Out on the Fly.
Barton M , Mills , n traveling salesman In
the employ of Johnson Reeves & Co. , of
Lynn , Mass. , met with n peculiar and pain
ful accident yesterday at the 13. ft M.
depot. Mr. Mills alighted from a carriage at
tlio cntranco nnd proceeded to walk around ,
the depot to KO to the baggage room. Just ns
lie reached the southwest corner something
utruck him fairly In the eye. The shock
knocked him down nnd the strange thing
nbout It Is that the cause of his mishap was
nn English sparrow. The bill of the bird
penetrated the eyeball and the unfortunate
man will lose the eye. Only ono bystander
can give anything like an explana
tion of this curious accident. Ho
stated that ho noticed two sparrows
fighting on the north side of the depot. Fin-
nfiy ono of them managed to get nway , and
turned to the northwest corner , pursued by
its enemy. The bird that struck Mr. Mills
was picked up dead , and ono of Its eyes was
closed , BO it Is evident that It did not see the
gentleman , as ho was close to the wall.
Mr. Mills was carried Into an adjacent
drug store nnd a physician wns Summoned.
The doctor advised his removal to a hotel ,
nnd Mr. Mills was taken , by his own re
quest , to a friend's house on South Niuteenth
street. _
MYSTEU10U S DISAPPEARANCE.
It. I ; . Bnoilgrnss ami J. B. Torbcrt
Missing.
R. L. Snodgrass has been missing since
Monday evening , and his family , who rcsldo
nt503 South Thirteenth street , arc almost
crazed with anxiety and alarm. Ho loft his
office on Fifteenth street nt 0 o'clock Monday
evening for his homo , and since that time
nothing has been seen or heard of him. His
friends can offer no theory ns to the possible
cause of his absence.
Another family , that of J. B. Torbert , re
siding on South Twelfth street , nro similarly
afflicted , Mr. Torbcrt nlso having mysterious
ly disappeared. Ho has nn estimable family
nnd for some time since they hove been seri
ously apprehensive that ho was not exactly
right mentally. His actions wcro strange
nnd unnatural , nnd ho has on several occa
sions threatened to end his earthly trials by
throwing himself Into the river. So alarmed
were his folks nt thcso declarations , and
feeling that ho meant what ho said ,
ho was kept confined in his room for several
days and n constant guard kept over him.
However , ho seemed to have grown better
during the latter part of last week , nnd no
hindrance was offered his movements. Sun
day night ho loft the house with the remark
that he would return shortlybut nothing has
been heard of him since. His family think
thnt ho has carried out his rash designs , and
thrown himself into the river. A thorough
search of the river's ' shore failed to turn up
any clue to this effect , yet they nro firm in
the belief that ho has thus made way with
himself. Torbert is a taxidermist , and for
k years wni an attahcho of the Smithsonian
g ? : Institute at Washington.

Mammoth Potatoes ,
Mr , George Vf , Lower , a salesman for H.
Iloscnthal , of this city , has a farm tn Jl'olt
fount y , Nebraska , eight and one-half miles
north of Ewlbp. YestcrdAy Mr. Lower
brought to the BER offlco two mammoth Irish
potatoes as samples of the excellence of that
section for vegetable growing. One of thcso
Wftaof the Snowflake variety , nnd weighs
two pounds and five ounces ; the second Is of
the Pearl order , weighing ono nnd three-
quarter pounds. The specimen of the Snow-
finko Is perhaps of unusual size , but that of
the Pearl , weighing ono and three-quarter
poundi , Mr. Lower says , is n fair sample of
potatoes grown on all the farms in that sec
tion of the country. In the past season the
Lower farm produced fifty bushels of pota
toes of the Pearl variety , not ono of which
would weigh more than nn ounce under ono
nnd three-quarter pounds , The same soil
which produced thcso splendid specimen1)
will grow cabbage heads , from the seed ,
weighing twenty to twenty-five pounds each ,
and all other vegetables in proportion. The
country in the vicinity of Ewlng Is fast set
tling up. nnd many people nro realizing
the excellence of the soil. Where such splen
did products are grown it would bo supposed
that there would bo conveniences for reach
ing the markets. Unfortunately for the
farmers In that Hcctlontho only railroad with
in tholr reach has placed freight rates to such
n figure that the producer cannotnfford to pay
thcso rates for the privilege of sending his
products to the market. As n consequence
the many bushels of potatoes of excellent
quality raised in that section were sold nt the
low price of fifty cents per bushel , when had
the producer been accorded n fair freight rate
to Omaha , ho could have easily received $1
per bushel for his product. The citizens of
Holt county are living in hopes that ere long
a railroad will bo operated through their
section which will accord to the farmer nn
opportunity to market the results of his toll ,
nnd open up the advantages of that section ,
Wlhli THERE HE MOHE AVAK ?
