has been said by one who is competent
TO judge that it is the finest single.

town.
Many cases Of influenza, epizootic or
ipinkeye, as the disease is variously
termed, have made their appearance in
the city and adjoining country. H. D..
Nichols lost two Of his horses from the
disease Thursday and has others sick,
one OF which he expects to lose. Frank
sGillette's horses are more or less af-
lfected. The veterinaries report nu-
merous cases and 1t is possible than an
epidemic similar to the one of 1878 may
prevail. The disease is contagious and
readily becomes epidemic. 1t appeared
this side of the Atlantic in Canada In
1867 and again in 1872, both being per-
iods of epidemic and resulting in SER
ious loss to horse owners. In 1873, 1t will
be remembered, the disease became
epidemic in the United States, notably
in the eastern and middle states and
business dependent on horseaesh suf-
fered almost complete stagnation. The
disease affects the nerve centers and
vital organs and is liable to cause
DEATH and often leaves an animal
affected by it in worthless condition.
Owing to the scarcity of horses at pres
ent an epidemic Of epizootic woulu
prove serious matter.

A QUEER ACCIDENT.
a Stranger Received Painful 1nju-
ries White Trying to steal Ride.


ries While Trying to Steal a Ride.
Joe Ward, a stranger who was en-
deavoring to beat his way to Chicago
by riding on top of a coach OF the
Northwestern's overland limited, No. 9,
at 2 o'clock this morning, was injured
as the train stopped at the union sta
ton for water. Ward had become
chilled thru and had determined, when
the train stopped, to spend the remain
der Of the night here, providing he could
find a cheap lodging house. He at
tempted to climb down, as the train
came to a standstill, and in SO doing
placed his left knee over the top of the
Nestibule. The engine had drawn up a
little too far at the standpipe, and im-
mediately backed, Just as Wards leg
was resting In the ACCORDION pleats of
the vestibule top. The movement of tho
train, as consequence, contracted the
lvestibule top, with his leg In 1t. and as
result the limb. from above the knee
to nearly the ankle, was badly confused
and somewhat laceratsd. He was held
in that position for about a minute,
which. he says, seemed ages to him
being released only when the train
again Stacked. Officer Weaver was att
tracted by the mans cries and with
the help of some Of the night force at
the baggage room took the man on a
litter to the Third avenue police sta
ton, where he remained until this
morning. when he was removed in an
ambulance to the county jail Wards
injury is not dangerous, altho it is a
very painful one.
Ward is Young man 81 years Of age
and his mother resides in San Francis
co. He appears to be a man of more
than ordinary intelligence in the clasA
he represents. He claims to have been
an evangelist for three years and also
that he served in the army during the
recent Spanish American war.

lowed the tongue to fall to the ground.
One Of the animals was somewhat skit-
fish under ordinary circumstances. and
this frightened him. Mr.. Bullock and
Mr.. Smith Jumped. but Mr. Shoemaker
thought he would be able to control the
horses, which. by that time. had q fair
ly good start. After they ran a short
distance he straddled them between
two small trees. The harness broke and
one Of the horses was thrown over q
barbed wire fence. while the other got
away. Mr.. Shoemaker was thrown into
the top Of the tree, the buggy was demol-
ished and harness broken to smither-
Gems. The sheriff received no danger
GUS INJURIES, altho his back and limbs
were badly sprained and his entire
body was bruised more or less. His
companions. who alighted safely from
the vehicle, expected to see him either
killed or dangerously injured.

BAD FIRE NARROWLY AvERTED.
Electric Light Wires Cause a Blaze at
Postofi ce building.

Merchant Police Mcclure discovered
a blaze at the postofflce this morning
that might have meant disastrous fire
had it been allowed to gain headway.
His prompt alarm and the early arrival
of the fire department were efficient in
preventing any serious damage. AS 1t
was the ceiling overthep ostoffic erooms
was burned thru, leaving an opening
three or four feet square as a reminder
of what might have happened. The
fire is supposed to have been caused by
insulation OF the electric
light wires. The theory is advanced
that some one had possibly thrown a
lighted cigar stump into the waste bas-
ket in the hall above, thus causing the
blaze. The Woodbury. hose team was
first on the ground, tho the Hope COM
5pany made an excellent run and was a
close second. The kibbey company
turned out. but did not reach the fire.
That the Are was we'll handled is shown
from the fact that no mail matter OF
any kind was wet or destroyed.

