THE PABKEBAEr.
TJ. S.. Marshal Blerbower' Bulldozes the
Officers into giving: him Possession"
of the "Prisoner.
. jU. S. Marshal Bierbower arrived in the
city last Saturday morning after Charles
. Barker", and a lively jacket .ensued xbe
tween thelatter's .attorneys arid the Mar
shal for the possession of the prisoner.
The attprners held that Parker Jiadjieen
committed on. a State warraricharging
him with shooting with Intent toTcM" aud
until that matter was settled the U. S.
authorities had no right to take him.
-The Marshal threatened to have the
whole 'outfit, attorneys and ;oificej-s, ir
rested and taken before Judge Dundy for
obstructing service of U. S. court process,
as he was armed with a bench -warrant for
Parker's arrest, if the prisoner was not
surrenderedto.him. -The prisoner-had?
been remanded to the. custody ofthe
jherifllP.tXihColn.county. on the commit-J
ment of Judge bnelling, and after a time
these J61Bcersrveaken.ed, Sheriff Haley
surrerideredthB prisoner to the Marshai,
who "manacled him and kept him under

.ofthe attorneys for Parker to commence
proceedings against Bierbower for dam
ages but they found considerable rdiffi-
cultyjin getting Into the presence of the

prisoner sign the petition, at on6 'time
going spJTar as to snatch the papers from
the hands of the attorney. The' were
afterwards returned to 'the attorney who
was obliged to verify the petition, him

The upshut of the matter was that
Parker was taken to Omaha. J. S. Hoag
land, one of Parker's attorneys, went
- down, to def end his client When brought
before Judse Dundv. he made a motion
that' the prisoner be returned back to
Kbrtfi"Pl'atte,-but' the motion was over1
ruled, and an order was issued for the
transfer ,of the prisoner to Wyoming, fix
ing bail at $7,500, with five days in which
to obtain bondsmen. ; J
Itf lHw'tliefe is no" question but what
the attorneys for Parker are right. He
had been' arrested with "intent to kill.
This charge could not be' disposed of by
the prosecuting attorneys and the sheriff
without going through the proper Jcdurse..
But the prisoner having been surrendered
to the possession of the Marshal, he has
might and nine points of, the law on his
side. He can ask the question without

A serious accident happened to. No. 4
on the TJ. ProatL. at Sand Creek four
miles this sfdec of Denver Wednesday
evening. S4ndi. Creek ia-a dry bed of

heavy rains or Kwater spouts, and the
bridge -is within a few'yafas of where the
B. ccAK'crosses the u. P. track. At

Engineer! Peter" Masterson went down
with theienglneTahd is probably burried
under the wreck-jasmins body could not be
found. 'I he fireman Hiram Smith es
caped, but was badly scalded and in
jured, reports yesterday evening being to
the effect that lie had died . The baggage
man was also badly injured. Authentic
Information-is' hard'to get, the Denver
papers only having meager accounts . At
last accounts the engine was rapidly sink
ing into the quick sand. Some years
ago a Kansas Pacific engine went Into a
similar stream and it is there yet.
The accident was caused by a heavy
rain or "cloud burst," -which had washed
away the. supports of the bridge.
There, iseems to be a fatality about
this accident. Usually the B. &M.
train leaves Denver first, and was only
saved from a like fate by the accident to
theTJ. P. train, as tho B. & M. bridge
crossing the same stream washed away
also ; but on this occasion the TJ. P. train
left first.. Bruce Tarkington was the re
gular engineer who should have Dulled
the train out, but he was off on a fishing
excursion arid Masterson was temporari
ly running his engine. Engineer Chad-wick-had
reported for duty in the after
noon and it had been -arranged to send
him out on the engine, but not being noti
fied, up to a late hour he concluded that
he was not to go out and went up town
He had not left the union depot more
than ten minutes before the caller came
after him. That ten minutes saved one
of North Platte's best citizens.
Later information secured last evening makes
it probable, that Engineer MaetereOa was trashed
oat of the cab and was probably drowned. Fire
man Smith, was carried down tho stream in an
insensible condition about 800 Tarda, where be
waB picked op by parties living near by. The
baggage man escaped uninjured. There were
about so ten foot of water in the creek. A tramp
and a runaway boy were riding on the front plat
form of, tho baggage, car. The tramp received
injuries, from which he subsequently died.

it is not considered av. fait to hunt for
scalps among bald-headed men. He should
go over into Utah; the Mormons are
never bald-headed. We don't suppose
the bloody savage will take this advice,
but it's given all the same without money
and without price.

Prof. Alexander has been delivering
lectures at Lloyd's opera house this week:
on phrenology. The professor is said
to be well grounded in th0 science, and
makes interesting lectures, but partly on
account of a lack of interest and partly
on account of bad weather, he has had
rather poor houses Interest In the
science, was at its hight about - a .quarter
of a century ago, when Profs., -Fowler
and Wells, Dr. Simuis and numerous
other students gave the subject promi

have been rather scarce, at least; in. the

Mr. Andrew Baker, who resides in 32
37, has a little son three years old and a
little girl some older who were playing
together in the'yard one day1 last week
when they found a Targe rattlesnake.
The little boy not knowing the danger
took the snake up in his hands, which:
frightened the little .girl and she ran in
to inform her mother. Mrs: Baker buried
into the yard and; was not a little fright
ened to see her little son tightly grasping
the snake, just below the head. -' When he
saw his mother coming he threw; the
snake at his feet; strange to say it did
not bite him., The snake which had 'five
rattles, was instantly killed by Mrs. B.
