| A DESPERATE FTcHr.-On Monday even
ing last, John Steiner, herdsman to nj: l..
Sullivant had desperate, encounter with a
buck elk. After the cows We're MIXED in
the evening, the herdsrran ATTEMPTED to
drive them Away, Which. ,dispieased tbh, elE
and he manifested his disposition by shaking
his head and stamping his feet; his appear,
ance becoming more threatening. Steiner
picked up stick, when the elk With his hair
all bristled up and fury in his eyes plunged
at him. He received the ATTACK firmly and
with stout blow, which broke his stick and
deprived him of his only means Of defence.
Selling the infuriatea ~ BY his antlers
with one hand and him in the nose
with the other, he W. Enabled for some time
to protect himself by turning aside the ire
mendous and sharp pointed horns. For
more than an hour did this terrible struggle
mastery continue between the man and the
enraged brute; the elk making all the while
the most desperate plunges, and the man
straining every muscle in this battle for
life.
More than once he was on the point of
Citing UP, but the love of life and the thought
of dying in such a manner, with no one to
witness, nerved him with nevi strength. and
inspired the Hope Of wearing out the Stub
born beast, Several times the horns of the
elk tore their way through the quivering
hesh OF the unfortunate man. Exhausted, at
length, by the violence of his exertions and
the loss of blood, he sunk to the ground.
when the savage beast had it all his own way::
When he recovered Consciousness. it was
with extreme difficulty that he dragged his
lacerated body to his cabin, where. he laid
himself upon his bed. Relief seemed hobe-
less, for the night had come on with clouds
of darkness, and the nearest human being
was a mile away. Finding himself growing
worse, he reused himself for one more strup
gle for life.
He arose, he hardly knows how, saddled
his horse and rode down to Franklinton.
distaiice of two miles, where he arrived in
an exhausted and falnting condition, about
o'clock, or some three hours after the con-
fict. Dr.Ioving having been sent for, skill
fully dressed Steiner's wounds; but he still
lies in most critical and dangerous condi-
ton. One prong of the antler entered his
chest little below the heart, decorating the
left lung, the other piercing the right. A
dreadful cash, some five inches long, on the
right thigh, barely missing the femoral ar
terry, and his body is very much brtiised.
Steiner never seems for a moment to have
lost his prresehce of mind during This heroic
struggled. s. Jour.

Tho Democratic Rice Ticket for Ramsey Co,
The cOlintHl ticket dominated at Market
Hall on Wednesday, should not be elected.
The men may be good enough and decent
enough, SO far as they were intended at the
hour of their creation to fill the spheres of
life which their Creator intended them to fill;
but it is out of the question, this year, if the
people of Ramsey county vote us it is their
duty to vote, to elect any one of them. They
are doubtless put up by the Riceites to be very
quietly traded off on the day of election, in
order to procure votes for the only remain
ing main pillar of the whole fabric of Ne
braska-R iceism-H. M. Rice himself We
do not believe that either Marshal Irwin, C.
L. Emerson or j. P. Wilson, the noted trio
that engineered those devoted victims on to
the ticket, have the femotest hope of elect
ing single man nominated. Wilson, per-
haps, would like to have a partner on the
Commissioners Board for the next year-one
who would vote with him on all the 'treas-
ury eating" questions but he would, at heart,
rather get Rice into Congress than be enabled
to have continued full swing at the peoples
money.
We will see, however, how the matter
will work out. If the Republican Conven-
ton does Its duty tomorrow, there is GER
tai.ay that the ticket which it dominates will
be largely elected to man.
