FEARFUL TRAGEDY IN BUFFA-
10 TOWNSHIP.


Mr.. Daniel Hoppas, who lived on, and
worked the farm of Mr.. Norris, in Buffa-
10 township, near the head of the Grove,
last Friday morning met his death in q
sudden and most shocking manner. A
Jersey bull belonging to the place had
strayed away. Mr.. Hoppas had went at.
ter him afoot and tried to drive him
home, but the animal showing signs of
fight, he mounted horse, and with some
difficulty succeeded in driving him into
the stable. Mr.. Hoppas followed, and
while in the act of tying the bull with a
rope, the vicious animal turned and made
a lunge at him, driving one horn into his
abdomen, severing the intestines, and then
tossed his victim over his back. As the
man lay on the floor, the maddened beast
lunged at him again. but Mr.. Hoppas had
strength enough to crawl under a manger
His wife came to the door moment after
and beheld her husband holding his LAGER
ated bowels in one hand and fighting the
brute with the other, but could not 60 to
his assistance for fear of herself falling a
victim to the fury of the bull. Male help
was al hand, however, and Mr.. Hoppas
was extricated from his perilous position.
Physicians were summoned, but the torn
intestlnes forbade hopes of recovery. Mr..
Hoppas was conscious of his fate from
the first, and calmly told those who came
to his rescue that he was dead man.
His death occurred the next morning, at
1 O'Clock. He had been married but o
short time, and leaves no children.

The Impressions OF . Stranger

INDEPENDENCE, July nth, 1876.
To the Editor Of the Bulletin.
Iwould not in this make you vain, but
l would simply make the people of your
city appreciate their advantages. In all
my travels SO far in Iowa, l have yet
to see place like better than Indepen-
dence. Its surroundings are fine, the To-
cation of the city. good, and with all it
must be healthy city. Enterprising
men, good farming community around,
all seem to be for its advantage. One
thing however, do not like to see and
hear, that is sort of distrust. u faultfind
ing, such as the following: 1--WE are not
gong to have any crops. Wheat is q
failure. Corn only half crop, at least.
in fact it has been so rainy and cold, that
the whole crop of Buchanan county are
almost a failure" This seems to be up
on the lips of almost all. Now do not
believe any of this, have taken pains to
gather Information IN regard to all these
points, and find that at present the pros
pect is much more favorable. believe
wheat will be more than half a crop; oats
a full average crop; corn much better
crop than last year. Potatoes, the time is
yet to come to tell as to them, now they
look good, and if the fall should be dry.
the crop will be excellent Small fruits
have been abundant, and q good prospect
for apples, as is usual in this part of the
State. Why then is this grumbllng? 1t
is not half as pleasant as to try to look
upon the bright side of this picture
When one goes into Chicago and asks the
business men chow are the timess how is
trade?" he answers, ''good-first rate"
Now / do not advocate deception, but
do advocate at least the truth. While
the Chicago men will not admit times are
dull, we, here of the west in the small
towns, are always finding some small
thing to take up and grumble about. and
all tends to make business dull. Trade
in all its branches are wholly dependent
upon other departments for its support
Then say, with all these to encourage
us, look upon the best side-think some
one else is worse off than we arc. l felt
myself, almost as though the whole wheat
crop and all was failure on Saturday
last, when found could not get away
from here and 60 on my way, on account
of the railroad wash out, but was cheer
ed up by the gentlemanly landlord of the
Empire House-that all was we'll, aud
that ! could share still further his hQspi-
talities, which, by tho way, all who have
once been his guests will Join me in saying,
we will come again More again.

Cor EVEN. The day that John Robin
sons circus was here, couple of thieving
scoundrels, who travel in its wake, took
advantage of the absence from their
homes of number of families in the
country near town, to make raid upon
their domiciles for plumber. Among the
houses thus visited, and from which
watches, jewelry, and other valuable
articles were taken, were those of Calvin
Britain, Dan Delaney, David Borst, and
George Mills. AS Mr.. Mills and wife
were returning from town, and had got
in sight of their home, the thieves were
leaving. The latter made precipitate
retreat through the corn field, and when a
few minutes later, Mr.. Mills followed on
horseback, he failed to get any trace of
them. They took few articles of in
considerable value from his house, for
which he thinks he was amply compen'
stated next day. While blowing his corn
he found superb silver-mounted revolver,
ready loaded and primed, which the ras-
calls had dropped in their fight. Mr..
Mills is SO we'll satisfied with the result Of
the raid upon his premises that he mag
unanimously offers to return to the rascals
the contents of the revolver If they
should ever come that way again,

greatest amount OF real work with the least
amount Of talk and show. Competent instructors
Will have charge Of the various branches. Teachers
should bring with them what text books they may
have on the various branches OF study, together
with dictionaries and books Of reference.
Since the enactins Of the law providing for the
holding Of Normal Institutes, there has been
very marked progress in the educational work Of
Iowa, and 1t is believed that the cooperation OF
Buchanan County Teachers may be relied upon to
secure a stu greater advancement in this direc-
ton, while at the same time beneftting themselves
as individuals. 1t need scarcely be said that
prompt and regular attendance through the entire
session Is necessary in order to secure the full ad-
