A SEX i ue’uE MURDER.
Horrible Tragedy In North dnknta—
drunken Indian* Hnajisetrd.
Wixo.xa. N. D.. l-'eb. go. -A sextuple
tragedy was discovered one mile from
this place yesterday on the rauch of
Rev. Thomas Spicer. The horribly
mutilated I indies of Mr, and Mrs,
Spicer, their daughter. Mrs. William
House, with her 1 year-old twin boy*,
find the aged Mrs Waldron, the
mot tier of the postmaster at this place,
were discovered scattered limit the
ranch, and there i- yet no positive clue
to the perpetrators of tin: horrible
crime.
The appearance about tlie ranch,
« l.i l.f , i... .l ........
other drruDistances have led to the
suspicion t lint the murder was coin
milted hy Indians, and tills suspicion
was in part started from the known
fact that one Indian was seen in the
neighborhood of the ranch. Then,
toil, the bodies were terribly mutilated
with axes and dubs, which fact is
taken to at least partially corroborate
t lie suspicion of tlie Indian murderers.
The Standing Uoek Indian reserva
tion is not far away, and when the In
dians from tiu-i-c get away from sight
and manage to get. hold of whisky,
there is sure to h trouble.
If tile murders were committed by
Indians, the murderers are undoubt
edly now back among the reservation
Indians. There is much excitement
here over the tragedy.

truth, cheered lustily for the little

The death blow did not appear to
hr an especially vigorous one and not
one person in the amphitheater sus
pectrd the horrible truth. Coleman's
eyes were open and rolling, although
his tongue was stilled and Ids muscles
were all relaxed. Some thought it
was only a b';t of clever acting in order
to escape further punishment. It was
nearly two hours later that the hoy
died from a broken neck.

THE RECORD BROKEN.
C., B. A Q. ACCOMPLISHES A
GREAT FEAT.
Truin of till* Hurling ton Houtr
IIiiii* from < lo Denver. 1,0*£3
Mlien, at mi of Ncarl/
H MIIcn mii Hour.
The Chicago, Burlington ft Quincy
Railroad has Just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fast running.
It was made In n rurc against death
to carry Henry Muyhant of New
York to the bedside of his dying sou iu
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Den
ver, 1.025 miles, was covered In ex
actly 1,000 minutes' actual running
time. Tills Is Only a small Mellon
less than one mile a minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad In the world.
It w-as a run made In the ordinary
course of business. No special prepa
ration whatever had been content*
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open uud the.
train glided out of the Union Depot on
n race which surprised railroad men
l he world over. t
The engine which took llie train on
the first run out of Chicago to Oales
liurg had Jiihi come In from Aurora
pulling u regular passenger train. No
lime was. spent In cleaning up, but It
was quickly turned around, attached to’
the special train and manned by the
Hiirrif* i * it if i iis*s ’ w 11 * i hut iitmisrhl it to
Chicago. Not mote than u half dozen
officials or employes of the road knew
the trip wus to he made. This fact Is
the most Important In the history of
the great feat, as It demonstrates the
superb physical condition of the road
and the perfect mauageiiu fU which en
ables such remarkable time to be
maintained for more than a thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break
ing train Is as follows, Including all
rtops:
Vrom Chicago Miles. Time.
To (lalesburg . 103 2h. ohm.
To Burlington . 200 3h. 48111
To Pacific Jet. 482 9h. 5m.
To Lincoln . 541 lOh. 11 m.
To Hustings . 038 I2h. 3m.
To McCook . 770 J4b. 15m.
To Denver . 1.025 18b, 53m.
Average lime. In. hiding stops, 54.3
miles per hour.
Average time, excluding stops, 57.51
miles per hour. .
The flrst stop made by the tralu after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed. At Aurora the traveling en
gineer took one minute to look the en
gine over and the train ran without a
stop until Mendota was reached, when
'three minutes more were consumed for
the same purpose. A total of twenty
one stops was made between Chleago
and Denver, consuming In all si.xty
four minutes. The longest stop was
made at Red Oak, la., where engines
were changed 011 account of a hot
truck. At. this point the fastest run
of the trip was made. Soon after leav
ing Creston It was discovered that a
box on one of the engine trucks was
beating, hut lu spite of this fact the
run of thirty-six inlleH was made In
thirty-four minutes. At VllllBca a
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oak. fifteen miles, was
made In as many minutes.
Over long stretches of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
more than a mile a minute for dis
tance..-, of forty to sixty miles. Six en
gineers took the train from Chleago to
Denver, making an average of 170
miles to each run.

tion of the sun among the constella
tions and the second or shorter period
was reckoned and divided Into months,
this |*erlod being calculated according
to the various phases of the moon.
I5ven long before the time when years
anil months were first calculated primi
tive man must have noted the days
and the nights, calculating them by the
alternate light and darkness, which
depended on the rising and setting of
the sun. Here we have three ill visions
of time the year, the month and the
day hut how long men lived without
more accurate divisions, such as hours,
minutes and seconds, no one can tell.
After ages had elapsed some genius tlg
ured out the sundial the first attempt
at dividing the day. Later on we find
some thoughtful horologlst figuring on
a machine which would leak out a
given quantity of fine sand In a certain
length of time, us indicated by the sun
dial. This machine, when Anally com
pleted, was one which allowed the run
ning of a given quantity of sand front
hour ami on that account II wax called
an hourglass. But these expedients
were ull unsatisfactory, as was also the
method adopted hy King Alfred of
measuring time by the burning of a
uundle. The dissatisfaction finally re
sulted In the invention of a rude clock
this In 1378. Tills original clock was
made by one Tie Wyck for Charles V.
of Prance and was sei in ilie tower
of the king's palace. Since that time
the progress along the line of time
measuring machines bus only been In
the way of Improvement.

The several uioiiiitalu railways al
ready laid In Switzerland seem to have
whetted the appetite of electricul en
gineers for greater achievements. The
latest scheme is u railway to the tot)
of the Jungfrau Peak.
The enterprise Is one of the most
stupendous of the age, for the cap of
the Jungfrau. Is 14,000 feet above the
sea level. Pancy riding to such a
height In a train. To lie able to do so
on the surface of the mountain would
he marvelous enough, hut most of the
route will he through a tunnel cut
through the center of the mountain.
The astheth side of the enterprise lias
been well considered hy the company
which will hullil the road, and the
Swiss Government, which has approv
ed of the scheme. The old mouiain
ellmber might he tempted to declaim
against n project which would rob Al
pine-climbing of its perils, and ter
rors. hilt he will he silenced when he
<s told that 'iie Alpine Club has ap
proved of the toad.
Something of the vnstness of the
enterprise will be realized when It, Is
pointed out that the difference in level
between the lower and upper terminal
will he 7,000 feet, and that this al
titude or rise will he accomplished
within a distance of seven and a half
miles. No such grade has ever been
attained before, and so step does It
finally become that the passengers will
he compelled at the last moment to
alight from the ears and aeeomolish
the remaining 330 feet In an elevator.
There are forty mountain roads in
Switzerland, and the Jack rail Is used
on all. It will be used on the Jungfrau
mail.Its construction Ik such that tlx
car cannot Klip backward Hhuttld the
propelling power give out.
