JUMPS FROM A RUNAWAY RIG Breaks Both Bone of One of His Legs Near the Ankle and the Ankle Is Also Dislocated The Mishap Occurs Just East of City While Team Is Enroate Home.

While returning from this city to Mt. Gllead Saturday evening the High School ball team of that ctty had an exciting runaway. When about three-quarters of a mile east ot the city one of the single trees of their wagon broke, frightening the team, which immediately started to run. Clyde Kreis, oue of the members of the team, attempted to Jump from the rig, and In so doing struck the ground in such a shape as to fracture both bones of hihs left leg near the ankle. The ankle was also dislocated.

He was brought back to this city, and taken to the Rhu hospital on south Prospect street, where the injuries were given surgical attention, and where he is still confined to a bed. The other members of the team were compelled to go on home, leavlug him here. Kreis will probably have to remain here at least a week, possibly longer, and it will be several weeks before he can walk with the aid of crutches. Mr. and Mrs.

John Kreis of Cardlng-ton, parents of the injured boy, were here Sunday to visit him at the hospital. RESULT OF TEASING IN A SUNDAY SCHOOL New York, May 6. At Sunday-school the boys called six-year-old Thomas O'Neill "tatters" because his clothes were old and ragged. Yesterday the boy told his parents ot this, but they Insisted that he go to Sunday-school anyhow, and said that clothes not count for much in this world. Tbey were too poor to buy a bettter suit.

The boy was not brave enough to stand the comments ot his companions, however, so he went down to the East river and sat for a long time on the deck of a deserted barge. Later a boy in the vicinity heard a splash. He looked about for O'Neill, but failed to find him. The police believe that the boy drowned himuelf. HIGHWAYMEN HOLD UP si- A DAYTON SALOONIST Dayton, May 6.

A hold-up of an unusual character ushered In the Sabbath at Valentine Young's saloon yes terday morning. The proprietor was preparing to close up when two high waymen, armed witn revolvers in eacn hand, entered. A number of bystand ers were lined up along the bar to en-Joy the farewell drink ot the night when the robbers opened fire. Young's trousers bear a bullet hole, and shots were exchanged in Buch rapid succes sion it was feared for a time that many had been wounded. A general fight followed, and customers battled with the Intruders, knocking them down with chairs.

In the excitement, the cash drawer was robbed. MISSING BOY. Cincinnati, May 6. While suffering with scarlet fever, Telmon Bhumake aged thirteen, arose from bed, dressed bimself and left his home. This happened last Thursday night and nothing has been beard of him since.

Added to the mystery as what has become of the boy, is the danger of his spreading the disease all over the city. The case was reported to the police Sunday and every effort will be made to find the missing lad. A PERFECT JKWKT.BT STORK. Come See the 400 day clock, it's a beautiful piece of work. M.

Nelson Sons. Jewelen and Opticians, Marion, heard such noises as came from the elephant house after the tragedy. The five elephants moaned most piteously. My theory is that they realized that something awful had happened and they felt they were all to be punished. At the time Mr.

Wallace was in Indian apolis, and his private secretary, C. E. Cory, took matters in hand. He Immediately telephoned out to the farm to kill big Charlie, if possible; that he had on the way three apples pois oned with strychnine. When the ap ples arrived one was tossed to the elephant He ate it and the second one be tossed away.

The third one he paid no attention to. In about twenty minutes he seemed to be in great agony. and by that time men bad arrived with their forty-four calibre rifles loaded with steel bullets. Joe Llechtel of Peru had been sent for, and when he arrived he began shooting. He fired from behind a tree, a distance of about 150 feet.

In the neighborhood of twenty shots. They ail struck the elephant, and all but one failed to penetrate his hide. One pierced the hide back of the ear, and it is believed this bullet stunned him. As soon as this bullet hit him he laid down. He lay there for perhaps five minutes quiver ing.

The marksman, thinking he was down and out, started from behind the tree. As he did so the elephant arose to his feet and began stagger ing about as if he were intoxicated. He went through two fences as if they were mosquito bars. He went perhaps half a mile and then laid down. He was dead within ten minutes.

