Monday evening, August "a, 1891, at the

while the bridal party were taking
their positions for the marriage service.
The wedding guests were confined to
the relatives of the contracting parties,
no invitations having been extended

ing this curtailment the company pres
ent was by no means small, and neither
was the occasion wanting in that joy
BUSINESS and pleasure which was in
happy keeping with the important
event those assembled had come to-
gether to celebrate. The beautiful
floral display in the rooms, together
with the splendid refreshments which
had been provided, served as addi-
t1onal charms to the scene of festivities.
The numerous choice, handsome and
costly gifts presented to the bride were
ample testimony of the high regard
and esteem she is held in by those who
know her best, and from all was the
hope expressed that the union of the
pair so auspiciously begun might be
one of prolonged happiness and pros
perity.

Killed in the Richards Cut.

At 2:30 o'clock last Thursday morn
ing, William Mccain was run over and
killed by a freight train going west on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
way, the accident occurring in the
Richards cut, about a quarter of a mile
east of the depot. Mccain was asleep
and lying directly across the track
when struck. The engineer Of the
train, William Washburn, of Portage,
saw the man when within about forty
feet of him, but as the grade is quite
steep at that point the train could not
be stopped before passing over him.
The body was mutilated and mangled
beyond recognition, and death, OF
course, must have been instantaneous.
The body was brought to the old en-
CINE house and viewed by coroner's
Jury empanelled by Justice Stacy.
Their verdict was accidental death, FOR
which no blame could be attached to
the railway company.
Deceased was brother of Mrs II .
Monaghan, of the town of Watertown,
with whom he was making his home,
having come recently from the piner-
les, where he had worked for some
years past during the cutting season.
He was about As years of age andlun-
married. Mccain numbers abouf1 the
sixth person who has. met death Hlthe
Richards cut. 1t is a dangerous place,
and no one in his sober nom er&sswill
think of travelling through it IN, the
night time.

The Cody Case Again.

The Doctor Cody case, which has
again in a new and disgusting phase.
It has been limited at for some time
that the. doctor has not been properly
cared for and that he: was really suffer
ing from neglect, if not want. AS re-
medy for his case a. guardian was ap-
piled for and the matter came before
Judge Colonius at Jefferson yesterday.
The hearing was adjourned one week
and during the interim. DIR. Cody was
placed under the personal care of the
superintendent of the County Insane
asylum, where he was taken yesterday
in. charge of Marshal Kerr. When the
officers arrived at the house to carry
out the order Of the court, William
Cody placed every obstacle in the way
to prevent the house from being en-
tered, all the doors being locked and
the windows fastened. Further than
this he said his father WAS not in the
house, but at Sullivan's eight miles dis
tant. By breaking open door the of
fcers an1 others, found a way to enter
the house. The sight that met their
eyes is almost beyond belief and it's
impress will ever remain on their mem
DRY. Doctor Cody was found in per-
fectly nude condition, save few strips
of cotton cloth which were around his
neck and the general surroundings
were of the most disgusting character.
He plead with his callers to give
him something to eat. The rooms
of this once elegant home we're reeking
in filth of all kinds, and emitted
abominable smells, bearing more of
the evidence of pig stye than hui
man habitation. Among those who
witnessed this scene were Qrs. Whyte
and Werner, f. B. Tuttle, DIR. Cody's
lifelong friend DIR. E. Johnson and
others. There were few dry eyes
among them at the sight of such utter
neglect, misery and restitution. 1t is
a great wonder that this thing has been
allowed to run SO long without apply
ing the proper remedy. Dr. Cody has
ample means to secure him a comfort
able living for the remainder of his
days and our community should see to
| it that his rights are maintained.
