A traveller for Detroit wholesale
grocery house was the other day MAX
ing trip between two northern coun-
try towns with a sleigh when one of the
horses were taken sick and he drew up
at farm house and inquired if he could
put the animal out and rest him until
he recovered. r.
"You can," replied the woman, ''but
Iwant to warn you in advance that I
have run away from my husband on two
different occasions once with drover,.
and once with a mapseller:" ;,
"Well, what of it,"
teYou1l find out as soon as the old
man comes up from the slashing!~ He'll
think you are after me, and 'therell be

him."
"Don't you wait to explain nothing y
she continued; "he1l go for You with
out word, and if you can't wallop him
hell give you the worst licking stran-
ger ever got!"
The horse was too ill to go on, and
the agent had no recourse but to stay
and face the music. He was at the
barn rubbing the animal down, when
the old man suddenly showed himself
at the door. Waiting just long enough
to draw full breath he made break
for the traveller. The latter dropped
his?wisps Of hay and felt of the farmers
right eye in way that laid him fiat,
He got up and came again, but was re-
ceived with a singer on the jaw, and as
he went down the traveller got him by
the throat and held him fast. By and
by, when he dared let up q little, he ex-
planned s>, ..,..t-,r y ,zyrt -
+ was forced to stop here and take
care of sick horse. :" s-tt< il 81 o.,
well that's all right" replied the
farmer. ...,.s.-~'
i {, let me up and I'll rub him" -
He was assisted to his feet and went
TO work with considerable heart. BY
and by he went to the house and had
his eye bound up, and when supper was
ready he insisted that the traveller
should eat with him. Not cent would
he take when the latter was ready to go
bnt extending his hand he said

Another interesting historical movement is t
secure the completion of the monument to the
memory of Mary, the mother of Washington
which stands unfinished at her former home in
Westmoreland county, Va, where Washington
was born. The monument was commenced
fifty years ago. A bill to appropriate the
money to complete the monument was reported
favorably in the Forty third congress, ten years
ago, but was never acted upon Representa-

cured in any part Of the earth over

determined to place the house on record on the
rs Irish question and he will Probsh have
the steamer ALERT, which the British govern
nlent has rendered for the Greedy relief expedi-
ton, comes up. The only question that can
come before the houseis whether congress shall
return a vote Of thanks, and this Finerty is de-
termined to prevent Hetakes the position that
the acceptance of the vessel is an insult to the
Irish-American citizens of the country, and
every congressman who expressed his approval
will find himself opposed by the Irish American
vote. The representatives from Irish districts
are already beginning to feel little nervous
aboutit, and will probably vote with Finerty.

8 On Aug. 25, Ole Rogn, ST, of the
.town of Wang, Renville county, told
bis. neighbors that. his wife, Gertrude
%. Rogn, lad committed suicide by
throwing herself down the well; that he
tried to save her, but as he was drawing
her up the rope broke, and before he
could get another one she was dead:
None OF the neighbors seemed to doubt
her husbands story as to the cause Of
her death. No inquest was held, as
there should have been, the people
about there being ignorant Of the law,
and the woman was buried. A few
days ago it had begun to be whispered
about that Rogn had murdered his wife.
This coming to Rogn's, ears he sold his
farm and all his personal property, and
On the 18th inst, took the train at Sa-
cred Heart for st. Paul. He was arres-
ted at Bird island by Officer Lewis up
on receipt of a telegram from Sheriff
a. O. Field. ~ -. ...,.r
Rogn used to abuse his wife, and on
on the morning of her death he struck
her with stove-lid, cutting a
large cash in her arm, knocked her
down and kicked her in the head and
body, took her by the feet and dragged
her about the room. Finally, the wom-
an, dazed and. blinded by the blood
flowing from the wounds in her face,
escaped from his clutches and ran out
of the house, her husband after her.
Not knowing where she was going, she
ran into the open WELL. which was
usually covered with a loose board.
Whether Rogn made any effort to get
her out is not known by the sheriff.
The whole performance was witnessed
by Mrs. Anna Lumkum, who was work.
ing for Rogn, her eleven-year-old girl,
and by four or five others, but strange
as it may seem, none of them ever said
word about it until a few days ago.
They did not want to get into trouble,
and have to 60 to court as witnesses, is
the reason some of them give for not
speaking at the time.
