INDIAN WILD BILL sUccuMBs TO
 INJURIES.
(From Fridays DailyD

"Wild Bill.' Piutc Indian, who had become noted throughout Arilona, is dead at Ehrcnburg, Calf. of injuries sustained nearly year ago, when he attempted, with great show of bravado. to outrun the Santa fc Limited. For years the Indian was known ns n run. ncr, and in years gone by carried mes. sagcs from one mining camp to an. other, his flcctncss recommending him as n courier.
 About n year ago, while "Wild Bill' was under the influence of whiskcy, ho deliberately lcapcd upon inc failroad right of way and sped before the train shouting deiantly. The engineer made an effort to cheek his train, but in vain. and "Wild Bill" was tossed through the air, falling heavily on the desert. Though badly injured the rcdskin surprised the trninmen by scrnmbling to his feet and racing to- | ward the Colorado.
 IIc was found two days later by a party of mining men and Indians. His entire body seemed to be mass of discolorations, while his back was laid open for several inches and he was almost scalped. It was not thought that he could survive. The miners wanted to carry him to Kingmnn, and while preparing for the removal other Indians secretly stole the injured run ncr, carrying him to n distant camp where hc was carefully treated by ib' squaws
 He had recovered sufficiently to walk back to the Ehrenburg region, hut his spirit seemed to bc entirely broken by being outdis,anccd by n locomotive and this, together with several intcrna injuries. from which he never who'll, recovered, brought about his death.
