The City Reservoir on Wisconsin
street, near j. II. Kimball's barn, is in
a dangerous condition. On Monday,
as the servant girl was out with the
little children of Mr.. Charles Poggi,
who lives near this reservoir, his little
girl, about three years old, fell through
the mouth of the reservoir into the
water, and only escaped drowning by
the presence of mind of the girl, who,
with great difficulty rescued her.
The mouth of this reservoir is only
protected by small, loose board, which
any child can remove.

man, Mr.. Henry Tymesen, caught him by
the bride, and were dragged along to q fence
on the premises. A roller lay in the road
and Mr.. Newbury struck against it, break
ing one of his ribs. Mr.. Tymesen struck
against something and had two of his ribs
broken, and the buggy was upset and Mrs
Newbury and child thrown out, but fortu-
nately they escaped with but slight injuries.

The neat and snowy bills of the
Lake County Fair, to be held at Wau-
kegan, Sept. ~ to 80, inclusive, and on
Oct. and 2, which have been posted
in this city this week, indicate n good
degree of interest in the subject in
that county, and a determination to
make it the best of the many good
fairs they have had at Waukegan.
The premium list shows a generosity
on the part of the management which
must insure good degree of COMPETE
ton in the display of stock, agricultu-
raj products and machinery. During
tho last four days the trotting contests
will transpire, and the inducements
offered must insure good display in
this direction. The music by Nevins'
Band, which has been engaged for the
occasion, will be such as this famous
band always discourses. The man.
agement have arranged with the Rail-
way Company for reduced rates for
visitors to the fair, and we bespeak
| for our neighbors what they deserve
for their enterprise in these things,
a profitable and successful time.
| A somewhat curious incident oc-
Cured in this Vicinity last week. 1t
seems that some years ago Mrs. Carrie
Lee, of this city, was robbed, among
other valuables, Of costly watch and
chain, which, from associations con-
nected with it, she priced very highly.
A servant in the family, by the name
of Greer, was suspected. She had been
recently discharged and sent to live
with an abandoned fellow by the name
of John Bingham. Detectives were
lemployed, and finally proof was found
ljustifying the suspicion. The girl
stated that she gave the watch to
Bingham, who buried it in an oyster
can at a place named. Search was
