The First Hand Gone.

Threshing is now full under way,
and the accident record has COM
menced. This time the man did not
feed his handinto the hungry machine,
for it had a self feeder attachment.
About IL o'clock, Saturday last a
young man named Frank Peach
working for Henry Nordman who was
running thresher near Olmitz, in
Walnut township, got his left hand
caught while putting on a belt on the
self-feeder and his forearm was bro
ken and the hand almost torn off at
the wrist. He was put into a spring
wagon and brought to town, arriving
here about 4 o'clock p. m. Doctors
Shaw, Lightfoot and Connect ampu-
tated the arm about four inches below
the elbow, putting the patient under
the influence Of an opiate during the
operation. Mr.. Peach is said to have
been a good workman. He stated
that he had no relatives in this
country. He is about % years old
and seemingly having good, strong
constitution, and it is hoped he will
survive the severe ordeal. It is indeed
a great loss to any one to be deprived
of a hand, and more deplorable to see
a young man who is thrown entirely
upon his own resources thus manned
for life.

DEMOCRATS and alliance men failed
to fuse on a county ticket in Shawnee
county, last Saturday, and we are glad
to chronicle the fact. The peoples
party leaders in that county, who are
all former republicans, had given it out
that they would not fuse, and there was
no excuse for the acts of part of the

ing in trying to bring about fusion.
Men who persisted in that effort low
cred themselves in the estimation not
only of their enemies but of their fellow
democrats who stood for a straight,
manly fight for principle.

One day last week Sheriff Wilson
discovered an elegant plan of escape
partly executed by prisoners in the
county jail. An iron rod or brace had
been procured from the bedstead, with
which a large stone had been loosened
from the north wall of the cell, and
only one more night would have been
needed to enable the prisoners to
escape. A rope which had been left
too near a window was also fshed into
the cell, and it was probably the
intention to try and spring one of The
iron doors with it should the other
method of escape fail.

Last week T. P. Nichols of Pawnee
Rock was charged with selling intoxi-

trial was set for Monday, the 10th,
before Justice J. F. Lewis. The
prosecution was conducted by county
Attorney Hotchkiss and Clark & Rus
sell, and the defense by DiGen bacher
& Banta. Most of the day was con-
sumed in taking testimony. Mr..
Nichols had sold one Mr.. Miller a
glass of cider which Mr.. M. said made
him drunk. All Of the evidence of
the defense-and it was given by a
large number of Pawnee Rocks most
creditable men-indicated that no one
else had ever got drunk on that cider,
and test made by two expert physi-
clans developed the fact that there
were no intoxicating properties in it.
Therefore when the case finally went
to the jury that body was only about
five minutes making a return of the
verdict ..Not guilty" and Mr.. Nichols
went on his way rejoicing. In the
mean time the bill for costs in the case
will come up before the county com.
missioners and in time will be paid by
the willing tax payers.
