Fourth OF July Casualties.
Chicago July 1.-THE Tribune a
few days ago printed tabulated state
ment of the casualties occurring on the
Fourth of July. The figures were sup
piled by correspondents in various
cities. Since that publication the ex-
changes from all parts Of the country |
have been carefully scrutinized to |
make the list as accurate as posi-
BILE. The number of killed, SO, cor
responds with the first report. The |
number of severely injured is in
creased to 1869. The details are as fol-
lows: Cannon crackers, $40; toy can
non, S79; fire crackers, 500; powder ex-
plosions, 24S; revolvers, ls9; toy pistols,
10; gunshot wounds, ST. fireworks of
various kinds, So. Some Of these vic
Tins will go through life without eyes,
| some without arms, some without legs,
and large number with mangled
hands. The list includes only those
who were sent to the hospitals or
were treated at home by doctors. It is
probable that complete list would re-
cord between 1000 and 5000 victims Of
the present senseless style Of celebrat-
ing the Fourth Of July.

crime on Trilby. Sheriff True,
of Wabaunsee county, brought Tril-

jail When he arrived, mob of
at least 200 men met him with his pris-
oner at the depot, but were foiled until
the prisoner was being placed in Jail,
when Trilby was seized, dragged with
rope around his neck block, strung
up to telephone pole, where he hung
for six minutes, when he was cut down
by Marshal Pfppert. The crowd, be-
