Eric p. Mickelby has brought suit at St
Paul for sac, 900 damages against the Chi
cago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis 4 Omaha rail
road for the loss of a leg. His complaint il
as follows: On Dec. 28, 1887, he went to
Eau Claire with friends in search Ufwork. He
failed to find it and on his return, instead Of
buying a ticket to his home in Black River
Falls, he paid his way to Fairchild. At that
station he got off to see some friends and
was standing near the engine when the train
started. He got on the COW catcher and rode
to the next station. Here the engineer or
dered him to get off. The train started when
he got on the platform of the train and wai
kicked off by a brakeman. He fell under thu
wheels and had his leg cut off between the
knee and thigh.
John r. Smith, brickmaker for Contractor
Pattee, of the insane asylum work ut Yank
ton, Dak,, gives to the newspapers an afii
davit in response to statements in q Canton
dispatch of the 10th to the Pioneer Press, il
which it stated that Supt. Kean says he wal
compelled by Trustee Woolley to take infe
rior brick made by Smith because Woolley
had a mortgage on Smiths brick yard stock
Mr.. Smith swears that Trustee Woolley never
had a mortgage of any description against
him, but that Trustee =. O. Gale had o
mortgage against his brick yard stock to the
amount of $500, and that Gale turned tht
mortgage over to Contractor Pattee, and
that Pattee applied it in payment to him fol
brick used in the asylum construction. HI
further swears that this mortgage was used
to pay for the kiln of brick which Supt
Kean alleges Woolley compelled him to
take. He further swears that this kiln o.
brick was made soft on Kean's express or
der, who said he had got where he did not
need hard brick. Smith further swears that
his instructions to Pattee were to reject az
brick from his yard not satisfactory.

From Biting the Finger. Nails.

A novel accident, resulting from q
habit of very common prevalence
among nervous people, was brought
to my notice recently. A young lady
presented herself at my office, COM.
planning of a constant irritation in
her throat. Two weeks previously
she had been taken with q very Sc
we're ''sore throat, which was treated
by a neighboring physician. Under
his care, she says, the inflamation
quickly subsided, but there still re-
manned sensation of irritation.
Examination revealed a small fleshy-
looking object, about the size of q
kernel OF wheat, adherent to the It's
sues posterior to the left tonsil by one
end. The other parts of the throat were
normal. The little mass could. not
be. detached by a cotton-covered
probe, but by the use of forceps it
was easily removed, and on ex-
animation proved to be q piece of
fingernail, which had become covered
by cheesy deposit. A broken piece
of the nail was also removed from
under the mucous membrane at the
same spot by sharp-pointed probe.
The patient then confessed to the
habit of biting her fingernails, and
moreover, could remember that q day
or two previous to the onset of her
trouble q piece of nail she had bitten
off had become lost in her mouth,
but after it had caused a fit ofcough-
ing she had forgotten about it until
reminded by my discovery.-Philadel.

Suit was begun at Spokan Falls, w. T

nesses, and Rev.. William Cleveland; Dakota,
who has been laboring for the past two weeks
preparing their report for Secretary Villas,
have completed theirlabor. The report which
contains $50 pages oftype writing, with maps
and Illustrations, was forwarded to Washing
ton. Capt. Pratt said that the report con-
tains some startling revelations, which will
be read with great interest tthroughoutt the en-
tire country. 1t shows the condition OF the
Indians, how they have been treated by the
government, and the commission sees nc,
reason why the government should have any
trouble in bringing them to some terms.

lands has been regarded as an ugly job for
years, and has not been very successfully
prosecuted heretofore. Though attempted
spasmodically, the evicted parties generally
moved back next day, and nothing was
gained. Ii new tenants were put on tho
farms their stock was often shot, their fences
let down or crops destroyed. During the
litigation many Of the old settlers have died,
