The San Francisco call., 1899-09-09

by Jury IN Judge Cooks court !1e was
charged with an assault TO comrlit muir
der, but the jury decided that he was un-
justly accused, and set him free.
On the night of the assault charged,
Willie Lynch, with a number OF
companions, was playing in the vicinity
of the pavilion. Kenvile ordered them
away and as they did not obey he hurled
his club among them. Willie Lynch was
picked up in an unconscious condition and
examina ton disclosed the fact that he
had sustained a fracture of the Skull.
Citizens who saw the boy fall took the
stand during the trial of Kenville and
swore that he threw the club that injured
the boy for life. On the other hand, the
defense proved that some stones had been
thrown into the crowd during the even
ing and that if the wound was not caused
by one of the stones they claimed that
the lad received his hurts by falling to
the pavement.

ON PRESENT SITE.
New Methodist Church to be Commenced
This Fall.

The building committee of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church held meeting
Tuesday and transacted considerable
business. 1t was definitely determined
to erect the new church on the location
of the present one, and to put in the
foundation at once and press the build
ing as far as possible the present year.
The old church structure is to be re-
moved and hall will probably be Sc
cured as place for no ding services
during the winter. .-.
The new church will probably be
constructed of stone and will be large
enough to seat $3.50 people with a clear
view of the pulpit This will give the
city room capable of accommodating
1000 more people than any room which
there is in the city at present, and one
of the largest audience rooms in any
church in the state 1t will be such a
room as will be in demand for lecture
and convention purposes, and con-
siderable revenue may be derived from
it. Particular attention is to be paid to
its acoustic properties.
Plans have not yet been prepared
for the church The present location
of the church could not be improved, as
it is central and on two good streets. 1t
is better that the old building should
be torn down than left to remain in
definitely, as it could hardly be classed
as thing of beauty.

Killed and Injured.

The through train was being pulled
by engines AZ and 40. Engineer Ras-
mussen, of No. AZ, was instantly killed.
His body was not taken from the wreck
until this afternoon, when it was ascer-
tanned that both of his left legs were
broken and that his body had been hor-
ribly burned in the confagration that
followed the wreck.
Fireman Roberts, of No. Al, was also
killed, although he lived a short time.
He was able to state that he had just
come from Nebraska and that this
was his first trip over the road.
Fireman Stratton, of No. 40, was
mortally wounded and died this
morning Both of his legs were
broken.
John Roberts, who owned a restau-
rant atEST. James, was in the caboose
OF the special train. The only other
man in the caboose was the brakeman
The latter saw the approaching train
and shouted to Roberts to jump for
his life, and at the same time jumped
himself and escaped injury. 1t was a
close call for him. Roberts was
killed, and his body had not been re-
covered up to this afternoon.
The push engine was No. 101, and
the fireman lad one leg broken.
Engineer Yoeman, Of No. 101, re-
ceived bad cut on his head.
Engineer Pew, Of No. 40, was injured
in his side and hip.
The wounded were taken to the
Commercial. Hotel at Window, where
they are receiving all medical aid
possible.
1t is thought that two weeks will
elapse before the bridge can be re
newed, and in the meantime traffic
will go by way of Winnebago City and
will not be delayed much, if any.
The 40 a. m. passenger this morning
came in at 7:15 a. m. The wreck is
the worst one that has ever occurred
on this division of the Omaha road.
The division has been exceptionally
free from accidents, owing to the eff.
cheney Of Supt. Spencer and his assist
ants.
