Shea drove six deer within about forty rods

was out starting new threshing machine in
Dodge county, when he accidentally drove q
machine tooth into his right hand near the
base of his thumb. The wound has since
been very painful, and it is supposed that

cause of its not healing up be-
fore this time. * &

Rice county, had tumor taken off her
tongue. The tumor was one inch long,
three-fourths of an inch broad, and half an

body else had already done that thing. The

idea. 1t looks as though We had 'profes-
s1onal among US. distressing
accident happened at Winnebago rairie: 4
family by the name of Lules had attived but
q day or two before from Pittsburgh and
gone on to Mr.. ]. F. Stevenson's farm. A
little son, about years of age, was playing

an old resident and highly respected farmer
of Spring Garden, south OF this village, died

night, and was sleeping in room down
stairs with one of his children. His wife
occupied an adjoining room, and his hi ed
man was abed up stairs. Shortly after all
had retired, the hired man heard Nelson
grooming, and called Mrs. Nelson; both of
them entered Nelson's room, but were un-
able to relieve the unfortunate man, who
expired within half an hour. Drs Conley
and Daniels held q post mortem examina-
ton upon the body, and found the vital
organs in a healthy condition. There is
by strychnine, but the question as to wheth-
er it was taken with suicidal intent or ad-
ministered with the design of numbering
Nelson, is an open one. Coroner Park, Of
Red Wing. was notified of the occurrence
but as yet has taken no action upon it.
