A Chanter of Accidents.

The wind-storm of Saturday seemed to
have opened up the gate to accidents and
mishaps. The first two happened Mon
day, one being that in which the propris-
tor of tho livery stable, A. G. Vroman,
had his left foot severely pinched while
attempting to pass through freight train
of seventeen cars The cars being switch
ed at the foot of Broadway at the time and
Mr.. Vroman, thinking he could cross be
tween the cars, set his foot in between the
bumpers when they suddenly came to-
gether. DR.. Clark was called and dressed
the injured foot, and though no bones
were broken, the foot is jammed and bruis-
ed. It was lucky escape.
The next thing on the docket was the
stable at the residence Of MIR. Carter,
north of town catching fire, by what
means is not known The fire attracted
the attention ofseveral persons down town,
but was soon extinguished.
The third accident happened at noon,
where the little son of ye editor got too
inquisitive, and, in order to test the work
ings of the cogs on the clothes-rin ger
placed his little finger between, and, be-
fore his mother could prevent, cut the top
fsaid member so that it only hung by the
skin. tits thought the finger can be saved

Saturdays Storm.

Canton was visited on last Saturday
morning by an unusually severe wind
storm, it coming from the west and north.
It lasted about half an hour and during
it's duration held everyone in awe, fearing
a repetition of the Grnnell disaster. The
lightning was very binding and bolt after
bolt were discharged in rapid succession.
About the only'damage done here was
the demolishing of portion of the second
story brick walls on the II. w. Hood and
S. c. Madole brick stores The masons
had carried the south and east walls up to
the proper height, and there rested the
work owing to the non-arrival of the iron
pillars for the west wall The damage is
considered to be about $500. The masons
are at work again and the damage will be
repaired by Saturday.
The storm was very severe at Yankton,
Scotland and Tyndall.
The storm did its work at Emmettsburg,
Hospers and in OBrien county, Iowa.
One person was killed at Sanborn and %
injured, two fatally. At Hospers it blew
down the depot building and Catholic
church, blew II cars off the side track and
damaged the homes and barns of some 20
or so farmers.
The storm was very severe at Emmetts-
burg. A large new school house was to-
tally wrecked. The buildings Of James
Boswell and George S. Evarts were totally
destroyed. Many store fronts were blown
down and several buildings wrecked. \.
P Eddie and Gales dwellings were I'M
rooted The depot of the Burlington road
was partly unroofed. The wind mills of
the Burlington and Milwaukee, roads were
blown down, Mrs. J. ?. Whites milli-
merry and dressmaking establishment was
unroofed, goods damaged, 800. The
turn table of the Burlington railway was
turned up and smashed, iron rods several
inches in diameter broken and twisted into
fragments. Many small residences and
numerous barns were blown to atoms.
Mrs. Boswell has a shoulder broken and
otherwise seriously injured. A child Of
James Boswell was badly injured. Mrs.
Forrest and child were blown ten rods and
found naked Oh the prairie with their
skulls cracked. George Souder was badly
burned hv a stove fa1lin IN him. None
we're killed so far as known. Loss in
town, $25, 900; in the country many farm
houses and barns and school houses were
blown down. Mr.. Pagan has three chill
dren badly hurt. The daughter of John
Wilson was badly hurt Some stock was
injured and some cattle and horses killed
by lightning. Rain fell in torrents during
the storm.
The storm was traced 300 miles east
and did more or less damage.

Hugo Loss.

The above gentleman allowed us, one
day this week, to examine medal which
he takes just pride in, which is no more
nor less than one presented to him by the
Queen of England for saving life at sea.
The badge is one of the size of our silver
dollars On the one side is the engraving
of the drowning captain of the English
vessel. The captain, wife and child are
on raft, floating at sea, seven days and
nights, delirious, and the child dead, un-
known to its parents. Hugo's ship stands
in the distance, with him and a few others
in the life boat going to the rescue, and
this engraving: Lord, save us we perish. "
On the reversible side is a wreath of ferns
with carrier pigeon in the center and
contains this inscription Camp and Val
laverde Medal for Saving Life at Sea,
1S47," it being the year Parliament grant
ed the act On the margin of the souv-
inor is this engraving: Hugo Loss, chiei
mate of the Barque Osterra, for having,
with boats crew, rescued survivors of the
Brig Beanmanoir, September 18th, 1878. y
The rescuing took place about four clock
in the afternoon. As Hugo leaves to-day
for Saltwater the above is very appro-
pirate.
