i Mr.. M. Baltes, of Pleasant Prairie, is
exercising his inventive genius on a
horse shoe. 1t is concave shoe, with
out calks, and gives a bearing on every
part of the rim OF the hoof. It is easy
for the horse, giving him an even and
perfect balance, and must be an excel
lent device for contracted hoofs, as the
bearing is perfectly natural and allows
the hoof to come in contact with the
ground, thus being beneficial to the hoof.
Mr.. Baltis intends to get his invention
patented.

Deacon Addison B. Partridge died at
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. E.
P. Earle. Chicago, on the 18th inst.
aged 81 years, after long illness, of
paralysis. Mr.. Partridge was an honor
ed and patriotic citizen, active in church
and educational matters, influential In
politics, first as Free Soiler, and after
wards as a Republican, and for some
months during the war, although past
military age, Lieutenant in the Ninety
sixth Regiment Illinois Volunteers,
made up largely from this county. His
health was broken by his army service,
and he had for some years past been
incapacitated for active work. His only
surviving sons, Messrs. G. A. and H. E.
Partridge, are residents of Waukegan,
and were for many years publishers of

Adam Dauben, who is engaged driy-
ing N. R. Allen & Sons team, stepped
on to the pole of the wagon at Mr.. Chas.
Aliens house on Tuesday afternoon to
adjust the lines, and the horses became
frightened and ran away. They tore
through Main street at high rate of
speed, with Dauben on the pole, holding
on to the lines with one hand and to
the wagon box with the other, and all
who saw him felt sure that he was riding
to his death. When opposite John
Funck's saloon the wagon box bounded
up in the air and he lost his hold of it.
He chung to the pole until opposite w.
E. Reeds store, when the wagon box
again jumped into the air. Just at this
point Dauben loosened his hold on the
pole, dropped to the ground, and fell
under the wagon, escaping without a
scratch or bruise. All who saw the
position he was in say it was the most
miraculous escape from death they ever
witnessed. To Mr.. Peter Jacobs Mr.. |
Henry Tilley owes his life. Mr.. Jacobs
was in the First National Bank and saw
the team coming down the street at
breakneck speed and Mr.. Tilley ON his
clutches crossing the square. He rush.
ed out of the bank, caught Mr.. Tilley |
under his arm and swung him out of
the way just as the team rushed by,
greatly at the risk ofhis own life. How
narrow both escaped may be imagined
from the fact that the wagon collided
with the hitching and sign posts in front
of Mr.. Bain's store, knocking them
down and throwing both horses to the |
ground. 1t is also remarkable that the |
horses, wagon and harness escaped with
out serious injury. |

of Main street bridge and six feet from

Dor. The unfortunate man came here
from Brighton OIL the noon train on |
the 1st inst. He was last seen alive
in an intoxicated condition about mid
night of the same night, on the north
side of the river, and there is no doubt
but that be started to come over the
bridge, missed the sidewalk, and
walked into the water. His untim ely
death is a terribly sad blow to his
family. especially his two daughters
both of whom have lost their hus-
bands since the day he was drowned
His hat was on his head when found
and between 81 and $12 were found in
his pockets. His remains were taken
to Brighton Wednesday morning for
interment. Coroner Tarbell held an
inquest on Tuesday afternoon, and the
jury returned Il verdict that he came
to his death by accidental drowning
by falling into the harbor on the 1st
day of May, near the north end of

who sell liquor to men until they lose
their reason should be held responsible
for any accident that happens to them
