BLOWN FROM A TRAIN AND DROP
PED JJNHCRT,

Omaha, Nebraska, July l5,-NIiss Marie
Karous of this city was blown from a
train into a Nebraska corniield last night
and was uninjured.
Miss Karous was going from one car
on a Burlington excursion running FROM
WILDER, Neb.. to Omaha, to another when
by a student gust she was lifted and car
ried about twenty feet in the air and drop
ped in a field, The fact that she was not
injured Is attributed to the condition OF
the ground made soft by recent rains and
that her skirts acted as parachute.
When the train reached the next station
a friend of Miss karous, who had noticed
her sudden flight telegraphed back to tho
train following and she was brought on.

He says the notorious (Filipino) off,
GER Gen. Llanera, told 1t to him:
After the terrible fight between
Manila and Caloocan. while we were
yet gathering our scattered forces in
order to man the trenches OF Palo and
Malabon. we gradually got over the
effect, and came to look upon the
Americanos lying at Caloocan SO
quietly as not so dangerous. after all.
They were afraid to come out and
fight. so our men went in small par
ties and engaged them at times. One
day a corporal named Leon went
scouting. as he was anxious for pro-
motion. Ili-fortulle was his, SO he
caught no Americanos unawares, but
on his way home found great iron
ball of oblong shape and brought 1t
into camp at Meycuayan. The cap

He took 1t outside OF the camp, under
a great mango tree, and unscrewed
the point of it--for 1t was a six-inch
shell. Seeing nothing dangerous about
1t he put lighted cigarette in the
hole, and then put his ear down over
it to hear the result. Well. we did
not recover from the result for some
time. When we did we looked for
Leon and some twenty or thirty other
men; we found them, or small pieces
of them, hanging in the mango tree
and scattered around the ground.

were forty-six missing. with the

When 1t came time to go to work the
foreman marched through the groups
shaking the sleepers, shouting In
their ears, lifting them to their feet,
and. in few instances, kicking the
delinquents into wakefulness. From
a quarter to one until seven o'clock
they worked without respite or rest.

members OF that organization for CON
tributions for the Confederate Veter-

caused such terrible disasters in the

them breathe the new spirit of unity
