KILLED INSTANTLY.
Frank Graham Run Over and
Crushed to Death by an Elec-
trio Car


Frank Graham, bright lad of s
years, residing with his mother at
No. 80 South street, was run over
by car No. 81, of the San Pedro
Springs line, on South Alamo
street about 8 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon and instantly killed, the
terrible accident being witnessed
by a number of persons.
Shortly before o'clock Mrs.
John W.atzlavZick, the mother of
the boy, gave him basket and
sent him to grocery to purchase
some provisions. He left the house
as merry as could be, whistling as
all happy lads of his age do, not
realizing that he would in a few
moments be mangled corpse.
When the little fellow arrived on
South Alamo street, he noticed two
men working in the street, joining
two pipes with lead. AS this was
new to young Graham, to satisfy
his curiosity, he stepped up to the
place where the work was being
performed, and eagerly watched
the proceedings. Just at o'clock
the street car, in charge of Motor
man w. II. GOOtch, came along,
going towards the Arkansas Pass
depot, at fast speed, so witnesses
testify. Just before the car had
reached the place, Graham con-
cluded to leave, and started to
cross the track, not hearing the
gong, as he was in deep thought,
probably, over the work of these
two men, above referred to. No
sooner had he stepped across the
first rail, when he was struck and
knocked down by the car. Both
wheels of the heavy conveyance
ran over the childs body. The car
was checked as soon as possible,
and in moment the scsne of
horror was surrounded by many
terror stricken people. 1t was use
less to try to save him, as he was
then a corpse, death having no
doubt come to him in an instant
after he was struck.
DR.. FitZsimmOns' office being
near by, the bodywas taken there
to await the arrival of the coroner.
\ LIGHT representative viewed
the corpse shortly after the acct
dent, as it lay on the physicians
table, a pile of flesh, bones and
blood. The chest was crushed in,
the skull was mashed, the left arm
was badly mangled, and in fact,
the entire body was crushed and
torn by the heavy wheels, which
run over the unfortunate lad.
Soon Justice Griff Jones arrived
and viewed the body and ordered
it removed to Sheern & Burnets
undertaking establishment, where
it will be prepared for burial.
The news of the sad end of young
Graham was communicated to his
mother, and the shock was so
great, that she fell to the floor pros
trated. She was in critical con-
dition and it was with difficulty
that several physician, with strong
medicines, succeeded in quieting
her.
Officer James Bovee arrested
MOterman GOOtch, and he was ar
raigned before Justice Jones, and
placed under a $500 bond, which
he gave.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of little Frank Graham
will be held this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock at the home of his parents.

A Hard Story.

J. A. McConville, who lives. near
Butte city, killed one of his
chickens for dinner, and on cleaning it
found a quantity of gold nuggets in
the crop and gIzzard. Having about
thirty more chickens on hand, he be-
gan killing and examining them. In
each Of them he found a pro rata of
nuggets, the total amount gathered
from the thirty-one being S3S7.55, an
average of $3.50 a head. The gold
was sold to the State National bank
and pronounced Is karats fine. Mr..

killed, and $3.50 was taken from its
works, the result OF afourdays'

Mckinley at Church.

Governor Mckinley is a modest
man and very much averse to posing
before the public and thus inviting at
tention. But he had an experience in
Brooklyn last Sunday which aston
ished him. He ven over to that city
and i'll company with a friend residing
in Brooklyn attended church, like the
good citizen he is, and the congrega-
ton being ignorant of the fact no one
noticed him especially until at the
close of the service the preacher, doubt
less proud of having such a distin-
guished listener, mentioned the cir
cumstance. Instantly there was a
burst of applause and a rush for the
pew where the governor sat, and men
and women grasped his hand and
poured out their congratulations. 1t
was a trying occasion, but the gallant
Ohioan managed to preserve both his
equilibrium and the properties.
