A three year old boy of Mr.. c. Wilson
came near freezing to death on last Sun
day, about half mile east of the stock
yards. 1t seems the little fellow started
out in the morning in q wagon, with
two of his elder brothers, who went out
to dig up cottonwood trees. They left
the small boy in the wagon while they
walked down the creek. 1t is supposed
the little fellow had fallen asleep, and on
waking up finding his brothers gone..had
started for home through the snow and
had probably travelled two miles, when
he was seen by couple Of gentlemen
walking down the track, and had to be
carried in their arms 10 his home. When
found he had fallen quite exhausted on
his face in the snow. Ten minutes more
and the little fellow would probably
have succumbed, he being so far gone
that on the way home he wanted to 60
to sleep, he said. The gentlemen have
the sincere thanks of the parents of the
boy.

Owing to the late very sudden spell
of weather, 1 caught cold in my chest,
which soon settled in my trunk, and af-
ter few unsuccessful attempts to write
found that was not we'll enough, which
is the best reason 1 can give for not
sending to you that weekly allowance
last week.
In regard to the letting of tho county
printing, allow me to inform you what
the voters of this end of the third dis
trict think of tho matter. They arc in
no way surprised at the action of Mr..
Buell. but nearly all express surprise
that Mr.. Carlin should so readily tum-
BILE 10 the "gentle racket" of Buell.. We
ali have the utmost confidence in our
Mr.. Denton, and like our
former two term commissioner, Hon. S.
NJ. Palmer, when he is Obliged to sub
nit to fraud, there is no help for 1t.
But rest assured that wherever Mr..
Denton's signature appears upon the
records, signed under protest, that right
there is spread upon the records fraud
upon the people of this county.
