HANGS FROM PORCH BY
A NAIL IN HIS THIGH
Six-year-oId Jacob schiIing Meets With
Peculiar and Painful Accident.

Hanging from a high platform, with a
nail piercing his leg until large piece
of the flesh was slowly torn away, was
the terrible experience that little Jacob
Schilling was subjected to yesterday af
ternoon.
Jacob, who is ten years DID, and num-
Der of companions, were playing on a
platform near his home, at IS Fairfield
avenue, yesterday afternoon. The little
fellow was climbing down one of the sides
when he caught on a large spike. The
nail pierced into his right thigh
CraZed with pain, little Jacob fell back
wards, hanging by the nail from the
platform. Gradually the flesh began to
tear away, and before his playmates
reached him the boy had fallen to the
ground. A large piece of flesh remained
hanging on the spike.
Jacobs mother at once called DR.. Whit
acre and the wound was dressed. Unless
blood poisoning sets in, it is thought that
it will be unnecessary to amputate the
leg.

Boer Tells His Story.
Won der Damn, who speaks English
fairly we'll and is a bright and observ-

talked readily to a Clio b reporter
yesterday afternoon.
Il was born and raised eighteen
miles southeast of Kimberly" said the
Boer soldier, land lived with my par
ents and four brothers on a farm until
the war broke out. My father, who
was sixty-two years old, and my four
brothers at once took the field under
Gen. Delarey. My first fight was an
engagement twenty-five miles north
of Ladysmith. My father and four
brothers were killed at the battle of
Ladysmith, but 1 was not so much as
even scratched in any of the engage
ments following that battle. 1 was
with Delarey when Gen. Butler was
captured and saw the medals taken
from the English general. Gen. De-
larey said he would not have that
kind Of prisoners, preferring to have
them in the field against him rather
than carry them around as prisoners.
Il was with Delarey's command I'M
til 1 was captured about eight miles
from Kimberly, March II last. From
there l was taken to Natal and shipped
with $50 other prisoners to st. Helena.
AT st. Helena 1 was a prisoner from
March q to the middle of April, when
1 made my escape.

the Tribe Are Now on Their Way to
Discuss Matters With Senator Clapp.

Wah-we-yea- cunig and Ain dus-o-
keshig, both Ojibway chiefs, sat
around the Merchants hotel last even
ing attired, in store clothes and looked
very uncomfortable. The twain are
accompanied by D. 3. Henderson,. of
Kansas City, their attorney who with
Maj. James Mclaughlin and Indian
Agent Michlet have been at Mile Laos
attending a big council of the tribe.
There will be no trouble with the
Indians over the moving of the tribe
from Mile Laos to the White Earth
reservation" said Mr.. Henderson last
night.
There are about 915 in the tribe all
told and this number is made up of
100 families. They are willing to take
their allotments on the reservation, but
naturally want pay for the move. The
government has. secured an appropria-
ton of $4,000, which will be paid to
the tribe, and they will move as fast
as the government can make room for
them.
Orders Cause Confusion.
The trouble has been that the land
near Mile Lac has been thrown open
W AoulCSISdQ0IS TOuE tunes ana for
the same number of times the order
has been revoked. This naturally
caused confusion, and at the last ses-
sion of congress Judge Morris secured
the passage of law legalizing all the
illegal entries.
Maj. Mclaughlin Isl now making an
appraisement of the improvements on
the lands occupied by the Indians and
as soon as the government can make
room for the families they will be
moved.
Some Object to- Leaving.
Some of them of course object to
leaving what has been their home for
many years, but there will be no Sc
rious trouble.
tomorrow the two chiefs who are
here will go to Pine City for a confer
ence with Senator Ctapp, who is now
spending vacation in that vicinity.
