This morning at six o'clock, Ches-
ter Barndollar, brakeman on the
Hutchinson & Southern branch, was
thrown from the top Of n freight car.
What position he was in at the time
of his falling Is not exactly known
bart it Is supposed that he was either
sitting or standing on the edge Of a
freight car Of his train, which was
just being made up and was bacgking
down the switch which runs adjacent
to the south side Of the freight de-
pot. The probability is that his back
was turned to the depot, while signal
ing to the engineer, not noticing
that they were rapidly approaching
the south west corner Of the fright
dpot, where the roof Of tn platform,
which is just Il few inchs aboy the
height Of freight car, protrudcS a
short distance out over the track
This roof must have struck him some
where between the knees and sh0ul-
ders, knocking him to the ground
where he fell under the wheels and
was run over SQuarely acoSS the abd0-
men. His body was learly severed
and almost all Of the entrails were
crushed out from their normal places.
The body was picked up some If
teen feet east of the platform andMaS
probably carried that far by the
bumpers of the cars before falling ON
the track, An employee at the
freight depot saw the brakeman's
lantern fall, which was the first
knowledge any one had of the accl-
dent.
The body was so mutilated that 1t
made sickening and heartrending
sight. Yet as usual In such cases
there were many who called to see 1t,
Mr. Barndollar was about twenty
one years Of age and made his home
in Wellington, Kansas, where he was
a popular young man of excellent fam
lily and respected by all who knew
him. lie had been Milroading but
three months, and previous to that
had clerkcd in Andrews grocery
store. He leaves Il fatherand mother,
the former Il carriage maker in Well
ington, and three sisters, one of
whom Is the chief operator of the BELL
telephone exchange of the same place,
who will greatly mourn his sudden
and appalling death, The remains
were taken to the undertaking rooms
OF w. Il. Harper who telephoned the
sad particulars Of the affair to the be-
reavcd family.
There will be no inquest over the
death, as the relatives of the deceased
phoned that they did not desire one
to be held. The body will be shipped
to Wellington for burial on the Santa
Fe train No. 8; the funeral services
will probably be held tomorrow even
ing at that place.

Late yesterday afternoon DR.. Conn,
started out hunting and had just
reached the Vincent salt works east
Of the city, when his horse, which
had shown tendency from the start
to frlghtcn at the top Of Il buggy,
suddenly became unmanageablc and
ran away. The horse ran but a
short distance when the buggy was
overturned and demolished. DR..
Conn managed to get out Of the ac-
cdcnt without any broken bones,
but was feeling pretty we'll used up
this morning.

ChaS. N0yes, who drives one Of Ed,
Sweets grocery wagons, was thrown
from his seat this morning and pain
fully hurt. He had just thOwn the
weight in the wagon which he had,
left standing near the mterior-llcrld
orlicc, and jumped in after II, when
the team became frightened and gave
u lIrch forwards, causing him to fall
in front of the wagon between the
team. where he was kicked in the
back several times by one Of the
horses and very badly hurt.
Help was called and Charles was
carried up stairs over OBrian's gro
Gerry store, where he will be COM
PEELED to remain until he can be COM
fortably removed, which will prob
ably be a matter Of Il day on two.
The team of horses made p
sharp dash up the main thoroughiare
Of the city. They finally stecred Off
on First Avenue and were stopped In
The rear Of the Hub Clothing Strore,
Although they ran about as fast as
they could they did no damage,
This team has run away several
times, 1t is understood, and should be
closely watched. In fact there are a
great many teams, hauling delivery
wagons, baggage wagons, drays, etc
that should he more closely watched

For several years the nucleus
around which has gathered and cys-
tali2ed the local temperance Senti-
ment of this county has been Il com
mittee of seventeen citizens who
were appointed at temperance
mass meeting few years ago,and who
have had much to do with bringing
about the present dry condition of
the city. Branches Of the organiza-
tiOn have been formed in other parts
OF the county, but the public seldom
hears about them as they go about
their work in quiet and lmostenta-
tious manner. A meeting of the com
mittee was held last evening and ollic-
brs for the ensuing year were elected.
An outline of policy was also form
ulated and plans laid which may re-
suit in more trouble for those who
persist in violating the prohlbitory
Jaw.

