ACCIDENT At STANwonD.-A very
painful and serious accident happened
last Saturday afternoon to Mr..
Charles Preston, who was at the time
acting as switch tender at Stanwood.
The Upton train was doing some
switching just after its arrival, and
Mr.. P, in attempting to step upon
the lower bar OF the cow-catcher
while the engine was moving slowly,
allowed his foot to slip of the
bar, which is within less than an inch
of the rail. His foot was ground
through this small aperture, and
came out, strange as it may appear,
without bone broken. But the
flesh was torn from the bones clear
back to the heel and literally mashed
into a Jelly. DIR. Hunt was called,
and receives high compliments from
those who saw the dizziness and skill
with which he performed the delicate
and difficult task Of dressing the sick
ening wound For few hours after
the accident, Mr.. Preston suffered in
tensely, but ever since he has been
comparatively comfortable and Is
thought to be doing nicely.

IT was very sad news which came
to the family of Mr.. Linn, last Thurs
day, in the shape of a telegram from
Clinton informing them that Mr.. l.,
who was at work there, had been
stricken with paralysis. He is a
painter by trade, and has lately had
several symptoms of the effect pecu-
liar to lead poisoning, but disregard
ing them kept busily at his work.
The result seems to be this fearful
stroke, which fell just as he was
drawing on his boots in the morning
and left him perfectly helpless and
speechless. He was brought home
Thursday evening but as yet there
are no marked symptoms Of improve
ment.

Times gets off the following:
In view of the inability of any one
in these parts to hit anything small
er than whisky barrel with a revol-
yer, we would respectfully suggest
to the Council that perhaps arrange
ments might be made with that ex-
cellent marksman, the Upton burglar,
by means of which his services might
be secured to inaugurate the dog
crusade. If he can't be procured, we
would next make an arrangement
with Leach's battery, taking particu-
lar pains to fasten the dog securely.

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1874-11-26

On Thursday evening of last week, at
Lake Station, the train stopped before
reaching the depot, while brakeman,
or one of the trainmen, went ahead with
q lantern to see if theswitch was all right.
Finding it to be SO he gave the signal,
and the train started forward but he,
by misstep, fell between the ties of the
trestlework on the main track on which
the train WAS coming and there stuck.
A little boy about Il years OF age, son
Of Mr. James Martin, who was near by,
seeing the struggle OF the man to free
himself, and aware of the Immediate
danger, ran to the spot, seized the Ian
tern and swung the signal to stop the
engine. The train stopped in time and
the man was saved, Such presence OF
mind in this young boy deserves special
mention.-Ohio paper.

excavations, uncovering about 20 feet
square and four feet deep, through q
feet Of peat, 2 feet of hard pan, com
posed Of yellow clay and sand very hard
and dry; they then came upon bed OF
soft blue clay, evidently the bottom Of
the lake. In this soft clay all the re-
mains taken out were found; numerous
These parties obtained large portions
of the backbone, a large section of the
hip-joint, being portion Of the upper
bone Of the leg, portion of the bones of
the feet, ribs, and best of all, the second
tusk in a perfect state of preservation.
AS soon as taken from its bed, the tusk
wss smeared with the clay wherein it was
found, to keep the air from it, when it
was taken to the furniture marufactory
OF Id. E. Willhoft, where it was prop
erly cleaned, coated with varnish
and mounted on piece of black
walnut feet in length. The tusk is A.
feet long, weighing 36 pounds. It is a
valuable trophy; and the gentlemen, all
concerned, deserve praise for their eff
forts to discover these ancient relics.
The vertebra is inches in width the
ribs, 8 feet long. Although great efforts
were made to discover the head of the
animal, it could not be found owing,
perhaps, to its great weight it must have
settled to the bottom of the dark blue
clay. The tusks were found resting
upon the ribs, which was the reason Of
their resting SO near the surface of this
under strata of sand. Soundings were
made to the depth of ten feet through
clay and water, without reaching the
bottom. Owing to the lateness OF the
season, no further search can be made
until the spring.
DIR. Hoy, of Racine, at the request of
Mr. Fred. Perkins, came out to Burling-
ton to examine these interesting remains.
After careful and mature deliberation,
the Doctor pronounced them to be the
bones and tusks of the mastodon of an
under sizess but probably as large as an
elephant, and at least 2,00O years old.

KANSAS SUFFERERS.
. lfsasn Thousand Sufferers in the From.
tier Counties Appeal for Food and
Clothing.

