Over a Bank.
Sunday evening about 10:30 : o'clock , a hack
with u imlr of white horses wns driven south
OM Thirteenth street down thohlll from How
ard , at n rate of speed which attracted the at
tention of a Bir. : rejiortcr , and satisfied him
that the driver must have been drunk.
Three-quarters of an hour later the horses
wcro caught , free from the carriage and
without the driver , galloping north on the
Eleventh street viaduct. They were sent to
Stcphcnson's barn by the viaduct watchman.
It was not known where cither the driver or
the carriage was until yesterday morning the
latter wn.s found smashed to kindling wood
at the bnso of n bank
on the southeast corner of
Eleventh and Pierce streets. It was then
carried off to Meadlmbcr's. The hack was
the property of Miss Hattie Kncmeycr , who
also runs a restaurant on Iluruoy street in
the rear of Stcphenson's stable. The driver
was J. C. Pauley , known as "Kcddy" and ho
lies In a dangerous condition In room 3 In the
old city hall building , where ho was last
night attended by Ur. Galbraith. The out
come of his Injuries cannot now be deter
mined , but some weeks must elapse bcforo
ho will bu able to leave his room. The hack ,
after leaving the sight of the HKK rciwrter on
South Thirteenth street , was driven rapidly
to Kesslcr's hall for u load , where It was
noted that the driver was in
toxicated. Ho did not get
a load , however , and In some way rambled
off on Tenth street , when ho turned the
horses' heads west on Pacific. Ueforo they
reached Eleventh street the team loft the
street nnd entered the open lot of Gottlieb
Zimmerman , on the southwest corner of
Eleventh und Pacific. They ran south to the
alloy , where , from the abruptness of the
turn , it was apparent that they saw the next
step would carry them over a cut of fifteen
feet which had been made in the alley.n They
turned their heads toward the north , and ,
running obliquely , dashed over the
bank nnd were precipitated to
the street below. When they made
the leap they were still on Zimmerman's
pro ] > orty. The rest has been told , with the
exception that ono of the horses is badly cut ,
while the other Is comparatively uninjured.
If the driver had not been In a drunken
condition ho would never have allowed his
horses to leave Piicillu street font private lot.
especially as the graders , Htulit & Hamclhad
made an approach of easy descent to Eleventh
street , where the unfortunate accident would
have been avoided.

Ark C. Junks was arrested hi Fremont
Sunday by Deputy United States Marshal
Showaltor , charged with impersonating n
United States Marshal. Ho was brought to
this city yesterday , and , being arraigned
before Commissioner Anderson , pcudcd ) not
guilty , nnd was remanded to jail in default
of $2,500 bull until next Wednesday , when
tlio preliminary hearing will take place.
Jcnks , it seems , has been wearing a United
States badge and representing himself as an
officer. It is said that lie has made several
arrests and always released the parties for a
consideration. This was his game , and al
though ho has been made the surveillance of
the authorities ho was not arrested until
sufficient evidence had been accumlatcd to
convict him.
The witnesses in the case of the United
States against Johnson , the quasi United
States Marshal Johnson , who is charged with
perpetrating the "shake-down" on Parker ,
the man who held up United States Paymas
ter Hash , near Fort Fctturinan last March.
arrived from the northwest yesterday , and
the preliminary examination , which was be
gun lust Thursday , was continued in the af
ternoon. Johnson is defended by Park God

win.In
In his testimony Johnson asserted that at
the time he assisted Hugnull and Lucas in
the capture of Parker , ho supposed that the
two were United States officers , and lie
joined them against his will. The robbery of
Parker happened near Huscall's ranch.
about thirty-live miles from Whitman. The
night was dark nnd stormy , but the three de
cided to push forward with their prisoner
despite the unfavorable condition of the
weather. Parker was In the buggy witli
'Hagnall ' , while Lucas and Johnson rode on
.horseback . on either sldo , armed to the teeth.
As tlto party approached a narrow passage
way between two cliffs there were some mis
givings us to whether they had not lost the
itruil , and Johnson says ho was sent back
to .Investigate the mutter. Ho claims ho rode
buck about a quarter of a mile and on re
turning was Informed that Parker had dashed
off in the darkness and escaped. Whether
or not Htignnll and Lucas had robbed the
highwayman and then let him escape lie did
not know. If they had , ho did not get any
of the boodlo. There is a cypriun living in
Whitman , and whom Johnson calls his "best
girl , " who claims that Johnson gave her * iOO
to'holp him out of this scrape. Tills money ,
she asserts , was part of Johnson's share of.
the plunder taken from Parker.
After hearing the testimony In the case
Judge Anderson said that if Johnson hud
testified to the truth ho certainly had been
most undeservedly persecuted , but as the
Judge thought the matter would bear a llttlo
closer Investigation , and as the district court
is now in session , ho would bind him over in
the sum of (500.
Struck on the Grade.
Yesterday at noon the first hitch experienced
this season by Stuht & Haincl with their
men , who are working on the Immense con
tract of grading South Eleventh for a mile
beyond the viaduct , occurred. The con
tractors reduced the wages for teams
to 1 per day , having formerly paid those
which worked with the grading ma
chine SUH ) nnd those who worked
ut the trap and with shovclcrs 1
per day. The cause of the reduction Is the
fact that up to this time the teams have been
worked ten hours per day , while at present
they cannot work more than nine hours per
day. The contractors felt compelled to equalize -
izo the matter and make the reduction which
they think pays the teams for the work they
really do. Thorn are now thirty-live teams
at work at the new rates.

