HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT.


Levi Myers is plaintiff in suit brought
Saturday against the Marlboro Fair Asso-
citation, The plaintiff states that in the
week ending Saturday, October 4, 1890,
defendant held its annual fair. Plaintiff
was the owner of a speedy horse valued
at 500, and in response to an invitation
states that he entered the horse for race
and paid the prescribed entrance fee. The
petition states that the race was a run
ming race and hence y -r>- the duty of the
association to exc = great care in keep
ing the track clear of obstructions during
the progress of the race. Believing that
the track was clear, plaintiff started the
race, himself being the rider. While the
horse was at its greatest speed, Myers
states that he came into collision with the
skeleton driving wagon of one Michael
Kennedy which was on the track. The
shaft of the wagon penetrated the side OF
tue horse, causing death. The force OF
collision, the petition alleges, threw Myers
with great violence upon the ground.
thereby wounding, bruising and lacer-
ating him and iDiuring his spine.
He AYERS that he will never be
restored to his former health. He states
that defendant was guilty of gross neglect
in the premises and asks for the death of
his horse 800, and for damages to himself
the sum of $4,000 damages. ". j. Piero
is the attorney for the plaintiff.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
A Boat Sunk by IsiII Anderson in 1864
Found in Sand Bar.

Found in Sand Bar.
RoCHEPoRT, Mo-, Nov. 30-While
Capt. Tim Lynch, with n force of work
men, was engaged in blasting away a
heavy ledge of stone at the western en-
Missouri, Kansas e. Eastern railroad,
ne unearthed an old relic of the war.
A heavy charge of dynamite was fired
and tons of rock went skyward A
huge wedge-shaped block of flint lime
stone, weighing a ton or more, landed
upon sand bank and disappeared, leav-
ing hole fully the size OF hogshead.
Planls were placed upon the treacher-
Gus ground, and Capt Lynch walked
out, put Il ladder into the hole and de-
seconded q few feet, returning quickly
with the information that Il boat hull
was Just beneath the sand and that the
stone had broken through its well rot
ted timbers.
He set n crew of men at work in SHOW
cling back the sand and exposed to
view portion of the old vessel. The
boat was lying upon its side, and many
articles have been found in its hull
which identify it as the steamer Buffing-
ton government supply boat sunken
in 1864 by Bill Anderson and his gang.
Since the vessel was sunk the river has
changed its channel and planted under
the sand this old relic of the rebellion.
Thomas Waterman was captain of the
fated boat and was killed by Anderson's
men at that time. Gen. Rosecrans was
at that time in command of the federal
forces in this state, and imposed an as
sessment of S10,000 upon the southern
sympathizers of Missouri township for
the benefit of the mother and sisters of
Capt. Waterman, who were dependent
upon him for support. The amount
was afterward reduced to $500
The work of more extensive investi-
CATION into the old boat hull is still GO
ing on. Up to the present time five
barrels of whisky, eleven old rusty gun
barrels, twenty-three revolvers and a
skeleton are the most conspicuous finds.
There are numerous heaps of mold,
supposed to be the product of flour and
clothing, and several knives, forks,
spoons and plates have been found As
about half of the hull is below the
present low water level it will require
much pumping in order to enable the
explorers to recover everything within
it High hopes are entertained of find
ing considerable gold and silver coin.

powered.
HIAwATHA, Kan, Nov. 30.-Commo-
dore True, the negro who stabbed w.
Waltham to death at q colored festival
Thanksgiving night, was lynched early
this morning by colored men after the
sheriff and his deputy had fred several
Intellectual shots at them.
At o'clock this morning fifteen coli
ored men appeared from the shadows
of the lumber piles, coal sheds and
freight cars where they had spent the
greater part of the night waiting until
the town slept, and held brief con-
sultation on the union depot platform.
A bottle of liquor was passed around,
the last of several gallons, to nerve up
the men who were armed with guns
and revolvers. Then the weapons were
looked to and the men marched up the
deserted main street in an irregular
line to the courthouse park. Turning
the corner at the second block and
crossing the street they went block
further south and halted before the
brick dwelling house where the sheriff
of Brown county lives with the county
Jail right back of his home.
The colored avengers hesitated but a
minute, while from livery stable near
by and from several shops in the neigh
borhood a number OF white men APP
peared. Suddenly the silence was
broken by cries of Break in the door,"
and amid yells the door was pounded
and kicked until it was nearly battered
into splinters.
True had heard the noise and was up
and dressed with the exception of lac
ing his shoes A rope was placed about
his neck and, with terrible yells from
his eXecutioners, he was led into the
court yard. Once he slipped and fell.
Three or more negroes pounced upon
him and beat him until the leader
stood them off with his revolver. The
yard was full of trees but he was taken
to several before suitable one Was
found The temporary gallows was
finally selected near the center of the
park, within dozen steps of the court
house.
Some one pulled on the rope which
had been passed over limb. There
was great silence and then another
gave pull that jerked the murderer
off his feet.
Let me pray" the doomed man cried
as he chobed, but his words seemed to
enrage his lynchers, who grasped the
rope and pulled until his body dangled
in the air.
Then some one fred bullet into the
body and all the others did the same.
Fully fifty bullets were buried in the
corpse. The fusilade of bullets was SO
wild that windows in the shops across
the streets were broken.

a RARE DOCUMENT.
The Story OF the Ancient Map Displayed
at the Colonial Exhibition.

Mt the Colonial Exhibition.
Mr.. Richard Davey, in his article on
the boyhood and youth of Columbus
tells the story of how he obtained from
the pope the quantity curious ancient
map of the West Indies, which attracted
so much attention in the West In
dian section of the colonial exhibit
ton. At the request of the British
commissioner, Sir Augustus Adderly,
ne went to Rome with the mission of
bringing back to England some rare
document connected with the early his
tory of the colonies which were dis
covered by Columbus four centuries
ago.
The task was a rather difficult one,
for the papal court is notoriously chary
of parting even temporarily with its
literary treasures, but being furnished
with a letter from Cardinal Manning to
Cardinal Simeoni, late president of the
Sacred congregation of the propaganda,
Mr. Davey was fortunate enough to ac-
complish what he calls "a triumph of
diplomacy in a small way" Eventually
he was permitted. by the kindness Of
Pope Leo MIL, to convey to London
the precious plan of the world known
as The Second Borgian Map"
Other documents were examined con-
nected with the early discoveries of the
New World, but Cardinal Simeoni
shrewdly considered that map full of
quaint designs of curious ships and
strange figures of men and fabulously
hideous birds and beasts would prove
more attractive to the frequenters of
the West Indian section than Il cOllec-
ton of old parchments covered with the
Grabbed penmanship of the fifteenth
century, however valuable these latter
might be to MISUNDERSTANDING Tribune.
