Jake Klein Badly Hurt.

Jake Klein, prominent young business
man here, was seriously and perhaps fatally
injured yesterday while driving by being
thrown from his buggy. In company with
Wes Adkins Mr.. Klein was driving spir-
tied horse which he had recently purchased
when the animal became frightened at a
passing engine and ran away. Both oc-
cupants Of the buggy We're thrown to the
ground, but Mr.. Adkins injuries are repre-
sented by few bruises and scratches. Mr..
Klein was severely injured about the head
and the. base of his skull was fractured.
The accident occurred near the Burlington
bridge on the boulevard and it was some
time before a carriage with doctor ar
rived. As soon as possible Mr.. Klein was
removed to the South Omaha hospital and
several local and Omaha doctors sent for.
Examination showed that the most serious
injury was a fracture at the base OF the
brain. A number of bruises were found on
the forehead and one eye was entirely
closed. After removal to the hospital the
patient remained unconscious, although he
apparently made an effort to speak several
times. Friends and relatives were sent for
and everything possible known to medical
science was done to save the patients life.
Mr. Klein was married on July 26 to
Miss Bertha Newman Of Omaha, and only
returned few days ago from a wedding
trip through Colorado

races decided that the Seawanhaka inter-
national challenge cup for the small yachts
will remain in the possession of the Royal
st. Lawrence Yacht club of Montreal for
this year. Challenger, the yacht which
represented the Seawanhaka Corinthian
club, won the first race on a foul, but Do
minion, the Canadian boat, won the next
three handily. Today 1T looked more like
a yacht race than any of the previous con-
tests and in light wind Challenger led
all the way around the first round of the
course On the second round the wind had
freshened sufficiently to allow Dominion to
get In and from the start of that round un-

increasing it's lead as each round of the
journey was completed. 1t was the best
show that Challenger had made, but the
elements were against 1t and the Canadian
again demonstrated its superiority in
breeze by winning in 2:211a.
The American yachtsmen were opposed to
the selection of Dominion to defend the cup
on account of it's construction SO the men,
bers Of the Royal st. Lawrence Yacht club
offered $1,000 trophy for race between
Challenger and Spectator, the best boat
in the Canadian fleet that was built in the
same plan as Challenger. Mr.. Crane and
his associates decided that they did not
have time to remain here to sail the series
for the handsome trophy that the Cana

II NTXrf igI fNaTy

Yesterday afternoon Bill Liddiard, who is
| assistant superintendent of the Indian con-
gress at the exposition grounds, brought
dozen of the prominent redskins to South
Omaha to view the stock yards and packing
houses. Among those who made the trip
were Mr.. and Mrs. He Vets 1t Of the ASSN
naboine tribe, Black Bear and Charging
Hawk of the Sioux nation, Josh, sub chief
Of the White Mountain Apaches, Lela-sa-
haha, a buxom Apache maiden from the San
Carlos, Arizona, reservation, and a number
of others of lesser note. Two Interpreters,
James H. Stevens of Arizona, and Dan Mar
tin Of Montana accompanied the party and
explained the yarding and slaughtering of
cattle to the children Of the plains. At the
yard the visitors were introduced to General
Manager Kenyon. who did all he could to
make their short stay pleasant After
looking over the cattle in the pens and goins
through the new exchange building the In
dians were taken to Swift's plant, where
| they witnessed the killing of cattle and
! sheep. The white mans method Of slaughter
| ing was a surprise to the visitors and they
looked in astonishment when told that on
an average a steer was killed every minute.
On leaving the killing floors the visitors
| were taken to the ice-making machines and
this caused considerable amusement. The
| Indians felt Of the frozen pipes and could
| not understand how ice could be made on
| hot day. On going into another part of the
| refrigerating plant every one was overcome
with the strong smell of ammonia and even
| the most stalwart of the braves were forced
J to shed a few tears. call at the city
offices was next made and while at the city
! clerks Office the entire party was decorated
with official badges Of the exposition. Lid
diard stated that he proposed bringing all
of the Indians now in camp at the exposi-
| ton grounds here in small parties in order
| to show them how the white man kills the
meat he eats. While at Swift's the Indians
! were anxious to obtain some beef s!news
| which they use for thread, and they were
greatly disappointed at not being able to
obtain what they desired
| The appearance of the Indians on the
streets dressed in bright colored blankets
and moccasns caused quite a futter and
the visitors were followed by quite crowd
from the time they left the cars until they
departed.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 16.-To the Ed
itor OF The Bee: In your issue Of the
18th inst. notice an account Of the stop
ping Of runaway on Farnam street on
August H. l happened to be within twenty
feet OF Mrs. Cooks buggy at the time the
wagon shaft struck the front wheel. Per-
ceiving that an accident was about to oc-
cur l shouted to the man in the wagon
but he paid no heed, When the buggy was
struck the horse took fright and dashed
down the street with Mrs. Cook between
the front wheel and body Of the buggy. 1t
was a wonder to me that she was not killed.
The gentleman who stopped the horse de-
serves the greatest praise. All our heroes
have not gone to the war. Hobson sink
ing his ship In Santiago harbor has ten
chances to one for his life. but the man
who throws himself at a maddeped horse.
rushing with frightful speed, takes every
chance against life. This was done by
Mr.. Case. He deserves the thanks and
praise OF the community for his heroic act.
Sincerely yours, b. f. STEPHEN.
