Mrs. Dunning will receive the encour-
agement she deserves at the opening
/ of another term.
/ On Tuesday morning horse and
wagon belonging to Mr.. James Fox, Of
Pleasant Prairie, was stopped at the
drinking fountain near the post Office
by a boy who was driving it, the boy
going to the fountain to get a drink.
The horse becoming frightened, started
to run, and ran west on Market street
to the Court House, where the seat Of
the wagon was thrown out. The horse
kept on to the railway, where he was
stopped. Nothing broken and no one
| injured.
AS Mr.. James Cole was returning
from the races on Monday evening his
horse ran into COW on Grand street,
just west Of the depot. Mr.. Cole and
Mr.. Watson, who were in the wagon,
were both thrown out, the former suf-
fering a fracture Of his arm in two
places, above and below the elbow.
The horse ran, down Grand street to
the depot, striking against wagon on
the way and breaking an axletree, and,
running into the cars standing there,
brought up, swung around and fell
over on to the platform Of the depot,
when he was captured. The injury
received by Mr.. Cole is very serious
one, and will disable him for some
time.
On Friday and Saturday the suit Of
the state against George LaMarsh, for
malicious injury to the property Of
William Hartung, was on trial before
Justice Stebbins. 1t was alleged that
LaMarsh, about two years ago, through
some spite against Hartung, smeared
the newly-painted house of the latter
with a compound of fish oil and lamp
black. Eminent counsel were en-
gagged on both sides, and the case re-
suited in LaMarsh being fined S25 and
costs. He Immediately took an appeal
to the Circuit Court.
On Saturday, as Mr.. Michael O'Brien
backed his team up to car at the
depot, for the purpose of taking on a
load of freight. they started to run
away without any apparent cause, ex-
cept the pure cussedness Of the ami
mails. They dashed along to the cor
ner of Market street and then down
Market to Main street and south on
Main street to John Schmitt's store,
where they ran against the horse and
wagon of Mr.. Edward Briggs, of Som
ers, the shaft of Mr.. Briggs wagon
striking and entering the nigh horse of
Mr.. O'Brien's team at the breast be-
tween his fore legs. Briggs horse
started in opposite direction, pushing
the shaft still further into the I'M
fortunate horse to the extent of about
two feet, when it was finally extricat-
ed. After two hours Of suffering the
horse died. This is great loss to Mr.
O'Brien, the team having been sold for
$40, and was to have been delivered
on Tuesday or Wednesday. The hind
wheels Of the wagon were smashed off
against u post in front of Fassbinder's
saloon.
Of the production Of the beautiful
drama among the Breakers" by the
Temple Of Honor Dramatic Club, on
Saturday night last, we have naught
to say bat praise. The audience was
large and appreciative, and the several
characters were personated il man
ner exceedingly creditable. We do
not mean that the performance was
beyond criticism, but we do mean that
for amateur performers the club
are deserving Of every commentator
for the manner in which they produced
this play. The principal role of "The
Keeper Of Fairpoint Light difficult
one, requiring the expression Of deep
seated revenge, followed by crushing
remorse, was assumed by Mr.. F. B.
Dunning with great ability and effect.
Mr.. E. G.. Harmon, as "Scud," more
than sustained his previous reputation
as humorist. Miss Dawson did her
self great credit as Mother Carey"
as did Mr.. Jackson in the humorous
character Of Peter Paragraph" Miss
McDermott, Miss Wharton and Miss
Biegert also sustained themselves ex-
