RAILROAD TRACKS ABANDONED.


 Louisville. Neb. Mar. An ice gorge which began forming above tha Missouri Pacific bridge, near this city yesterday morning. reached formidable proportions. The Platte river has risen higher than for twenty years, and now covers q stretch oi country two miles wide. The tracks of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad is washed out for half mile. and trains will be unable to pass for several days. All the trains on the road will be run by another line until the WashOuts can be repaired.
 Tonight the tracks Of the Missouri Pacific road began to wash out slowly. and it is feared that they will be in q bad condition by tomorrow. No trains can run over the threatened portion of the track tonight. The Missouri Pa cific bridge across the Platte river has been much damaged. but it is still il condition for use. The wagon bridae will probably have to be abandoned for several days. In the east end, west of the city Burlington tracks are washed cut in small patches, and it is feare,l that they will be impassa ble before the night is over. Twenty families living in the loWlands have been compelled to abandon their homes and go to the bluffs. All their effects are left iu their homes. and they are being taken care of by their friends.

RENDERS STRANGE CASE
He Juggles With Money in An Unac-
 eountable Manner.

A new phase of the case of John Render has presented itself Bender has been an unexpla inable phenomenon in this country for q good many years He has q mania for making and say ing money and then getting drunk and getting into jail. He has probably paid the county and city more than S1,000 in fines within the last ten years and whenever he has been arrested sums ranging from $50 to s3.000 have been found carelessly tucked into num- erouS pockets. He has never been caught broke.
 Bender is probably not his name, for he is a Frenchman. while Bender is better known as Kansas name. His French cognomen. whatever it is, prob ably sounds like Bender, people called him that and he let it go. So he is known in the great register. on the tax rolls and in the police courts as Ben der. He was arrested again last week and as usual he aggravated his offense by fighting the officer. He had $60 on his person and by a coincidence his fine was $50 or sixty days in jail. Ben der took the days. On Monday he be- gan to weary of his confinement and sent for Attorney FlanniSan. He said he would like to settle his affairs in this community and return to France.
 He had on deposit in the Valley bank between $6.U00 and S, 900. He wanted to go and see about it and draw it out. He was allowed to accompany his attorney to the bank. The attorney waited out side and did not look to see what his client was doing. Bender came out soon and said that lie had been unable to get any money but would draw It the next day. Mr. Flannigan escorted him back to the city prison. As Ben der was about to be locked up he slyly passed a package to Marshall Kinney and told him to take care of it. The marshal afterWard examined the package and found that it contained g, ,590. He took it to Collector Luke, who counted the money again and locked it up.
 Yesterday morning the marshal asked Bender how much money there was in the package. He replied, "one thousand dollars and thirteen and forty" Later he said there was 'thir- teen hundred dollars and twenty-five and thirteen"
 The more he talked about money matters the more incoherent he be- came Later in the day MT. Flannigan applied in probate court for letters of guardianship.
 How Bender has made and held his wealth together has been subject of coniecture He is day laborer whose wages have always been low He has never engaged in speculation of any kind and notwithstanding his long res idence. in Arizona he has never become interested in mining

STREET CAR ACCIDENT
Luther Martin Struck and Badly Hurt
 Last Night.

Luther Martin. an old man of 60, was struck by an east bound car about 10 o'clock last night in front of the res idence of J. \. Marshall. two blocks this side of the Capitol building. It was at first reported that he had been killed. As matter of fact the in juIies he received were not serious. but for his age and weakened condition. His left leg was broken and there was a scalp wound on the back of the head There was also deep cutover the eye. He was removed to the Sisters hospital and Dr. Thomas was called to attend him. At midnight pr. Thomas said he believed he would re- cover, though he could not be sure.
 How the accident occurred is not known. The car was in charge of Motorman Stewart. There was q sin gle passenger. but he saw nothing un- til the car stopped after the old man had been struck. The motorman stopped at the police station when he came down town, feeling some sense of responsibility. He said that he saw 9 man walking across the track. but he did not see him until it was too late to stop or check the car. Martin was so badly shocked that he could give no account of the affair. He was not run over. but was thrown aside.
 After midnight MT. Martin recovered from the shock and was able to speak of the accident. He said he was walk ing along the track, but was not aware that he was near 1t until he was struck. He was thrown along in front of the car for about twenty feet. but vas probably never on the track. The car was not going at q high speed, for the place where the accident occurred was not far from the switch where the cars always slow down. Otherwise the stroke would have been fatal. The fracture of the leg is above the knee and is Of such q character. taking into consideration the age of the injured man. that an amputation will probably be necessary.
 Mr. Martin some years ago was a member of the territorial legislature from Apache county. He has resided in Phoenix for several years.

