Two Men Drowned.
Last Saturday afternoon the
bridge tender of the M. P. R. R. at
the bridge across the Platte at Ore-
apolis attempted to cut a log in
two that had drifted against the
bridge. When he had cut the log
about half in two the pressure from
the ice broke it, throwing the man,
Kd Burgess, into the swift current
of the river. He struggled to save
himself by getting onto a cake of
ice, but tailed, and when he reached
the Hiuiington's bridge Andrew
Hotvid jumped upon the floating
ice in an attempt to save him, reach
ing toward him with a long oike
pole with which lie had been work
ing. Hut the piece of ice to which
he sprang broke in two and lloated
away from the shore, throwing Hot
vid into the water, and both men
were doomed to a terrible death.
Hotvid sank almost immediate',
but Hurgess got hold of the log
which he had cut off and floated
down for some distance before he
went tinder. Their companions
stood on the bridges and watched
their struggles, but wore powerless
to render them any aid.
Hurgess was a single man, about
fifty years of age, a member of the
Grand Army, and his home was at
Atchison, Kansas. Of Hotvid but
little is known other than that he
was unmarried. He died like a man
deserving a bettor fate.

"She's A KOln' Better To-Night."
The fair Pocima Moore was sing
ing her principal solo in "The Wed
ding live," the footlights being
down to give play to the lime. And
one lime-light man in the Hies was
hoard to remark to another:
"She's a goin'a bit bettor to
night, Hill."
"It was just time, too." growled
the other, "Monday night she was
point-thing awful."
"She's all the better since I stuck
a hairpin into her last night," re
joined the first.
Jftiriiing with indignation, a
gentleman w ho had overheard these
remarks sought the stage manager.
"Oh, it is all right," said he, after
hearing the charge; "they wore
talking of the limelight appara
tus, which has been rather trouble
some lately."

A party prospecting in the old
Spanish cupper canyon came upon
the skeletons of forty-three soldiers
in Devil's (iitlch last Monday. The
company has been missing from
Fort Mary ever since the Apache
raitl on Kspanola, Sept. S)th, 1S7'.).
It was supposed they were massa
cred by Indians, as not one ever re
turned, but it seems, however, that
nil died from drinking from a poi
sonous spring where the skeletons
lay bleaching ever since. The skel
etons are still encased in uniform
with guns erected as they left them.
A lot of ammunition and the skel
etons of forty-five horses completed
the ghastly discovery.
