OVER THE END.
Threshing Engine >Plungss from Car,
and One Man Injured.

l0'eSnlDg Ehgine tluHgSS ITem SdT,
and One Man Injured.
An accident occurred near the trans
fer house at the foot of Jackson street
at nine o clock Tuesday night, while a
Buffalo-Pitts - engine@eand separator
were being. loaded upon a--fat car ON
the Omaha .. track. The engine got on
safely under it's own steam, but it was
desired to have it go ahead three feet
in order to let the separator entirely
on. The engine was started, but it
could not be stopped in time, and it
took plunge off of the end of the car
alighting on it's front end and staying
that way. The separator did not go
off, The fall of the engine was twelve
feet, but it was not damaged more
than SIS or $50 worth.
The engineer, Joe Dancer, jumped
from the rear of the engine as it rose
in the air, and in striking the ground
one wrist was broken. Drs Andrews
& Osborn reduced the fracture. Had
the engine gone entirely over, the
steam pipes would probably have
broken and several persons been badly
scaIded.
The engine was being loaded for
shipment to a point north of Mime
apolis. Ed. Schumacher is the local
agent and he put men at work We'd
nesday to get the engine up. He
was not present when the accident
happened, relying on the ability of
the engineer to load the engine.

STILL A PROTECTIONIST.

The free trade element will not set
great deal of satisfaction out of Con-
gresham Babcock's position on the
tariff question, though they have been
attempting to extract some, and have
even been predicting that he was Ii
able to swing over into the ranks of
the free traders, when he finds that the
Republicans will do nothing toward
tariff reform. But Mr.. Babcock re-
marks that he is as strong protec-
Zionist as ever and believes thoroughly
in its policy, and that he only believes
in the removal of the duty on an ar
ticle where he thinks it is not needed,
or is higher than it should be. 1t is
not likely, however, that the party
will accept his position as to the entire
removal of the duty on products put
out by the U. S. Steel corporation. If
he would take middle ground that
would allow of modification of the
tariff on the articles which he seeks its
entire removal from he would doubt
less stand much greater chances of
success. There are yet many indepen-
dent concerns throughout the country
that would suffer by the placing of
these products on the free list while
the big corporation would probably not
be much affected as it is strong
enough to protect itself.
After all there is good deal in the
statement that if certain tariff duties
do no good, because imports have
ceased, they can do no harm, whereas
their entire removal might cause quite
disturbance in industrial affairs. One
thing is to be noted, and that is, that
the striking employees of the great
steel corporation are strongly opposed
to Congressman Babcock's scheme for
the entire removal of duty on the pro-
ducts of that combine, thus upsetting
the theory of the free traders that the
employees are beginning to find that
the tariff does them no good and are
growing against the policy of protec-
ton. There are doubtless notifications
that could be most advantageously
made in the tariff law, and it may be
that the outcome of the present agita-
tion will result in some modification,
but there will be more or less hest
fancy to go very far in the face of the
fact that the country has prosper ed
most acknowledgements the present law,
and that its foreign trade has been
greatly extended. and is still growing
! under it's wise provisions.

1t is said that the revolution which
is now in progress in Venezuela, and
Columbia has for it's primary object
the formation of one republic out of
these two countries and Ecuador. AS
result it is expected there will be
revolutions and counter revolutions,
wars between the countries and con-
ficts between the forces that are fight
ing for consolidation and the forces of
various revolutionary leaders. 1t does
not take much to keep some of the
South American countries in state of
war. When they have nothing of real
Importance to fight over, they rack
their brains and imagine something.

TOOK THE MONEY.
A Farm Hand is Robbed By a
Companion.
John Moore Relieved of About S3S This
Forenoon, in This Cry on
Train.
From Wednesday 5 Daily.

John Moore who has been en-
ployed in the harvest field near Maple
ton for some time past, came to the
city on the noon train from Mapleton,
in company with two or three other
harvest hands. After arriving in the
city, he discovered that his money was
gone. Officer Thilgen found him at the
union depot accusing one of his com
panions of robbery. The officer locked
the accused man up. This man gave
the name of Michael Byrnes and said
that he had been working in the har-
vest field two miles from Minnesota
Lake. He denied any knowledge of the
robbery. When searched, he had STD
on his person, and new hat for which
he had paid one dollar.
Moore afterwards concluded that
Byrnes was innocent and so informed
the police He laid the robbery to
companion whose name he did not
know, but who went by the name of
"Dan." He got acquainted with Dan
recently and the two agreed TO go to
Sleepy Eye to work. They got on the
train at Mapleton after having few
drinks, and came to this city, accom-
panied by Byrnes and man described
as "a big Swede,'' also harvest
hand
Moore was paid SAB by his employer
this morning and says that he spent
So to 81. He thinks that he lost about
$3S, of which there was one $50 bill,
three So bills and some silver. Only
one ive-cent piece was left. The bills
were in his trousers pocket, and the
silver in his overalls' pocket just over
the pocket with the bills. He showed
his money several times. Byrnes says
that he showed it after leaving the
train in this city, and that he told
Moore to take care of his money.
Moore says that he thinks he lost the
money on the train, as he did not have
it when he felt for it after reaching
this city.
Byrnes went into the first barber shop
that he came to after leaving the train
and had his beard removed. He also
purchased new hat He was consid-
erably under the influence of liquor
when locked up.
Officer Vogel accompanied Moore in
search for Dan. but could not locate
him, and it is thought that he left the
city on a Chicago & Northwestern
train. After returning to the station,
Moore was searched 20 see whether he
had not mislaid the money, as he was
much Jagged up. " A cobble stone
was found upon him, and he explained
! that he had it to use on the man that
had robbed him. He intended to have
vengeance if he could find the man,
he said.
| A passenger on the train In
formed Officer Vogel that short,
heavy set man with much worn gray
SLOUGH hat had sat with Moore on the
train and had frequently passed a
| bottle to Moore and the other two, but
had not taken. any, from it himself, He
kept close to Moore after leaving the
train, brushing up against him. This
man answers the description of Dan.
When Byrnes went into the barber
shop, Moore went on down the street
| with Dan.
Moore states that he will go to work
again at once, as he does not seek
charity.

DEATHS ROLL CALL.

Ed. Mime died at the home of his
parents, 416 North Fifth street, at seven
O. clock Tuesday evening, aged about
twenty-five years, of consumption. He
was formerly employed by the Great
Northern road, but when his lungs be-
came affected he went to Texas and
New Mexico in hopes that the climate
there would benefit him. AS it did
not give relief, he returned a month
ago with his wife, who had joined
him there. He leaves his wife and
one child. The funeral occurred
from the German Catholic church at
nine O. clock Friday morning.
