H
An Exciting Scene.
In a lot tor from Hannibal, Mo., Jacob S.
Funk, n fbrmor resident of Duck county,
tails the following :
Uu the evening of the 4tli day of March,
I was Heated in- car of a south-bound
train of the Missouri, Kansas ncd Texas
Railway, full ef men, women and children
(join mostly to 1 exits, with nothing par
ticular to attract our attention, everybody
oppareutly busy with his own thought,
utterly unconscious of any Impending
danger or little dreaming of the terrible
tragody so soon to follow. Just as the
train was approaching Chotopa, a small
town in southeastern Kansas, near tbe
Hoe of the Iudlau Territory, a young
desperado from Kentucky, also a passen
ger, arose in bis seat, flourished a revolver,
nod with unerring aim fired Ave shots
Among tbe terror-stricken passengers.
The first two shots struck an eld gray-haired
man, several seats in front of me, iu
tbe bead, killing bim almost instantly.
Tbe third shot dangerously weuuded a
young man from Illinois, while the fourth
aud fifth shots slightly wounded two other
young men. A scene of the most intense
excitement and indescribable confusion
followed. Many of the passeagera drop
ped behind tbe seats ; others tried to jump
from the train; one mau of huge dimen
sions vainly endeavored to get out through
the window j children were crying, women
soreaming, and men at intervals yelling,
howling and cursing; the horror of tbe
situation being increased by the lights
going out from tbe concussion of the shots
leaving us in almost total darkness. A
lantern was immediately brought in by
some one, and from its dim light, amid
the wails of anguish from the wounded
and tbe groans of tbe dying, tbe tall form
of the murderer was observed, coolly en
deavoring to reload bis revolver as if not
'yet satisfied with bis bloody work, but
apparently preparing to resume it.
This brought most of us to a realizing
sense of our danger. It was evident that
inntant and imperative action was iiecessaj
ry on Hi part of the passengers, in order to
avert further danger A few dreadful
momeuts of suspense tbey seemed like
ages aud a simultaneous rajpb. was made
for tbe villain. Before be bad time to
reload bis pistol it was jerked out of bis
band, although resisting with tbe despera
tion of a iien.d He was overpowered
taken out of tbe car, bound band and
foot, and banded over to the officers of the
law. The dead and wounded were remov
ed from the car and kindly cared for by
tbe citizens of the town.
The murdered man lived in tbe Indian
Territory. He was a poor man having
been to Illinois for work, aud was on his
way borne. Several small trinkets were
found on his person, intended for presents
for bis little children. The murderer was
quite a young man, reared on a farm in
Kentucky, and ou his way to Texas. As
be was neither drunk nor crazy, the only
reasonable motive he could have bad in
committing the terrible deed was the de
sire for notoriety.
USTThe Western papers are full of ac
counts of the rise of the Missouri, which
bas been swelled beyond all bounds by rain
and melting snows, and has been literally
carrying everything before it. Fort Pierre,
Dakotab, tbe present terminus of the
Chicago and Northwestern, lias not only
been flooded but raked and scraped by
high masses of floating ice, leaviug it in
some parts as if a rapidly moving glacier
had passed over it. Ou the 27th ult., the
river presented a grand spectacle of power
and terror as it reeled along, biiuging up
on its troubled bosom enormous blocks of
ice, some lying Hat and others on the edge
in the stream, and all groaning and crunch
ing aud roaring in a terrible manner. At
about 7. SO o'clock that morning, as many
-were standing ou the bank of the river
looking at the monster struggling along,
"there came suddenly a perceptible check to
the motion, and simultaneously to that a
sudden rise of the water, amounting to as
much as four feet in ten miuutos. Then
there was a wild rush to and fro in the
streets of Fort Pierro with loud calls for
help. Teams were in great demand;
household goods were hastily thrown into
passing vehicles, and all in tbe town were
soon in motion toward the bluffc. Many
were to be seen on foot with bundles on
their backs, and at the heels of all rolled a
thin liae of dirty water. It came up to
-and passed many making their hurried re
treat, but soon came a surge and it left
water three feet deep where before only a
'few Inobes bad showu itself. By 3 P. M.,
the houses in Fort Pierre were being
iustled about, crushed or turned over, and
the people were putting up tents and mak
ing all kinds of camps upon the clay hills,
, while their property and comfortable homes
were beiug destroyed in tbe struggle be
tween the water aud the floating ice. As
the darkness came on tbe fear on all sides
was augmented. At about 0 o'clock P. M.
a sudden gush sent the great thick ios
chunks over tbe banks and tbey came roll
ing down among tbe buildings like great
sledge hammers, and when one would
strike a bouse there would be ft crash and
roar which led one to believe that the
town was being torn to pieces. Many who
- lmil bad tbe temerity to remain In tbe sec
THE TIMES, NEW
ond stories over night began to ring bell J
and (Ire guns, and with loud calls attraoted
attention and sought help to gain the,
friendly bluffs. Boon after this tbe waters
began to fall, and for sometime the river
set up a roar, whloli was song of glad
ness to all, for they knew tbe gorge bad
broken.
Three Thousand Lives Lost.
Constantinople, April 4. A strong
shock or earthquake at Ohio, In an island
of that name, yesterday destroyed many
