:, When Mr. Bosby, of Racine, returned
home from the circus he found &
burglar in his house. He found thai
his watch and chain and 81 in money
had been stolen, and he started in pur
suit of TIE burglar, who had jumped out
of the window. The thief ran to the
grove of s. Shielding, in Mt. Pleasant
and Mr.. Shielding caught him and tried
, to hold him until Mr.. Bosby came up,
but the burglar drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot him and escaped
The residence of Mrs. Coakley was also
entered, but no yaluables were stolen.
Mrs. Barbara Scholsen was killed by
lightning in Brighton last Saturday after
noon. She had been in the field where
} her son and husband were loading hay,
and when the storm came up started for
the house. When her husband and son
reached the house she was not there
and they started out to look for her.
They found her lying dead in the field.
| The only visible mark about the body
was straight cut on the back of the
head about an inch and half long.
The parts about the wound and the
back of the neck, together with the up
per portion of the shoulders, were of a
deep purplish color, and there was a
strong sulphurous odor about the body.
The deceased, leaves husband and nine
children. A pitchfork which she was
carrying to the house may have at
tracted the lightning.
On Sunday night, about 10 O'Clock,
while Mr.. Fred c. Hannahs was return
ing home from DIR. Gillespie's he heard
girl pleading loudly with a brute who
attempted to outrage her near the resi-
dence of Mrs. Volney French on the
park to let her go. He turned back to
go TO her assistance, when her assailant
loosened his hold on her and turned on
Mr.. Hannahs with knife and stabbed
him in the arm. The cut is a severe
one, reaching to the bone. The rascal,
who proved to be Frank Stringham, was
| arrested and brought before Justice
Paddock on Monday, charged with as
sault with intent to do great bodily harm
The hearing was continued until Friday.
1t is not known who the girl was, as she
ran away as soon as she was freed from
the grasp of her assailant Stringham
says he was drunk and does not know
her
During the storm in Racine on We'd
nesday morning of last week the resi-

Matt. Gottsacker and Hettrichs Hall

last week. On Friday'evening the circus
performance at Racine was cut short by
the heavy storm, and the worst looking
crowd that ever was seen returning from
a circus could be seen in Racine that
night. More than one woman regrets
the destruction of her best hat. Mr.
David Jones, of Mt. Pleasant, had very
valuable mare killed by lightning on
Saturday, and Mr.. F. Munroe, of the
same town, lost valuable mare and colt.

We have received from Mr.. Thomas
Hartnell, formerly of this city, and now
Of Marquette, Neb., copy of the Mar
quette Independent containing an ac-
count Of the cyclone which passed over
that section on the 22d inst. Mr. Hart
nell lost ST. 800 worth of crops. He says
everything was beat to pieces even the
grass was cut off close to the ground.
The prairie chickens, quail and rabbits
were all killed where the storm fell ;
that he never saw the crops look better
than they did there just before the
storm that there was $500 worth of
glass broken in Central City. The follow
ing is from the Independent:
Perhaps one of the most disastrous
rain and hail storms that ever passed
over this section occurred Sunday even
ing. Early in the evening heavy wind
clouds could be seen approaching from
the north. When it reached the Platte
it seemed to divide, one part going south
east and the other southwest. The
storm did not follow the Platte as far
east as it generally does, but took a di-
rect southeast course and covered a
space ofabout seven miles wide, destroy
ing everything In the way of crops in its
course. When we visited the section
over which it passed we could see
nothing of the fine fields of wheat, oats
and corn that stood twenty-four hours
before. The small grain was mashed
fatter than one could cut it, and in
some places you could not tell whether
there was a grain field there or not.
