investigation to BE Made of Accident
of Yesterday.
Coroner Carr will hold an inquest tomor-
row morning in the case of c. c. Hessler,
the bricklayer, who was killed yesterday
on 3 street southeast between Sd and 4th
streets, as published in yesterdays Star.
Thomas Carroll, a bricklayer, j. F. Jones
and John Kirby, carpenters, and Gus Will
liams, colored, hod carrier, who were so
painfully injured, appeared to be improv-
ing this morning, and 1t is believed they
will recover.
The building was being remodeled and
the work was under the supervision Of Con-
tractor August Getz. During the absence
of Mr.. GetZ and his son, Hessler acted as
foreman, and Mr.. Getz says he QHessler)
was in charge Of the work at the time the
accident occurred. The bricks taken from
the second-story front had been piled on
the second floor of the building, instead of
being sent to the pavement, and it is said
there was no effort made to support the
joists under the added weight These tim
bers had been in the building many years
and when the weight became too heavy the
crash came, without a moments warning,
and the five men were buried under the
bricks, mortar and timberS.
A local alarm of fire was sent in and an
engine company responded. The patrol
wagon from the fifth precinct, with several
officers, also fastened to the scene and the
police assisted the volunteers in the work
of rescuing the men.
Hessler was the second man taken from
hospital, but he lived only few minutes
after the institution was reached The re-
sponsibility for the sad affair will be de-
termined by the cProner's jury.

A Cherokee Romance.

From the Topeka Journal.
The marriage yesterday of Richard Ma
lone and Miss Mary Hildreth at Caldwell,
Kan, is the elimination of romantic ex-
perience.
When the Cherokee strip was opened for
settlement on September IS, 1893. Malone
and Miss Hildreth, at the report of the
signal gun along the southern Kansas Dor
der, on their well-trained horses, made
the famous race over the plains together
for home in the Indian lands.
The claims they desired lay five miles
south of Caldwell. They were maintaining
a good lead in the mad rush, when sud-
denly the girths of Miss Hildreth's saddle
broke. Her escort saw her dilemma, REIN
ed in his horse and assisted her. She could
60 no further, SO they staked two claims
side by side.
They then erected a house on Miss Hill
dreth's claim just across the line. Malone
erected barn, in which he lived during his
enforced residence on his claim. Miss Hill
dreth occupied the house. Last week they
both proved up their claims, and yesterday
they were married.
