WAS he KILLED BY THE cARsf
The Coroner Continues His Investigatio
of John b. Esler's Death

The Coroner Continues bis Investigation
of John b. Esler's Death
The coroner's inquest on the death of
John B. Esler, the ironworker who was
killed on thea. V. r. r. tracks near his
home at Sandy Creek Saturday night, was
begun yesterday but not completed. The
evidence made it somewhat doubtful
whether he had been killed by a train or
had met with foul play before the train
passed over him. The trainmen testified that
after their train of seventeen freight cars
had passed over the body they ran back and
picked it up but the ears were cold and
there were no signs of life. 1t is alleged
that SO Esler received in wages Saturday
evening were missing from his pockets
The young mans father believes he was
thrown under the wheels of a passenger
train from which he had jumped before the
freight came along. Esler was formerly a
railroader and ever since has been in the
habit Of jumping on and off moving trains
when opportunity offered. His lather saws
he often warned his son of the dangers and
he rather expected he would meet with an
accident The inquest will be concluded
Thursday.

like a cowboy. The noise disturbed the
cattle, and they looked at the team master
in way that made him hasten back to the
house. Superintendent James Mcknight
was called and went on the same mission.
Like the team master, Superintendent Jim
returned, only he sprinted little better
than did the former.
The superintendent called upon his pine
officers for assistance. They went out, but
the cattle looked vicious and acted danger
ously. The better part of valor, discretion,
was considered, and the ten determined
men returned for their horses and reyolvers,
When properly equipped the fun began in
earnest and ragged fast and furious until 4
o'clock in the afternoon, when mind tri-
umphed over matter, and the drove was
secured with ropes binding them to stakes,

The superintendent appointed himself

Francis Laur, of Paris, an engineer and q

turning from Mexico, where he says he has
been inspecting mines.
America is great country" the French
gentleman began last night, ''but the social
question here is more serious than in
France. 1 believe the United States is ap-
preaching social revolution. The Gov
ernment is not sufficiently centralized.
There is no standing army and there is not
sufficient power to suppress violence should
an outbreak be threatened
'What remedy would YOU suggest for the
evils you have seen in this country?" was
asked.
The Frenchman with a Boulanger beard
shrugged his shoulders, threw both hands
into ;he air, and rolling his big eyes back
into his head, said: mo trusts, no monop-
olies, no capitalistic combinations There
is too much capital in too few hands The
same question is agitating the whole world,
but nowhere SO much as in America"

tempts to Take His Life
Alexander Ferguson, of 100 South Ninth
street, made an attempt upon his life yes
terdays morning. He boards with John
Moore. About $50 yesterday morning he
came crawling into the room occupied by a
son OF the boarding house keeper, and upon
awakening. young Moore discovered that
the mans throat was cut. He summoned
the family and the man was sent to the
Southside Hospital In a patrol wagon. He
was fully conscious, although weak from
loss of blood.
Examination showed that Ferguson had
ficted three snshes in his throas and sew
eral cuts upon his stomach. The weapon
used was small penknife-the shortness
of the blade preventing his inflicting a
mortal wound. The doctors saw that none
of the wounds are serious, and look for the
mans speedy recovery. 1t is said that the
attempt on his life was directly due to
prolonged spree.

of 46 hornless Colorado steers were being
driven down Penn avenue by two cattle
drovers. The beeves were being taken
from the East End stock yards to the
butcher shop of Peter Tersch, on the South
side. The leader, powerful, gaunt, white
steer, suddenly stopped. He raised his
great head into the air, and then gave
piercing below. A moment later another
trumpet-like blast came from the
leader The next instant he made
a dash for liberty, followed by the entire
drove. Down the street they tore, followed
at distance by the mounted drovers.
The cries of the men were drowned in the
din made by the cattle. At the first cros-
sing the herd swerved and rushed headlong
at such a furious pace that the men were
