A woman was frozen to death on the Min
nesota prsiries last week, near Hastings. A
search revealed that she had been buried in
the snow within few rods of her residence.
A little boy, her grandson, was found near
her, iDsensible, with his hands and feet badly
frozen. Upon recovering his senses he said
his grandmother got lost in the snow, and
fearing she would freeze, she cried loudly
for help, but her cries were not heard.
When she became too much benumbed to
proceed further, she took off some of her
clothing and wrapped it around the boy,
which was probably the means of saving his
life

signRlly failed in all his attempts, from the
fact he hadn't the cork leg, or any other leg

0UTRAGEoUs.-About two weeks ago an
elderly widow lady, who owns considerable
property in this city, was returning home
about ten o'clock at night from friends
house, on Sixth-street. She was proceeding
up Central.avenue and when at the corner
Of Ninth. street she was accosted by po
liceman named Kelsh or Kelcher, who de .
msnded to know where she was going. She
replied by saying she was going home. AT.
ter other questions, asked in a very ungen-
tlemsnly manner, he poured upon her abus-
i've language and the lowest order ofbillings-
gate epithets, and finally dragged her off to
the station. house. There she was again SUBJ
jected TO insult and rudely thrust into q cell.
She profered money for her appearance, if
they would allow her to go home. This
they refused, and it was not until Lieuten-
ant on the police force came in, who knew
her, that she was liberated.
1t was then half-past twelve o'clock, and
instead of furnishing the much-injured lady
with an escort she was compelled, late as il
was, to 60 home alone. She commenced
proceedings against the officer who arrested
| her, also Officer Morton and Station house
keeper Evans. They were tried before Squire
Mclean on Saturday, and Kelch bound ovel
in the sum of $500 for his appearance before
| the Court of Common Pleas. Morton ant