The Question of Pro-rating to Eastern
Points.
A dispatch was received In Omaha yesterday
to the effect that the oQlclals of the See road
had given notice that , owln to the position
taken by the Burlington & Northern it
would bo impossible to restore rates
on March 20 as agreed. The Burlington &
Northern has given notice of nn ndvanco but
has bacn attempting to secure an arrange
ment with the eastern roads to prorate
through business between St. Paul and tno
seaboard nUM ) per cent of the rate between
Chicago nnd the seaboard. Nothing definite
in tills matter has been dona yet , and the
"Soo" certainly cannot make higher through
rates than the Burlington & Northern , its no
tice to restore rates had to bo abrogated. It is
believed that this will practically nullify the
agreement which the granger roads recently
made to restore rates. The "Soo" and the
Burlington & Northern have announced their
intentions not to ndvanco rates , anil it is bo-
Ibvcd that the other northwestern roads will
ignore them. To do this would bo to surren
der all thclhrough business business between
the seaboard and St. Paul , und it is not
thoughtthoy will care to make such a great
sacrifice. This is considered by railroad
men as another break , and will practically
have to bo fought out by the rival
roads which may again precipitate the cut
from which some of the lines nro now so de
sirous of escaping. The Burlington & North
ern is a "Q" roart and runs Into St.
Paul territory. When it makes a cut
the St. Paul road meets it by n
cut Into "Q" territory. It is this well defined
policy between thcso two roads that led to
the recent cutting. If the prorating above re
ferred to Is carried by the Burling
ton & Northern , the St. Paul will
inaugurate the same rates between
Omaha and Chicago. Fred Jash , the gen
eral agent of the latter road , was scon yester
day , while not speaking because of olll-
cial action having been taken on the subject ,
declared that his road would act in tbo emer
gency as above indicated.

JOHN WOOD'S OASB.
The case of the city ngninst John "Wood ,
charged with selling liquor on Sunday , was
called yesterday aftcnloon. The prosecution
grows out of the discovery alleged to have
been made by Captain Duff Green , that the
defendant In his saloon ono night treated n
friend to a glass of beer after 1" o'clock.
The charge of violating the 13 o'clock ordl-
dancc was changed to selling liquor on Sun
day. A largo crowd of spectators was prcs >
cnt and the utmost interest was manifested
in the proceedings. The city was , represen
ted by Assistant City Attorney Smith , while
Mr. A. S. Kitchlo looked after the interests
of the defendant. Judge GrofE refused to
allow defendant's attorney to ask the
question of Jurors ns to whether
or not they held prohibition opinions ,
and whether , if such opinions if hold
by them , would Influence their decision.
It took nearly nn hour to select the jury nnd
Mr. Smith read the information to the Jury
nnd as the first witness culled , Captain Duff
Green. Ho testified that on Sunday morning ,
the 12tli-of March , about 1 and 2 o'clock ho
received information that a crowd of men
were in Mr. Wood's place. Ho went there and
saw ono man at the bar with a glass in front
of him and half the contents were drank.
Witness then took the glass and drank part
of it. It was beer. In the wine room ho saw
three men , with glasses nnd decanters on the
table in front of them. Witness said to Mr.
Wood , "John , I'll have to report you. " Mr.
Wood replied , "You'll do wrong If you do. "
Ofilcer Horrigan was the next witness. Ho
testified thnt ho was with Captain Green nnd
corroborated his superior's evidence.
Officer Clarke was next called. Ho could
see by a reflection In the ceiling mirror two
men standing nt the bar at 1 o'clock. Ho
also saw the bartender take something from
the bar counter , go to the cash register , nnd
then put something back on the bar. Wit
ness on cross-examination admitted thnt ho
saw no liquor sold nor any money change
hands. The state then rested its case.
The defense called Mj. Wood as-first wit
ness. Ho testified that he closed his house at
12 o'clock , and that ho did not sell or give
away any drinks after that hour. If any was
given away it was done by a barterder with
out his sanction or authority. The only two
persons admitted after midnight were Cap
tain Green nnd Detective Horrigan.
This closed the testimony and the argu
ments of counsel began. Both attorneys
based their talk entirely upon the technical
points of law. Mr. Ritchie made a strong
argument for his client. He denounced in
unmeasured terms what ho termed the under
handed trick by .which Green nnd Horrigan
succeeded In gaining cntranco to Air. Wood's
place.
The Jury went out at five minutes past 4
o'clock , and as they were still in deliberation
when the court adjourned they were ordered
to hand in a scaled verdict.
