McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1885-02-19
A very painful accident befel Mrs. J.

while passenger on 40, between Cul
bcrtson and McCook. In passing Johr
Farleys place, just east of town, one
of the boys, who was engaged in digging
a we'll near the track, thoughtlesslJ
threw clod at the passing train, unfor
tunately striking the window where
Mrs. Fisher was sitting. The stone
passed through the window and hit the
lady in the eye, cutting quite a cash.
Eleven smaller gashes were made by
pieces of glass, two pieces lodging in
her eye. Upon reaching this station
medical aid was summoned, and the
particles of glass extracted from face
and eye Mrs. Fishers nerves were
considerably shattered for the time by
the accident. They wendell their way
homeward, Tuesday. The matter was
satisfactorily settled by Mr.. Farley.
Although the accident was unintention-
al, it should nevertheless be lifelong
lesson to the boy, who feels sorry in
deed for his thoughtlessness.
1t appears to be somewhat uncom-
Portable to life and limb to be found out
late, these nights, without being able
to give satisfactory (O account of ones
self-and to do it in hurry. Last
Thursday evening, an individual whose
business requires his being out at al
most all hours of the night, happened
to come down one of our public streets
behind young couple, (male and female
were they and being accosted by the
male as to his particular business, and
failing to give satisfactory response,
the male proceeded to polish off the
frst-named individual in the highest
style of the pugilistic art-stretching
the f. n. i. on the ground and tramping
on him. An eyewitness to the affair
gives our reporter the facts, and further
deposes that the assailant was rather
previous in his conclusions and his at
tack on the individual, whom he accused
of following him and companion.

AN eastern paper speaks of roller
skating in the following commendatory
manner: ats destinations are indescrib-
able, and, unlike other sports, it is high
ly recommended by physicians and cler-
gymen. 1t has proved seriously detri-
mental to liquor and billiard saloons.
The youth of to day, instead Of spend
ing his evenings in playing s'pool for
the drinks can now be seen wheeling
around the skating floor with some lady
companion, and instead of coming from
his sport with calow and whitened com
plexion, he energies from his exhilarat-
ing exercise with the glow of health in
every feature.
We received pleasant call from c.
p. Russell and j. P. Mathes, Monday.

on the lot adjoining Spanogle & Rinker
on Main Avenue, the latter part of the
present or first of next week. Mr. Rus
sell is now engaged in the cattle bust
ness in Rawlins county.
The general supposition is that edi-
tors enjoy the eonsummation of their
labors in the world celestial, but friend
anticipates our future bliss, and squares
a debt of gratitude he owes us by send
ing us handsome Comic valentine,
in payment of "A puff recently rendered
him in THE TRIBUNE"
