wear out.

weather.
Oh, yes! We almost foryot-hrrrah for Hayes!
Capt Clonch has disbandsd his bulldorng company,
and sold his cannon.
Many Of our citizens are Of the opinion that some of
that breed Of chickens the C1f mentioned last week,
in Severance, from the kind of muzzles drug
gists selling.
Our people realize tho great benefit tho railroad 10
to town; besides, sll think have hsd our
share Of its benefits, and that the Company al
ways ready to help us, in the way of its improve
ments. But still the street crossings ought to be
kept open, and little accommodation shown to
the town in this particular. Can't it be regulated
Mr.. Tuthill or Mr. Hanson!
On Saturday last, hired hand At Mr.. Shulskey's
after dinner went to the barn to feed his span of
mules; but whether by kick or whether the mule
stepped on him, is not known. But at any rate. he
was found under the mules with his leg broken just
above the ankle, both bones broken. DIR. Dale was
called reduced the fracture and at last accounts the
man was doing as well could be expected.
c. D. Robb had fine hog to drop dead, on last Sat
urday morning. 1t being valuable brood SOW, he
concluded he would open it, and doing he found
in its throat four worms about four inches long each.
They resemble tape-worm, and are the most horri-
DR. Dale's drug store. We think our farmer friends
should look after this matter Something of this kind
may have been the cause of so many hogs dying.
Died, Monday morning March 9Th, infant child Of
B. Alters, aged ten months.
No mistaks-no matter how small the account is,
if not settled by the 10th Of this month Dr. Dale will
put them in the hands of officers for collection.
In our notice of lost note should be dated 10th,
instead of 9Th.
The particulars of the bloody deed 1t the saloon,
Monday night, we will pass until next week but
will say, Wesley Beauchamp, the wounded man, is
not expected to live, while Pat. Msher, the man Who
used the shovel, is under arrest But in this place
and time, call upon Sheriff and County Attor-
ney put stop to that low doggery of saloon 1t
has becn for the last six weeks, nothing else but
regular knockdown and dragout affair. Tho saloon
is being without license either State, County,
national Such place is not wanted in Severance.
1t has come to . pretty pass when q saloon keeper
will let lie the floor Of his saloon for nearly
hour, welterng in his blood, insensible, and
one to care for him. Could not even 60 scross the
street. to get help. Then, let take away
the instrument the deed was done with. Inhumanity
is the foulest deed q be guilty Of Even the
sav.ges take of their wounded. This not
done in Severance until Squire Aswhsrter called in
assistance. Ds. Hopkins and Dale both say there il
but one chance in hundred for Beauehamps life to
be saved and then, in all probability, he will be
deranged man, the balance Of his days.
Mr.. Nelson, understand, has closed the saloon.
He not running it, but he caused it to be closed
snd in this he has done the best thing of his life.
