HORSEWHIPPED HER DAUGHTER.
Mrs. Annie Fraber Was Investigating
Unpleasant Reports.

Mrs. Annie Fraber. residing at No. 1f9
Wisconsin street. was arrested last night
by Merchant Policeman Hadley on charge
of assault and battery. Yesterday, Mrs.
Fraber was informed that Cassie, her
eleven-year-old daughter. had been acting
improperly with a man residing in the
neighborhood last Sunday afternoon. The
girl is employed at a bakery at No. 504
East Washington street and sleeps there at
night. Last night Mrs Fraber. armed with
a horsewhip and a determination to get
the truth of the matter went to the bakery
and found her daughter in bed. She was
admitted and then stated what she had
been informed. The girl emphatically de-
MED the statements and the mother, becom-
ing greatly enraged, as she thought her
child was not telling her the truth, struck
her a number OF blows across the back
and on the limbs. The girl was thinly
dressed and the whip left great red marks
in her flesh.
The pain was so excruciating that she
screamed and made such outcries that the
neighbors and the firemen of company No.
8 decided that some one was being MUIR
dered within: A number rushed 10 the
front of the bakery but could see nothing
that could explain the outcries. The fire
men attempted to get into the bakery but
could not. Merchant Policeman Hadley
came running up. and, on being told the
facts, broke in a door and found Mrs. Fra
Der belaboring her daughter with the butt
end of the buggy whip. He arrested her
on the above charge. Mrs. Fraber and her
daughter were both taken to the police sta
ton where they made statements to Capt.
Quigley and Police Matron Buchanan
Mrs. Fraber was bailed out and she, in
company with her daughter, returned home.
The police will make a close investigation
this morning, as the man in the case is
said to have been guilty Of several other
kinds of offenses in the last few days.

CANDIDATES FOR SENATOR.
Black, McVeagh and Hunter Seeking
the Votes of Illinois Democrats.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. June 25.-The Dem
ocratic State convention convenes here
Wednesday morning. General Black is the
only active senatorial candidate who has
put in an appearance so far. He opened his
headquarters this morning and expresses
himself as confident Of success. Whether
the convention will make any senatorial
nomination at all is largely a matter of
conjecture. Half Of the delegates now here
believe that there will be nominations and
the remainder are equally confident the
other way. Tomorrow Mayor Hopkins, of
Chicago, will be here, and it is said to be
almost certain that Hopkins can have the
nomination If he wants Ii, but he does not
want it. at least, just now. From present
outlook the fight lies between Franklin Mac
Veagh, Congressman Hunter and General
Black, although the arrival of the delega-
tons tomorrow may change this condition
of affairs.

CAPTAIN HYDE'S STORY.
His Account of the Loss Of the Tug
NicOl and Thirty-Six Lives.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Capt John Hyde,
commander of the Inflated tug James II.
Nicol was seen to-day at the office of
the owner of the tug. He is a young man,
twenty-five years of age and says that he
has had masters license for the past
four years For the first time Captain
Hyde told the story of the disaster: II
could count but fifty-eight passengers
the tug when she left the second stopping
place at Pier 8. East river There. were
five men in the, crew. making sixty-three,
all told We had been lying off Seabright
al anchor when the wind began to freshen.
We soon raised anchor, intending to leave.
We were about three-quarters of an hour
off shore. The sea, when we started, was
not very heavy, and hardly any spray
came on board. The passengers, thinking
that they might get wet, all crowded to
the port side. I asked them to divide up.
and part take the starboard side, but no
attention was paid to my request. The
sea was somewhat chopDy. but not what
would be called heavy. Outside some dis
lance from shore it appeared much calmer
than in shore. / thought If we ran out
for some distance we would make better
except for the people crowding to the port
side Of the boat. l suddenly saw a heavy
swell bearing down on us. closely followed
by second one. 1 called again to the
passengers to take the starboard side of
the boat, but il was not done. The
first sea boarded us clean over
the bow and rushed aft. The second
followed closely, also boarding us over
the bow and washed down the port SIDE
This was caused by the heavy list on the
boat. When the first wave hit us cried:
For Gods sake get over on the other side.
] pulled the whistle rope then as a signal
of distress. and seeing the great danger,
tied 1t down. 1t kept blowing until the
Nicol went down. After the boat had
mond. a deck hand, and myself climbed
through the starboard windows of the
pilothouSe and went overheard. There
were number of people struggling in the
water all around. The life raft was near
the spot where the tug sank, and L made
on it, and hanging to 1t they struggled and
ca9sized 1t. When went over L was
struck by ii. and when / rose to the sur
face / managed to grasp it again. The
members of the crew Of the boat, pilot
Raymond Kelly, engineer John Farrell
ard James Fling were all picked up by
the tug Sayre. / was at the wheel from
the time left the dock until the acci-
dent occurred. except a short time while
at anchor. when / went below for dinner
1t has been stated that 1 was intoxicated
no liquor whatever. / do not think the
boat was overcrowded. and had the pas
sengers acted / told them, we would
have come through all right"
1t is now believed that not less than
thirty-six lives were lost by the sinking
of the tug, The, pilot house of the boat
was washed ashore at Highland beach.
and so was portion OF the life raft.
Among the wreckage washed ashore at
Parkerstown are two kegs of beer.

