Alarming Mortality at Fall River Fall River, MA. July 26. The death rate of the city has increased alarmingly during the past seven weeks, principally among children whose parents belong to the poorer classes. Eighty-eight cases of cholera infantum have resulted fatally since June 1, none of the victims being over a year old. The greatest mortality has occurred in Ward Six, where the sewerage system is not perfect. The Board of Health does not attribute the spread of mortality to this cause, however, but to neglect in care and the crowded condition in tenement houses. Nearly twice as many deaths have taken place among the French as among any other nationality. Two Innocent Men Shot Cheyenne,WY. July 26. Yesterday morning Wallace LINK and T. BAKER of the Sheriff's posse, in pursuit of two Laramie City jail breakers, shot two innocent workmen, Daniel PULLION and Charles COOLEY, surface graders on the Cheyenne and Northern Pacific Road. Both will probably die. When the deputies rode in sight of PULLION and COOLEY they thought that they were the escaped prisoners. They shot at them and ordered them to halt. The graders were terrified and started to run, when they were shot down. A mob of 100 graders and track layers pursued the deputies and threatened to lynch them.