LAWRENCE LANDED THREE
Interesting Specimens Placed In the
 City Show Pens.

Officer Lawrence captured three picturesque characters last night, all three of them on the charge of Vag- rancy Had the officer desired to be explicit, he might have charged one with insanity. another with idiocy and the third with being an awkward but earnest sort of q confidence man.
 The one oi whom tendency to in sanity is intimated is known as the Hobo Kid and if he was not crazy when he was jailed he became so very soon afterward, for the evening wai spent in giving an exhibition of a man trying to be an earthquake and q bowling hyena at the same time. Of ficer Lawrence met him Monday night and gave him twenty-fOur hours to leave town. as he had no visible means of support and appearances indicated that he did not want tc have. H" replied that he proposed to stay here till he got good and ready to leave. Last night the officer met him on the corner of First and Washington streets and placed him under arrest. HY showed fight and bystander assisted the officer in jailing him. He resisted all the way to the jail, and managed during his struggle to bite the tempo rary deputy slightly on the hand. He was so disorderly and frantic it was not considered safe to leave him in the lobby with the other prisoners. for fear they would rise in their right eous wrath and murder him, so he was thrust into the dark cell. Then the real performance began. The door is just loose enough on its hinges to en- courage q half-craZed man in his ef- forts to tear the house down. and the way he shook that iron structure was "a menace to the whole building. Had lis hair been as long as Samson's he would surely have brought down thu house. Meantime he wept and moaned in q manner most heartrending. Pas sersby thought a murder was being committed, and dozens called into the station to learn the cause Of the up- roar.

 Nobody but q taxpayer has a right to set such q ball rolling as Mr. Me Donald now seeks to move, and even Ii he were tax payer, 1t F the opinion of lawyers that he has not gone about it in the right way; il is their opinion that ne did not begin at the right time. When the law authorizing the formation of the water storage commission became effective the supervisors were not strongly in favor of it. It was not until after strong pressure had been brought to bear upon them that they decided to act upon the petition to the court for the appointment of the com mission. The petition was early signed by the fifty taxpayers required by the law, but even then the supervisors held back and invited remonstrances. They waited three weeks and no voice was raised in opposition. Within that time more than three times as many peti- tioners as the law required came for ward and urged the board to act. It did so and the commission was ap- pointed by Judge Street. It was not too late then for objectors to question the validity of the law, as AIr. Mcdonald has done at this late day. An injunc- tiOn proceeding against the payment of any money on account of the commits sion would have brought the law to q test. but none was begun. none was threatened and so far as the board of supervisors knew everybody in the county was anxious that the commis- sion should proceed to the solution of what had become a most serious prob lem. Since then several thousands of dollars have been spent and nobody has been heard to express q regret eXcnt Mir Mcdonald

McDONALD'S COMPLAINT
An Impression that He Should Have
 Got In With It Earlier.

There was no special session of the
 board of supervisors yesterday to con- ply with the demand of Rodney Me Donald, for restitution of the money paid by the board on account of the water storage commission, which MT. Mcdonald has ascertained was created
 by an invalid act. It is understood
 that Mir. Mcdonald has all along been opposed to the operation of the water storage commission and that he has appeared on behalf of himself and other taxpayers to see that the money which has been WronGfully diverted from the county treasury shall be re- stored. All the aVaila ble records about the court house show that MT. Me Donald comes forward rather in the case of an agitated citizen than that of d taxpayer. His name, so far as could be ascertained yesterday. does not appear on any tax roll. Since 1S91
 he has been leasing from the county the northeast quarter of section IS, township 1 north, range 3 east. for which he has been paying the county the sum of S43.S2. He may regard this tribute to the county as a tax, but it is not. within the legal meaning of the word tax" That section or quar- ter section belongs to the county; that is, the bare land does, but Mr. Me Donald owns the improvements that have been put upon it and the books

