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.

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..

The car is now stationed at Ogallala but will be herve in a week.or two. Mrs. Lester Eells returned Thursday evening from her visit to Soda Springs, Salt L:ike and Cheyenne. .

Lou Simon arrived from Chicago Thurs day morning after a three weeks' ab sence. Mr. S. says the fall trade with Ihq Chicago wholesale houses is simply immense. He bought a heavy stock for the Palace andin a week or so patrons of that popular establishment will find there anything they desire. Miss Leora Stevens entertained about twenty -five of her young friends Saturday evenmer in celebration of her fifteenth birthday, the young lady being the recip ient of a number of handsome presents. The guests departed at a proper time wishinjr tho hostess many happy returns of the day. A party of gentlemen assembled at the residence of H. .L. Walsh Tuesday to as sist the lord of the household in properly celebrating the closing hours of his birth da' anniversary. Though not very large the party was a jolly one and the evening was a pleasant onethroughout A pala table collation was served by Mrs. Walsh and after doing justice to the feast the participants withdrew. County Attorney Nesbitt went over to Gandy Thursday afternoon, the object of his visitbeinc to see if Charles Parker alias James Harris has any property in that part of the country. There should be something left, at least Maj. Bash and his friends hope there is. Parker had several horses, but report says he sold them before he was arrested and robbed by the "U. S. Marshalls.?' To verify the correctness of this report will be no easy matter. Water Works are to be commenced at once and it will soon be time to attend to the matter of getting water into your house, which will be a great-convenience as well as a pro tection to your property. Conway & Keith have secured the services of a pro fessional plumber from the east and will have him here to attend to this class of work as soon as the pipes are laid. Any one contemplating piping their nouses will do well to call at once and we will give all ,neccessary information, au work guaranteed first-class. ' CONWAY & KEiTn. -Fatal Railroad Accident 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 quick sandexcept when rthere are very heavy rains or Kwater spouts, and the bridge -is within a few'yafas of where the B. ccAK'crosses the u. P. track. At this crossing trains come to a halt, a por tion ofthe TJ. P. train generally standing .1. i sj ' - it!. r . , uu wo uruige . vjii uiis occasion uio irain stopppdas.usual, but had only proceeded aFfew-yaras whra engine the plnnged info the creekjollbwed by the expresscar. 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.

A Grand Flaoinff Kxcunlon. W. T. Chadwick. Brace Tarkineton and W. E. Beach arrived home on Wednesday morning from a ten days' fishing excur sion in the Rockies. From Denver they went over the D. & R. G. road to Clmaron at the mouth of the Black Canyon be yond Gunnison. From this point, tne party having been joined by a numuer or Kio Grande people, they traveled some twentv-fiv6 miles to Eaele river, where the nsh were remark&My. uacic ana anx- 1VUO 1AM UC UlUgUI. A WUUB MJ resulted in a catch of about eight hun dred golden spreckkd trout, langingin lencth- from eieht to eiehteen Inches. The boys had a grand time, as may be ira- ainned. located as thev were in tne great mountain region, of southern and western Colorado, there was plenty of other and larger game, such as deer, elk, bear, wolves and lions, that sorely tempted the nimrods of the party, but they had not gone prepared for meeting these, monarchs of the forest. Thes they had some fears that btray members of Col orow's band might be around lifting hair, and they had no hirsute covering to spare, at least this writer can affirm from per sonal knowledge that some of them had not, and we beg to assure Colorow that' 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. But to return to the sub ject. Time and and means not permitting a battle with lion and bear, our fishermen . returned home, bringing home several hundred of the finny tribe to distribute among their friends, and the writer acknowledges him self under obligations to Mr. Beach for a fine mess. The members of the nartv desire to publicly express their thanks to the of ficials ofthe Denver 4b Bio Grande for the many courtesies received from' the managers of that road. A car loaded with ice to preserve the flak aad other, comforts suitable for a mountain trin. was placed at their service, with orders to attach it to any train and sid4rack it at any point desired. They were also under obligations to our former townsman Alex. Struthers for kiadaess and atten tion. The locomotive eavglnesrs of the TJ. P. appreciate such treatment The North Platte Water Works Co.

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 nence. Of late lecturers in this 'field have been rather scarce, at least; in. the West, and perhaps of second class, giving room for considerable scepticism as to whether there is any true science In phrenology. Tuk Tribune inclines to the opinion that there is. ( , ', 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.
