ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE.
A Man and Span Of Horses Killed by
LiKhtmtnK:

Yesterday morning, about 8 O'Clock,
during thunder storm, man and span
of horses were killed by lightning, on the
farm Of Eugene L. Fuller, in Window
township, about ~ miles southeast OF
this city. The particulars are about as
follows: John Bass, who was killed, was
on the wagon, engaged in arranging the
bundles of wheat as they were being
pitched to him by another man. The
load was nearly completed, and they
were only short distance from the stack
when the lightning bolt struck Bass and
the horses. lie was killed instantly, as
were also the horses. The man who was
pitching the bundles 1--WE did not learn
his name) was somewhat paralyzed, bu'
will recover. A daughter of Mrs. Fuller,
who was near the stack, was also shocked
The load Of wheat lately caught
fire and it and the wagon were entirely
consumed.
Mr.. Bass was a single man, % years
old, and his parents reside on farm, near
Clayton City, Clayton county, Iowa. His
father resided IN McGregor for long
time, running the ferry boat between Nc.
Gregor and Prairie du Chen for over
eighteen years. The young man was well
thought of by his associates. His father
has been teleyraphed for, and it was ex-
pected he would arrive last evening and
take the remains home today to be bur
ried.

A DEAD MAN FOUND IN DoDBlNS CIR EEK
The Coroner'a Jury Can Give no Light
A. to Name VI Unfortunate or
Cause OF Death,

On Sunday afternoon last, the body Of
man was discovered in Dobbins Creok,
near the shore, just above Warner & Ha-

that he came to his death by drowning
but whether his death was caused by
himself, or by some other person, the

evidence given on said inquisition."
The man had lam in the water so long
that the flesh had rotted from his face
and his near relatives could not have re-

wore a fair suit of clothes and good
pair of boots. 1t ls the theory of many

his body thrown into tho creek. In the
condition Of the body, however, it was
impossible to tell whether there was any
ground for this theory.
On his person were found small pass

RunaWays.
Austin has been favored with several
runaways within few days. Runaways
are always exciting events, and the editor
rather likes to record them on that &C.
count.
We give below all the items of this kind
of which we are informed:
Last week Monday Mr. Ole G. Ander-
son, Of Udolpho, lett his team unhi;chcd
for moment in front of Taylor & Balls
grocery store, and they were not slow to
improve the opportunity. The horses
took TO their heels quite lively, taking
the north road towards home. When
near Mrs. A. virgins residence they left
the road and ran against a tree, which
refusing to 60 with them, they came to a
dead stop. The horses "a splendid team
were not injured, but the wagon and
harness were badly wrecked.
On Tuesday Of last week, Mr.. Wash
ington HulI's team left their ma ster's
premises In Austin town, some three
miles southwest of this city, and took the
straight road for Greeson's mill, at lively
pace. They crossed the river on the
bridge at the mill, then followed the road
south towards Aus,in-belng caught
when near the south bridge In this city.
The horses started with a hsy-rack on
the wagon and two or three hundred
pounds Of hay. Aside from distributing
the hay along the roadside, the establish
ment was in as perfect order when caught
as when 1t started-the horses running for
five or six miles and keeping the road all
the way. This is the longest and mos,
systematic runaway of the season.
On Friday afternoon last, Mr.. Lawrence
Geraghty hired one of Duffy & Kenne'
vans best turn.outs "for to take a rlde.'
About 6 O'Clock, the horses, minus buggy
and driver, were seen coming up the
street in the direction Of the stable, in
rather a dilapidated condition. Upon
investigation by interested parties, the
buggy was found strewn in several places
along the side of the road just the other
side Of the south bridge. 1t is said
Geraghty was somewhat under the influ
ence of the ardent, and had a young man
for companion, who was ditto. In try
ing to guide the horses, they p : lied toe
much on one line. and the buggy was up
set aud badly "scattered." TIE buggy
was frstclass, costing $3.50 when new
It has been sent to the factory in McGre'
gor for repairs. Gersghty 4 Co. should

Just for change, one Of Dave Stimson's
blacks thought he would try his metal
Last Sunday morning, stimson harnessed
and brought the little nag around to the
front door, and while arranging some
portion of the harness, she pushed Dave
one side and started. She didn't go very
far, but managed to rid the buggy of it,
top and otherwise injure the vehicle