ATCRINsoN, Kan. Nov. v.21-The Daily
Champion publishes from an advance
sheet OF official reports, made to the
State Board OF Agriculture, some statis-
tics showing the destitution existing in
several of the frontier counties Of the
state. Seventeen counties, in which an
aggregate of $4,000 acres had been
planted in corn, produced not q bushel
of this cereal. Five of these counties
produced an average crop of wheat, rye,
abundantly able to relieve any individ-
ual cases of destitution in their midst.
The other twelve counties, having an ag-
gregate population of 223, SIT, as shown
by the state census taken last June, are
all on the remote frontier, and settle
ments with them have all been made
within the last three years. The eight
in which the greatest destitution pre-
walls have all been populated within the
past year or two, and the greater part Of
their population settled within their lin
its either last spring or the preceding
fall. These eight have an aggregate
population of II, ,496. The settlers gen
orally had their first crop planted. They
had expended all their means in build
ing their homes and getting IN their
crops. Drought and grasshoppers
wrought q total destruction on everything
they had planted, leaving them totally
destitute They are without either food
clothing or fuel to sustain them until
they can produce something On which
to live, and must be sustained by charita-
BILE contributions of the people in other
sections of the state at large.
The Champion computes the number
of destitute in that state from 90, 900 to
25, 900 but of these many are located in
othel counties, where the crops with
the exception of corn, where fair ay-
erage and the more fortunate citizens are
able and willing to help their destitute
neighborhood, but in eight counties the
destitution is very general. Almost the
whole population will need more or less
assistance. AT least 10, 900 must be as
sisted during the winter, and until an
other crop IS grown.

A REFORM TREASURER MISS

A REFORM TREASURER MIssING.-The
''Reform" County Treasurer of Brown
county, F. Van Stralen, has been absent
from his Office for number of days,
and it is rllmored that he has absconded.
The County Board is in session and re-
port is due from him. A Green Bay
dispatch of the 18th, says: "He has not
been seen for seven or eight days, and
no trace is afforded of his whereabouts
Alleged irregularities III his accounts are
reported, and some stir in connection
with the matter exists. It remsins to
be seen whether he will, as some of his
friends insist, return within a day or two -
The Gazette says one of his bondsmen
says circumstances have very suspicious
look. The County Board has appointed
a committee to make Investigation of
Treasurer Van Stralen's affairs, from
the time he took possession of the Office.

THE New York Evening Post hes been
following up an investigation into the
ultimate end of the mail-bags. It ap-
pears that the New York Post Office
makes monthly requisition of 5000
bags to supply the place Of those that
have disappeared. AS the contract
price of the canvas-bags is 81 cents, this
amounts to monthly loss by careless
ness or dishonesty of $3.50, no small
figure, considering the character of the
material and the absolute want of fair
means of accounting for them. But the
authority we have quoted has ascertain
ed where some of them went. 1t seems
that Congressman are in the habit of
filing these bags with public documents
and mailing them from Washington to
their homes, where they are left, through
carelessness or ignorance. There is q
reason why Congressman should not re-
turn these sacks. The only person men
tioued in Scripture who ''kept the bag
was Judas, and, as the sacred narrative
candidly puts it, ''Judas was a thief"

The best news which the country has
heard from Washington, since the ad-
journment Of congress, is that the pre-
sident 'thas made up his mind to take a
decided stand 'in favor Of the resump-
ton Of specie payment. It is under
stood that in his message to congress he
will advocate the taking of Immediate
steps to that earnestly wished for end,
by such legislation as shall be needful,
and especially by fixing some definite
time, not exceeding two years hence, as
the date at which the national treasury
shall resume coin payments. Of course,
to fix time for resumption would be
useless and futile, except congress make
the necessary legislative provisions for
rendering resumption at the time fixed
not only possible but obligatory, as q
supplementary contract between the
government and its creditors, the hold
ers of its too-long- -dishonored treasury
notes. CHICAGO Times.

the rivers adjacent:
TWO RIVERS
During the past year the superstruc-
ture has been built over 1O31 feet of pile
foundation, and the piers filed with
feet in length, and the south pier 965
feet. The dredge was employed in exca-
waiting a channel for vessels Of light
draught. During the present season the
dredge will be employed in continuing
the excavation. The piers will be refill
led where the filing has settled, and the
north side of the channel into the river
revetted.

AHNAPER.

During the season Of 1873, the balance
of the appropriation for this harbor,
made in 1872, since which time there
has been no appropriation, was expended
in extending tbs south pier It's feet,
making its total length $40 feet. The
north pier is 353 feet in length. The
failure of the appropriation in 1878 left
the work incomplete. To make this har-
Dor available for any purpose requires a
channel to be dredged between the piers
into the river. Amount required to con-
tinue the improvement, $4,000.
