Two Men Killed At Kas0ta,

Two men employed in cutting stone for the
Winona railroad bridge near Kasota, were
run over by the midnight freight, on the st.
Paul and Sioux City road, on Thursday morn
ing last. n being killed outright and the
other fatally injured. They are brothers and
named Thomas and Timothy O'Keefe. They
had gone to st. Peter in the evening, drank
freely of the villainous whisky sold in the sa-
looms of that place, after which they started
to return to Kasota, where they boarded, fol-
lowing the st Paul railroad track, and be-
tween the St. Peter station and Kasota, at
what is known as the Carpenter crossing, stu
pe1ed by liquor, they laid down to sleep, and
were still there when the freight train came
along. The crossing is below a curve, which
prevented the engineer seeing them in time
to stop the train. Thomas head was cut o1
and his body mangled into a shapeless mass.
The other, Timothy, had one leg crushed
above the knee and one hand injured. A boz.
tie of whisky was found in the latter's pocket
unframed. Drs. Daniels andMerrit were sent
for, but little could be don't for the wounded
man.-Mankato Review, Nov. 4.

Death Of Zach, Chandler.

Hon. Zach. Chandler, of Michigan, has
been in public life for many years. He
was a stalwart Republican, a blunt radi-
cal Republican, a fearless defender of the
principles of the party, and while he
probably had many political enemies, he
had many warm friends among all par
ties. To all these the news of his death
at Chicago, on the morning of Saturday
last, was sad intelligence. On Friday
evening he had addressed a large Chicago
audience on political matters-made his
last speech,-and in the evening retired
TO his room at the Grand Pacific Hotel, to
take his last sleep. His last words were
"good-bye" to his friend Jessie Spaulding,
of Chicago, as they separated for the
night The light went out, but the armor
was on.

He strobe at once uD to the man and

while with the other hand he seized the

however, bad had, time to pass his weapon

shots III quick succession. Bismarck felt
himself hurt in the shoulder and in one

A Romance of the War.

A gentleman well acquainted with Col

clde III California;, and an ardent admir-
er OF his poetry, relates a story told by
himself when the two spent night in
conversation, criucism and recollections,
so dear to men of his kind, over cezy

the night before the battle at which Gen
eral w. S. Lyle fell The two (Realf and
Lytle) lay together in the generals tent
they were both given to writing poetry
at such times, and each had an unfinished
poem on hand, and they read and crit

"Realf, shall never live to finish that
poem"
