Besides the l25 deaths due to tetanus,
ninety persons were killed by various

concreted asa feet of their ditch west
OF Loveland six inches thick, at a

Greek Has Foot Crushed

Ahastios Pangotus, a Greek AZ
years old, was injured Wednesday at
White City and was brought to the
Greeley hospital. where he is under
the care of the railroad physician.
The Greek was work with the
Union Pacific construction gang
which is laying track east Of Greeley
when one OF the heavy rails dropped
ana smashed his foot.
The foreigner was operating a
jack which Is used to lift the rails
to the proper level after the ties are
spiked. While bearing down ON the
handle of the jack the tongue, which
bears the weight of the rail, broke
and the heavy steel came down upon
the Greeks foot. While badly
crushed the doctor does not think
that any bones are broken and Auas-
tios will enjoy himself in the hos
pital for at least six weeks, as the
company is probably liable for the
defective jack. The unfortunate fel.
low wi probably receive enough to
start in the fruit business.

TWO MILES WIRE
FENCE VANISHED
ACCUSED MAN IN LOWER COURT
Jack Barnes Bound Over to Dis,r,.,
Court at $500

Jack Barnes, wuo was arrested
some weeks ago for the theft of two
miles OF wire fence, was given his
preliminary hearing Monday after
noon before Justice Hatch and hold
to the district court under the charge
of larceny. His bond was placed at
5000, which will be furnished today
by his relatives from The Grover dis
trict.
Barnes entered no defense what
ever. and the case was closed after
the prosecution had submitted it's
evidence. 1t was shown that Barnes
had removed two miles of wire and
the posts from the ranch of HALEY &
Harris, east Of Crow Creek who
moved It to his own homestead sew
eral miles distant NJ. Fitch, who
lived upon the adjoining homestead
and was foreman Tor Haley e. Harris,
identified the fence, and one witness
testified that Barnes had admitted
to him that he stole the fence, but
that the stealing was accomplished
In Nebraska.
Barnes was represented by Attor-
ney Patterson OF Sterling. The lat
ter had intended to defend on the
ground of jurisdiction but found the
situation different from what he had
expected. He understood that the
fence alleged to have been stolen
was taken from homestead, which
would be government property and
in that case only the federal court
would have Jurisdiction. 1t was
proved, however, that the Haley L.
Harris ranch, from which the fence
was taken, is decided land. Barnes
had to remain in Jail overnight until
his relatives arrived to bail him out

WHO GAVE GUN
To DEAARI

ANNAPOLIS. July 26.-Pursuant
with his promise to recall every
witness I'm the inquiry into the
death Of Lieutenant James Sutton
of Oregon, Attorney Davis, repre-
senting the officers mother, today
examined Lieutenant Osierman In
an effort to learn whether he
handed the pistol to Sergeant De-
Hart on the night OF the tragedy.
Osterman denied that he gave the
gun to Dehart.
Davis action is the result of De-
harris testimony in which declared
he came to the marine camp at the
naval academy in drunken con-
dition on the night Sutton was
shot. He said he had a hazy recol-
lection someone handed him a gun.
When Davis heard this ne declared
he would call every man connected
with the fracas preceding the al
legged suicide to learn II the SER
geant's story was correct.
