Penalty Inflicted by = Vienna Family ON
. III eartless Usurer.
A late dispatch from Vienna says
A few days ago a clerk named
Ladislaus Klodecki died at Sanok,
in Galicia, leaving an aged mother
and 3-year-old daughter unpro-
vided for. He also left a debt of
$50 due to usurer named Nathan
Lieber.
As soon as he heard Of his debt
or's death, Lieber obtained power
TO seize the contents of the house
and thus secure the value of the
money loaned. He entered the
room where the deceased was lying
and removed all the furniture from
the room. He even took the corpse
from the bed and threw it on the
ground in order to be able to take
the bed away. The wreaths laid
around the dead were seized, as
was also valuable ring drawn oil
the dead mans finger.
Lieber's act SO enraged the rela-
tives and friends Of the deceased
that after removing the corpse they
locked up the heartless Insurer III
the room and, setting fire to the
house, burned him alive.

Boy Killed at Namp0.

Willie Hall, the S-year-old son
of James Hall of Nampa, was run
over at the depot there on the 25th
ult., by the engine that pulls the
Boise train and instantly killed.
The little fellow was playing on the
main line with some other boys
and were obscured in cloud OF
steam that issued from an engine
on a side track. The Boise engine
was detached from the train and
started down the main track. The
engineer and fremen said they saw
nothing of the boys, who were en-
shrouded in the escaping steam.
The engine struck the boy square
ly and passed over his body. The
brakeman was standing on the step
at the rear of the tender and did
not notice the boy until the engine
had proceeded some distance. He
ran back and picked him up. He
was dead. Under his head was a
pool of blood, but there was no
evidence of the engine having rolled
or dragged him. The blow evidently
killed him instantly. His cap was
found on the cow catcher. The
other boys were hurled to one side
and escaped with slight injuries.

Fred's New Fusion Scheme.

The Malad Enterprise makes the
following facetious comment on
ex-senator Dubois approaching
marriage to Miss Edna Whited of
Dakota, president Of the State
Mothers Club:
There is another conspicuous demon
stration of Fred's patriotism and gallant
ry besides an intimation that the realiza-
ton of the need of mother finally forced
itself upon him. His fine filial passion
could not be satisfied with an ordinary
mother but he must needs have q presi-
dent of mothers. We wish the young
couple much joy and sincerely hope
Fret will be good to the president of
the mothers club, otherwise, we trust she
Will exercise mothers prerogative and
apply the slipper where it will be most
etncacious

Watch Chain Of Nuggets.

Boston Journal: Colonel William
Jennings Bryan, who is still con-
fined to his room in the De Soto
hotel, in Savannah, Ga, has just
received a magnificent and interest
ing testimonial from the miners of
the Klondike, on the Yukon river.
The presents were encased in
handsome plush boxes, and they
are as odd as they are magnificent.
That for Col. Bryan is gold watch
chain, made of gold nuggets, just
as they were picked up in some of
the running streams of the KIon-
dixie, or uncovered where running
streams once flowed. They are
carefully fastened together in chain
form. and the charm is a large mug
get, nearly the size of a $40 gold
piece, with one side smoothed off
for the inscription, which is as fol-
lows:
presented by the Miners of the
Yukon river, to our Great Silver
Champion Col. William J. Bryan,
Sept. /, 1897"
1t appears that the miners held
meeting at Dawson City and decided
to send these presents TO Col. Bryan
and his wife. The present to Mrs.
Bryan is miners emblem of solid
gold, and composed of small
spade crossed by miners pick.
At the center of the crossing of the
handles of the pick and spade are
gold nugget and a bucket, tied
there by gold rope, while on the
bowl of the spade are two small
gold nuggets. Upon the bowl of
the spade is this inscription: "Mrs.
William J. Bryan, Yukon, 1898"

EX-INDIAN AGENT ARRESTED.
Colonel J. A Andrews is Taken in at
Denver.
He was In Charge of the Lemhi Agency In
Idaho Under Cleveland's Adlninistrxtion
Indicted for Theft.

Colonel J. A. Andrews, ex-United
States Indian agent at the Lemhi
Indian agency in Idaho, was ar.
rested in Colorado a few days ago
on the charge of having embezzled
Indian funds to the amount OF
1922. He was bound over in the
sum of $4,000 10 appear for trial at
the next term of the federal court
in Idaho. Andrews was captured
in Idaho Springs.
Colonel Andrews is a Texas man
who was sent to the Lemhi agency
by Cleveland. He appears to have
looked upon the appointment as a
warrant for gathering up most
everything in sight that he could
convert to his own use. His spec
ulations were brought to the atten-
ton of the authorities by Inspector
Mcconnell who, upon paying visit
to the agency, learned that most
corrupt methods had prevailed there
under Andrews management. The
agent resorted to many methods of
stealing. One was to have Indians
sign vouchers for hay and other
supplies which were never furnished.
Goods intended for the Indians were
made away with, and il, many ways
the agent enriched himself at the
expense of the government and the
Indians.
When the federal grand jury met
at Boise in September, number
of witnesses were brought over from
that vicinity and enough was proven
against Andrews to warrant his in
dictment on charges of thefts ag-
gregating $4,000. Andrews had left
this state and the indictment was
kept quiet until he could be located.
