rested.
On Aug. %, Ole Rogn, ST., of the
town Of Wang, Renville county, told
his neighbors that his wife. Gertrude
o. Rogn, had committed suicide by
Showing herself down the well; that he
tried to save her, but as he was drawing
her up the rope broke, and before he
could get another one she was dead.
None OF the neighbors seemed to doubt
her husbands story as to the cause of
her death. No inquest was held, as
there should have been, the people
about there being ignorant Of the law,
and the woman was buried. A few
days ago it had begun to be whispered
about that Rogn had murdered his wife.
This coming to Rogn's ears he sold his
farm and all his personal property, and
on the 18th inst, took the train at Sa-
cred Heart for st: Paul: He was ares
ted at Bird Island by Officer Lewis up
on receipt of telegram from Sheriff
H. o. Field.
Rogn used to abuse his wife, and on
on the morning of her death he struck
her with q stove-lid, cutting
large cash in, her arm, knocked her
down and kicked her in the head and
body, took her by the feet and dragged
her about the room. Finally, the wom-
an, dazed and blinded by the blood
flowing from the wounds in her face,
escaped from his clutches and ran out
of the house, her husband after her.
Not knowing where she was going, she
ran into the open we'll, which was
usually covered with a loose board.
Whether Rogn made any effort to get
her out is not known by the sheriff.
The whole performance was witnessed
by Mrs. Anna Lumkum, who was work
ing for Rogn, her eleven-year-old girl,
and by four or five others, but strange
as it may seem, none of them ever said
a word about it until few days ago.
They did not want to get into trouble,
and have to go to court as witnesses, is
the reason some of them give for not
speaking at the time.

MidGlcEurg Items.

Everything is very quiet with us at pres
ent and the news items are very scarce, there
fore, we arc almost afraid to undertake the
task of writing this week but will endeavor
to do the best we can under the ,circumstan-
Ces.
The revival that has been in progress for
the past two weeks in this place has not met
with much success there was only one con-
vert during the meeting. However it was
not the fault of Rev. Haskell, as he made ev-
cry effort he possibly could TO make it sue
cess.
Quite number Of cases of measels have
been reported in our community although
none very serious. There is also one case of
humps.
There will he many changes made on the
lst of April 1884, in our little village, Quite
number will leave the place and as many
new citizens will take the places of those
who leave. Mr.. d. Lynn who has for the
past three years successfully conducted the
Lynn House" will on April 1st hand it over
to the care of Mr.. z. c. Otto. We have ev-
cry confidence in Mr.. o. as a hotel man, and
we feel confident that the old Lynn House
will go on with the same reputation it has
always had In the past. We wish Mr.. o. all
the success possible for him to have.
We notice the old soldiers of Taneytown
are making an effort towards raising q g. A.
II. Post. There is about sixty of them in
that vicinity. The question is, will they be
as successful in Taneytown as Prof Gund-
rum was in organizing the G. A. r. in Me-
chancstown.
The young as well as the older folks of
this community are enjoying the sleighing
seat on and the wee little folks are overjoyed
with the coasting. No accidents to report.
Mr.. D. 4. Buckley of this place, has hauled
about 5000 bushels of lime from the kns at
Woodsboro during the dull winter months.
We understand he will haul 1000 bushels
more before spring sets in, to place on his
valuable farm. Mr.. B. knows how to farm to
an advantage to be successful.
Mr.. Chas. Harry, formerly Of Graceham,
but lately Of Bruceville, will on April 1st
move to this place and carry on shoemak-
ing. We are pleased to learn that Mr.. II. is
coming, as we have spent one year without
the above tradesman and we find it very in
convenient We therefore welcome him to
Middleburg
Mr.. Ad. McKeeney has returned to New
Jersey to enter upon his duties in the race
horse business, We wish AID. good luck and
plenty Of it.
Rev. Haskell on Sunday evening last
preached to one of the largest congregations
we have seen attend our church during our
stay in Middleburg. The church was crowd
ed to overlooking, standing room was in de-
mand. There was 70 sleighs standing around
the church.
Mr. Jas Landers drove from this place to
Westminster in one hour and ten minutes
distance IA miles. James does not claim to
have fast horse, but we think it was good
! drive. READER.

DEATH OF JACOB ZILER.-Jacob Zilcr well
known along the Baltimore ard Ohio Rail
road between Cumberland, Md, and Mar
tinsburg W. Va, died at Paw-Paw, w Va,
on Saturday of consumption at the age of
81. The deceased had very hasty temper,
which led on more than one occasion to
bloodshed. About three years ago he had
several quarrels with Newton Largent end
ing in the killing of Largent by Ziler. This
act preyed on Ziler's mind and perhaps hast
ened his death. In the first ARRAY with Lar
gent, six months before the killing Ziler re-
ceived severe cut in the neck, severing the
outer jugular. A colored man, who was
present, had presence of mind to compress
the vein with his thumb, which he held upon
it until physician came, saving Zilers life.
This colored man died last Wednesday.
1t was at the time of the killing of Mr..
Largent, that, having an invitation to make
a deerhunt at PawPaw, we made the trip.
| 1t was with Mr.. Largent that we were to
hunt and at his brother-in-law's, Mr. s. D.
Moser, that we were to stop; we also had a
letter of introduction to Mr.. Zilcr and these
parties were all in any way known by us in
PawPaw, SO that when we arrived, shortly
after the murder, we were confronted with a
curious complication of troubles, which
served to damp materially the ardor of our
pursuit of enjoyment. 1t was also on this
trip, AZ q strange house in the mountain and
after Ii ghtc,ll, that we witnessed the burst
ing of varicose vein, from which the lady
of the house came near bleeding to death in
all trip, marked principally by alarming
situations

A BILL to amend one of the charter priv
ilegcs Of the Corporation Of Mechancstown
has been prepared and sent to the Maryland
Legislature. Knowing, as we do the ma
ture of the proposed amendment, wcare pre-
pared to see it meet with most determined
opposition, but as it will ask only for privil-
eyes enjoyed by others in this county no
more entitled TO them than are the people of
Mechanicstown, we will be content to have
it prepared and discuss ed and meet its fate
on its merits. We trust that the brethren of
the County Press will observe carefully the
disposition of the Legislature, its commit
tees, or the Frederick County delegation in
the matter of this local law, for despite our
convictions upon the subject generally, we
confess to feeling of qualification, that the
point of the issue that we have been cndeav
oring to thrust upon the taxpayers of the
county, is almost wholly embodied in this
apparently innocent public local law. We
shall take pleasure in again referring to this
subject.
