were excavating a lot on the west side of First
street. south OF Minna, for a pressed.brick
four-story building, the shovel OF one struck
upon a skull. Bit by bit the other bones of the
human anatomy were laid bare amid the debris

then another. None Of the bodies were deeper
than two and a half feet below the surface.

While working on the roof Of the new

Division street, last Monday, a young
carpenter BY the name Of Jackson had q
severe fall which came very near ending
his earthly career. His foot slipped and
he fell . distance Of more than twenty
feet. In his descent he must have struck
some projection, as there was an nglg
wound IN his neck sufficiently large to
insert two fingers. He received another
severe bruise on the back Of his head and
also on his right arm. His mother who
lives in Westlake, came over and took
her son home with her and undeE her

One of the most daring r0bberies ever
committed in our city took place last
Sunday evening, the deta'' Of which are
as follows:
One u, Is. Hodges, painter by trade,
has been boarding at Hotel Watkins for
some weeks past aad has generally been
esteemed as rather clever young man,
Mr.. J. l., Peayy, manager of the tsle-
phone system here is also q bOaFder at
the same place as also Mr., HOll'la Of
TrepapgneiTand Hollins and some others,
and all are on such terms of intamacy as
usually chaFacterize bOarders at the
same house, When the three were to-
gether the fact was casually mentioned
iR eeuTse Of conversation by Mr. PeaVy
that on the next mail no expected the
vouchers and accounts for the months
work with the money for the pa nent of
the same, The three walked to the post
Office together and in the meanwhile Hodge
requested of Peayy the loan of Q dollar.
Mr., Peayy Pat him off saying be had no
money but If he really needed il he would
give hun q dollar on the morrow, The
mail was distributed and the expected
package put in Mr. Peayy's box and he
took the same therefr9m, At this june
tare Hodge snatcbed tbs package from
Mr.. Peayy who grabbed him and p tussel
ensued in which the package was re-
gained BY PeaYy who, although not
relishing the affair, supposed that Hodge
WAS IN fun. The two then left the office
together and Just in front of Adolph
Meyers drug store, Hodge again snatcbed
the package and made of with IL at the
top Of bis speed running south on Ryan
street, Turning east at Broad street and
disappearing in tho darkness somewhere
in tbs vicinity Of the EcHo Office. M.

the crowd started in pursuit. The man
Hodge lodged around fence corners and
behind houses until finally finding that

A Mysterious Drowning.

1
On the morning Of New Years day
negro discovered floating in the lake neal
the site of Drew's mill an odd appearing
object, which upon further examination
was found to he the dead body of man
The coroner was notified, and after
viewing the body he summoned a jury
aud an inquest was held which disclosed
the following facts: From the appearance
of the body it had evidently been in the
water for some days. The papers found
upon his person revealed that his name
was VIM. II. Harlan and a resident OF
DeuYeT, Colorado. 1t seems that the de-
ceased came with view to making this
his future home, he having brother,
Jesse Harlan bp name, who ia the keeper
of HOFFMAN ferry, few miles north.
1t seems that the deceased arrived here
about the Gath, or 25th of December, and
soon after sought out his brothers where
abouta and after learning the same he
hired skif and endeOvOred to cross the
river to his home. This is the last def
mite information we have of him alive.
When the body was found there was
found considerable amount of iewelry,
among which was cluster diamond ring
sewed up in his undsrshirt. Rings were
upon his fingers, and what is supposed to
be valuable stone in his pocket book.
He also had in his pocket book Ave half
dollar gold pieces, few dollars in silver
and some prOmissOry notes.
From his brother, Jesse Harlan, we
learn that he was expecting his brother
William to visit him, but did not know
exactly when he might come.
After Coroner Perkins had held an in
qnest the body was taken to the nnder-
taking rooms Of Mess. George a. Swift,
and afterwards buried In the Corporation
hurying ground.
LATERI-We learn from Mr., Dausset,
the express agent, that Harlan came to
the office and claimed a dog which had
been sent through from Denver, paid the
charges amounting to five dollars and
some cents. We understand that
the unfortunate man then went
down to the Poe shingle Mill at
the north end Of Ryan street and hired
boat from a fisherman, with the intention
Ofgoing oyer to his brothers. house which
was at HaTtman's ferry on the other side
some two or three miles up the river,
We have been unable to find the man
from whom be hired the boat, who could
perhaps give q more particular account
of the transaction. The little dog, a
terrier, has not been found and the most
reasonable sHppOsition IL that the old
gentleman (he was 10 years Oldl em-
baFked in the boat ON Christmas day and
was eapsized by the wind which was
blowing almost gale on that day, and
both he and the dog drowned, the body
of the man having flOated down to the
place where found, near DTew's II II.
