HIS FOOT CRUSHED.
John Daniel Atte mpted to Jump on a Moving Train.-He will be Cripple for
 Life.

The foolish act of boy caused an accident to happen on the Cotton Belt railroad at Linden street, yes- terday afternoon. The boy was John Daniels, a son of Daniels, the tailor. John has been in the habit of jumping off and on moving trains on the Cotton Belt road for some time past, although he has been warned time and again by railroad men to desist from the practic, but he would not heed the warning. Yesterday afternoon as the 5:30 o'clock local freight was approach ing, John concluded to steal ride. He swung on car as it passed him, but he lost his grip and fell under the car. The wheel caught his right foot and mutilated it SO badly that it was necessary ro amputate several of his toes, and now the boy will be a cripple for the remainder of his life.

A TERRIBLE FATE.
Three Boys Run Away fro m Home and Are Crushed to Pieces Under Car on Which
 They Were Steal

Sunday night q most horrible ae- cident occurred near Brownsboro, Tex, on the Cotton Belt railroad . Sunday afternoon the three brothers whose ages were 10, 12 and II years. respectively, ran away from the home of their father. who is t far mer living near Brownsboro.
 During Sunday night the lads boarded freight train and at tempted to steal ride, but in some manner all three of them fell under the wheels and were crushed to death.
 Monday morning the father missed his sons and started out in search of them on the passenger train which arrived here yesterday. The en- gineer of the passenger train, on nearing Brownsboro, noticed some thing on the track and stopped his train to investigate. The objects proved to be the mutillated remains of the three boys, each of whose bodies had been groHd to pieces. The remains were gathered up and car ried into the station and there turned over 10 the heart-broken father.

THE PRETTY LITTLE ACTRESS DRESSES AS A
 BOY.
The Newspapers Are Having Over Her-One Says She is the Prettiest Boy on
 the American
 Stage.

The newspapers are raving over Fife Ellsler's Rosalind One critic says it is pity that Shakespeare cannot see her, and another declares she is the prettiest boy ever seen upon an American stage. This charming actress will be at the Opera-house tomorrow night, ap- bearing in "As You Like It. ,
 Fancy Our Fife" in legitimate roles. Fancy her in doubtlet and hose, singing the beautiful Cuckoo song in the histori- cal forests of Arden. "Run, run, Orlando, carve on every tree; the fair, the ebaste, the inexpensive she. Years ago Fife Ellsler, under the tuition of her talented father, was a Shakespearian student and it is almost pity that Hazel K;rkeo robbed the stage of one who bade fare to be the Nelson of America, however, it is not too late, the little woman is still young and has lost none Of her chic. Per haps she has gained power, and we trust there is many years of triumph yet before her. This season she carries quite a large company, many of whom are qualified to render the beautiful music so often omitted from Shakespeare's com edies. Mr. Frank Weston is we'll spoken of as Touchstone. We all know he is an excellent comedian and will welcome him as the premier fool. As the fool who tells the tale Of life or death as he looks upon the dial, as the one who rants and raves until the verdant William fees in terror, as the one who uneovers many frailties of his race, he is good. His explanation of "a quarrel on the seventh cause, which is true to life, he says: Ct is 8 great peacemaker That more men has given and taken the lie direct, but when they met one generally said: If you said so, then I said so, and they shook hands and swore to be brothers" Yes, Miss Ellsler's fool is good.

SHOOTING AT WALNUT LAKE.
The Seamans Brothers Attempt To Kill Isaac
 BankstOn.

For several months there has been a feud between the Bankstons and the Seamans families, of Wal nut Lake, on account of the fact that at one time one of the Bank ston brothers was found in the bed room of Miss Seamans, under suspicious circumstances. Since that time several shooting affrays between members of the two families have occurred. The last of these affrays occurred at Wal nut Lake Sunday afternoon, and it came very near ending fatally for one of the participants. The two Seamans brothers met Isaac Bankston and opened fire on him with their revolvers, Banketon returned their fire and after twelve or fifteen shots had been fired it was found that Isaac Bankston had been hit in the shoulder and one of his legs broken.
 Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Merritt left for Walnut Lake this morning to investigate the shoot ing and will take steps to punish the guilty parties. Isaac Bank ston is 8 son of ex-Sheriff Bank ston, of Desha County, who was killed a few years ago.

MAYOR sUTRo REPLIES.
Denies That He Intended to Charge th

Denies That He Intended to Charge th e
Almshouse for Wood Supplied.
The enemies of Mayor Sutro who have
been trying to prejudice him in the eyes
of the public by claiming that he, as q
public official, was selling wood to pub
lie institution, were effectually check
mated yesterday when the Mayor sent the
following communication to the Board OF
Supervisors:
1t appears from the newspapers that Mr..
Flanagan, one of my employees, acting on zig
own responsibility, has agreed to sell some
wood to Mr.. Weaver of the Almshouse for S.
per cord and the superintendent alleging that
he had to pay So cord for the same char
acter of wood down at the wharf and there
after haul the same to the Almshouse.
My wood is located very near that public
institution. 1t further appears that these facts
have been commented upon as being il con-
f1iet with certain sections of law. 1t hos not
been my intent to bring myselfin opposition TO
any statutory provision. Therefore, to relieve
any and all persons from any criticism, even
ostensIbly justified by the letter of the statute
my instructions have been given to Mr.. Elan.
nagan not to deliver any more wood to the
Almshouse, and for the wood that has been
delivered, it is my hope that the municipality
will permit me to donate the same for the
benefit of that institution, it not being my
desire to demand any pay for the same. Very
respectfully yours, ADoLPH SUTRo

case, one of the legal fights of its entire ex.
istence. And it has lost.
Mr.. DELMAS' ARGUMENT
The Evidence as Reviewed by the
Counsel for the De-
fenSe.


