Joseph Zeis Knocked Down and
Robbed on the Highway.

Joseph Zeis, ST., farmer about 80
years of age, residing in Renville
county, about two miles southwest OF
Fred Dworshak's farm, was held up
and robbed while going home from
Redwood Falls, on the turnpike just
across the Minnesota river bridge, be-
tween Z and 9 o'clock last Tuesday
evening.
As a result of the hold-up Mr.. Zeis
received an ugly wound with some
blunt instrument over the right eye.
The blow tore the skin to the temple,
in a triangular shape down over the
eye.
Mr.. Zeis came to Redwood Falls
early Monday morning and disposed
of several hogs to Emil Schmahl. He
received his pay for the same. He
started for home about six o'clock,
stopping at North Redwood while en-
route. He states that just as he crossed
the bridge he was struck ny some I'M
known person, whom he did not even
see, and the blow felled him to the
ground. He was knocked unconscious,
and did not recover for half an hour,
when he found himself lying on side
of the wagon. His team was standing
still and had evidently been stopped
by Mr.. Zeis' assailants. He examined
his pockets and found eight dollars in
silver missing.
Zeis got into the wagon and drove
to the home of his son. He bled pro-
fusely from the wound, and the loss
of blood compelled him to stop at the
latter place, where DIR. Pease of this
city was summoned after midnight
and dressed the wound. Zeis will re-
cover. No clue to the assailants have
been discovered.

"Haye them," said he, "of such nature
that all will feel a spirit of thankful
ness. We are living in an age when
too many of us are filed with too
much fault-fnding. Let's teach the
bright side of things" He plead for
closer relationship between teacher

PARK WORDEN MARRIED.
A Relative of Col. Davy Crockett
His Bride.

Word was received here by James
Smith, formerly of Eureka Springs,
Ark, last week to the effect that Park
Worden, former resident and one OF
the old settlers of this city, now locat-
ed at Eureka Springs, was married to
Mrs. Mary Rowe of Southern Arkan-
sas on Thursday evening of last week.
The bride is member of the
Methodist church land it is probable
that they we're married at the Metho-
dist church in Eureka Springs. She
is about 36 years of age, and first met
her new husband at the Springs last
winter. She is related to Davy
Crockett, the hero of the Alamo, and
one of the most original backwoods-
man that has ever represented a dis
trict in the halls of Congress. Ever
since she has been a widow she has
resided with Col. Crockett, grandson
of Davy Crockett, the former being a
noted Southern Arkansaw lawyer.
Mr.. Worden and his bride will
probably winter at Eureka Springs
1t is likely that they will pay Red,
wood Falls a visit with the opening OF
spring, as Mr.. Worden has business
interests here that will require his at,
tention at that time. His many friends
here extend hearty congratulations tc
both himself and bride and, no doubt
will be glad to welcome them to MIR
| Worden's old home.

CHICAGO DIME MUSEUM.

Assisted by the "Charmer,

CHICAGO, April 5.-A fire which bore a
very threatening aspect for a time and
created a panic broke this afternoon in a
Clark-street dime museum. 1t being Easter
Sunday, the two small theaters in the build
ing were entertaining audiences of more
than the usual proportions, at least one
thousand persons, who occupied every avail
able space being present. The crowds at
once made rush for the doors and for
time pandemonium reigned. The stage
manager, Charles Bell, took commanding
position and urged the people not to lose
their heads, and to his GOODNESS and self
possession is due the fact that the patrons
finally escaped without injury. The widest
confusion. however. prevailed among the
freaks and stage performers, but all es-
capped without injury, many Of the actors

Probably the greatest excitement attend
ing the fire was caused by incident that
happened on the third floor, where a collec-
ton OF huge snakes was on exhibition

KILLED TWENTY MEN
JOHN SELMAN, AFTER A LONG CA
REER, Is SHOT DOWN IN Ell PAsO.
He Has Been n Terror to Outlaws, and
Last August He Shot the Notori-
Gus Yves Hardin.

Ell PASO, Tex, April 5.-John Selman,
the victor of not less than twenty fatal
shooting affrays in Texas. the extermi-
nator of bad men, and the slayer of the
notorious John Wesley Hardin. is tonight

of cards, since which occurrence the rela-
tions between them have not been cordial.
This morning at o'clock they met in the
wigwam saloon and both were drinking.
Scarborough says that Selman asked him
to 'come out here: want to see you." and
that the two walked out into an alley be-
side the saloon, and Selman, whose son is
in the Juarez (Mex) jail on the charge
of abducting a young lady from this side
for immoral purposes, said to Scarborough:
II want you to go over the river with
me this morning; we must get that boy out
Scarborough expressed a willingness to go
should be made in Juarez. Scarborough
says that Selman then reached for his pis-
tol, with the remark: II believe I'll kill
YOU"
Scarborough pulled his gun and began
shooting. At the first shot Selman fell and
Scarborough fired two more shots as Sell
man attempted to rise. When Selman was
searched no pistol could be found on him
or anywhere around him. He says that he
had a pistol, but that it was taken from
him after he fell, and before the police
reached him. He was hit by every shot
Scarborough fired.
