Rock River Bridges.

There is growing feeling among those
Of our citizens who pay the heaviest taxes
that it is better, at this time, to rebuild the
span of the iron bridge washed away at
Rock river this spring, than to build an
entire new bridge at cost of SIS, 900, and
probably more. The bridges will then
probably be good enough for four years
more, at which time the charter expires
The maintenance of the bridges will ther
fall upon the township and we may be
better able to build new. Let US wear oul
old clothes until we can pay for new ones
1t will not be long before the projected
dummy road to Milan will be built, and tt
that corporation, by right, will belong
some of the expense of building new anC
stronger bridges.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Verdict for the Defense in the Brant
Buford Case--Dealing out Justice
to the Criminals.

The Brant- Buford case which has been
on trial for the past two weeks, was given
to the jury about o'clock yesterday after
noon, and about o'clock in the evening
verdicttor the defense was returned. The
case has been appealed to the supreme
court.
The motion for new trial in the case of
Ike Dixon, found guilty of assault with
intent to murder, was then argued, Charles
W. O'Neil appearing for the prisoner, and
States Attorney Parmenter for the prose-
cution. The court overruled the motion,
ana sentenced the prisoner, in accordance
with the verdict Of the jury, to FIVE years
in the penitentiary.
Dixon's appearance and actions while in
the court room yesterday afternoon, led
many to believe that he is not in his right
mind-and before sentencing him the
court remarked that the mans behavior
was rather strange. The officers, however,
say that the fellow lis playing crazy but
| if this is fact then he is certainly an ex-
pert in the business. But time will tell.
Joseph Doner, for the larceny of q
watch and other things from tailor, living
in Negus's block was sentenced on his plea

The Coming funniest at milwaukee

Gne Com1ng TUcn1eSU at milwaukee.
On the 18th to the 23d of July occurs
the grand funniest of the United States.
The festival will be at Milwaukee, and in
point of numbers and Importance will be
the largest gathering of German societies
ever held in the western country.
Preparations have been going on for some
time among the various Turner's societies
composing the Upper Mississippi Turn
Bezirk, and from present indications there
will be large attendance from this
vicinity. The route selected IS the West
ern Union r. R., among the best roads in
the country, and through the courtesy of
its officials the fare has been placed at the
exceedingly low rate OF 81 for the round
trip, or less than half fare. The Western
Union is always among the first to make
concessions ON rates for societies and ex
cursions, and indeed on all extra occasions
aud has always shown u disposition to
favor this vicinity in particular. 1t is u
hrst-class managed road in every respect,
with courteous and obhglng conductors
and employees, and is, as it should be,
literally patron.zed The attendance from
this vicinity will not be confined to the
| German element exclusively, as numbers
have slgnifed their intention of being
present at the grand funniest, some
drawn thither in view of the extraordinary
occasion. while others take advantage OF
the low rates offered to visit the city on
business.
Capt. Timm, Simon Hirsch, the Werlich
Bros, and Herman Hannecke, the committee
of the Bezirk of this district have been indie
tatigableinthe interest of the societies and,
as an affair of this kind does not occur of.
ten, there should be large attendance.
The ceremonies will be of an interesting ma
ture and some of the finest gymnasts In
the country will be present. The people,
and especially the German element
which forms the larger part oil
those who will attend the funniest, are
to be congratulated on having made SC
favorable terms with the Western Unior
T. r., than which there is no better road
