 The wind storm IMonday night was one of the most severe ever known in Brinkley. For.an hour the velocity was so great that it became alarming and many of our people got out of bed and prepared for the worst. Among the casualties of the blow was the wrecking of the Oil Mill smoke stack.
 R. G. Bonner, of Paris, Texas, who married Brinkley girl, Miss Zuline Garrison, fell under the wheels of moving cars a few days ago at his home and was in- stantly killed.

Train WTecker Worden ConTessss.

San Frs ncisco, Feb. S.-Salter D. Worden, convicted of wrecking a mail train bearing a guard of United States soldiers near Sacramento during the great railroad strike in 1894, and in whose behalf the su- preme court of the United States declined to take favorable action on his plea fer new trial. has con fessed his crime to Governor Budd, with a view to receiving a commu- talion of the dea' b sentence from the executive of the state.
 WoIden's confession covers 3,700 words and gives the full details of crime, telling that he with several others had been ordered by a com mittee of strikers to remove the rails near the Yolo bridge for the purpose of wreckilg the train car rying troops. He gives the names of his accomplices aud makes known many details of the work of the strikers heretofore unknown to the general public.
 Ex-PIesident Cleveland inter ested himself in Worden's behalf out of sympathy for the mother of the condemned man, and Governor Budd determined to probe the mat ter to the bottom before deciding the case, with the result that Wor- den made a confession in the pres ence of Warden Aull of Folsom peniten.iary, and stenographer.

Indians Consent To A Railroad Right
 

kndlaBS Consent To hAllroad hl6nt
 of way
 As the Jaw recently passed by congress giving the right of way to the Gila Valley, Globe and North ern railroad 10 cross the San Car los reservation, provided that the consent of the Indians to the prop ositions must be obtained a big conferences was held at San Carlos on February 8. Although some of the chiefs had previously been op- posed to the railroad being built, at thls meeting after the law of con gress was read and explained to them 1t was found that the Indians were practically unaL imous in favor of giving their consent for the build ing of the road through their do main to Globe, the matter of con sent in favor of the railroad com pany on the amount to be paid to the Indians being discussed by the agent.
 The principal chiefs and the rep resentatives of the railroad agreed upon the amount which the railroad will have to pay. It. will be between $7,O0O and Sl0.000 to the Indians as a tribe, with additional payment for any damage done to cultivated lands, ditches, fences and roads. On Monday night l5OO Indians were feasted by the railroad people, and a grand Apache Isdian dance was kept up all night.

KLONDIKE CHAT.
Aurora BOressIs ss It Appears Ia the NOrth.-CharseteFtst of the
 Native Dog.

A. F. Smith reports that when he and his companions were on their way out from Dawson, they wit messed the most beautiful sight he ever saw in the heavens. It was in November, and he said that the sun would barely show itself above the horizon till it would again retreat below 1t and rsmain hidden for twen- ty-one or twenty-two hours. Day, including twilight, would last only about three or four hours. In the early morning hours, on several nights, he said, most brilliant light. of various hues, occurred in the heavens. He said he could describe it only as having the appearance of an immense umbrella. with it's cen ter directly overhead and it's sides extending down in streams of light to within a short distance of the horizon. he outer edges of it were not even, but appeared just like the ribs of ap umbrella with the slightly curving edge of the cloth between them, only that the entire thing was composed of streaks of light. Att first they were unable to account for i,, but iis repetition on several days, just before the break of day, finally convinced them that the singularly beautiful phenomenon was none other than the Aurora Borealis, or what IS known as northern lights. MT. Smith said he had frequently seen this phenomenon at his old Indiana home, but seeing only a small portion of it, there was no comparison to it as witnessed near the Arctic Circle, where they were at the time.
 Speaking cf the native dogs used in transportation in that country, he says that they do not know anything but work. That they have none of the instincts or nature of domestic animal found in lower attitudes and have no special affection for their master or owner more than for an entire stranger. They are good natured and work we'll, but are friendly to every one. They have to be constantly chained up, though, to prevent them from running away, as he says they are smart enough to realize that their lot is to work, and try to escape 1t whenever opportu nIty pruse nts itself.