it became known that he, or man an.
CIV ering his description, was wanted at
a dozen other places thruout the United
States, for practically the same crime.
Rhoads, or Martin as he was known
here at first, was tracked to Chicago,
where he was watched for some time by
the Chicago detectives and. in an I'M
guarded moment, and Just as he was
ready to leave the city. was arrested
and brought here. Rhoads remained In

fraudulent transaction here and was
Immediately turned over to the sheriff

maker was recently informed that
lRhoads intended to plead guilty in order
to get light sentence. This he did, but
the sentence. considering his advanced
age, is not very light. II he is alive at
the completion of his term, it is not al
all unlikely that Missouri sheriff will
want him, as an old reward, issued sew

Missouri authorities at one time, and at

Mrs. Henry Krack, until recently OF
this city but now OF Davenport, wife Of
the boss miller OF the Glucose Sugar Re-
fining Company's plant in this city, who
was killed by an explosion of a steam
pipe in the company's plant on Jan. 1,
1900. has brought suit in the Scott coun-
ty district court, In which she asks $780,
900 damages against the company.
AS the company is incorporated in all
of the cities where 1t has factories, and
maintains a plant at Davenport, Mrs.
Krack takes advantage of bringing the
suit In the town which is now her place
iof residence
Krack will be remembered as having
lost his life on last New Years day He
was at work on the third floor Of one of
the buildings when, without warning or
cause, the main steam pipe in the build
ing burst. Krack was within few feet
Of the pipe when the accident occurred
and was instantly killed, being scalded
to death by the escaping steam. "A
roustabout named Anderson. who was
working on the second floor above where
the accident occurred, was also burned.
While on the face of the petition the
Glucose Sugar Refining Company is
made defendant in the big damage suit,
the company Is virtually uninterested,
as it is fully Unidentified against dam
ages resulting from personal injuries to
its employees. so that the loss, should
there be one, will not fall upon 1T, but on
the indemnifying company.

ARRAY Al nuRW0On.



From q. B. Smith and Deputy
Buck Garrett. who went to Dur
wood last night. the following de-
tails Of an affray which occurred
there last night were obtained:
IL seems that John Duke was
very drunk and entered the cider
joint OF Gordon & Shockly in an
ugly mood. BE was quarreisome
and became enraged while in an
argument with Will Wiggs oyer
some trivial matter.
He made an assault on Wiggs,
but there is difference of opinion
as to the weapon used. Some say
he used O knife, while others say
he used a billiard cue. At any
rate, Wigs received q severe cut
on the side of his head, making q
wound about four inches long.
Whlle WIggs was being taken
to his room Duke proceeded on
down the street to Wigs store,
and began abusing a man named
Davenport, who had charge of the
store. Davenport attempted to
put him out of the house, and in
the seufle was cut pretty badly on
the left cheek.
Physicians who attended the in
jured men say that the condition
Of neither is serious. though both
are pretty badly hurt.
Deputy Garrett found Duke after
considerable search and brought
him to Ardmore, where he was
temporarily committed to Jail by
Judge Bradford on a charge of as
sault to kill.
We learn that Duke has borne
an excellent reputation and it ia
supposed that the entire trouble is
due to the fact that he had been
drinking heavily.

The following from the Gaines.
vile Hesperian shows that oc.
easionally that quiet city can gel
mp and shake itself and produce q
nine days wonder:
A few weeks ago Gainesville
man went to a nearby city osten-
sibly to hunt work. Not many
days later he wrote to his wife for
money. which was promptly sent
him and nothing more was heard
from him for a week or so, when
he again wrote for money and the
faithful wife remitred. But by
this time the home funds were run
ming low, and shortly after her last
remittance the wife was COM
PEELED to write the husband and
ask the donation of a few dollars.
She was surprised and grieved to
receive the following reply:
have nothing on earth but 25 cents
worth of morphine and will leave
here tonight in a cattle car bound
for Kansas City. When l arrive
there I will be cold in death" +" The
letter was referred to friends by
the wife and a query to officers in
the neighboring city elected the
fact that the husband was living
high and having a fine old time,
with no intention whatever of GO
ing to Kansas City by the NOR
phine route. The wife yesterday
fled suit for divorce"
