we'll known to maay Of our citizens. and
for the past year resident Of Dakota
Territory, started for this city. Arriving
at Theophilus Bruguier on the Big Sioux,
Mr.. Fiegley stopped to transact some
business with Mr.. Bruguier. They went
together TO the woods near by for the por.
pose of cutting stick Of timber. They
cut tree which lodged, and in the act Of
dislodging it, Unexpectedly fell, striking
Mr. Flegley upon the left Shoulder
smashing the bones of the arm and

that he survived but few minutes. We
believe Mr. Flegley was formerly from

His funeral which took place on Tues.

him WAS but to admire him. Those who
so recently witnessed his departure, full of
Joy and hope, and who doubted not his
speedy retarn, can hardly realize that he
is dead. Truly, the ways Of Providence
are inscrutable. youth and health, tai,

These had been assumed with full and

Hon. Mnturin l.. Fisher,

The remarkable unanimity with which
the Democratic press of Iowa have urged
upon the approaching State Convention
the nomination of Hon. A. G. DopcE for
Governor is merited tribute to bis emf
nent public services and positive evidence
Of his strong hold on the affections of the
people. In view of his great popularity
and fitness--all others whose names have
been favorably mentioned for Gubernato-
rial honors, have with the commendable
desire Of seeing the party harmonious and
successful relinquished their own claims
and protFered cordial support to our dis
disappointment and regret that Gen.
DODGE will in no event consent to run
We are informed on undoubted authority
that such is his expressed determination.
Fortuna,ely we are not in want Of GAL
liant standard bearers whose antecedeuts
integsity-ability-and unremtting zeal
in promoting the true interests of Iowa
the people will delight to honor. Fore.
most among these is Hon. MArue1N L.
FISHER. Ills eminent fitness for the hiyh
est Office in the gift of the people of this
State secured to him from many quarters
the preference. Not wishing to prejudice
the claims Of Gen. DopcE or be among
his competitors he early refused his friends
the use of' his name in the convention
We confidently trust that the same patriot.
ic desire that induced the refusal then
will now induce him to lend the strength
of his popularity and influence to the pnr

to Republican misrule and achieving a

With FISHER for leader and associates
Of the same noble and popular stamp, we
have only to be active and yigilant to hurl
the party Of description and extravaganza
from the high seats Of power.