After his death his tongue was found to be swollen and black, which indicated that the strychnine had caused the death, rather than the bullet. "In my mind the killing of Huffman was a deliberate murder. It was so deliberate that it might have been planned by human cunning. Huff man was in very delicate health, and it was believed that he was a consumptive. It is a well known fact among men familiar with wild animals that they shun persons who are diseased.

This fact very likely caused the elephant to take a dislike to Huffman. Mr. Ferris, himself, is now in charge of the herd. The other animals are perfectly tractable, and no further trouble is anticipated." THE PARADE Is the Best Ever Seen In the Cliy. The Afternoon Performance.

The parade at 10 o'clock this morn ing was viewed by thousands, and it is the almost unanimous verdict of Ma-rionitcs that It was the finest circus parade which has ever been given In the city. From the knights In armor to the calliope everything was new and clean. The chariots and dens are not as fancy S3 some, which have been hauled over the streets of Marion, but the horse-fesh was so far beyond the average. the riders so much better caparisoned, the open cages so many and the speci mens ot fierce animal and reptile life bhown such superb ones that It must be conceded that it was a record-breaker, not considering its great length. Like the parade, this afternoon's per formance was high class in every respect and greatly pleased the thousands in attendance.

NEW DIRECTORY Polk Jt Co. Hc gln On a New Directory for Marlon. The representatives of R. L. Polk 6 Company, Marlon directory publishers, arrived this morning and are engaged in taking the new Information for the 1901 directory.

This firm has published the city directory for the past ten years, the book delivered in 1899 was satisfactory la every respect, and Marion people may continue to expect good work from this same source. Marion has reached that stage where a good direct ory is very essential. POOR UMPIRE. Memphis', May 6. Umpire Al Mauck narrowly escaped mob violence Sunday at the hands of 3,000 Infuriated spectators during the local opening of the Southern league season.

A decision in the last inning which caused Little Rock to score the winning runs, necessitated a cordon of policemen surrounding the umpire after the game was called and despite this protection Mauck was hit over the head with sticks and cushions. CRICKET COACH. Englishmen Comment on American Food. The English coach of the German- town, Cricket club had an experi ence with food worth knowing. He says: "When 1 eame to this country 1 was engaged as professional coach.

I had Buffered a long time from constipation and pains in the lower part of the back, and after bowling and coaching for about an hour, the pains would be so severe they would nearly draw me to the ground. "I tried many remedies without success. Finally I went on Orapc-Nuta Kood. using it for breakfast in place of oatmeal. Within three flays I began to feel better.

1 have kept it up reg ularly and now feel like a new man. "I can go on and bowl for hours without a pain. Bowels are sh regular as a clock and my head is clear and steady. "I advise Its use with all our play ers. J.

Caesar, Pro. Coach." No food on earth will put a man in fit condition as surely and quickly as Grape-Nuts. There's a reason. The Great Wallace Circus and Menag erie Arrives from Findlay Early Sunday Morning. SHOW GROUND IS MECCA SUNDAY or Thousands of Citizen' Press Agent Hardy Tolls of the Killing of Trainer Huffman The Parade la a Truly Clever Feature.

The Performance This Afternoon. The showground was the Mecca of all Marion Sunday. Young and old alike, regardless of sex, paid their respects to the tented exhibition. No performance was attempted, of course, but the crowd was present, just the same, and appeared to enjoy the exterior view of the mammoth tents and a visit to the horse and cooking apartments. The Wallace show train pulled the city over the Erie about 6 o'clock in the morning from Findlay, and at once began the work of unloading.

This interesting sight was watched ly the accustomed crowd, which followed the great trucks, vans and chariots to the show grounds on the Aronhalt lot, to watch the raising of the tents. These were up In the early morning, and tlu work of giving the weekly polish to animals, wagons, harness, and in fact, everything, was begun. Unlike the attaches of many shows, those of the Wallace aggregation are most courteous and obliging, and throughout the day die all in their power to make the visits of the sightseers pleasant and entertaining. Scores of camera fiends invaded the scene from early morning until late in the afternoon, and in many -Instances the menagerie employes removed the side coverings from the cages that snap shots might be taken of the animals. In one instance, at least, a local fiend secured a fine photo of the hippopotamus, the keeper causing lOto open its mouth while the exposure was made.

