that he must stake it up stairs or the
BOYS might get hold Of it, and hurt
themselves or somebody else"
he thought of it again, and going to
the drawer he put the weapon in his
pants pocket, on the right side, and
walked outside and in front of the
house, and it is presumed that he lift
ed or hitched up his pants, as was his
custom, and sat down in an arm chair
near by, and, striking the hammer on
the arm of the chair, the cartridge ex-
ploded, the ball penetrating the abdo-
men several inches to the right of the
navel, decorating and burning the
flesh in a frightful name
He arose, walked into the bar of the
hotel, and, addressing the bartender,
exclaimed "Take this pistol; I've
shot myself. Send for the doctor,
quickly"
The unfortunate man was carried
to his % Immediately, and Drs.
Stephenson, Young, Long, Armand,
Reed, Mahan, and several others were
summoned, and were on hand prompt
ly, who probed the wound for the ball
without success, though they think it
must have passed upward. AS the
muscles of the abdomen had relaxed,
it was impossible to trace the course of
the messenger of sorrow.
The wound was almost the counter
part of that received by the late and
lamented Mr.. Valandigham, only that
in the case of MI. Stunkand there was
evidence of internal hemorrhage very
shortly after the accident, and there
was external bleeding all the time
AT 8 and 9 o'clock Mr.. S. was still
conscious at IL o'clock he was sink
ing rapidly, and NJ hopes were had
of his recovery. At 11:40 A. M, he
breathed his last, having suffered ter
ribly the last few hours of his life
His family and friends are inconsola-
BILE in their grief. They have the
deep and heartfelt sympathies of the
entire community in their heartrend
ing, sudden and unexpected affection.
We were shown the pistol and the
cartridge from which was discharged
the bullet that did the fatal work.
The victim of the frightful accident
had on large linen pants, which con-
tanned large pockets, and it is evident,
and accords with his own statement,
that the butt of the pistol was down
ward, and the muzzle must have been
pointed directly toward his abdomen,
when in a position to sit down, and
the hammer caught against the arm of
the chair, and, in reacting, struck the
cartridge, as it previously rested there
on, causing the explosion.-T IL. Ga

Our city was startled this morning
with a report that D. G. Stunkard,
ESQ +, one of our most energetic men,
and highly respected citizens, had ac-
cidentally shot himself. The news
spread like wild-fire among his nu-
merous friends, and "Have you heard
of the sad news of Dave Standards
accidentally shooting himself? ?" was
heard from the lips of any two citizens
who CHANGED to meet, while q crowd
assembled at the scene Of the tragedy.
Deep gloom and unutterable sorrow
for the fate of our good and much
loved citizen pervades the city.
We heard of the sad affair early in

and probabilities of the case, which. as
we learn them, are as follows: 1t ap-

the center of the great westward move

river at three points.
These three points are the gateways
into three great sections of the trans

The Northern gate is Omaha, where
the great Pacific road will take You to
the land of gold and grapes, sunny

The middle gate is Plattsmouth,
which opens npon the south half of
Nebraska, south of the Platte river, a
region unsurpassed on the continent
for agriculture and grazing. Just here
are the B. & NJ. Railroad lands, con-
corning which Geo. S. Harris, the

give you all information, and in the
heart of them is Lincoln, the State

The Tylersburq Road.


We have been informed that the
roads between here and Tylersburg
are in a very bad condition. They are
getting so bad that accidents to teams
and wagons are liable to happen at
any time. This thoroughfare goes
through to Clarington, Cooksburg,
Tylersburg, Fryhurg, Newmanville,
and all the numbering settlements ad-
joining these places, and is the princi-
pal thoroughfare leading out of Tio-
nesta. The supervisors are bound by
law to keep these roads in repair. If
there happens to be no money in the
treasury at the time the repairs are
needed, it is the supervisors duty to
fix the road and then levy taxes to
cover The expense. The summer sea-
son Is, of course, the best, because the
most economical time to expend the
money collected from the people in the
shape of taxes, in repairing the roads.
We hear that there has not been a
days work done on this road since
last Fall. For the first accident which
may happen as the fruit ofsuch neglect
the supervisor in the township where
it occurs is liable to fine of S50 af-
ter that, larger penalties. Complaints
from parties who are interested in the
state of this particular road, have
reached us, and we are assured that il
work is not begun on them at once,
steps will be taken to make the super
visors do their duty.
Mr.. Z. E. Clapp, of President, is
supervisor of his township. The road
is the next river road below this place,
and is not travelled one. fourth part as
much as the road we speak of. Mr..
Clapp is giving his personal attention
and supervision to the work of putting
this and other roads in that section, in
first class order. All who know him,
know that his private business would
abundantly occupy his time If he we're
to neglect the duty which has been
given to him by the voters of President.
His example is worthy one, and we
hope soon to have it to record that it
he's been followed by all the supervi-
sors of our county.

Burlington.

Leaving the East and arriving at
Chicago or indianapolis, how shall we
reach the West2 The best Line is ac.
knowledged to be the c., B. & O.,
joined together with the B. & M. Rail-
road by the Iron Bridge at Burlington,
and called the BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running
to Omaha. connects with the great Pa
cific Roads, and forms to-day the lead
ing route to California. The Middle
Branch, entering Nebraska at Platts-
mouth, passes through Lincoln, the
State Capital, and will this year be
finished to Fort Kearney, forming the
shortest route across the Continent by
over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverg-
ing at Red Oak, falls into line run
ming down the Missouri through St.
Joe to Kansas City, and all Kansas.
Passengers by this route to Kansas,
see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Mis-
souri,, and, by slight divergence, can
see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remem-
Der the Burlington Route, for its towns
"high-gleaming from afar"-its tree
fringed steams-Its rough bluffs and
quarries-its corn-oceans stretching
over the prairies further than eye can
reach.
Land-buyers will be sure to remem-
Der it, for they have friends among
the two thousand who have already
bought farms from Geo. S. Harris, the
Land Commissioner of the B. q M.
r. r. at Burlington, Iowa, or among
the four thousand home-steaders and
preemptors who last year filed claims
in the Lincoln land Office, where "Un-
Gle Sam is rich enough to give us all
a farm"
