New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1878-06-26

A HORRIBLE state Of things was re-
Gently iscovered in a medical college
in Cincinnati. It was found that the
body Of a prominent citizen named
Devine had been stolen from the ce-
metery, and in searching for it in
the pickle watts Of the college, the
body of another prominent man,
Scott Harrison, was discovered. It
seems that the college was in the ha-
bit Of supplying other institutions
of the kind with subjects for dissec-
ton, and an officer was dispatched to
Ann Arbor Mich, to investigate the
medical college there, and IN three
large watts filled with brine were for
II dead bodies, many Of which were
recognized as from Cincinnati.
Young and old men, women and ne
groes, were mixed together, and
were in various degrees Of decompo-
sition, and the developments will
probably render body -snatching a
little more dangerous hereafter.

leaving their small children at home
in bed. While thus absent the
house took fire IN some way and FIVE
of the children burned to death. The
contents Of the building was also
consumed.
The house was small and the half.
story or loft where the children slept
was reached by ladder. It seems
that the oldest child, girl nine or
ten years, succeeded in reaching the.
lower floor with the babe but some
thing fell and knocked it from her
arms, and she was unable to recover
it She is badly burned herself. It
is said that no kerosene was used a.
bout the premises, candles being
used for light, and it is quite possible,
that the fire originated from the
stove. M0nkoto Review.

MACKENZIE's RAID.

GALVESTON, Tex, June Odd
News Eagle Pass special: Generals
Mackenzie and Shafter arrived here
tonight. Their commands will ar
rive tomorrow. They penetrated
Mexico about forty five miles from
New Town, the place Of crossing,
and about eighteen miles east Of
Saragossa, where they were met by
detachment Of the Mexican army
under Col. Valedez, drawn up in line.
Of battle. The Mexican commander
inquired the purpose Of this invasion,
and informing Mackenzie that he
had orders to repel the American In
vasion, and that he (Mackenzie)
should not proceed further. The
Mexican position obstructing the
Americans progress, Mackenzie
warned them to get out Of his way,
saying that if they did not dosso by.
four o'clock that day, he would
shoot where the exicans were stand
ing, at the same time putting his
men in order Of battle; at the APP
pointed time the Americans ad-
vanced.i Their numbers appeared
to overawe the Mexicans, who hasti-s
" withdrew to safe distance, but
keeping in sight Of the American
troops, Mackenzie asked Valedez if
he intended to obstruct the Ameri-
can route again, to which Valedez
replied that it was his { Mackenzie 50
business to guard against that. He
would come soon again. Valedez
offered a detachment Of his force to
escort the Americans to the place Of
crossing. Mackenzie declined the.
offer, saying he was able to take care
of himself. However, the Mexicans
saw Mackenzie safely across the RI
yer. The Mexican force was inferi-
or to the American, hence no blame
could be attached to the Mexican Of
fcers for not attacking. No cap
lures were made during the expedi-
ton. This is the American version.

The settlers Of Burnett county,
Wis, had genuine Indian scare
last week. It was reported that the
Chippewa Indians had entered into
compact with the Sioux, for a
general uprising and an indiscrimi-
nate slaughter OF the settlers of our
borders. kilograms, frantically APP
pealing for help, were sent to the
Governor of Wisconsin, and hundreds
Of families fed from their homes.
The Burnett county settlers are most
y all Norwegians. and being unfamil-
lar with the antics of their Indian
neighbors were let to believe that
their frolics and paganism were
signs of preparations for gem
eral massacre of the whites; when in
fact the Indians were merely pre-
pairing for big dance. It appears
that one drunken or mischieyous
Indian told that his people were go
ing 10 attack the whites and was
killed for his lying by his own band;
that the sheriff fired off his pistols
to clear them and was heard but not
seen by some tinlid soul who at once
fled, reporting that the sayages had
begun shooting; and many other
similar reports have been circulated
by the fugitives. By some accident,
perhaps or possibly by some design,
the panic was started and in a
day had spread over the country.
One man left the dead body Of his
wife. Houses were left open with
all their contents exposed. Cattle
were left tied or penned. The fugi-
tives dared not stop to save any Of
their possessions.
The fugitiyes had all returned to
their homes by last Saturday even.