the subject of suicide. He has been trying for the last week to commit suicide, but it is too big a job to do alone, and he can't get anyone to help him. He applied to the police for help a few days ago, saying he was sick and wanted to go to the hospital. He was referred to the city physician. who examined him and told him he was l beautiful risk for an insurance con- pany That made him mad, and he re- marked to one of the policemen that the city physician couldn't tell a sick man when he saw him, for he knew he was sick and was going to die. He said he wanted to kill himself, but did not know how to go about it. Of ficer Russell told him to get a gun, ana he went away. Later he told Officer Lawrence that he wanted to kill him. self but he had no gun and no money to buy poison with. and altogether he was in d terrible situation. Law renee suggested that ne might borrow a gun from somebody long enough to do a little ioh like that. but he refused to believe there was anybody in town accommodating enough to lend him the weapon. The officer had to arrest him to get him out of the way. IT there is any philanthropic person in town willing to help this poor fellow get piece of rope or a dose of poison he will probably appreciate it. All con- tributiOnS should be made through the police.
 The other man arrested last night was Tom Wilson. He has been peddlinS cheap jewelry round town without q license or any other evidence of good faith. Now Tom is d pleasing sort of chap and altogether a wise guy. bur rot wise enough. When Officer Law renee got him to the station he put up what he thought was a very diplo- matic argument. but the words of his song did not fit the music. All crooks of either large or small calibTe, on striking a new town. post themselves first regarding the officers. Tom had done this. but after he shuffied the deck and got the high cards on top he go; 1t mixed again by accident. so when he drew for an ace he only got ten spot.
 Addressing the officer as Mr. Kinney he announced that there was some mistake about his arrest. as he was no, the party wanted. Why" said he, II am a citizen here
 How do you know my name is Kin ney?" asked the officer.
 Why I voted for you at the last cleo tiOn when you run for marshal" he replied.
 That settled Tom Wilson's case at once. He went below. It was about all Lawrence could stand to know that the fellow claimed to be a Kinney heeler, but it was more than he could stand to be mistaken for the red headed republican marshal. Kinney has not expressed himself yet. but it is likely he will feel worse about it than Lawrence does. Meantime, it is safe to predict that Tom Wilson's di- plomacy will eventually land him ill the pen or on the scaffold, unless he improves it.

NOTED WESTERN WRITER
Visit to Phoenix of Miss Sharlot N.
 Hall.

The Arizona representative of Out West" better known by it's old name of "The Land of Sunshine''-or Charles F. Lummis' western magazine, is in Phoenix gathering material for an Illustrated article on the city and sur rounding country.
 Miss Sharlot M. Hall is poet and story writer as well, and her poems of the desert and mountains have at tracted wide attention. Edwin Mark ham in the New York Evening Post. pronounced them The most vivid and terrible pictures of the desert that have ever been put into words"
 The Sunday Examiner three weeks ago gave an extended review of Miss Halls life and work and reprinted the poem. "The West" which appeared in the January number of Out West . and has since been copied in leading journals throughout the country.
 President Roosevelt wrote in praise of this poem and leading reviewers have called it the greatest poetical tribute ever paid to the west.
 Miss Hall will remain in this vicin- ity for two weeks or more. Out Vest is of particular interest to resi- dents of the southwest as the official organ of the strongest irrigation movement ever made in the United States. This department under the direction of William l.. Smythe, has attracted such wide attention that q few weeks ago Editor Lummis was re- quested by the president to come to Washington for q special conference on irrigation and forest reserve matters

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1902-02-01

One man was killed and four others
probably fatally burned at an accident at
the Illinois steel mill. Just how the mis-
hap occurred the officials Of the company
refused to state, and the police of South
Chicago were not called upon for as
sistance. 1t was learned that what is
known to iron workers as slip Oc-
CURED at the No 10 blast furnace. An
effort was made to open the furnace in
order to draw off the molten metal, but
it failed as the iron became stuck, prob
ably owing to the cold weather. The
workmen opened up the furnace at the
bottom. Without any warning the whole
mass suddenly became loosened and
splashed out upon those who were near.
One of the men, Mitchell BrOnish, was
completely covered with the molten metal
and died almost instantly. His body was
burned until it was unrecognizable. He
stood almost in front of the opening he
had helped to make to let out the stream
of liquid iron which killed him.
