A BURIED WOMAN CONES TO LIFE.-(From
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil, Nov. O.! we
are indebted to A. Z. Steinmetz, OF this city,
TOR particulars of a case in real lite, which, IN
the elements OF the marvellous, IS FULLY equal
to the productions Of the story writer's, and
furnishes another substantistiou OF the truism,
that truth is stranger than fiction
young lady about 20 years OF age-Margaret
Anderson, by name-came TO this city about
wear sgo she came with company OF IelR-
lives and friends from Denmark, and lived
tere until about the first of July last. The
male members of the family found employ
ment on the line of the Union Pacific Road,
and found it convenient to remove their doml
ciIe nearer to the place Of their work conse-
uusntly, a part Of the family moved ont to Big
SPRINGS station, on the Pacific Road, and
among those who went was Margaret. Here
everything went on pleasantly. till about the
lst of September, when Margaret was taken
sick, and after severe illness Of about TWO
weeks, she babe them good-by, and her spirit
took it's flight 10 that bourne whence no traV'
sler returns. At least, SO tho situation pro
sented itself to her sorrowing friends. and 10
nj human appearances nobody was ever more
really dead, and no case more hOpeessly past
al surgery" The same day that she died,
The friends at Big Springs wrote to the reIa
tives in this city, giving particulars OF her acS
ress and death. On tbe second day alter she
had apparently breathe her last, rude cotsn
was provided, and the friends concluded that
the remains should be temporarily Inferred
upon the prairie until such time ss would be
more convenient to take them 10 a permanent
resting place.
Big Springs is simply watering station on
the Pacific Road there is no sottiemect ut the
place and nobody lives there but those employ
ed BY the company, consequently the last SAD
rites had to be performed By the members OF
hsr own family, and her body WAS laid to rest
by the hands Of sorrowing friends. But just az
:be coffin had been lowered to its resting place,
and few shoveIsfull of earth thrown into the
grave, an approaching train called the burial
party to duty at the station. Alter an absence
ot an hour, the men returned to the grave, and
% they were about to resume work with their
shovels, they heard noise in the partially
buried cofhu, giving evidence of kicking and
pounding, and as may be supposed after recover.
ing from their fright, the men lost no time 10 un
covering and opening the coffin. to sec what
had disturbed the dead woman's rest. The
remainder Of the story may be better imagined
than described. Suffice it to say that Margarets
trieuds and relatives in this city, who bad
mourned her as dead, have just received let
tor written by her own hand, giving the story
in detail and rejoicing over her narrow escape
from being buried alive.
That powerful Norwegian journal, published
on. in the North West. the Svensks Amerika-
naren, makes this severe criticism upon Gen.
Butler:
'.Det ar klart att ser. Buffers uppeilt som
kopercssmsn skalI bIiva att soka gen md1ia
dessa sina ipfor sllmanheten uttalade ssigter.'
Our readers, We are sure, will agree with US
that this is unanswerable.
