A Knllrnntl Accident.
One of those sail anil unavoidable acci
dents which are now and then bound to
occur on a railroad , happened yesterday
on the Union Dl'acilic , about two miles
cast of Klkhorn The victims thereof
were two Omaliu boys , Cornelius Iluck-
ley anil Michael Doualioo , atulJames
South of Salt Lake Citv , the two latter of
whom were killed instantly.
The particulars of the accident as
far received sire as follows : I'ruight train
No1 , Conductor Itnyworlh and KiiKinccr
Unrke , left hero about half past one yes
terday , wc&t bound. Kear Klk
horn whlio passing through
the Qdocp cut , one of the
trucks of a middle car broke
throwing the. car down the embankment.
All but nix of the card tumbled down the
embankment , being b.idly wrecked
in the fall. Fortunately the
the engine remained on Hie track. Dan
ger signals wore at once put up , and the
work of clearing away the wreck com
menced. It was found that none of the
train hands were injured in the luastand
for a time it was thought that the results
of the accident would not bo at all
serious. One of the train men , however ,
in passing along the rear of the wrecked
train , heard the groans of injured per
sons , proceeding from a mass of piled-up
cars. An investigation followed , and it
was found that four young men had been
stealing a ride in olio of the box-carsand
that in the accident two of them , Dona-
hoe and South , had been killed , and that
the third man , Buckley , was terribly in
jured. A fourth man , whoso 11:11110
is not Known. was in the
car , but escaped without material injury.
The bodies wore taken out as quickly as
possible and Coroner Jro.\el. who was
speedily summoned , went out to the
scene of the disaster on a ten o'clock
extra. The inquest occupied over
three hours anil developed the facts as
stated above. In the mean time a wreck
ing train was sent out and the
work of clearing the track ,
which had been plowed up for
rods , \yas actively pushed. The
probabilities are that before to-morrow
morning there will bo no trace of the
accident so far as the track is conccined.
The passengers on the overland train ,
No. 2 , were transferred to a special sent
out from Omaha and brought into the
city , arriving hero about ten o'clock
yesterday morning.
Till : INQtJKST.
The coroner's jury , which was called
by Coroner Drexel at the scene of the
wreck , examined the train crew and Kct-
tcringliam , the one of the party who was
not injured. They returned a verdict
finding that the deceased , M. Donahue
and .Jaw. Smitl ) , came to their death
while attempting to steal a ride on train
No. 47 of the Union Paeilie. and exoner
ating the company from all blame in the
premi es.

TUB KILLED AND IN.1UUP.D.
A reporter yesterday called at the
residence , on Thirteenth and Cass , of
Michael Donahoo , Sr. , father of the
young man who was killed. The
sad news of the accident had already-
reached the parents , and their grief was
terrible to behold. Mrs. Donahon was
Bobbing and moaning bitterly , and the
father was but little better able to control
his emotions , while the brothers and sisters -
tors wcro giving vent to the passionate
feelings of sorrow which the news had
caused. From one of the neighbors , the
reporter learned something of young
Donahoe. Ho was but eighteen
years of age , ajul has always borne a
good reputation for respectability and
sobriety. Up to a short time ago ho had
been working at his trade , that of car
penter , for Connors , the contractor. On
account of a sore hand , for the last few
days ho 1ms been unemployed. Last night
ho did not say anything to his folks about
going west , though ho intimated to
some of his friends that ho thought ho'd
go on a little western jaunt. Ho did not
spend the night at home. It is supposed
the four young men took a notion to en
joy a ride at the railroad's expense , and
without any definite ideas about destina
tion , etc. , jumped aboard the train which
bore thorn to their death. Donahoe's
father is a Union Pacific shop man.
Cornelius Uuekley , the young man
who was injured , was a son of Owen
Buckley , residing at109 North Klovonth
street , lie was of about the same
ago as Donahoo. and was employed
as moulder In the Union Paeilie shops.
Hois a steady young man and lias been
working up to Wednesday night , when
bo was paid off. The bulk of his
wages ho turned over to his mother. "
About James South , the young man
from Salt Lake who was killed , nothing
IB known.
The bodies of the victims reached hero
yesterday afternoon. Arrangements for
the funeral will bo niatlo to-day ,
WHAT JHJCKLKV SAYS.
A reporter called yesterday on
Uuekley , who has been brought to St.
Jojj'ph's hospital. His limbs were badly
bruised in tlio accident , and one eye is
nearly closed from a severe contusion.
"Donahoe and " ho said "
myself , , "met
these other two men at the depot and wo
btartcd western the freight trainintending
to get oft" at Valley and como back hero
ready for work yesterday. When the acei
tlcnt occurred wo were till sitting up talk
ing. Suddenly there was a jar and the
cars were thrown off the track. It all
happened so quickly that I can't describe
it. I was buried under a pile of timber
apart from the rc.it of ( he boys. 1 do not
know whether they \fcro instantly killed
or not , "
\VIICK. : :

' 'Max Goctz , you are charged with

in the police court yesterday.
' 'Hero I am , your honor , " was the
reply from a seedy-looking tramp who
staggered to the front. "I haf bin

