CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 2O.-Au effort
was made Sunday to resuscitate DR.. Aug
ust Peter Bozzarro, the unknown" Of
Coxey's army, who committed suicide
Saturday morning by taking seventy five
quarter graius OF morphine. The exper-
iment was made by J. F. Chang, a Chi
nese physician.
Chang presented himself at the late
home of Bozzarro on Sunday night and
told Mrs. Bozzarro that he thought it was
possible to bring her husband back to
life. Mrs. Bozzarro was willing that the
attempt should be made. DR.. Chang
produced a bottle containing a white
liquid. portion of which he poured
down the throat of the dead man. Then
he left the house. giving directions that
the medicine should be administered
every half hour.
Mrs. Bozzarro kept at the task all night
without avail, and in the morning notified
Coroner Arbuckle. who required her
to cease her efforts, as the corpse had
been embalmed.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Unknown Man Run Over Near
Topeka This Afternoon
While Walking on the Union
Pacific Track.
INSTANTLY KILLED
Was It. a Case of Suicide
or Not?
Man Refused to Get Off the Track
When Warned.
INSTANTLY KILLED

An unknown man was killed this aft
ernoon at 1890 about mile and a half
east of Topeka, on the Union Pacific
tracks. AS the westbound Rock Island
train, which is due in Topeka at 1850,
was nearing the old slaughter house a
mile and half east of the city, man
was seen walking in the middle of the
track, carrying carpet sack.
The engineer whistled several times
but the man did not get off the track,
When the engine was almost upon him,
after it was too late to stop the train the
man turned and crouched. The engine
struck him and passed over his pros
trate form. Then the body was thrown
into barbed wire fence about 20 feet to
the side The train was stopped aud
backed to the spot The unfortunate
man was put on stTetcher and brought
to the city where the police took the
body in charge.
Upon examination it was found that
death was caused instantaneOusly by the
locomotive striking the man fairly on the
neck, breaking it. The chest was
crushed. The wheels ran over his legs
below the knee. almost severing the left
one There were some bad bruises on
the shoulder and there was a deep cut
on the left one
1n0 Elgub SuOO100E WAS uOEEIOly O4SIO~
Gated, the arm being drawn down under
him. Death was undoubtedly instanta-
neous. There is no clue as to who the
dead man is, as there were no papers
found upon him that would even give
any intimation as to who he was or
where he came from. The police are
of the opinion that they have seen him
in Topeka. One officer thinks he lives
at Valencia. He was a man of perhaps
80 years and was dressed rather poorly.
His hair and mustache were black with
few gray hairs. The only papers found
upon him were prescription which the
police think is a recipe for an artificial
whisky, and several wholesale liquor
house advertisements in his pockets, and
a small piece of paper on which WAS the
following.

A small purse was found which con-
tanned $1.15 in cash. The body was
taken to Stoker's morgue where it now

AVERAGE Is BUSHELS.
That Is the Estimate on AIinnesOta's
Wheat Crop.

That Is the Estimate on AIinnesOta's
Wheat Crop.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The Orange Judd
Farmer this week publishes the result of
a special investigation covering the
wheat crop in $50 counties in Minnesota
and the Dakotas. The crop was har-
vested ten days to two weeks earli er
than usual and grain is heavy, but
with some complaint of quality on ac-
count of smut and rains while in the
shock.
~Threshing is well advanced, and local
estimates of rate of yield, covering 90
per cent of the wheat area of the three
states shows a rate considerably in excess
of what previous conditions indicated. In
Minnesota the best yields are in
the northwest, eastern and southern
counties ranging from 90 bushels in
Rice to % in Leseur, but there are few
counties of small yields, like Cottonwood
ct 10 and Meeker at 1875.
The average for the state is 19 bush
els. The best yields in North Dakota
are in the Red River valley, running
from 10 in Trail to 26 in Caviller.

A Ramed Heroine.

There was a collision up in the St. Clair
fats the other night between propeller
and q steam yacht from Buffalo The
yachts masts were snapped off close to the
deck, and part of her rail was carried
away. But after the passengers and crew
had hurriedly assembled on deck and tax
en- stock of themselves it was thought that
all on board had escaped without injury.
Suddenly there came an sgonized cry from
below:
"Where is my leg? Won't somebody
help me to find my leg?''
An excitabIe girl among the passengers
became frantic at this appeal.
"Why don't you do something for the
poor fellow? Aren't all you great haIk-
ing men ashamed to stand there and let
him suffer? Captain, can't you do some
thing?'
But the captain, strange to say, only
laughed low, cruel laugh.
Shame on you, fiends in human forml''
woman, but no man shall die unassisted
before my very eyes.
And with withering glance at the
strangely reluctant men on deck the hero
inc plunged down the companion way.
The cries and groans had ceased when
she reached the bottom of the steps In
stead she found the engineer calmly strap
ping on wooden leg.
It's all right now, miss, - he explained.

INDIANA CORN DRIES UP.
A DrOuth in Central Indiana One Third
of the Usual Rainfall.

DrOuth in Central Indiana-One- Third
of the Usual Rainfall.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug 2O.-The con-
tinued drought throughout central Indi-
ana is now causing farmers to fear that
the corn crop will fall short of the pros
poets that they were ready to predict
when the rains came following the pre-
vious long dry SPELL
The corn by reason of dry weather had
run its roots far down into the earth to
get needed moisture, instead of the roots
remaining near the surface as in wet
seasons. When the rain finally came
the corn took on deep dark green and
stood firm with every prospect for a big
yield with the aid of occasional show
els, but these showers have failed to
come,
The normal rainfall for the year from
January 1 to August 19. would be 80 50
inches, but in 1895 the rainfall has been
only 1878 inches.

BOYS BUGGY WHIPPED.
They Will Have the Man Who Thrashed
Them Arrested.

Warrants were issued this afternoon by
Justice Guy for the arrest of II. M. Nc
Han of Oakland. The latter owns a
melon patch which the small boys fre-
quently despoil. Sunday he chased sew
eral intruders out and in doing so en-
countered John and Chas Mcmillan, two
boys, standing in the road outside.
He thrashed them with buggy whip
and then had them arrested. AS they
were not in his patch and were simply
onlookers they have filed complaint
against him charging him with assault
and battery. One OF the boys carries the
scsEs of the whip on his face.
