A SHORT time ago Louis Theile, of
Oasis, Waushara county, got his foot into
the corn shelter in the Plainfield mill,
mangling it quite badly. His injury
was duly dressed by DIR. Guernsey, be-
ing wrapped around with cotton cloths
saturated with tincture of arnica. On
Saturday night his wife dressed his foot
afresh, saturating the dressing
well with the tincture, and set
candle near by, as she had not
yet retired. Mr.. Theile fell asleep and
awakened with jump, which caused his
foot to come in contact with the candle.
This set the arnica on fire, which blazed
up, putting Mr. Theile in such pain that
he jumped from the bed and rushed
around the house in his agony, and finally
fell on the floor. Mrs. T. seized sheet
and endeavored to smother the flames,
which blazed as high as Theile's head,
but she could not accomplish it, When
he fell, she sat down ON him, being
dressed in her night clothes only, and
smOthered the flames with these light
garments, though not until the man
had been quite badly burned. 50 says

/ FRANK PYER lives on the Oneida
Settlement, and is united in marriage To
one of the daughters of dusky hue of
that reservation. He has been in the
habit of entertaining company at his
dwelling, where dancing and amusement
prevailed. Amongst those who visited
his house were two Indians, named re-
spectively Cornelius Hill and Jake Pow
rumor says 1t was jealousy, these two
men named were forbidden to pass
the threshold OF the Pyer dwell
ing, and Jake and Cornelius,
it is stated, had threatened to
"make all things even" in regard
to this mandate of Franks 1t
would appear that the two discarded In
dians had been visiting, and on return
ing to their home met Pyer, when they
put their former alleged threats into
execution and attacked him, when he
fed and they chased him up closely,
stabbing and cutting him in a dreadful
manner. Pver made for his home, and
one of our informants stated that he was
in bed weltering in his blood when he
saw him. Hill and Powless have left for
parts unknown, and we are informed
that Pyer is lying in precarious state,
and not expected to live.-Green Bay