In this eloquent strain Max proceeded
for a few moment. * longer. lie was re-
leaded.
Tom Uub.y and Mrs. Mcllingor were ar
rested for disturbing the peace. Tlio
woman testified that nn by , who is a mere
boy , had been living with her for some
time past , but had contributed nothing ; to
her support. Last night she ordered him
to leave her for good , and by way of em
phasis took an ax and smashed up his
furniture. Both were released upon a
promise to remain apart. Mrs. Mclliuger ,
who is on Ihe shady side of forti' , created
a Email si/.ed sensation in the court room
by announcing that she was tw.enly-eiglit
years of age.
"You were over thirty when I fiivt
came to town , " commented the judge ,
"and that was over sixteen years ago. "
C. C. Noyes , a line-looking , well-
dressed man , had been arrested as a sus
picious character early this morning. Ho

ho was about to utart out to help her
when the ollicor arrested him. Ho was
turned loose.
Several other unimportant eases wore
disposed of. Mat Carroll , who had 110911
arrested for assaulting a litilo girl in
North Omnhii Wednesday , had his case

The UnokliiK ofthe Nc\v llnrvoy htiin-
licr Company Now Here.
The Harvey lumber company , of Chicago
cage , have established largo and com
modious yards near the 1) ) . & M. round
house adjoining Mayno's addition in tlio
southern part of the oily. It is as largo
as any yard wc.it of Chicago , where the
yard owned by this company has the dis
tinguished , reputation of being
the largest in the world. The
Omaha yard is intended exclusively
for wholesale businessNo goods will
bo sold at retail under any circumstances.
The competition which tlio Harvey com
pany has experienced all over the north
west has induced them to open business
hero , and the yard they have now
opened covers the immense space
of ton uqrcs. It has track
room for over one hundred cans in
the yard. The up town ollico for the ac
commodation of patrons has been most
neutrally located for the present at No.
llot ; Farnam street , It will bo
under the direction of Charles A.
Harvuy. This is another wonderful
addition to the trade of Omaha , one that
will be of incalciicable advantage in
building up tho'state and inspire a confi
dence in other great enterprises to come
here and locate. No such well-estab
lished association has located hero in
man v da y.s. The fact that the eastern
yard is backed by a capital of $1,000,000
is evidence of the reliability of our new
accession.
A German GluU.
There is a movement on foot in this city
among a certain number of Gorman citi
zens to establish a distinctively social or
ganization of the same style and import
ance as that of the Omaha club already

consideration for some time , and cinui-
lars embodying thu views of the gentle
men taking the initiative- step have
already boon sent to those who it is
thought favor such a hocicty , As soon as
the festival is over , a meeting of those
Wlm have been -sent circulars , will be

Tlio Fate or Youn Guy of- Kansas
The sad fate of yoking .Guy of Kansas
makes the eyes moisten and the pulses
thrill at the same time. Ho was a boy of
seventeen , brave and level headed , and
was one of a hunting party on the Cimarron -
ron river during the outbreak. One day ,
in riding after ouffalo , ho became sepa
rated from his companions , and his horse
fell into a hole and broke his leg. Gay
had a Winchester rillo and revolver , and
lie could easily have found his way to
camp if ho had not been interfered
with. As was afterward related by an
Indian to an army officer , a band of
thirty redskins were lurking in a
ravine , in the hopes of pouncing
on some of the hunters. Their
first move was to got between Gay and
the camp , and the scouts were then posted
to prevent a surprise by a rescuing party.
The precaution was unnecessary , as dur
ing the excitement of the afternoon ho
was not missed , and no search was made
for him until the morrow. It was known
that the boy was well armed , and the In
dians did not dare to charge him , great
as were the odds in their favor. They re
sorted to the circling dodge to waste" his
ammunition , nnd at the same time kept
up a hot fire on him. At the first appear
ance of the savages Gay shot his horse
dead that he might use the body for a
breastwork. While he was only partly
protectedthe bullets of the Indians failed
to hit him. On the other hand lie fired
deliberately , killing one redskin and
dropping two ponicKbeforo they aban
doned that dodge for another. He was
then invited to parley , but ho fired on
the savages who advanced , realizing that
nothing but his death would satisfy the
wretches.
How the boy prayed and looked for a
rescue by his companions , how his heart
sank as time went by and tlio human
wolves began to close in on him , how at
last he made up his mind that death
must come , and that he would face it
bravely , are things which make the heart
throb witn pity. The Indians dismounted
out of range , formed a three-quarter
circle about him. and then advanced on
foot , or rather wound themselves along
the ground. Unfortunately for the poor
boy the ground was broken and a part
of the Indians had cover to within easy
rillo range. Gay kept up a steady lire
with his AVinchestor , seriously wounding
two of them , but his fate was soon
scaled. He was hit in three places almost
at onceand there wore no further reports
from his rillo. A single report was heard
in an interval of tiring , but it came
from his revolver , and when a rush was
made ho was found ilead.with the weapon
tightly clutched in i Ida hand. The red
demons had shot him in the right foot ,
in the left shoulder , nnd in the left side ,
the latter wound being a mortal one.
The boy realized this : but knowing that
torture would bo added to the wounds to
increase his dying agonies , ho had put u
bullet into his bruins.
These facts came , from the lips of one
who helped encircle the boy , and ho
added , with great relish , others still more
horrible. The infuriated Indians pulled
off the scalp lock , cutcotF hands and feet
and so mutilated thu face that it could
not bo recognized. The wolves and the
buzzards were more merciful than the
savages. They spared the remains ,
wliicli were tounu and buried the next
duy.
