seriously hurt They were brought
to this city on a wreck train that

slid into the Ohio River. The bag

The excitement of the day came
with the proceedings in the Court of
Superior Judge Thomas Graham.
where the nineteenth and final mem
Der Of the new grand jury was
chosen. II was expected that the
court would recognize either Lang
don or Ruef as district attorney.
Worried by Dcputy sheriff
When the jury had been completed
Heney made objections to the actions
Of a deputy sheriff who had several
times attempted to search him. Ruef
said the deputy was acting under his
instructions, IT being Ruef's belief
that Heney was armed. The court
warned the deputy to cease annoying
Heney.
Ruef then attempted to address the
Judge as an officer of the court, but
Heney objected 10 Ruefs assuming
such right Judge Graham declined
TO pass on the issue, saving that he
would not at that time settle the dis
pute, or recognize any one as an Off
Ger OF the court. He refused to hear
any further argument on the subject.
Ruef obtained permission to speak
as an attorney at the bar, and de-
clared that he wished TO proceed with
an examination into the qualiflca-
tions Of certain grand iurymen.
Heney interrupted, saying that the
first thing that he intended to pre-
sent to the grand jury was evidence
supporting the charges of felony
and misdemeanor against Ruef
At this iuncture another objection
came from r s. Webb attorney gen
oral for the State. who declared that
The court should not permit such
statements to be made before the
grand jury, which was present, as
it might dlsdualify them, and he
avcrred that there was a possibility
that they had already been disquali-
fed
Webb then asserted that he intend
ed to assume charge Of the matters
now be fore the court.

CAUSE OF DISASTER.

Electric train of three cars on
the Pennsylvania West Jersey
and Seashore Line jumped track
on trestle bridge over Thorough
fare" near Atlantic City, and
three cars dropped into 80 feet of
water.
Reported to have been caused
by a rail turning in"
The rail, an outside one, was
probably out of plumb the frac-
tion of an inch. The sharp flange
of the car wheels caught this and
twisted it inward.
The twist threw the first car
off the track and into the water,
dragging the others after it.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials
say the track was in good condi-
tion and the draw properly locked
and until the cars are raised the
cause of the accident cannot be
determined.
A yacht passed through the
draw a short time before the ac-
cident. Daniel b. Stewart. the
bridge-tender, who is So years
old, seems bereft OF his reason
since the accident.

Last Sunday squaw from the
Reservation came to Yerington
looking for trouble with rival
for the affections of her buck. 1t
seems that some weeks ago a Yer
ington squaw went down to the
Reservation to attend the landau
90 and danced too often with a
certain buck who was the lover of
the Reservation squaw. The Res
ervation squaw came to town, and
going to the domicile of the squaw
who does the washing at the Ho-
tel Yerington. which is situated
back of the hotel, took pair OF
shears and cut up several blank
cts, a couple of shawls and some
dresses belonging to the dusky
lauudress. 1t seems that she
made mistake and destroyed the
property of the wrong squaw, the
laundress having nothing to do
with the jealous squaw's buck.
The destroyer of the property was
arrested on the complaint OF the
damaged party, and after she had
remained in Jail for several days
concluded to pay the cost OF the
property she destroyed and secure
her liberty.

1t is rumored that one of the

In Trouble in Bodie.

The Bridgeport Chronicle of last
Saturday gives an account of a
man named A. Stock getting into
trouble at Bodie the first part of
last week. 1t seems that Stock
was interested in a lease on the
Occidental hotel at that place. He
got behind in his accounts and
took some $500 and deposited it
with friend and then bribed his
cook to gag and bind him and
sandbag him, to make it appear
that a robbery had taken place.
The cook hit Stock such a blow
that it nearly fractured his skull.
The whole gang was arrested and
Stock confessed TO the job. Just
what will be done with him has
not yet been learned. He is the
same fellow, it is said, who was in
Yerington last Summer taking
pictures. While here he resided
in Butcher Joe's house, and one
morning claimed that he and his
wife had been chloroformed and
robbed. 1t was afterwards sur
missed that Stock had chlorOfOrmed
his wife, as he and she had some
misunderstanding, and it was even
limited that he had tried to put
her out of the way. When ru-
mors hogan to get pretty thick the
pair got up and left here very
suddenly.

Stole Mining Supplies.

Billy Lee, who recently return
ed from Silver Peak, went up to
Mount Grant few days ago to
look after his prospects there. He
found that while he was away
somebody had broken open his
cabin and stolen all his cooking
utensils, lot of provisions and
number of mining tools. He is
not positive who did this but has
his suspicious, and if he can prove
who took the goods there are
liable to be some arrests made.
