A report has been published i'm nearly
every paper in Wisconsin and seme other
states that one of the private cars of Gen
eral Manager g. S. Merrill. of the st.
Paul road. had been nearly destroyed On
account of the breaking of q paper car
wheel telegram received last evening
from Mr.. Merrill denies the story, and
states that no accident of any kind had

Respecting his Patterson medical
attendance bill Of $499. 25, which first
saw the light in the columns of the ARGUS,
DR. Kinyon says that he was requested TO
prepare and present such bill, not to the
afflicted family, but to the church authori-
ties. He says, also, that the bill covered n
long period of attendance, in fact ever
since the arrival Of the family in the city,
and that he looked after their wants TO the
detriment of his general business. On the
other hand, the ARGUS learns from one of
the officers of the church that it was dis
tinctly understood that the doctors ser
vices were gratuitous. There seems, evil
IDENTIFY, to be difference of opinion.
The Ranch 10 entertainment last even
ing was greeted by small audience, one
really much smaller than the play deserved.
AS indicated by it's name it is peculiarly q
western border play of the Buffalo Bill
order, and contains many strong and strik-
ing points. Each of the characters, both
male and female from Al and Tom Nc
Clelland down was quite well sustained
and the play, in it's entirety, gave good
satisfaction. Should the same company
revisit Rock Island they wonld have a
much better house.
