in the west, the fraternity can do no better
than give him their orders, for anything they
may need in his line of business. ~
The Potosf Independent of the sth inst.
contains the following interesting item: sWe
learn that Mr.. James Brierton has received
information from the directors Of the Ozark
Railroad company, which is TO commence
at Irondale and run up Big River and thence
southwesteriy to the head of White River
that work will undoubtedly be commenced
at anearly day. The business interests of
st. Louis undoubtedly demand the early
completion of this road as the new road from
Kansas City to Memphis is diverting an i'm
mense business to Kansas City which legiti-
mately and naturally should go to st. Louis.
For reasons which we are sure our readers
will consider ample-sickness in our family
several items of interest as well as Of per-
sonal nature Were overlooked last week;
among those was one in reference to Judge
Fox, Of Fredericktown, who held the late
term of circuit court for this county. An
able jurist,aH impartial judge, and courteous
gentleman, he won largely upon the hearts
Of Iron county. His rulings were rarely
"objected to, )" and although our 26th circuit
lawyers are bright and full Of light, he held
them perfectly level. He win see the folks
again about the time of the Commencement
Exercises at the College. The Judge always
attends them, and it is remarkable how well

then and there do congregate.
An Englishman whose name we have not
learned was rather seriously hurt in Tunnel
No. 3 on the Knob last Saturday. While at
work lump of loose ore from the roof fell
upon him, striking his leg and breaking it
in two places-a simple fracture above the
knee and q compound fracture below. He
was brought to Ironton and the doctors fixed
him up temporarily, when he was sent up to
the Sisters Hospital I'm st. Louis. The in
jured man was newcomer, and not well
posted as to the means usually employed by
the miners to assure their safety. He went
to work in the place where he received his
hurt without first trying the roofhere quite
low and easily reached from the foor-al-

The team belongingto Mr.. w. n. Thorn
SON, of st. Louis, driven by Nose Hawkins,
ran away last Friday morning. The team
was left standing hitched in front of the
Arcadia Valley mill, while the driver went
into the mill on some business. The team
became scared at something, broke loose,
and started. They ran past Lopez's up to
Davis; then around the entire block until
they got on Main Street again. They then
ran down Main Street as far as Grand
homme's, where they brought up among
some horses tied to the rack. No damage
was done, and five minutes afterwards no
one would have ever thought they had been
in runaway If they had not looked so tired
especially the driver who had followed
the team all the way on their hasty trip
round the town. - s.-5.-fs .5f.ftsi'
