A Terrible Tragedy.

The Boscobel appeal publishes letter
from Abner e. Coates to his brother in
Grant County, which gives the particulars
of very sad affair which occurred at Lit
tie Lake, CAL, on election day, 10th of Oct.
last 1t appears that difficulty had exis-
ted between the Coates family and a nu-
merous and lawless family by the name of
Frost. The Frosts had repeatedly tried to
bring on a regular row, but until the day
above alluded to had failed. On that day,
having stronger force, and being more
determined to accomplish their object, they
succeeded in bringing on general fight,
in which rcvolvcrs, knives and guns were
used quite freely, with the following terri
ble result: Klled-Albert Coates, Tho's
Coates, Wesley Coates, Abraham. Coates,
and one of the Ero,ts. Wounded-George
Coates, Abner G. Coates, brotherinlaw
of the Frosts named Duncan, (thought to
be. mortal, and one Of the Frosts. liz
Two of the Frosts and A. c. Coates have
been arrested and placed under bonds.
The Coates all formerly resided in Grant
County, and are known as peaceful and
law abiding citizens. The quarrel was the
result of political hatred, the Frosts being
bitter Copperheads.i s1shi =

The Railroad.

q The interest which our citizens are tax
ing in the proposed railroad through the
county from Mineral Point, is in no way
tagging. They have taken steps to have
the route surveyed, the money to pay for
the survey to this place is ready, and al,
they wait for is the surveyors, who are at
present engaged on another job. They
have the promise of the surveyors next
week. After the survey of the road, an
estimate will be made Of the cost Of grading
&C., and then our citizens win doubtless
be called on to show their interest in the
enterprise by subscribing literally. Y 7
1t should be borne in mind by our citi-r
zens that the owners of the Mineral Point
Railroad are ready to extend it, that they
have the money to do it with, and propose
shortly to do it. 1t should also be renem-
bered with equal distinctness that they eI-
pect bonus from the citizens along the
route, and in the villages most interested,
as an inducement for them to extend the
road. The people of McGregor have offer
ed the Railroad Company a big 6onus if
they will make the terminus of their road
opposite that city. The people Of Miffiin,
Winsville and Lancaster would rather have
it extended to McGregor by their towns,
and are willing to pay the company for
putting it through on that route. There
fore if the people of Dodgeville and the
northern towns of this county wish to reap
any benefit from the proposed extension
of this road they have got to as'come down
with the dust" or in other words, pay the
company handsome bonus mas az

and we are compelled to confess that we
were actually surprised and astonished at
the amount of work they are doing. Only
last summer they built very large addl-
ton to their already extensive. nanufac-
tory, and now We are informed that they
are crowded for room, and propose to
enlarge by erecting building between the
old and new shops, and making it all one,
which will form building two hundred
feet long. They have now in store and
propose to uss up during the. winter, In
the erection of wagons. three hundred and
fifty sets Of hubs and spokes. The wood
is the best that can be bought, and theis
work being always substantial and good,
their wagons 60 off quite as fast as they
can build them, and faster if 1t were possi-
BILE. for they invariably have orders ahead
We commend this enterprising firm to the
patronage Of farmers, tcamsters and the
public generally.

Winter is now fairly upon us, and We
may expect stormy, cold days, in which no
work can be done, .and long evenings which
would drag very heavily, and appear very
dreary and long, were it not for the regu-
lar visits of the county paper. These facts
are known to all, and the advantages of
county paper are appreciated by many, but
We are sorry to say that there are many who
do not fully appreciate its advantages, OF
recognize its claims. Now, what We are
trying to get at is this. We want those o1

From the Dubuque Herald we learn that
horrible murder was committed on Sun
day on what is known as Waterloo ridge,
six miles west of Petosi, Grant Co, Wis.
It appears that soldiers orphan, : little
girl aged three years, was living at the
house of Jacob Sickle. while its mother
was in Dubuque trying to earn living.
Jacob Sickle has daughter about Is or
sixteen years Of age, said to be the lunfor-
tunate possessor ofa very bad temper. On
Sunday Mr.. Sickle was away from home.
About 10 o'clock of that day the daughter,
Lizzie Sickle, for some cause unknown as
yet, fell upon the little girl and beat her in
a most brutal manner. When the child
became unconscious and was apparently
dying, she became alarmed at the result Of
her brutality and called in neighboring
woman. To her she told story improba-
BILE its very face. She said that the
child had fallen from chair by accident
and hurt its head. But it required only q
glance at the mutilated body to show the
falsity of this story. The body was one
mass of bruised and broken flesh. On the
head was ftightful wound giving every
Indication of broken skull, and one of the
hands was crushed SO badly that, it is said,
not bone in it remained unbroken. A
physician. DR.. Graham, Of Potosi, was sent
for Immediately, and everything possible
was done for the little sufferer, but to no
avail, the child dying at 2 o'clock on Mon
day. The mother was on Monday notified
Of the horrible death Of her child, and has
tened to the place with such feelings as
only a mother can feel. aly7ts'5t
An officer was sent for Immediately to
arrest Lizzie Sickle, and she will be placed
| upon trial for murder The case justly
creates great excitement in the neighbor.
