SENATOR ScEUErrF, of Manitowoc
county, must be a happy man. Upon
his return from Madison the people
turned out, regardless of party, and
gave him warm reception, thoroughly
endorsing his action as their Senatorial
representative. The Senator was hard
worker, and did all for his people that
they asked him to do.--Fosad az Lac

THE Ahnapee Record says August
Brandt, Of Forestville, recently suffered
the destruction of one of his eyes, by an
OK. He was endeavoring to place the
yoke on pair of oxen, when the near
animal threw its head up quickly, one
of its horns entering the left eye of the
unfortunate man, removing it completely
from the socket. Every effort of the
physician to restore the lost member
proved unavailing.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.


A most horrible accident occurred at
POtsdam. Potsdam is little hamlet,
about eight miles northeast Of Roclles-
ter, Mimi, and Is the center Of settle.
ment OF thrifty German farmers.
Messrs. coranske and Buetow have
wind gristmill there. Alittle after one
o'clock in the afternoon, the Windmill
became unmanageable by reason Of q
high wind. A number Of men were
gathered about, and four Of them went
up into the tower supporting the wind
mill, to endeayur TO turn the machinery
so as TO throw tho fan into the wind.
The party was headed by William A. Nc.
Carren, q very athletic young man Of
about twenty-seyen years, who worked
at the blacksmith shop OF Potsdam.
The others who went with him were
John Haft, August Tradup and Henry
Peters.
On getting to the top Of the tower the
men were crowded into o very small
space on platform about three feet
wide, and McCarren, standing on tim.
Der and in q cramped position, thrust q
-crowbar into the machinery, which was
running at fearful rate, to stop II, but
the momentum of the machinery threw
him off his balance, and his foot slipped
under large revolving cogwheel. As
he felt himself drawn into tho machinery
he cried: "Boys, save me, I'm caught !"
and o cohple Of the men standing by
caught him by thelegs and tried to draw
him out. a ~ l.fl11i
They held on to him until he was
drawn in nearly up TO his shoulders,
when, finding they could not help him,
but were in great danger Of being
drawn in, they let go, and one OF them,
Henry Peters, jumped distance Of
twenty feet TO a landing below In the
tower. He was bruised but not serious
| ly hurt.
Poor McCarren's last words were
those given above; he is thought to have
died almost at once after uttering them.
His body was rapidly drawn in and
passed through a space Of not more
than two inches In width between the
wheel and a timber, crushing II into q
pulp Of duiyering, bleeding flesh, held
together by the torn clothing and hang
ing from the timber in % horrid, shape.
loss mass. The arms and part OF one Of
tho legs were not so thoroughly crushed,
but we're badly torn dhd iiangled by the
cogs. Tho whole body was passed
through in this way clear 10 tho head,
which was stopped by crowbar tllat Ind
been left in tho wheel by ono Of the
mon. The head was afterwards severed
from the body with n knife in order 10
extricate IL. And this, we are told, took
placo within two or three minutes. The
tower was dripping with blood. The
horritied men attempted to stop the mill
by crowling grain into the stones. but
had 10 abandon the effort, and after 9
few hours 1t in some wny stopped itself.
Itisa strnnge fact that Mr.. McCar.
ren's watch was found in his vest pocket
uninjured, and was running regularly
after tile accident. His pocketbook was
also uninjttred. n"

A CITY UNDER ARREST.

The Onielais or BIsmarck, Dakota Terri
tory, Arrested for Then.
General George A Custer, commander
Of the forces at Fort Lincoln, Dakota
Territory, has taken n hand in suppress
ing the operations Of n band OF what
might with some propriety be called
banditH.
Fort Lincoln, II will bc remembered,
is located on the Missouri, about six
miles above and across the river from
the fledgling city Of l,ismaek q baili-
wick in tho very center of frontier
roughness. For the past two yeafs tho
authorities at the iorthaye been pestered
with continued petty thef.s that gradu'
ally increased until they could figure up
their losses to somewhere about ten
thousand sacksof grain and forty or fifty
mules. The thieves, who rendeSyoused
at Bismarck, became finally so bold that
they openly defed the Federal authori-
ties there who endeayored to mike ar-
rests, and threatened the lives Of
Marshal Edgerly and Commissioner
Jackman. These officers found them
selves powerless, as they could obtain no
witnesses bold enough to testify to the
injtiry Of the gang. In March last Cen
eral Custer, feeling himself called upon
10 do something in the premises, detailed
Major John Garland, OF the Sittli United
States infantry, TO proceed to Bismarck
and assist the United States authorities
there in ferreting out and prosecuting
the thieves. In connection with these
officials Garland went quietly to work
gathering up information and making
occasional arrests. To tho astonishmeni
Of everybody the first seizure Of grain,
some forty.six sacks, was made In the
warehouse Of the present mayor Of the
city. The seizure created furore, and
the civil authorities interfered and re
pleyined the oats from the marshal and
arrested him. r tIlh
There was now a decided conflict be-
tween the two authorities, and the Fed.
eral officers found themselves again pow
erless. In this dilemma Marshal Edger-
" invoked the assistance Of the nearest
commanding general, Custer, who con
sented 10 interpose his arm. On March
20 he proceeded to Bismarck with his
entire force, rightly judging that 3
strong front would prevent possible and
threatened bloodshed. With tho pres
ence Of the military the marshal and
commissioner found no difficulty what
ever in recovering considerable quanh
ties Of grain and removing II 10 Lincoln,
and in arresting the city justice, city at.
torney, county sheriff, two aldermen and
several citizens, who have since beer
held to hail to appear at thenext term Of
the district court 10 be held at Fargo
General Custer then, at the request o.
the United States authorities, left o de
tail Of ten men in the city under com
mand Of Mayor Garland, with orders to
assist Marshal Edgerly whenever neces
sary. Since then o large number Of tht
stolen mules have been recovered, will
quantities Of grain. In oil about thirt,
persons have been arrested, most o.
whom have been held TO await tho actor
Of the grand jury. The gang is supposed
to be very extensive, noless thanseyenty

How II was discovered.

Thus runs the tale: Somewhere about
the year 1880 n travelling millwright,
weary and ioot.sore, and with the broad.
est OF Northern Doric accent, stopped at
a factory in England and asked for work.
His aspect indicated beggary, and the
proprietor, Mr., Boulton, had bidden
him seek some other workshop, whom,
as the man was turning sorrowfully
away, he suddenly called him back, say

The Black Hills.

The Black Hills country Is described
by Gen. Custer as broken, wild, andpic.
tnresque. Cliffs and canyons alternate,
and the green and fertile valleys are in
tersected by numerous streams OF pure
water. The forest growth is in parts
very dense. Wagon roads had to be
cut, or as the general expressed 1t,
g moved out for miles by the axmen.
The Indian guides told him before he
started on the Inst expedition TINT he
could not possibly get through thecoun-
try3with wagons; and he started with the
intention Of going asfar with the wagons
as possible, and then taking to horse
back. He was, however, able to retain
wagons oil the time, Besides having to
nmow out the roads through the dense
timber at certain points the general had
toilet his wagons down the face Of the
cliffs with ropes, two hundred men hang
ing TO rope. gp,-s t
TO gold, the general could make no
thorough examination on account Of the
limited time to which he was held by
his orders. He was therefore careful in
his official report not TO oyerstate actual
results obtained; but Judging from his
personal observation and from such ex-
porimental washings as were made, he
thinks there is q large amount Of gold in
the country, and some silver. eagri-
