Rochester Record and Union: A little
boy of Mrs. Barney's, in this city, about
six years of age, received a dangerous
wound on the head one day this week. His
brother was splitting wood when the little
fellow ran under the uplifted axe, and it
struck him on the head, inficting a dan
gerous cut. DR.. Nose was called and
dressed the wound. The doctor thinks the
child will come out all right.

Rochester Record and Union: On Thurs
day of last week John GOrdy, of High For
est, lost his house and contents by fire.
| He had Just set down to dinner when his
little boy came IN and said the house was
on a. Mr.. Gordy went out and saw some
smoke issuing from around the chimney,

and, as he supposed, put out the fire; but
while he was after some more water the
fire burst out from under the roof on the
west side.
An exchange says: There is one industry
that might be carried on in southern Min
nesota which has heretofore received very
little attention, and that is, cutting and
bailing upland prairie hay during the sum
mer and fall months and sending it to
market during the winter. There are
thousands of tons of superb hay allowed
to 90 to waste each season in this locality
that could be made to return handsome
amount of money if it was properly put
up and sold. Each succeeding year finds
increased demand for this product in
New York and other eastern markets, and
the wonder is that our farmers have not
given the matter the consider alton its
revenue would merit.
Little Falls Independent, Feb. %: Yes
terday at 1916, while the train men from
the Little Falls &c Dakota were taking
dinner, fire broke out in the mail and
smoking car and before anything could be
done to stay the progress of the flames,
both the mail car and passenger coach
We're enveloped in fendish fire. When
discovered the train was standing on the
south branch of the Y and as soon as
possible an engine was attached and the
baggage car taken to g safe distance.
Then they coupled en- to the burning cars
and pulled them around to the water
tank, where it was found to be too late to
use the water and they were showed down

they were left to burn. The mail car con-
tanned three sacks of mail.
Faribault Republican: On Friday last
man named Patrick Harris, who lived in
the west part of Shieldsville, drove to Kill
kenny with load Of heading. On return
, ing with his empty sled he had to cross the
! railroad track, there were high snow banks
made by the snow plow, which prevented
him from seeing a train ill he was on the
track. As he was crossing he saw a train
pretty near and struck his horses. The
! team started with jerk, throwing Harris.
= who was standing upon his sled, back
y wards. He retained his hold of the lines
e as he fell, jerking back the team, which
| stopped, and the train coming up caught
. the hind part Of the sled and pushed it.
: with Harris entangled in the wreck, some
: distance, injuring him fatally. He leaves
: a family. The horses were not injured.
S A snow story, not a fish story, but about
: equally salient. The Winona Herald has
IS the following: When Capt. Bryant tells q
story, it is always a good one and contains
t a moral. The other day when he went out
II with friend to see man in Rollingstone
n he found the road badly drifted and had tc
V drive very carefully. They made about
j. two thirds of the journey in salty when all
= at once the horses missed the road auo
slipped over slanting bluff clear out OF
q sight in the flying snow. The Captain
and his friend dug them out after working
o three hours and found when they cleared
= the snow away that one of the horses ano
!, sleigh were firmly lodged in the branche;
]. of big oak tree into which they had fallen
. They tried to get them to come down, but
a failed, and finally had to go four mile:
= afoot borrow an axe and cut the tree down
The tree, the horses and the sun wen
down about the same time. They returned
/ to town without serious injury the same
o night, and will not seek to invade Rolling
. stone again until the snow melts down to
Y the tree tops at least.