Pictures of the Wallace animals are highly prized as their specimens are among the finest in scaptivity. The Wallace show has sought and obtained quality in its menagerie as well as in its circus. PRESS AGENT HARRY Tell the Story of the Killing of Elephant Trainer Huffman. The Star called on Press Agent Harry Hardy this morning and asked for the details of the killing of Henry Huffman, the elephant trainer, by the big elephant, Charlie, notice of which has already been given through the Star's wire service. The affable press man all press men are, affable at once told the story of the Hoosier tragedy as follows: 'In the morning after the feeding of the elephants, while the the helpers were cleaning up, Charlie was backing to and fro.

One of the helpers by the name of Charlie Mortiz got closer to Charlie than usual. The elephant swung around, struck Mortiz with his trunk and knocked him at least twenty feet. Mr. Henry Huffman, the trainer, was outside the building when they told him about the assault on Mortiz. Huffman came in and instead of chastising the elephant, only looked him.

My theory is that this was the one cause of the murder of Huff man later in the day, because the ele phant, feeling as if he was master of the situation, thought, It Indeed the brute could tblnn, 'I am master here At 1:30 In the afternoon Huffman called his assistants to take the herd of elephants to the Mississinewa river for water, as the regular supply had given out at the elephant house Charlie was always the leader of the herd, and he was taken out first, the others following to the river. As soon as the big elephant, Charlie, had finished drinking, he turned and came up on the bank. He grabbed Huffman around the body with his trunk, as he always did in their act in the ring. Huffman thought the elephant was playing with him. Almost Instantly Huffman was thrown fully fifty feet, alighting in a small bush.

The elephant immediately started up the bank. Huff man was In delicate health and this together with his treatment by the ele phant, greatly weakened him. But he managed to call out, 'Charlie, do you want to kill me? Why do you treat me like this? Come back; I won't hurt you." The elephant halted, turned, came back and grabbed him as before. Huffman, thinking that everything was all right, allowed htm to place his trunk about his body as be always did In their act The elephant instantly turned and went for the river. Plunging into the river, the elephant, still holding Huffman, pushed him under the water and held him there till he was drowned.

Lifting the lifeless keeper out of the water, the elephant looked at him to see whether be was alive or dead. Apparently satisfied with his work, the brute then threw his dead keeper Into mid-stream. He turned and came out of the water, stood for a few minutes on the bank, then turning up the stream about one hundred feet he went back Into the water and took his bath as playfully as a kitten. He then waded out and proceeded leisurely to the farm where the show is kept "Quick as big Charlie threw Huff man in the bushes the helpers took the rest of their herd to the elephant house. Aside from big Charlie there were five In the herd, and they arc all females.

Mr. Theo. Ferris, In charge of the animals of the show, told me Why people from north, south and east pass by a half a dozen stores, to buy their Wall Paper here. When you see our immense line and prices the reaton will be plain Sore is a to you. too.

Hugh 0. Pente cost preached yesterday on "The gos pel according to Rockefeller" to the Unity Congregation in Mott Memorial Hall. He compared the theory that the capitalist was God's steward to the discarded doctrine of master and slave, and ridiculed the idea that the capital ist was "giving" when he was employing men. "John D. Rockefeller gave a talk last Monday evening to his son's bible class at the Fifth Avenue Baptist church," he said.

"Young Rockefeller gets millionaires to talk to this class occasionally. It seems odd that Dives should teach the disciples of Jesus. 'John D. Rockefeller's talk was on the gospel of giving. He used to hold people up; now he gives us on the condition that others give.

I want to say right here that these millionaires eive nothing. The widow's mite Is more. "I think the rulers and the rich are as Ignorant as the rest. President Mc KInley and John D. Rockefeller are sincere and ignorant, and the time will come when this doctrine of God's stew ards will be as foolish as the master and slave doctrine now is.

May we live to see it." MURDER. Louisville. May 6. Charles Washington, a nineteen-year-old boy, killed Irwin Melayor, aged sixteen years, yesterday, by hitting him In the htad with a baseball hat. Both are in mates of the Louisville school of reform.

The boys were getting ready to no to Sunday-school when Washington quarreled with Melayor for using his coffee cup at breakfast. The boys were roommates and while the younger was trying on a pair of trousers, Washing ton stepped up behind him and mashed his skull. Japan I Cp to Data.
