DANCE THE HOURS AWAY
Haymakers Hold an Enjoyable Ball at
Zeininger Hall.

The lawmakers held ball last night
at the Zeininger hall on North Market
street, which was a very enjoyable at
fair. Quite an appreciate number of the
gentlemen present wore large straw hats
as the insignia of membership, and they
looked quite unique in their Sundaygo-
tome etings, which appeared rather out
of keeping with the hats. But fun was
what they were after, and none of them
had any ambition whatever TO appear as
walking advertisements for the dress
maker o. tailor, and consequently they
had a thoroughly good time.
The floor was as smooth as il could be
made, the music furnished by an orches-
ira was of the best. and the hearts of the
nierryn,akers being as light as those OF
a meery crowd of young people is won't
to De, all together made it a thoroughly
enjoyable affair. There was an ample
supply Of refreshments also to be had,
and this helped not little in the even
ing'S enjoyment.

CRUSHED BY CARS
BRAKEMAN ON TIE WICHITA AND
WESTERN badly HURT.
In Attempting to Couple Two Fiat Cars.
Upon Which is Piled steel Rails, He is
Caught just Above the Hips by the
Rails, Which Project Beyond the End of
the Car, aud BADLY Injured - He Is
Brought to This City and Taken to the
Wichita Bospitaf-It Was Thought He
Gould Not Recover.

Edward Moran, a brakeman on the
Wichita and Western, sustained what
will probably prove fatal injuries in an
accident near Hayiiand, hundred miles
west of Wichita, at about noon yester-
day, and was brought 70 the city imme-
diately on a special train, which ar
rived at about $50 yesterday afternoon.
DR.. J. y. Mccoy, of Haviland, came with
MIN and took him at once TO the Wich-
ita hospital. Every available medical
resource was used in his behalf, but DR..
Purdue. the Wichita and Western sur
geon here, said late last night that his
case was hopeless, and he might not live
till morning.

Wrecking. crew at work for several weeks
between Pratt and Greensburg, taking
up the rails and ties for shipment east,
and il was while at work with this
wrecking crew between Haviland and
Brennan that Moran was hurt yestar-
day. The details of the accident are
somewhat peculiar. Moran, il seems,
was attempting TO make a coupling be-
tween two fat cars when the accident
occurred. The cars had been rather care
lessly loaded with the rails and some of
them projected over the edges of each OF
the cars. Moran did not notice the fact
in time to escape, and when the cars
came together he was terribly crushed
above the hips by the projecting rails.
He was frightfully mangled and his inju-
ries were necessarily very painful, but
he was still conscious and able to talk
al late hour last night.
Moran has a number of relatives in
this city. His father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. John Moran, have lived here
q number of years. and his brother, Ds.-
vid Moran, is a freight conductor on the
Missouri Pacific, and lives at No. 343 on
Riverview. They spent last night at the
hospital at the bedside of the unfortu-
nate man.
Word was received from the hospital
AT late hour last night which convey
ed the. information that Moran died of
MS injuries near midnight.

NEVER TOO OLD TO HUNT.
Francis Bressett, Aged 107 Years
Takes Out a Deer License.

WAUSAU, Wis, Nov. ia license
was today issued by the county clerk
to Francis Bressett to hunt deer dur
ing the season of 1897. Bressett, to
whom the license was issued, is now
in his 1O7th year, having been born in
Three Rivers, Lower Canada, Oct. II,
1871. He resided at Three Rivers I'M
til his eighteenth year, when with his
parents he removed to New York state
and settled upon a farm situated on
the banks of the St Lawrence river,
at which place he was married to his
first wife. Mr.. Bressettl1 cannot now
remember how many years he resided
in New York, but after the death of
his first wife he came West and set
tied on farm, which wasilocated with
in three miles of the then business CEN
ter Of Chicago, where in 1887 he was
married to Weltha Jane sylvester, who
is still living, and who at the date of
her marriage to Bressett was only fiji
teen years of age.
In 1887 they moved to Wisconsin and
settled at Prairie du Sac, Sank county,
where they remained until the fall of
1889, when they in company with sew
eral others came to this county, trav-
cling with OK teams. They arrived at
Little Bull Falls where the thriving
village Of Mosinee now stands, on New
Years day, 1910, and have ever since
resided in this county. During his resi-
dence here he has followed the life of
a Woodsman, lumberman and farmer.

New York Man Couldn't Get q

MANDAN, N. D., Nov. 13-A some
what remarkable divorce case has just
been tried in open court here by Judge
Winchester The parties are John w.
Parry, late of New York, plaintiff, and
Mary A. Parry, defendant. The charge
was cruelty and mental suffering by
reason of chickering's, nagging, and the
general doings of a termagant. Mr..
Parry went on the stand and claimed
that ever since his marriage in 1887
his wife had bothered him, and that
about the year 1893 her chickering's be-
came intolerable. His picture of how
he lost flesh, was untitled for his work
as clerk in leading wholesale drug
store, where he got $2,250 a year, was
touching. Mr.. Parry made a good i'm
preston, and stood his cross-examina-

that since Mr.. Parry's residence in

that the couple had been together

night the Carlton Speciality company
commenced an entertainment, part of
which was to be a kinetoscope as prin-
ciple feature. Just as Prof. Thomas
was getting the apparatus in working
order it exploded, filling the corner with
flames, which caught the curtain which
inclosed it, and made quite a large
blaze. The people took fright and made
a rush for the door. Had 1t not been
for a few clear heads, who managed to
get the rush stopped, a very serious
accident must have happened. The
hall was packed, with a good sprink-
ling of women and children. The fire
was put out in a few minutes, but the
smoke was so overpowering that it was
impossible to stop in the hall more than
two or three minutes at a time.
Prof. Thomas got his hands and face
very badly burned in turning off the
tank of ether, and claims if he had
not done so it would have exploded
