LAST Saturday night Mrs. George Ad-
ans, living in Colerain Township, came
near losing her life by strange acci-
dent. She had gone to the well in the

some water, when the ground surround
ing the well for the distance of eight or
ten feet suddenly gave way, and she was
precipitated into the water. A large
tree standing near the well also fell, and
Mrs. Adams would undoubtedly have
been drowned had not her cries attracted
attention and brought out the family,
who at once rescued her, considerably
bruised and very much frightened.

It would If you belonged TO the pencil

for pulling the weather on general princi-

prevailed in Dakota during the month of

have become accustomed TO our, delightful
winters have expressed themselves in terms
OF the warmcst approval of the conduct Of
the weather clerk during TIC closing month
of 70, For fifteen daysof the month the
mean temperature was above the freezing
point and nearly every day has been clear

a Dastardly Affair.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 3l.-A. .fnrther,in
vestigation into the matter of the
burning Of Mrs. Gordon and 3 child.
rem at Enterprise, Ind, last Saturday,
as detailed in these dispatches, leads
to the belief that the woman and her
children were murdered by some one
unknown, and the bodies placed in
the house and consumed fof the pur.
pose of concealing the crime. The
object OF the murder is supposed to
gain possession Of some money which
Mrs. Gordon had in the house and
barn which was consumed as we'll as
the house, and the two buildings arc
situated so far apart that it is believed
that the burning of one would not
have lgnited tho other.
