TERRIBLE FALL--John MAILER, Of Troy, received
fearful and almost fatal fall at St Joseph on
morning Of week The particulars as FAR a. can Do
ascertaped are as follows MAILER had been spending
several DAYS at St Joseph his fathers and ON Wednes-
day evening came down the business part OF the
city to he ready start home the following morning
He met George Campbell mail route agent on the Deu
yer Road and went to sleep with him at the Sauhaes
House They went to bed about o'clock, in room in
the fourth story Campbell soon aseep but the
night was very warm and Mailer well as he can re-
,,s,,bsr after living in bed for time, got up and
went and sat in the window. This is the last he reme
herr. About O'Clock in the morning, the night watch
man at the hotel heard heavy fall upon the pavement
in front of the Office and upon going out found Mailer
living sepseless He had evidently fallen asleep IN the
window losing his balance had fallen to the
mept distance of over forty feet He was picked up
and carried into the house. and found to be fearny
mashed nm One arm broken and both legs, below
the knees were literally mashed in pieces The ankles
were crushed and the bOnes of the legs forced down
through heels He had evidently struck on his heels
his legs receiving the whole force Of the shock IL was
feared he was injured internally but is now believed
he was not 1t miracle that he was not instantly
killed.
Maillers limbs were bandased but the doctors made
no attempt for a day two dress the wounds They
feared he was fatally injured at all events, that am
pnration of both would be to save his
life and thought watch the symptoms They are
now satisfied that seriously injured internally
and that they save both feet but the chances are
that he will be in a degree cripple for life.
John MAILER has resided at Troy from his Childhood
where everybody knows him, and all who know him are
his friends While rejoicing at his escape from death
they sympathze with him in the misfortune that has
happened him.

There is a rush in the grain trade, at present. The

case of burglary occurred at the residence of VIM.
vandersice last Wednesday night Some carried
ladder from the wheat stacks, half mile away, and
climbed up to the second story window and went the
room where his stepdaughter Miss Minnie Parker,
sleeping They accidentally caught hold Of her arm,
which woke her up and she commenced to scream When
Mr. Vandersce up to what was the matter she
declared there man in the ROOM The burglar man
aged get away but left the ladder standing against

various speculations to what he after and
what his intentions but it is reported that Miss
Parker has fallen heir quite large of money and
il is opinion that he Peter Cooper man, and
wanted more greenbacks.
The yrasshoppers are at Sterling Nebraska, hundred

The CHIEF is mistaken, when it says Wolf River was
