A Clergyman Killed Going TO "a Funeral
The CNrnse Reiurns To Life

Tho Lacrosse Republican has correspondent who
was recently visiting at West Bend, Wisconsin,
when ho learned the following facts which arc cub
stantiated by Hon. E. o. Thorpe. who resides at West
Bend
"On Saturday, the Sd instant, at West Bend, the
Rev. Mr.. Miller called to 20 into the country
few miles from town, to preach the funeral sermon of
Mrs. Lambert, who supposed to be dead She
was arrayed In her funeral attire and placed in her
coffin. 1t appears that Mr.. Miller was the owner of
fractiOus horse, that sometimes unmanagsable
and would run away. He was to pass through a
tlmpered country and account of snow drifts the
road was almost impossible, and from this fact the
horse succeeded in throwing the minister from the
cutter.
From appearances Mr.. Miller was thrown with
great force upon a large oak stump that was filed
with short knots. One of these knots came in con-
tact with and severed the jugular veir When he
was found life almost extinct from loss of blood
de was taken to the nearest house and medical aid
at once procured but he only lived short time The
cutter was found some distance from where the acci
dent occurred, and the horse detached from it. But
the most singular development of this sad and nys
erlous affair is yet to be told: Further information
proves that Mrs. Lambert was not dead but had
been IN trance tor two days, presenting every indi
cation that life had departed. Sheis now improving
and expected very soon to recover She states that
she could hear every word spoken and could realize
the preparations her friends were making for her
funeral, but could make no resistance move anus
Gle of her body. Her grave had been dug. She now
lives, and the minister who had been called to preach
her funeral sermon lies buried in the same grave
made to receive her last remains.
