Ho grasped the railing on the forward
platform of the trailer nnd was swung around
between the two .cars , falling across the
rails. The trala was stopped almost instantly ,
but not before the unfortunate innn had
sustained serious and possibly fatal In-
jurlcs ,
The wheels of the trailer did not pass
over him , but struck niridnst the
lower portion of the trunk , pushing the body
before thorn. The man's coat WM caught In
"the track crossing ? and ho was doubled up in
such n manner that it was a wonder that
that every bono In his body was not broken ,
The , car was thrown from tno track and It
was found necessary lo raise It before Snow-
den could bo extricated from his painful and
dangerous million. Ho WAS taken Into a
neighboring drap store , and later removed to

patrol wagon. Besides numerous cuts and
urulscs It was found that ho had sustained n

" \VbatTwo Well Il KCi'.i in Search of
Wntor Found.
Henry Ilielor and II. R. Fisher , two well
diggers , wore Uigglncavell on tbo property
of Lou Adams , Forty-fifth and L.oavonworth
streets Saturday. When a depth of forty-
flvo foot had been reached tbo bottom sud
denly fell out of the hole nnil the mca bad a
narrow cscnpo. They munaijoa. to save their
lives by quickly grasping the rope of the
windlass which was hanging down the well.
AS ! it was , all their tools \\era sucpt away
into what was then supposed to bo a sub
terranean stream.
For a time the water rushed by the open
ing with great rapidity and gave out a
peculiar sulphurous odor. After a time .tho
rushing and the odor coascd. The water Is
very clear now that it has become quiet and
has the taste of pure mountain stream water.
Soundings were madein an endeavor to as
certain tbo depth of the cavern , buj. 100 foot
of rope let clown failed to find the bottom.
Mr. Adams has abandoned the hole as a
well and will have It securely boarded up.
Tbo walls of the shaft near the bottom are
rapidly caving .In , caused , no doubt , by the
action of the wnor * during the first rush.
Last night the surface of the water at the
bottom of the well was perfectly smooth.
No current was visible.
It Is probable that the well differs have
tapped some of the many subterranean
streams that carry oil the great rainfall of
Nebraska.

ST. JOSEPH , Mo. , April 0. Last Wednes
day Mrs. Bcsslo Rico died In distressed cir
cumstances. She cnmo to St. Joseph last
Juuo , claiming to bo stranded en route to
California. The Grand Army posts provided
for her until her death. Mrs. Jtico had with
her a little girl whom she coiled her da'uga-
tcr. Shortly before her death she called Mrs.
J. F. Holla to her bedside nnd confided to her
thocnroof the girl , stating at the same time
that she had stolen the girl when she was
seven days old and bad spent a fortune in
fleeing from the pursuit of her father. Mr.
Charles Ycnman , a merchant of Wator-
towu , S. D. , arrived in the city
the other day , and after in
quiry found Mrs. Holla , from whom ho
claimed tbo child as bis daughter. Ho stated
that Mrs. Hlco had not stolen the child In the
first place , but his first wife , who died at the
llttlo girl's birth , had given her babe to Mrs.
Hlco to care for until ho could take suitable
charge of it. When Mr. Yeaman mnrrlod a
second tltno and went lor his llttlo glrl'ho
found that Mrs. Hlco bad secretly departed ,
taking the girl \vith her. After sovcn years
of fruitless search ho located the woman in
St. .Joseph shortly before her death , but
owing to hir condition did not prosecute her
or mnko any inovo except to have the girl
shadowed. Mrs. Hlco had so prejudiced the
llttlo ono against her father that when ho
made himself known she wont into hysterics
nnd ho bos thus far been unable to persuade
her to accompany him. She is now nine
years old ,

Good Reports from Southern Ne

ATCIIISON , Kan. , April 0. [ Special Tele
gram to Tan BEE. ] C. M. Rathburn , super
intendent of the Missouri Pacific , whoso ter
ritory includes about ono thousand
miles of road north and west of
Kansas City , has had reports as
to the crop prospects from all his subordi
nates and from every station in his territory ,
lie says they are very gratifying , the best in
the history of the road and the realization
equals the anticipation , Northern Kan
sas and southern Nebraska will have
the largest yield of wheat over known. The
acreage was never so large. Farmers who
suffered by the drouth last year hnvo seem
ingly given all their attention to wheat this
season rather vhnn risk corn , which matures
so into in the year. This , however does not
mean that thcru will bo a shortage of corn , as
the farmers have such a good wheat prospect
they are getting ready to try com as usual.
