Woman Irjured In a Collision Latest
From Capitol Hill.

James McKenna, who resides at the
corner OF Princeton avenue and Updike
street, while driving in a buggy along
North Main street, was run into near
the corner of Pettis street by car
riage going i'm the same direction. A
lady who accompanied MIR. McKenna
was thrown from the carriage and sus-
tanned a number of bruises. none of
which was OF serious nature. The
driver OF the other carriage kept right
along and his vehicle was apparently
not injured, though one OF the wheels
OF the McKenna carriage was broken.
The collision took place at about 9:45
o'clock last night.
John Mcmahon of 70 Randall street,
was kicked by horse he was leading
yesterday afternoon. The blow took
effect in the left leg just below the
knee.
William Schlinder of 146 Charles
street, exhibited horse on the square
this morning that was a remarkably
poor specimen for that section. The
animal had a sore back, skinned knees
and very general appearance of being
better dead. The agent of the society
that looks after such affairs was no.
titled.
A very handsome and intelligent
white and tan setter dog was run over
by train near the Gladstone avenue
bridge yesterday afternoon. The ami
NAL stopped a passenger train ana
word was brought to the Second police
station and officer McElroy went ia
the place where the dog was under the
train moaning piteously. Those In
charge OF the train wanted to run
ahead, but Officers Gilfoil and McElroy
objected until they pulled the dog out.
Agent Smith OF the society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals, shot the
badly injured dog. On the collar
around the dogs neck were the words

Officer Boss, while going along Null
berry street yesterday with another
officer, in search of some boys who had
been guilty OF some mischief. made
find that he thought, before investiga-
ton. would be big one. He spied ly-
ing in the road bag and thinking IT
contained valuables. hurried to grab IL,
but the bag began moving about OF it5
own accord. apparently just as the
officer reached it. He got trifle nerv-
Gus, but of course he had to find out
what was i'm IL. The officer that accom-
panied Mr. Boss laided out a plan Of
campaign after the suggestion was
made that the bag contained rats and
with great care the string about tho
neck of the bag was cut and Officer
Boss used his legs so as to give the anil
NAL a fair show for liberty. The bag
was shaken and instead of two or three
rats out of the bag came an old cat
that was tired OF life. The neighbors
who were watching the proceedings
laughed right out loud.
Three drunks and three suspicious
characters were taken care of last
night by the police Of the Second
station.
