Mrs. Michael Lischefske Of Ger
mantoWn, cottonwood county, three
weeks ago tried to save some cattle
from = burning barn and was herself
fatally burned.
Cornelius Livingston Of Northfeld,
an invalid who has shown signs Of
insanity for some time, made two at
tempts at suicide, one by cutting a
cash in his throat, and the other by
Jumping into the river. He was saw
ed both times.
At Waterville two men, named
Ananias Hanse4and Kin, encounter.
cd foul air in we'll they were Dig
ging for Ole Englebretson, about four
miles from Wateryille. Kin went
down. into the well, which was about
sixty feet deep, in q bucket, and
when about twenty feet from the bot-
tom he fell, whereupoD Hansen des.
cended, but was unable to speak
from the bottom. It was nearly ali
hour before they were rescued from
the we'll. Hansen was dead and Kin
completely exhausted, but is in a fair
way to recover.
Lewis Marcott of Centerviile, who
became insane and spent two years
at St. Peter because a girl refused to
marry him, was cured and returned
home recently. A few weeks ago the
father of the same girl promised him
his daughter if he would work ! week
on the farm. Marcott did so, and
then demanded his lady love, but for
the second time she rejected him,
and again he became insane, and is
much worse than at the first attack.
Thursday afternoon, the 22d uit., a
severe wind storm passed over Win
nebago City. Trees were blown
down and uprooted, and in the west
ern part Of town a small dwelling
house was overturned. A large
chimney was blown off McKintry's
store OH Main street. Other build.
ings were damaged to slight ex-
tent.
Young Marco, the slayer of French
Joe and wife, about whose pardon SO
much fuss was made last Fall, is still
lying in Jail at Caledonia. He is re-
ported as much emaciated and hast
ening to the grave since his rearrest
and incarceration. He would have
been tried at the Spring term Of the
court in Houston county, but it was
believed he would not live till the
next term, and so the case went over
until next Fall.
On Monday evening while board.
ers Of the Brigham house, Minneapol-
is, were throwing a ball a crowd col
lected, among them Willie, twelve
years old, son Of John B. Allen, a
teamster. While watching the ball
the lad backed onto the street Car
track, was struck by the horse at.
tached to car, and thrown directly
across the track, the front wheels
passing over his body. The child's S
mother was brought to the place, not
knowing the fatal termination Of
the accident, and, on being abruptly
told the facts, tainted.
The Worthington Advance sug-
gests that the grand army Of the Re
public erect a monument over the
grave Of ex-Gov. Miller. It seems
that before his death the ex-governor
bequeathed sum OF money. for. a
monument and the care Of his grave.
! After his death Ignatius Donnelly at.
tached his property for an old claim,
and the matter. is still in litigation.
Hence his executors are not able to
carry out his request
At Fergus Falls, recently, for 800
feet along the river, and as far back
from the stream, the earth, with
rocks, trees and all slid into the river
bed, entirely diverting the channel.
The trees remain standing in about
the same shape as before. One thing
seems strange: The springs which
trickled from the banks into the river,
we're also carried with the rush of
earth, together with a piece Of mar
shy ground, and they are still send-
ing forth their supply Of water from
their new location.
