Meets a Horrible Death.

A special from Philadelphia says
that, caught in a trap and helpless to
save themselves, three men lost their
lives and four others, including Lieu
tenant William c. Cole, were terribly
scalded Thursday by rush of steam
and boiling water in the fireroom of the
battleship Massachusetts,, lying at the
League isl7nd navy yard. The acct.
dent was caused by the giving way of
a gasket or rubber w"sher on boiler
on the starboard side of the ship.
Without warning the gasket between
the boiler plate and the boiler head
gave way and terrific rush of steam
and hot water occurred. The doors of
the fire room were closed at the time
and the only avenue of escape was
safety ladder. Only one man, Bramlet,
a ships fireman, thought of the lad
der and he ESCAPED without scar.

The senate, on Friday, by vote o

On some of the amendments sug

INDIAN KILLS HIS SWEETHEART
Romance OF Red Man Ends In Murder
of Indian Maiden.

of Indian Maiden.
A special from Reno, Nevada, says
Jerry Harry, a strapping Indian OF
Lander county, tried to steal four.
teen-year.old Indian girl by the name
of Nellie Muncry. Her mother had
refused to allow her to marry him.
He took the girl ON horse and
was ESCAPING, when her abductor dis
covered that he was being followed
and would be captured, he shot his In
dian sweetheart and escaped into the
mountains.
1t appears that the Indian visited
the camp of the old woman and de-
manded her daughter in marriage.
She refused and he asked to speak to
the g'rl for few minutes. He pulled
the girl onto the horse behind his sad
die and made for the mountains. A
number of Indians and the officers OF
Lander county started in pursuit and
were about to capture the daring lover
and little Nell, when they heard re-
port of pistol and the girl rolled
from the horse. The Indian then hur-
ried on into the mountains and be-
came lost from view. The officers are
now looking for him and have great
hopes of capturing him.
