 North bound No. 102, in charge of Engineer William Burns, and conduc- tor Chas. Moore ,ran over the body of an unknown man two miles south of Colt on the St. Louis & Iron Mountsin R. k last Friday. The man was suppos- ed to be intoxicated, and was lying on the south end of the trestle and was not seen by the engineer in time to stop.
 The body. which was horribly mangled, was gathered up by the train officials, placed in an egg case, and brought to Colt, where the train was held until the train master was te!e- phoned for in regard to the disposition of the body. It was decided to leave the remains at Colt until the coroner was sent for and held his inquest, and the way that worthy performed that duty was enough to insult any self re- specting citizen.
 To begin with, the man had no let ters or papers for Identification, except small bible with the name Hiram Warnlck written on the fly leaf. l. is not certain, however, that 1t was his name, he also had two photographs- one of lady and the other, small girl and also had SIS s5 in cash in a purse.
 Coroner Alley came from Forrest | City and held d little inquest, paid man So to go down in the woods, dig hole and chuck the body in. 1 He then pocketed the remaining Sl0. S5 | and left for Forrest City. Now the Colt Mercantile C., per MT. Block, of fered to sell him a cheap coffin for S6. 00, and he could have bought blanket and wrapped theqemains in it, and q least given the man a decent burial There are a number of men who would have volunteered to bury him for noth ing. The deceased was perfect stran ger but that is no sign that he should be treated like hog, and we, the un- dersigned, express the sentiments Of the community, when We condem the acts of Coroner Alley and consider i gross insult to our town and county Signed, NJ E.

Assumed Name.

New York, Aug. 24.-On board the Red
Star line steamer Vaderland, which ar
rived Tuesday from Antwerp, was Mrs.
Florence Chanler Maybrick, recently
released from prison in England. Mrs.
Maybrick was entered on the passenger

which she took from her great-grandpa-
rents. This precaution was not designed
to evade official inquiry, but merely to
avoid annoying observation on the part
OF fellow passengers. While she made
no secret Of her presence on board and
appeared frequently about the decks and
saloon, very few were aware of her iden-
tity. She was accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel " Hayden. Mr.. Hayden
is her attorney.
Mrs. Florence Maybrick left her ho-
tel Wednesday for Ellenville, in the
Catskill mountains, where she will re-

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-L1ke the

fries Friday night in the second round.
The man from the mining district made
such an extremely sorry showing that
the great throng in Mechanics pavil-

to Referee Graney against the decision
that had been given in favor Of JET
fries.
The two giants had not been In the
ring two minutes when it was foreseen
that the aspirations of Munroe would
be quickly disposed Of. The miner was
scared and awkward and Jeftries in the
first round had him twice on the can
vas taking the count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach Of his opponent,
and each shot was followed by blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees. Jeffries went back to his cor
ner after the opening round with q
sneer and laugh on his swarthy face,
while Munroe's seconds busted them
selves with smelling salts and restora-
tives. When the two came together for
the second round the laugh on the
champions visage changed to look of
determination that BODIED i'll to the
miner.
Forty-ive seconds after the gong
sounded Munroe was lying on the
floor, bloody, bruised mass of human
ity, with Jeffries standing over him,
ready, If necessary, to put the quietus
on the championship ambitions Of his
adversary. The miner was too dazed
to rise to his feet and the timekeepers
counted him out.
A great throng witnessed the con-
test. Estimates Of the number in at
tendance range from 1000 to 5000, and
it is believed that the gate receipts will
approximate SIS, 900.
