Young Barnett hitched a young horse to a farm wagon with an old one, to break the colt. It became unrully, the boy lost control of the team and (he horses ran away. Barnett was thrown under the wagon wheel and his neok was instantly broken. Briscoe's leg was caught in the wheel and badly broken. Edward Wilton and George Potts, superintendent and bank boss of the Harrison mine, at Clay City, have been arrested for the murder of Robert McCluckey. A short' time ago Potts shot and killed McOluokey, and the killing was deoided at Pott's preliminary trial to have been in self-defense. There was dissatisfaction among McOluokey's friends, and a subscription paper was started to obtain funds to pursue the case further. Two confidence and three-card-monte men -came near making a rioh haul at LaForte the other day, the vic tim being an octogenarian named Jacob Stoner, and worth a quarter of a million dollars. He went so far as to go to bis banker for $0,000, but the cashier was suspicious, and after questioning the old man learned the whole plot, btoner thereupon saw what a sucker he had been and informed the. Sheriff. The sharpers fled, with the officers in hot pursuit, Henry Heckelman, a brakeman on the Lake Shore road, fell between tbe cars of his train, near Burdick, and was run over and instantly killed. He leaves a wife and ohildren at Elkhart, their borne. At tbe time be was killed be had a railroad torpedo in bis pocket which, was exploded by the weight of the oar wheels as they passed over his body. Hearing the explosion and afterwards finding the body, tbe train men thought Heckelman had been shot and murdered by tramps, and knew no better nntil they found the shell ot the torpedo. Henry Weinderlioh, a lad of 8-years, died at South Bend, nnder peculiar circumstances. He had been a sufferer from that Tare disease commonly called thinness of tbe blood-vessels. The slightest blow upon the boy's nose would cause the blood to flow, which with great difficulty could be stopped. If the blood was stepped at one plaoo it would flow from the ears, month and' other parts of the body. He slightly out his obeek with tbe tip of an umbrella the other day. The flow of blood from the wound was continuous, baffling the attempts of the doctors to stop it, and resulting in his bleeding to death. A sorious accident occurred about three miles northwest of New Corner, at tbe saw-mill owned and rnu by Benjamin Welsh. Welsh's two boys and a Mr. Lee had been left to run the mill while Mr. Welch went to Farmland. From some cause, at present unknown, tbe engiue leaped about eighty feet, bursting the crown sheet and otherwise crippling the machinery, while tbe two boys were br ooked senseless with little hope Of reoovery. Tom, the older boy,' who was running the engine, was badly bruised and blackened up, and has since died. The younger boy was cut up severely and hurt internally. The doctors unitu in having no hopes of bis rooovory. "Vr. Lee was uninjured.
