The earth slides and snow blockades on

Mayville cor. Globe: We have 1t from
reliable source that there is q case of desti-
tuition and abuse in the Buckhorn district,
which for barbarity aud downright yicious-
ness could hardly be exceIIed among the
savages. A poor woman, who is so badly
afflicted with rheumatism that she is utterly
helpless, informed a neignbor who went to
see her that her brutal husband has tortured
her for months In the most heGrtless and
shameless manner, starving her and beating
her into insensibilitv often. The unfortu-
nate woman showed this neighbor num-
Der of marks on her neck caused by this
vicious brute choking her, and begged her
to inform the neighbors SO that she could
be rescued before he would kill her. She
said few days ago she sent to neighbor
for small piece of meat with which to
keep herself from starving, and when her
husband" saw 1t he threw it out and
struck her with his fist We understand
this man-if he can be called such-is fully
able to properly provide for his family, and
that if he had his just dues he would be in
the "'pen" long before this. His brutal con-
dnct has caused good deal of dangerous
excitement among the neighbors, and it
would not surprise to hear of a tar-and-
feathelng some of these nights, if not a
necktie party in which this bsast.iu ques-
ton will be the leading star.
