The horse became unmanageable and ran away, throwing Mrs. Geis out with considerable force. She escaped with slight injuries. A "schooner" was driven southward on Santa Fe today, on the wagon cover of which was inscribed the suggestive words of "Frank Grene, Klondike, or bust." He doubtless thought he would take in Lindsborg on the route. Capt.

One of the saddest occurrences of the year was the sudden death of Alfred Stegmeyer, eon of the well-known farmer living near Crystal Springs, which occurred yesterday afternoon. The facts of the lamentable off air are about as follows: A brother of Alfred is building a house, and Alfred drove to the cemetery sand beds for a load of sand for the plastering, yesterday afternoon.

He borrowed a shovel of Mr. Tobias between 4 and 5 o'clock and that was the last seen of him until his corpse was brought back to the Upshaw undertak ing establishment, this morning. The body was discovered by accident. One of Sexton Hobson's sons went over near to the sand pit to get a scraper and saw the horses entangled by the harness in a bunch of young trees which are near the pit. The horses had evidently been there some time as they had eaten the bark on the trees.

Noticing the wagon box lying on the ground near the en trance to the pit and seeing no evidence of an owner he descended into the pit and noticed that one of the holes from which the sand is taken had disappeared, the horrible suspicion of a man buried under the mass of sand entered his mind. He hurried to the house for aid, summoned Sam Jones, and while two of them dug for the body, another hurried to the city, got more help, the coroner being notified. After digging about three feet the head of the deatl man was exposed to view. He was in a sitting posture with bis hands held before his face as if to ward off a blow. Excepting from severe scalp wound there were no signs of blood, but from the immense clods of sand which were found on top of the body, it seems cer tain that he was killed instantly.

Several clods three feet in diameter lay above the body. It is supposed that when the sand fell the horses were frightened and following the road tmt of the pit, the wagon box with a little sand in it, was thrown off at the turn and the horses ran into the orchard where they were entangled in the trees. These sand-traps, as they are called, are extremely dangerous. There is about eight feet of waste, clayey earth above the good sand and in order to get at it they tunnel under the waste, which being a Ioobo flimsy earth is very apt to fall. The coroner's inquest was held this afternoon at Upshaw's undertaking establishment, before a jury composed of C.

L. Ong, H. S. Benjamin, J. C.

Dana, J. C. Granger, John Stockenberg and J. T. Hay ward.

The following witnesses were examined: Sam Jones, Carl Hobson, Tom Anderson, J. C. Saunders and R. J. Williams.

No one saw the accident and the testimony only corroborated the above. Coroner Swit-zer stated during the inquest that the condition of the body indicated no foul play, and such bruises as were received would only attend such an accident. The jury returned a verdict shortly after 3 o'clock that the man came to his death by the caving in of a. bank of earth while procuring eand in the Weaver pit, some time during November 10 John Grant was arrainged in Justice Tuttle's court this afternoon for the first charge of assault and battery on C. B.

Sherlock. The accused plead guilty and then withdrew his plea and plead, not guilty. B. F. Loitt was council for the defendant.

The court found the defendant guilty, and fined him $2 and. costs, $15.20 in all. The trial for the second charge of assault and battery on C. B. Sherlock is set for 1:30 tomorrow.

Frank Williams, Elmer Singleton and Wil. Young were arrested yesterday about four o'clock, the two former for vagrancy and the latter for aasault and battery on the person of Chas. Davis. Their trial will occur at nine o'clock tomorrow in the police court. Williams and Singleton come from Argentine.

W. J. Hughes Will Engage In Wholesaling- Confectionery, Nuts, Fruits, Cigars and Tobaccos. It is with great pleasure that the Republican-Journal announces that Mr. W.

J. Uughes, so long connected with the H. D. Lee -Mercantile Company, has concluded to embark in the business of exclusively wholesaling confectionery, nuts, fruits, tobaccos in'Iall forms, and cigars. Mr.

Hughes did as much as any person probably connected with the Lee establishment to popularize that business in the western part of the state, and was one of the first men on the ground when it opened up. He is a trade-getter, a popular charming gentleman. With his experience in the wholesale business and familiarity with the needs of the west half of Kansas, hi9 enterprise must be a success from the start. He will employ, to start with, two efficient salesmen. He has two or three buildings' in view for his location, but cannot tell definitely which one he will finally select.

It is his purpose to have the establishment opened up at the very earliest moment. He believes there is a large field tributary to Salina for such a trade, and in this opinion he is sustained by a very large number of the wise and far-seeing business men of this part of the state. Much success to you, Mr. Hughes, you deserve it. John Grant Scraps At His Old Tricks.

Pugilist John Grant and C. B. Sherlock quarreled this morning, which re suited in the resort by the former to his usual method of argument and the swearing out of a warrant by the latter. The story leading up to this little quarrel is long and complicated. These two gentlemen are the tenants of the same building.

Mr. Sherlock is the proprietor of the Salina Music store, and has his store and sleeping rooms on the first floor. Mr. Grant runs a liquor shop on the 6econd floor. Mr.

Sherlock complained that the liquor shop was not closed at night at 11 o'clock, the time specified by agreement and that too much noise at a late hour disturbed their slumbers. Mr. Grant offered and twice paid Sherlock $4 that he might room somewhere else, but Sherlock was not satisfied and so demanded more, which demand precipitated angry words from the jointist, which were followed with blows that prostrated Mr. Sherlock. The latter did not hit back but proceeded to have a warrant sworn out against Mr.

Grant. Constable Bishop went after his man and while taking him to Justice Tuttle's court, they met Sherlock, the sight of whom so angered Grant that he struck the former. Again in the court he struck Sherlock and would have "tangled" himself up with the latter gentleman had not the justice interfered. Grant's trial was held this afternoon in Justice Tuttle's court. A Special Piano and Organ Sale.

William Philpott and C. E. Flowers, special representatives of the Hallet Davis Company, Pianos and Organs, Chicago, are temporarily located in Salina at the National hotel. They expect to do a great deal of business in this county. They will have music rooms in National Hotel Block, and have a lady in charge of them.

They are very nice appearing gentlemen, and have a business air about them, which means "we are going to supply pianoless and organ-less people of Salina and Saline county." You will hear much of them in the next ten days or two weeks. The Play Last Night. The show last night played a little better than usual. The parts seemed to suit the players better.
