turning to the house with tin pal, land
not seeing the horse, ran against it's
hind legs, when it kicked him in the
stomach. He died the following morn
ing. MIR. and Mrs. Moulton will feel
this bereavement terribly, as the lad
was an only son and unusually promis-
ing. They will, no doubt, have the
heartfelt sympathy of their neighbors
and of the members of Cascade grange,
OF which they are highly esteemed
members.
OUR absence last week prevented our
calling attention to a letter from the
farlbault Democrat, containing state
ment OF DR.. Hewitt, of Kenyon, touch
ing alleged malpractice in the case of
Knudt 0. Solberg, who died recently
near that village, from injuries by a
reaper. The accusation first appeared
in It spiteful letter written from Kenyon
by some enemy of DR.. Greaves, and was
I'm improbable story. 1t, however, in
advertantly slipped into our news col
umn, and justice required that we
should publish DR.. Hewitt's denial. DR..
Greaves could hardly be injured by such
malicious misrepresentation where he is
known, for he is a very humane and
clever gentleman, and good physician.
The name of the writer of the defama-
tory article ought to be made public, 50
that it will not again be in his power to
SANDER his neighbors through the press.

Our RIFLE TEAM.-The Red Wing
Rife Club went out to Twin Bluffs on
Monday afternoon to do some shooting.
1t was match game, five on a side.
Messrs. Perkins and Sterling were the
captains. These chose their respective
companies. Mr.. Sterling, however, was
prevented by other business from at
tending, and he appointed Mr.. VIM.
Sexton to fill his place. The guns used
were not the American rifles, nor any
other particular sort. They were mis-
cellaneous collection, and hardly any Of
them were just the thing for fancy
shooting. The distance was twenty
rods. The Sterling men were winners
by twenty points, but the Perkins COM
pany are not satisfied, and want to have
it over again. We believe it is already
arranged to have another trial soon, but
the time is not fixed; and at the next
trial the distance is to be increased.
We did not hear of anybody being hurt.
HooRAY! "That bear'' is shot at
last. All the sportsmen of the city
have been agog with reports of bears
having been seen, here, there, every
where, tor the past two weeks. TO
Mr.. Geo. r. Sterling, however, the
honor belongs Of killing the first bear
shot on this side of the river, ut least
this season. Mr.. Sterling, with several
companions, was out all day Monday.
About four o'clock in the afternoon the
bear was sighted near the head of Spring
creek, and the hunters gave chase. He
came directly past Mr.. Sterling, who
shot him through the spine. He after
"aros snot tne beast twice more, to put
him out of his misery. The weight of
this animal was 247 pounds. The body
is at present hanging in }. 0. Dow's
meat market on exhibition. Mr.. Ster-
ling is just now the popular headquar-
tiers for all the free cigars consumed in
the city.