+ Yesterday afternoon when the court
rooms were all deserted and the doors
locked and the clerks and Judges and law
yers all gone home and the jury were in
their room celebrating, the corridors were
still haunted by late-comers, who hoped
to hear something of the wind up of
the Martin case.
During the close of Mr.. Delmas' argu-
ment in the morning the courtroom was
the scene of the same crush and struggle
for place that has characterized every day
of the last week of the trial.
Mr.. Delmas took up the broken thread
of his argument ct the reference to the
ticket-scalpers and Martins alleged at
tempt to sell the ticket to them. He said
that there was no proof that Martin had
ever offered the ticket for sale at Ottin.
gers or anywhere else or that the ticket
had ever been bulletined, although the
other side had expressly stated such proof
would be furnished.
Then returning to the handwriting and
those round and sharp pointed Ms and
Ms. The conductor at the Oakland mole
IN the proper discharge of his duty had
called Martin attention to the discrepancy
in the shape of these letters as written on
the ticket and as written by Martin at his
request. and Martin had thereupon written
the name with the round points as he was
in the habit of doing at times, ard the
writing was satisfactory and the passenger
was allowed to go on his way. This con-
ductor had done his duty, and not acted
like man setting trap for or trying to
deceive the passenger. Any bank cashier

was not there to entrap his passengers.
1t was his business only to satisfy him
self of Martins identity and to do every
thing possible to do SO. So he understood
it, it seems. for he did not peremptorily
take the ticket up and put the passenger
off the train. Where is that first sigma
ture-the first when the return trip was Just
begun-the one that satisfied Hub bard :?
1t was made with the sharp pointed M IS
| and Ms that SO troubled these conductors
Hubbard says he gave it back; Martin says
he did not. Every other of the signatures
secured from Martin, every business card,
every other paper having to do with this
transaction is brought in here save this
one. Why is that2 1t is because that sig
nature was just the same as this one, for
which the passenger was put off the train.
at is charged that this man was trying
to perpetrate fraud. If he wished to do
so would he have ticketed his baggage with
the name of George N. Martin and had
his business cards and business letters
with him bearing his name2
"Why should man who wanted any
one to believe he was not George N. Mar
tin have carried such evidence around
with him to Illustrate his own plan-that
plan being that he was not George N. Mar
tin?
at is an admitted fact that he exhibited
all these evidences to the conductor, and it
is not possible that he would have done so
had his idea been to make the conductor

had made no more bitter legal battle in
the courts of this county than that Of its
opposition tn the suit of George N. Martin
for damages for having been thrown of
one of its trains for no better reason than
that conductor did not like the way he
wrote his signature.
The fight has been waged for three
weeks before Jud -e Daingertield.
On the one side was the leading jury
lawyer for the company, General Barnes,
and on the other, for the crippled plaintiff,
ID. M. Delmas.
The company had brought into requisi-
tion all its tremendous resources in such
warfare. Witnesses were brought from
the most distant parts of the country,
passes and travelling expenses being paid
and a general holiday being provided.
Many of the witnesses brought their
wives along and put up at the best hotels.
That great engine for supplying informa-
ton to order-private information for
public purposes-the Pinkerton Detective
Agency, was enlisted to blacken the char
acter of the plaintiff.
But it all went for nothing. After but a
couple of hours debate in their room
after the Judges charge the jury brought
in a verdict for plaintiff for $25, 900.
The Southern Pacific Company knew
why it was making this fight. 1t was not
to avoid the payment of $4,000 in this
case alone.
For the case of Martin is only one of a
great number of similar recent indignities
suffered by patrons of the road. The order
went out with the Inauguration of the
new management that conductors must
require the most exacting Identification
of passengers. In fulfilling these orders
great mum ber of passengers holding bona
fide tickets have been put off the trains at
various places.
AS stated, initiatory steps have been
taken upon claims for damages for redress
of these outrages that will run up in
amount to quarter of million. So the
company knew why it was making in this

Asiatic Thespians at sutro.s.

There was a delighted audience of fully 5000
people at Sutro baths yesterday afternoon to
witness the initial performance of the most
famous troupe of Chinese singers, acrobats
and jugglers that has ever visited this coast
The costuming was of the most elegant de-
scription, and the tumbling and pyramid work
especially took the crowds fancy. There are
over eighty performers, instead of fifty as ad-
vertised, and each one is an artist in his line
1t argues well for the foresight of Colonel
Robinson and Mayor Sutro that the troupe
was engaged, and there will undoubtedly be
an immense crowd ct the baths to-day, for the
opportunity of seeing a thorough Chinese per-
formance By such an excellent company of
