SHOT OFF TOE.

While Shooting Rats.
William Calder, son of Mr.. and Mrs,
w. w. Calder Of Maple avenue. fig
ured in a peculiar accident Wednesday
afternoon which may leave him with
permanently maimed toe on the righs
foot Late in the afternon, Calder went
to the city dump at the end of Brook
street for the purpose Of shooting rats
which abound in large numbers there.
He carried with him small rife of the
22-ealibre model He rested the weapon,
barrel downward, on his right foot. In
some unexplainable manner the gun ex-
ploded, the ball passing through the sec
ond toe of the foot and penetrating the
flesh OF the first toe.
With some little difficulty, he was
able to limp home, where physician
was summoned Examination showed
that the ball had shattered the bone of
the second toe, glancing then into the
flesh of the next member. The wound
was dressed and the injured young man
is making as good progress as could be
expected. Unless some unlocked for
complications set in, it is not thought
that amputation of the second toe will
be necessary. The wound in the first
toe is of trivial nature and will heal
shortly. The bullet responsible for the
punctured toes, was found in the young
mans shoe.

several hundred persons about to board
a local train at the Elizabeth avenue

right and left, and killed two women
and baggagemaster who tried to res

Edward S. Saunders, of Point Pleas
ant, n. J., baggagemaster of the local
train.
Saunders heard the oncoming express
and shouted warning which cleared
the track of those f1ocking across it to
the standing local train with the excep-
ton of Mrs. Stone and Mrs Cosgrove
The latter saw the approaching train
and tried to assist her mother. whose
step was slow because of age and in
firmities.
When the express was almost upon
them the bagga gemas ter leaped from
his coach and ran towards them as if
to drag them with him across the
tracks. The train caught the trio
squarely in the center of the tracks and
hurled them 80 feet, mutilating their
bodies and splattering their blood upon
the clothes of half a dozen or more
women who had narrow escapes.

Setback for Insurrectos.
Chihuahua, Mex, April 17.-Forty or
more insurrectos were killed and more
than 100 were wounded in a battle
fought between Sause and Santa Clara
canyon, about so miles north of here,
according to federal couriers who ar
rived Sunday. They brought orders to
have hospital cots ready for federal
wounded. The federals report five kill
the figures. Several women and chill
dren are believed to be among the
killed.
Coming across from Casas Grandes
on their way to Chihuahua with pris-
oners under General Luis Valdez, the
federals followed by about 100 refugees,
were attacked
Five hundred insurrectos under Gen
erals Orozco and Villa had been in
structed by Francisco Madero to head
off the Casas Grandes contingent and
if possible capture and release the pris-
oners. Tns fight occurred on a hacien-
da as the prisoners, shackled together
by ropes, and the women and children
refugees, weary from the long tramp
were scattered in a long broken line.
The feGerals Immediately responded
with heavy fighting and placed the
prisoners and noncombatants under
protection. The fighting continued for
several hours and resulted in sending
north General Rabago with 500 rein
forcements.
The extent of the fight became known
when riderless horses arrived here with
evidences of having left the front in a
stampede. So far as known, none of
the prisoners, among whom are believ-
ed to be many Americans, were wound
ed, and none escaped, although these
statements are based on unofficial re-
DOrfS.

MRS. MARCEL DIVORCED
Wife of Bank Wrecker Given Custody
of Children.

Troy. Kan, April 17.-Mrs. J. E.
MARCEL. wife of the Highland bank
wrecker, has been granted divorce
She accused her husband of deser-
ton. She was also given custody OF
her three minor children
Mrs. MARCEL still lives in the Mar
cell home at HighIan which her hus-
band sold in Kansas City under
forged deed. Efforts to take the home
away from her have not proved sue
cessful.
In the course of her statement in
court Mrs. MARCEL said that she was
convinced that her husband was now
living in Los Angeles under an as
sumed name and that he had again
married without the formality of get
ting divorce from her. She declared
that she was also sure that he had
been arrested there on a charge of
bigamy. but she had declined to press
the charge.
]. E. MARCEL, who was once cashier
of a bank in Highland, Kan, got into
trouble for the first time in January,
1904, when he was arrested for forg-
cry. His operations are said to have
brought him 100000. He was con-
victed and sent to the penitentiary at
Lansing to serve a sentence of thirty
three years. He was released, how
ever, February 10, 1903 and went
back to Highland, where he again en-
gagged IN business. June 20. 1909, ne
disappeared, after obtaining $4,000
on worthless paper from Kansas City
banks. MARCEL has never been seen
to be positively identified since then.
A year later, in June, 1910, man
who said his name was James A
Woodbury., was arrested in Chicago
and taken to Los Angeles, where he
was given a prison sentence for pass
ing worthless checks. IT was said at
that time that Woodbury. was MARCEL,
but the Kansas City bankers who had
lost through MarcelPs transactions
made no effort to identify the man. He
spent twelve hours in the holdover
here while on his way from Chicago
to Los Angeles, but the police failed
to recognize the Kansas banker, if
Woodbury. was really the man.
Marcells father, it is said, settled his
here. Woodbury. was pa
rolled in Los Angeles January 1, 1911.
A Young woman who said she was his
wife was instrumental in helping the
supposed MARCEL regain his freedom.
Mrs. J. E. MARCEL the bankers
wife, continued to live in Highland.
