Murder.
EUAFAULA, I. T., Feb. 26.-Joseph
Dick, a full-blooded Creek Indian, was
shot to death 10 miles west of here, late
Saturday, for the murder of another
Indian named Grey. Both men were
in love with the same girl When told
that the morning of his last day on
earth had arrived Dick merely asked if
the judge would not defer the execution
until Sunday. When informed that he
could not, he only said "all right"
The sheriff went out and selected
spot for the execution. He placed
small box against tree and returned TO
the Jail, and beckoned to the prisoner to
follow him.
Dick Strengthened himself up, looked
around at the 10 guards surrounding
him and leisurely strolled out to the
place of execution. He took seat on
the box, and this proving unsteady he
arose and damned it down solidly and
then again sat upon it as coolly as though
he were taking his scat to be photo
graphed.
A red handkerchief was tied over his
eyes and piece of white paper pinned
over his heart. Not muscle of his face
or hands moved. Two of the guards
took position 20 feet distant and both
fired at the white spot, killing Dick in

some time ago that she would be altered
into passenger steamer, and work upon

offer to buy her fora steam yacht, which
she will now become, although the new
owners name has not yet TRANSFERRED.
Messrs. Stewart & Binney, the designers,

Columbian Guards Armed and Watchful

Fires.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-The partly
burned Court of Honor and other parts
of jackson Park were patrolled last
night for the first time by Columbian
guards, armed with rifles and supplied
with many rounds of bali cartridges,
for use against tiro-bugs.
Machinery Hall was guarded by an
extra line inside and outside. The
sword, which was more for ornament
than use, was formerly the only weapon
carried by the guards. After the last
fire in Agricultural Building, Police In

Three arrests will probably be made in
few days.

are the work of crank who wants to
boast he burned down the Fair, as no

Analysis of Points.


The current number of the Medical
Record says: A new strength record has
been made at the Hemenway gYmna-
stun, Harvard, by Edward Klein, '95,
of Deerfeld, Mass. The best previous
record up to this time stood to the credit
of S. L. Foster, 's5, in 1854. His total
strength was 1883 points. Kleir's
total of 1,445.6 points is made up as
follows: Strength of lungs, 90; strength
of back, $40; strength of legs, TAO;
strength of upper arms, 201.6; strength
of right forearm, rs; strength of left
forearm, 63. klein's record is likely to
stand for sometime, unless he himself
improves upon it. His total last year
was 1,015.2.

HEAVY Foes
Cause Accidents at New York-A River
Steamer Ashore.

New York, October 21-Dense banks of fog
whie settled down over the rivers and
harbor in the vicinity of New York this
morning are responsible for many accidents
to shipping and river craft. and at least one
accident came near resulting in serious loss
of life and property. The big Hudson river
steamboat Drew...of the Peoples line, ran
ashore on the rocks at Wasinghton point
about half mile this side of Spuyten Duy-
vii while on her way from Albany The
Drew carried one hundred and fifty pas
sengers. The vessel ran u 9on a ledge for
about forty feet. Some of the sleeping
passengers were thrown out of their berth
and everything OIL the steamer Jared.
There was no panic, and the lar to those on
deck was not severe, but 1t woke up the
sleeping passengers and frightened some
women and children. The fears of the timid
ones We're allayed. and the gang plank run
out and most of the passengers went ashore
Efforts to get her off by backing water
failed. Finally big lighter took off about
one hundred tons of freight. This failed to
release the steamer. 1t was decided to wait
until high tide at three this afternoon. At
that time the steamers engines were
started up and she slid off the rocks into
deep water and proceeded to her. dock. She
has no keel, her bottom being fiat, andEit is
due to this fact that she was not damaged
seriously. Her only injury being bad hole
torn in her starboard bow, through which
the water came in p1 city fast. Her pumps
kept her free. diver said the hole would
be repaired in twepty-four hours.

Goddard said he carried an insurance of
$1,000 while he owned the Cottage. but
d. B. Smith who was in charge at the
time OF the fire said that he was recently
told byMr. Pinkham, of the firm of Dow
q Pinkham, that Mr. Hunt only had
$500 on the. place. Mr.. Smith was of the
opinion that the above amount repre-
sented all the insurance carried by Mr..
Hunt.
Mr.. G. H. Sawyer owned the furniture.
Mr.. Smith said that $1,000 would be
very low estimate of the worth of the
furniture and fixtures. "Of course.n he
said, =" do not know exactly what in
surance he carried, but since he left l
PAID the premium on policy of $1,000,
and | am afraid that was all he had"
1T was very misleading fire, and
while but a comparatively few of those
VINO reside in that section were on the
ground, there was quite sprinkliug of
Portland people, aud OF course the ever
present wheelmen. One left his wheel
too close to the fire with unpleasant re-
suits to judge by his general appearance.
When the representative of the PRESS
was returning home. he noticed a belat-
ed wheelman on his way to the fire. At
least a dozen of the wheelmen were
there, all from Portland.
When the PRESS reporter left the
scene, the ring of wheelmen an 1 farmers,
with little group of people who went
over in hacks, were still watching for
further developments, which seemed i'm
probable unles aathe wind sprang up. The
other groups in the private way were
still watching and perhaps wondering
what next
1t would be hard to give too
much credit to Mr.. Smith andMr. Sawyer
who acted with great GOODNESS, and dis
played great presence of mind in getting
all the help out of the house without
starting panic.

The game was rather one-sided, as is shown
by the score, and was somewhat of a sur

would have been much different. but the
Sophomores having fairly strong team,
and being cheered on by the members of