TROUBLE Ar ROUND POND.
Over 100 Shots Fired at a Passenger
Train by Mob of Citizens.

NORTH ENID, o. T., June 25.-The trou-
BILE at Round Pond is getting more serious
every hour. The presence of United States
marshals has not had the quieting effect de-
sired. crowd of citizens blew out the
cattle guards on the outskirts of the town
Saturday night and warped the rails so
that trains could not pass for several
hours. That trains were not ditched is due
to the vigilance of the deputy marshals.
Last night three people were shot. The
mob attacked the south-bound passenger
train that came through the town flying
with fusilade of bullets from Winches-
tiers. More than hundred shots were fired
at the train and some OF the cars were
perforated. A Mr.. F0ssett, of Kingfsher,
who was standing on the platform, had his
hat shot off and received slight scalp
wounds, and another passenger was struck
in the throat by bullet. ]. Johnson,
news dealer, of Round Pond, was hit in
the leg with a heavy charge of buckshot.
The deputy marshals did not fire a shot.
Marshal Nix said he wished. if possible, to
avoid a conflict which would surely result
in considerable loss of life. Marshal Nix
is here to-day and says all the power of the
Territory will be required to put down law

PERRY POLK WITH KELLY.
A Man Well Known Here Now in an In
dustrial Army.

With the Kelly industrial army at Louis
vile is a man who is well known IN many
States of the Union and well liked wher-
ever known. This man is reported by
Louisville papers to be Perry Polk, a
brother to James K. Polk, the philanthro-
pic Gamer at Greenwood. Perry Polk al
ways had an aversion to the easy life of
affiuence. and when he was very young
man chose the life Of a railroader to that
of ease and luxury. which he could have
enjoyed at his fathers home. He was en-
ployed as an engineer upon the j., M. & /.
railroad for while. and afterwards went
West. For a time he was with his brother
in charge of a st. Louis branch of the
Greenwood business. which was then con-
Quoted by the father of the man now at

ness life, however, and again went to rail-
reading. He has worked at nearly every
sort of work there. is to be done about
railroad. and has always turned to that
work when he tired of temporary ease
He likes the excitement OF the work oct
ter than the Injuries he might have.
After he left the St Louis branch he
worked on Western railroads for some
time till the wages of engineers became
ridiculously low. when he quit his work
and started out prospecting for gold with
two companions The party was well
equipped for their trip and went into the
Black Hills After they had been out for
time they were attacked by Indians
and young Folks horse was shot from
under him One of his companions rode
back to Red Cloud. from which place the
party had started, and told that the other
two had been killed by Indians. This
companion afterwards came to Green wood
and presented to the father of Polk an
instrument purporting to have been writ
ten by his son calling on the father to
pay the bearer $500 which the son owed
him. The companion told OF the fight with
the Indians and said that Perry had been
killed, incidentally mentioning how he had
stood over the son and endeayored 10 fight
off the Indians. A sister OF Perry exam
ined the writing and pronounced it a for
gerry. and afterwards Perry was heard
from. He has always kept in communi-
cation with his family at Greenwood.
A short time ago he desired 10 go 10
South America. but his father refused 10
advance the money The father was will
