A FATAL ACCIDENT.
e. w. Bennett, OF Mason valley killed.

Last Thursday afternoon, E. w.
Bennett, of Mason Valley was killed
a short distance from Greenfield, by
his team running away with a load
Of quartz and the wagon running
over him. 1t seems that he was
hauling ore from mine owned by
Dan .Emmerson and others near the
Ludwig copper mine in the valley,
and that while coming down the
grade the wagon brake refused to
act and the team started to run.
Bennett was thrown from the wag-
on, which ran over him and nearly
cut his arm off and disemboweled
him. He was found on the road by
Mr.. Gardner, who saw the team
without a driver, and following up
the road he came to the injured
man. Bennett lived about three
hours after he was hurt. He is an
old resident of the valley and leaves
a widow and many friends.

A Strange Disease.

George Plummer, of Mason Val
ley, has a cow that is afflicted with
a strange disease. Some weeks ago
the animal refused to eat much fod-
der, and later on her hide began to
crack. The hide around the ami
mails neck and shoulders has now
all turned back from the flesh leav-
ing the flesh exposed and raw. The
animal still lives but other cracks
in her hide are appearing. From
the cracks the skin rolls back like a
piece of burnt leather. 1t is the
most peculiar cattle disease ever
known, and no one seems to know
what causes it or how to cure it.

Aaron V. Swart died at his resi-
dence in Dayton last Sunday morn
ing, the Goth, ult., after severe
illness of nearly one month, from
tumor of the liver and other stomach
troubles. Mr.. Swart was a native
of New York State, and at the time
of his death was 40 years of age.
In his younger years he served his
country in the war of the Rebellion,
enlisting August 9th, 1852 in Port
Byron in the 9th New York Heavy
Artillery. In 1854 he was wound
ed before Gettysburg, nearly losing
his leg, and on August Goth, 1865,
he was honorably discharged after
having faithfully served his country
for three years. In 1877 Mr.. Swart
came to Dayton, and from that time
to his death has been a respected
and honorable citizen of this place.
He leaves a wife and two daughters
and two sons to mourn his loss. The
funeral of deceased took place Tues
day from the Odd Fellows Hall,
and under the auspices of Dayton
Lodge No. 5, I. O. o. F., of which
he was a life member in good stand
ing. The many friends of deceased
express sympathy for the family in
| its loss of a husband and father.
Following are couple of verses
handed us for publication:
Our father has passed from us away
The angels came-he could not stay;
They have taken him to their home above
Far away from..sorrow, where all is love.
In the cold earth his grave is made.
And there the form Of our dear one is laid
Never again shall We see him more.
Till we pass from this to the brighter
shore.

Arm Injured.

Thursday afternoon D. c. Fox,
who is employed in the Ophir mill,
had the misfortune to have his arm
caught in the gearing at the mill.
A piece of flesh about two inches
square was pinched out of the right
arm between the wrist and elbow.
The wound is deep one, the bone
being exposed, and some of the
small tendons and arteries being
severed. DR.. Hazlett has the in
jured man in charge, and says that
although the wound is a painful
one there is nothing dangerous
about it.

During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad, the militia were
ordered to be in readiness in case Of .
riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon ex-
cept in case of an emergency. The
emergency had not arisen, therefore
they would not be ordered out. He re-
marked that this was the first great strike
with which he had had experience, and
he did not propose to lose his head the
only point at which there had then been
serious trouble was ut Syracuse, and
there a deputy-sherif had lost his head
and precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks
and there was riotous action at various
points along the road, but the civil
authorities we're able to cope with it
without calling on the militia.
The test of mans resi- ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes
a hasty call on his good judgment and
discretion. The man who retains his
presence Of mind, maintains his equi-
poise and exercises sound discretion at
such critical junctures, is to be relied on
and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter in the face
Of danger. Otis A. Cole, of Kinsman, D.,
June 10, 1890, writes: 'In the fall Of
1883 was feeling very ill. consulted
q doctor and he said had Bright's dis
sease of the kidneys and that he would
not stand in my shoes for the state of
Ohio" But he did not lose courage or
give up; be says: 81 saw the testimonial
Of Mr.. John Coleman, 100 Gregory St.,
New Haven, Conn.,, and wrote to him.
In due time received an answer, stat
ing that the testimonial that he gave was
genuine and not overdrawn in any
particular. took good many bottles
Of Warmers Safe Cure; have not taken
any for one year"
Gov. Hill is accounted very successful
man he is cool and calculating and be-
longs to the class that do not lose their
heads when emergencies arise.