A Two Headed Baby.

MT. and Mrs. Henry Ullmer, known to many former Tombstoners in this city, are receiving considera- ble notoriety in Cincinnati over the fact that their first born child is a boy with two heads. The child Is two weeks old and although it had taken no nourishmeDV in that time it is still alive. The baby is we'll formed in body and limbs, but has two heads upon such a short neck that they set on the child's shoulders. The normal head Is of 8 size proportionate to the size of the body and the other is abnormally large and turned to one side so that the counter line of the face is above the baby's left shoulder. The heads are complete in every detail, and the baby can see plainly from the eyes of either head, The organs of hearing, sight, smell and taste seem to be perfect in both heads.-Her- aid,

 Zamloch appears at the Daks for three nights, commencing Tuesday night. An entire change of bill will be given every night. Popular prices of admission prevail during the ZamiOch engagement and the bake will undoubtedly be taxed to its capacity Tuesday night. Prof. Zamloch has been receiving unlim- ited praise from press and public where ever he has played this season. The following notice is from the Ventura Democrat, Nov. l2th:
 A crowded house greeted Zan- loeh last evening at Armory hali, and the entertainment furnished by this greatest of copjurers and his constitutionally tired comedian and assistant, Billy" was excellent throughout. Zamloch in his mar vicious mystifcations, Is the most successful operator of his class to- day, barring none--beIng an equSl of the famous Herman. who l. ss caused wonder among the people of all countries and kingdoms.
 Zamloch is easy, graceful, cour- teous and humorous-his very de- ception practiced with complete success. His illusions, to the au- dience, appear outside tte range of possibility and his exercise of the black art of neeromancy is accom- plished without a pin heads chance of detection.
 He is charming in bis manner aud an evening passed in his presence, Is one long 10 be remembered. The presents given away are numerous and expensive.

The Great ZamIoeh.

On next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings the great Wizard Zamloch appears at the opera house. Most of our readers will remember the excellent entertainment given here before by this great artist. We clip the following from the Fresno California ExpOsitOr: l didn't feel quite sure of what Zamloeh would be like, so went to his first enter tainment prepared to be disap- pointed. Instead of that enjoyed every moment. The man is clever and performs his tricks in a simple, natural, easy way that is charming. There Is sometimes such mad haste an l helter skelter rushing over the stage in these exhibitions of legerde- main that one Is tired to death and the mind grows confused trying to follow the rapid changes. Zam- loch's repose and clear speech give each act its proper weight and dis tinctuess. Then he has a pleasing personality, and a way of seeming to take his audience into his confidence that is very nice. When there are so many fakirs on the road I feel that it is but fair to give an honest entertainment a word of honest commendation.

Sheriff Ruffner, of Yavapai county, last night brought down from Pres colt an insane person with the high name of Nick Koko. He left Koko at the county jail to be taken to the asylum, while he re- turned at once to Prescott. This morning the jailor went to Koko's cell to prepare him for the trip to the asylum, but Koko eyinced a liking for his quarters and would not dress himself. That job was performed for him after very much trouble, and Koko had to be carried down stairs. He then lay on the floor singing to himself and would not heed anything until he was forcibly carried to the carriage and taken to the asylum.-Herald.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Two Men Killed in the Copper Queen
 Mine at Btsbes

A fatal accident occurred in the Copper Queen mine Friday evening, about 5:30, which resulted in the death of two we'll known miners, E. C. Clark and W. s. Young. The men were engaged in blasting and had loaded two holes and lighted the fuses connecting the explosive materials. The first one burned. but the second one being in damp spot gave them same trouble, and while they were busted with 1t the charge first lighted went of with terrible effect, horribly mangling the bodies of the two unfortunate men. Clark was instantly killed by the explosion. Young, with broken leg and GOV cred with wounds, with great effort managed to crawl out of the tunnel and was found an hour later by Charles Warner in dying condition. He was barely able 10 tell of the accident, and was taken to the hos pital, where he died a few hours afteTward. Both victims of the tai asi rophe were we'll and favorably known there. aad their sad fate k much deplored by their large nun her of friends Tbe funeral was largely attended.-Pheuix Herald.
