ACCIDENT IN YARDS.
Two Men Run Into and Dangerously
Injured.
IT IS THOUGHT ONE WILL DIE.

Two natives who are members of
the scrap track gang, are in the San
ia Fe Pacific ward at the st. Joseph
hospital. One is dying and the other
is badly injured.
The men are Feodoro Paz and Juan
Garcia. This morning about 10 o'clock
they We're between a freight car cut
loose from a string of some fifteen
other cars and were prying under the
wheels, with crowbars. on opposite
sides of the bumpers. The car under
which they were working was about
three feet apart from the end of the
string, giving them just enough room
in which to work.
A switching crew and an engine
were working at the lower end of the
yards, and, not knowing that the scrap
track gang was at work at the oppo-
site end of a long string of cars, made
a coupling on the rear end. The coupl-
ing was an easy one. but hard enough
to send each car of the string bump
ing into the next until the last car,
the car next to the one on which the
men were working, was moved. 1t
was only moved a short distance. but
far enough to catch the unfortunate
men between the end of the crowbars
and the car.
Garcia was. it is thought, seriously
injured. The iron bar penetrated the
lower part of his body and the wheels
of the moving car passed over one
ankle. Paz is not thought to be dan
gerously injured The bar made nc
flesh wound on his person, but the
breath was knocked out of him, and
at o'clock this afternoon he was yet
unable to talk.

ST. LOUIS FLOOD.
No Danger Apprehended in That City
From High Water.

St. Louis, June 3.-The Mississippi
river continues to rise, stage of 31.2
feet being shown at a. m. This Is q
rise of 1.S feet during the past twenty
four hours. 1t is expected that thir-
ty-two feet will be reached sometime
today. In the neantime people all
along the river front, both here and in
East st. Louis. are preparing for the
big flood Weather Observer Bowie
says of the situation:
"The river at Kansas City is re-
ported ten miles wide. Whatever the
cause of the delay in the arrival OF
the waters from that food stage, the
outlook here becomes more encourag-
ing. The Mississippi below here Is
comparatively low. which means water
a. present in the st. Louis district
will move out rapidly, thereby possibly
permitting the Kansas City stage or
water to reach here Friday or Satur-
day, at time when most of the flood
from the Des Moines river and the
upper Mississippi will have passed
here.

Mr.. Mcintosh, the weather conditions
at Chilli were fine, but the high winds
and dry weather, which followed, cut
down the excellent averages expected
by the Chilli sheep raisers from lamb

but the average in lambs saved will
now amount to about 80 per cent
am satisfied with the average, and can
say that the sheep on the whole were

Denver, June 3.-Complete returns
show that every candidate on the civic

ing from $500 to 1856. Irving Hale
received the largest and Mrs. Wells
the smallest plurality. There is some
talk Of contesting the election in the
hope that the canvassing board may
be induced to throw out enough pre-
cincts to change the face of the re-
turns. The council claims the right
to canvass the vote, but manw com
petent lawyers hold that the canvass

clerk and two justices of the peace
and the result is probable that these
latter will act.