Hutchinson gazette., 1901-12-05

Just now there is considerable of 4
legal row which seems in n smal
measure to have taken the form of q
fight between the city and county
1t Is an old matter but has some new
developments,
\ few years ago the legislature
passed some kind of an act which
provided that additions to cities
might be vacated by process Of law
in the district courts, and afterward
ratified by the passing of an ordi-
nance by the city council. a number
Of the owners of various additions
to Hutchinson took advantage of this
law to get set outside the city limits
to escape taxation for city revenues,
Among these are the additions upon
which the packing house, the stock
yards, the railroad switches and some
other property of value is located,
The city voted bonds in large
amounts to get some Of these enter
priseS located here and the city au-
thorltieS think the city ought to get
the taxes. Mayor Martin called the
matter up in his inaugural, and In
structed the city assessor to assess
the property as being in the city,
He did so and the county clerk made
up his tax rolls with this property
listed in the city. The rolls were
turned over to the county treasurer
according to law,
Then came conflicting opinions as
to the legality of the action. The
county attorney was consulted and
decided that the lands should not be
on the list as city property, County
Clerk Newln was in Il quandary He
even considered going into the treas
urer'S Office to take them Off. So the
city attorney, Howard Lewis, brought
an injunction against hlm-to prevent
his doing that. Judge Simpson en-
joined him.
However the matter is far from
settled. The qustion is still up as to
whether the additions are in or out
of the city. The owners Of the prop
crty claim 1t Is ont bcauSe there is
Il court record showing it to have
been set out. The city claims that
these findings were obtained by fraud,
and that the statute has never been
complied with by the city council
passing an ordinance setting them
out The property in controversy
amounts to from $50, 900 to $50, 900 in
valuation.
There Is now a proposition to start
up the packing house and the city
council is asked to let up ON its con-
tcntiOnS aS an induccment for them
to open, II they open and COM
mence a bona lide business, perhaps
this proposition might be considered.

Contrary TO the usual custom, the
restaurant did not keep open all
night last night, Os n fuse burnd out
on the switch board about 80 O'Clock
this morning, leaving the place In TO-
tal darkness, Having no fuses ON
hand and being unable TO secure one
at that time In the morning, the boys
closed up the restaurant until day
light,
Mr., Wcggn had balanced up his
cash about nine o'clock last evening"
Ns was his habit, and had taken most
Of the money from the days business
home with him, leaving only Il small
amount In the drawer for change,
Up to the time the fuse blew out
$40, 80 had accumulated from the ey-
cnlng's business and the boys, think
Ing the place safe from burglary, left
This In the TIL, when they locked up,
On coming down this morning, ey-
eything seemed all right and no
mark of the robbery was dlscoered
until one Of the boys went in the
kitchen, Here the door leading to
the cellar was found open and upon
investigation, It was found that the
burglars had prled open cellar win
dow and entered by way Of the cellar
stairway,
Beyond the $3.50 and one hundred
cigars taken, no damage was done and
no apparent clue has been left behind,
except the fact that the rObber Is ey-

The matter has been placed In the
hands Of the police and Is receiving

The Wichita papers as well as some
Of the Kansas City papers yesterday
contained a story Of sixteen year
old girl who has left her fathers
home and 1t was thought had gone
to the territory to take up the life of
u squaw, Reading novels Of the red
and sensational kind were the causes
attributed TO her hasty departure,
She was stated to be Florence Bishop
whose father Is a postal clerk, 1t
was said he had given her name to
the police and was greatly DISTRESSED,
The last seen Of her was last Satu-
day when she came to Hutchinson,
1t now transplres that the girl is
here in the home Of one Of the best
families of the city, She came here
to visit friends, families Of some Of
the officers Of the reformatory,. They
say she is very nice honest, girl,
whom they think has been ill-treated
at home and blame the parents more
than the girl, They placed her in a
good family where she will probably
remain for the present.

SATISFACTORY MARKET.
Sales Made Up Largely of Lower
Grade Weed.

The quality of the weed offered
this week, as a general thing, was
commoner than that of last week
and prices were unchanged. Good
tobacco commanded satisfactory
figures. Offerings amounted to zoe
hogsheads and reflections represent
ed small per cent. Receipts were
not so large as the week before, as
much of the crop has been deliv-
cred, but amounted to nearly the
number of hogsheads for the cores
period of last year. Last
weeks quotations fairly represent
the local market this week. Some
fine tobacco sold privately, COM
manded top figures.

A Free Barbecue Suggested.
The suggestion comes from some
of our post prominent South Chris

sample mile of pike is to be built on
their road, that they furnish the
carcasses for a big barbecue as
their contribution to the entertain
ment of the visitors. Trice's grove
being on the way between this city

gested as the proper place for hold
ing it.
