The project of a bridge across the
Mississippi at Red Wing is being SER
iously discussed by some of our mer-
chants. The advantages Of such a
bridge are palpable to every one, and
we hope something decisive will be done
toward it, shortly.
ELLSWORTH wis., Herald furnishes
the following:
Mr.. G. ". Kimball, who was badly
injured by Il log falling upon him at the
saw-mill, about two months ago, was
able to sit up in rocking chair on
Monday.
J. H. McLAUGHL1N, of Trimbelle,
killed 2-year old bear, about mile
north of that village, on Saturday.
The River Falls races recently post
poned will come off October 7th and 9Th.
The remains of man were found
Tuesday morning on the railroad track
near Hay Greek, run over by the Mon
day evening train. The body was
frightfully mangled, no part being un-
injured except the face. TWAS brought
to Red Wing for identification. He
was an old man of sixty or Whereabouts,
and was supposed to have been in a
state Of intoxication when killed, as an
empty whiskey bottle was found near
the spot where he was struck.
SATURDAY evening one Of our city
boys went into the kitchen to get some
wood. In about FIVE minutes he appear
ed at the open door, and yelled to the
rest Of the family sitting around the ia
BILE, '1've got rat" and pitcheda bas-
ket containing three dozen eggs on the
carpet. The rat started on tour of
inspection around the room, and the
boys mother Immediately mounted a
chair and made a few remarks which
were received with due respect. They
killed the rat, and the carpet was put
down again yesterday. Next time, Max,
when a rat runs up your coat sleeve we
hope you will show little more pres
ence of mind.
ABOUT four o'clock Monday morning
man knocked at the door of John
Days residence and asked Mr.. Days
wife for spade. She was somewhat
alarmed at his wild appearance, and
told him to wait; then went directly to
her husband who came down stairs in
his stocking feet. The man. had
gone into the h >use and was about to
start up stairs, when Mr.. Day in
terposed. The intruder struck at
him and then tried to jump through one
Of the windows, but only succeeded in
breaking the glass. He next tried an
other with the same result. Mr.. Day
finally mastered him, and was then as
sisted by several persons aroused by
the uproar, to carry him to the jail,
where he is now safely ensconced. The
man was half crazy, it is supposed from
the effects Of a long spree.
