On Sunday night last Joseph Buregard
a stave cutter in the factory OF Mr.. A. w.
Lee, at Deshler, was found near the de-
pot on the track Of the B & .. Road +,
and his body was mangled in most shock
ing manner. The supposition was that
Buregard had attempted to board the
west bound passenger tram, in state oil
ntoxicatIon, and fell under the wheels Of
the train with the above result.
A correspondent OF the Toledo Bee, Of
Tueaday, thus speaks of the inhumaniiy
of the Deshler people in providing for the
burial Of the unfortunate victim:
Joe Buregard, who was killed at this
place last Sunday evening, about half-psst
10 o'clock, was taken to the depot, and his
mapgled remains were left lying on a
truck on the depot platform from th
time until 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
They were then dumped into rough box
just as they had been gathered up, without
washing, with one boot on the leg that was
not cut off, and the other boot thrown in
TO the box. The box was then carled
away into the woods some distance and
buried

inhuman treatment ever witnessed In thi'

Your correspondents from Milton and

workings of the machine in this county.
Never in the history of Wood county has
the hand of the clique and ring politicians
been so visibly seen as now. Every candi-
date is to be slaughtered tha stands in the
way OF their success. II it cannot be dore

polls. The Sheriff and Probate Judge
officers are the bone OF contention plenty
of candidates for each and generally very
good men. In the common walks OF life
they are looked upon as men above re-
proacl, but If the stories OF the ring-mas-
ters and their agents are to be believed
many of them are fit subjects for the peni-
tentiary. Combinations are forming
which includes both Republicans and
Democrats. The object is TO elect Dem
ocratic sheriff and Republican Probate
Judge, If the Republicans nominate the
ring man, il not, he or his brother .in.law
is TO be nominated on the Democratic
ticket, and thus complete the arrangement
They huve surrounded the Probate Court

make money at the expense OF the widows
and orphans of the county Hill stands
in the way of that, hence he must be de-
feated Mt all hazards, even if they must
take Democrat. There has been nm ef-
fort made by the ring men to have Dem.
ocrat nominated ON the Republican ticket
for sheriff, but they zee that won't win and
now they are planning to defeat in the
convention every msn that they think
could be elected on the Republican ticket
and nom mate some weak man Tor the pur.
pose. of slaughierng him at the polls.
Now these are the men who claim tV be