M. P. Savage , of Seventeenth and Fierce

silence. In the afternoon he again assaulted

away and fled. She informed the po
lice nnd Savage who IB well named
liy the way was run In. Yesterday ho
stood up defiantly before the court , but his
case was disposed of in double quick time.

In the Wrong lcw.
John McDonald and George Stooko went
to the house of J. 11. Morton , on Jackson
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth , at n
Into hour Sunday night and demanded admit
tance. They were intoxicated nnd threaten
ing , nnd Morton refused to open the door ,
when they proceeded to kick it iii.
The entrance gained nnd they quickly
discovered that they hud made u mis
take , that Morton's wasn't the house they
wcro looking for. But instead of offering to
make amends in the way of nn apology even ,
they told Morton if he didn't want his house
torn down he'd better take in his sipm , or
admit gentlemen when they culled. Morton
hud the marauders arrested yesterday and
they were each fined in the sum of fciO nnd
costs each.
Iiibrnry llctl Tnpo.
A man went into the publio library the
other evening to procure n book. His ticket
was missing nnd ho thought ho had lost it ,
nnd asked for a renewal. Ho was told it
could not bo renewed inside of thirty days.
"Why ! " "That is the rule. " "But why
such a ruloi" "Don't know. "
That sumo evening ho found the ticket nnd
tlto next morning presented it , but was told
ho would still have to wait thirty days.
"Why ! " Because his name had been en
tered among tlioso who had lost their tickets.
"But here Is the ticket. Why not erase the
entry ! " "No , that cannot be done. " "Why ? "
"Because it's niruliist the rule " "But why
the rule ! " . "Don't know. " Perhaps that
bears some relation to the machinery of the
circumlocution office.

Tho' Union nclflc Pant Train.
It hns been Mntcd from Umo to time
that the Union Pacific would jiosltlvely
put on n now fiwt' train between this
city nnd Ogilctv which would greatly
reduce the running time between these
two points , nnd that it would bo sched
uled on or about November 1. It was
learned from Mr..Potter's private sccro-
liiry , Mr. Orv < yesterday that the
fast train has bocn under contemplation
by the olllcors ofjtho road for some time ,
nnd that President Potter is in Snn
Francisco at the1 present time to com-
tileto nrrnngcmonts with the Canadian
Pacific otllcinls nml arrange the sched
ule. Mr. Orr also stated that at present
the Union Paclllc lacked equipment for
the immediate currying out of the proj
ect , and that it would bo absolutely im
possible to begin running on the 1st of
November. Now coaches have been or
dered , and there is no doubt that the
fast train will bo put on ns soon ns pos
sible ) . In his opinion this would not bo
until next spring. The Union Pacific
realize the necessity for thisextra train ,
nnd nro fully determined to have it.
Rorn In a Pullman Sleeper.
Quito an interesting event , especially
to the lady passengers on the overland

fore 10 o'clock Sunday night the passen
gers on board the Pullman sleeper Ormus
were aroused by groans proceeding from

cause. Several ladies who had already
retired nroso and went to the berth ,
which was occupied by a handsome
young lady , who gave her name ns Mrs.
J. ( J. Stlllwoll , of Bloomington , 111. The
ladies nt once discovered that Mrs.
Stillwell wns about to become a mother ,
and the porter was despatched through
the train in quest of a physician. For
tunately Dr. Marston , of LeadvilloCol. ,
was on board and gave the lady his at-
entions. At 2 o'clock in the morning
Mrs. Stillwoll was delivered of a fine
male child. Her lady companions ren
dered every possible assistance , and Mr.
Baby was the recipient of such atten
tion as only the fair sex know how to
givo. The lady's trunk was opened nnd
a largo amount of fine baby linen was
found. At Columbus Mrs. Stillwell was
removed to a hotel and her husband

John Barter was robbed of f(0 ( in Mary
Brown's brothel Sunday night. Yesterday
ho induced the woman to give up nil but $10
of the money , then ho had her arrested.
When she was arraigned , however , ho re
fused to testify ntrainst her , and she was
discharged. The judge informed Barter ,
however , that lie was inclined to have
complaint made out against him , but finally
relented , and Barter vanished.
