SINGULAR Wisconsin, relation to thu
recent killing Of Mr.. L. NJ. Strbling nj
Markham, by }. +. Gadson, two remarkable
occurrences have just come 10 light as fol
lows:
Dr. Walter Bruce, of Micanopy, Florida
recently had n very singular revelation
made to him in n way that il hard to
explain. He is Il native of Virginia, where
he married Miss Strlbling, of Fauquier coun
", some years ago, aud soon atterward re-
moved to Florida as one of the pioneers i'll
orange planting, aud has ever since beel'
actively engaged in that business. He is
well known there rs Il man Of sound judg
menl, high standing and Of the most practi-
cal ideas, AMI is far from being a believer in
any of the popular ''isus" of the day, es-
pecially SpirituallSm.
Late on the night Of Friday, December,
2S, he was awakened from n sound sleep
at his house by so strong feeling
that there was some mysterious pres
encetin his room, that he got up and lighted
a lamp aud look ed all over the house, but,
hndiuy nothing unusual, he returned To
bed aud apparently fell into light sleep III
Which there appeared to him vision OF his
wif.'s brother, H. NJ Stribling, in deadly
conflict in Which he had his throat cut III IL
most horrible manner, and WAS removed |"
a store near by, where he was placed on Il
counter, and after the apparent lapse OF l'nlc
he died from the effects OF the wound.
The vision WAS so real that Jr. Bruce
could sleep no more, and when morning
dawned he went out, but could not rlh MN
self of the very strong impression 1t had
made upon him. He related the dream, as
he called it, TO several of his friends, and Ia
ter in the day visited we'll known spirit
ualist in Gainesville, who told him that some
awful calamity must have befalen young
Stribliug. And, sure enough, the next mail
from Virginia brought DIR. Bruce letter an
nouncing the death Of his brolher-n law IN
the exact manner he had seen and at the
very hour he had appeared to him Ill MS
vision.
A sister Of the murdered man visiting re-
lationsi in Kentucky at the time of his death,
had similar dream, and. while relating 1t
ut the breakfast table, was banded dis
patch announcing its fulhilment.
