical assistance was
summoned. At the latest report he
was getting along very well, but was
by no means out of danger. This is
the third serious accident of the same
kind that has occurred near that place
within the past six months. the boy

WHY THIS PUBLIC SALES
Mrs. Minnie Wallace Walkup's
Costly Furniture Going at
Auction.

10 1884 Minnie Wallace. q pretty
brunette living at 222 Canal street,
New Orleans, left . handsome south.
ern home to cast her fortune with q
! man whose name afterwards brought
her into great prominence. When
Minnie Wallace Walkup appeared in
Cincinnati on her bridal tour, the
most expert judges Of feminine beau
ty were all of tue opinion that the
pretty bride had easily seen twenty
three summers. When, however,
some months afterward she was ar.
raignei in court, at her home in
EmpOria, Kansas, on thu charge of
administering poison to the husband
from whom she expected great wealth,
the records In her native country, to
the Amusement of all, said that she
was only eighteen years Of age. Upon
the plea of extreme youth some eccen.
trio people espoused Mrs. Walkups
cause in Emporia, and the jury failed
to say that Mrs. Walkup poisoned her
husband.
The story is widely known. Canal
street, now made famous by the in
Irigues of the pretty miss who 10 held
in high esteem bv southern gentlemen,
once more became her home. Here
she refused to see any of tue friends
who claimed her acquaintance from
her quondam northern home. Her
home Gu Canal street was furnished
and finished in all the elegance becom.
ing the style of southern legislators and
planters. whose company she enter
tanned with the same grace and charm
which only q comparatively short time
before had captivated an apparently
good catch of husband.
That her home after her return to
New Orleans was ali that wealth and
luxury could desire is shown in a no
tice of sale, which appears in the New
Orleans Picayune, under date OF
April 2lst. In prominent lines
a most extraordinary sale is
announced. The entire contents
of the superbly furnished residence
of Mr.. Minnie Wallace Walkup,
being the handsomest collection Of
effects submitted to the
public in several years, are offered at
public auction to the highest bidder.
The bill of sale enumerates articles of
furniture rich, rare and costly, with
pieces of art in painting and statuary,
which would reflect credit upon the
taste Of the most opulent.
But now the query occurs to those
Of her northern friends who knew her
20 well: Why should Minnie thus
70 summarily dispose of such q coy
and artistic home? Surely i'll fortune
could not fall to the lot of such . !
beauty. i
But perhaps she intends q second
lime to seek happiness in . second
The latter seems to be the |
most probable. -Kansas City Times.

Eugene f. Ware, His Uncle,

Apaehes Some Time
Ago.
A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas,

A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas,
says:
Eugene F. Ware Of Fort Scott, who
has been elected delegate from the
Second Congressional district to the
National convention was in the city
TO-DAY. Dispatches were sent out
from Fort Scott Tuesday stating that
Mr.. Ware believed he had discovered
in q homeless child at Santa Catarina,
Mexico, the orphan Of Judge McCo-
mas and wife. who were msssacred in
the Apache raid near Silver Lake
City. in March, 1882. At that time
young Charley McComas, then nearly
z wears old, was kidnapped by the
Indians. Mr.. Ware, who is sn uncle
Of the child is frequently in receipt of
letters from alleged scouts volunteer
ing to furnish for . consideration
information which promises to lead to
the discovery Of the boy. To these he
no longer pays the slightest attention.
Shortly after the massacre he insti.
tuted most vigorous search for the
child. sparing neither time nor money.
He interested Robert T. Lincoln, then
secretary Of war, in the case and the
Mexican government took it up ard
after making minute inquiries submit
ted report which forever set at rest
the question of the fate of little Char.
ley McComas. The boy. after bis
parents had been murdered, was car
ried by the Indians into Old Mexico.
He at once gained the favor Of the
Indians and there was considerable
strife smoug the squaws Is 70 which
one should adopt him. Several
months after his capture the Indians
we're exposed in . terribIe storm in the
Sierra Madras mountains and there
the child, unaccustomed to such hard
ships. persisted, notwithstanding the
fact that be was given the best care
possible by his captors.
Mr.. Ware says that the reports of
the discovery Of the boy are periodi-
g events and he believes that the
stories are started for the purpose of
extorting money from him.
A dispatch from Fort Scott refer
ing to the same matter says:

When he was fifteen he was sent down
to New York 10 an old bachelor uncle, 4
brother of hs mothers, who had offered
to adopt and educate him and to leave
him all his fortune
He went to Andover first and after
ward to Harvard, where he graduated
in several courses and took a good de-
gree. His talent for drawing, modelling
and construC ton was so decided that he
desired to make architecture his profes-
sion, but to this his uncle would in no
wise consent. He had adopted the boy
that he might have a son to succeed him
in his business, he averred, not that the
son might draw lines on paper The
noblest architecture in his eyes was
that which constructed fortunes.
Blessed with a sunny temperament
and the manners which unselfishness
and kindline, of heart bestow. Dan was
general favorite. pleasing quite as much
by his unaffected enthusiasm and genu-
inc boyish high spirits as he did by his
cleverness and exquisite tact. He was
not handsome, and was rather small,
and his hair was well nigh scarlet; but
nobody minded that-he least of all
and couple Of years passed away very
pleasantly in learning the ways of fl
nance and Irritation and becoming con-
verted from a charming student into an
equally charming man of the world.
Then suddenly the foundations of his
prosperity sic from under him. leaving
him stunned for awhile and inclined to
question his own identity. There was a
crisis of affairs, wild panic, followed
by a deep hush, in which men looked
about stealthily to see who was hurt and
who was killed, and fortunes fell like
leaves before frost and were whirled
away on the winds of ruin; and here
and there pistol shot rang through
handsome cha mbers and there was a
quiet, hasty burial at Greenwood.
After his uncle's death Dan Stewart
was forced to look about him. After
the creditors we're satisfied there was
