then rise and stagger away toward
his home. She directed her husbands
attention to the incident and he, go
ing to look for the lad found him on
the ground profusely bleeding. See
ing the nature of the wound, Mr.. Nj.
bound the arm tightly with his hand
kerchief, and leaving the boy went
for assistance. DIR. Mcdonald was
called as quickly as possible, dressed
the wound, and decided that ampu-
tation was necessary, but to confirm
his judgment returned to the city and
had Drs. Stansmore Vivian and A. b.
Nichols go with him to examine the
case. The three physicians were of
one mind, but for some time the boys
mother refused her consent to ampu-
tation, so that the operation was not
performed until after midnight. The
doctors considered it strongly proba-
able that their efforts might be abor-
tive, and on Monday morning had
little faith in the lads recovery; but
happily, latest symptoms encourage
hope that he will pull through.

John Collins is Released.


After several weeks of illness, John
Collins, of this city, was released
from his sufferings and "entered into
rest" Tuesday, the 22d inst, about
II 30 a. IN.
Deceased was 65 years and mos
of age. As a young man he left his
native home in Cornwall, England.
and emigrated for America, arriving
in Mineral Point in 1853. Here he
has constantly resided through the
succeeding 43 years, esteemed and
respected as an exemplary citizen
kind neighbor, a faithful husband
and an affectionate father. In 1854 he
welded Catherine Jenkins, who with
their son Charles, Of Rockford, and
their daughter, Martha, now Mrs.
Hadfield, Of Waukesha, remain to
mourn for his departure and to
cherish his memory. Interment will
be at Waukesha on Friday. Services
at the family home in this city at
30 o'clock the same morning, be-
fore the train leaves.

Republican County Ticket.

The republican county convention
at Dodgeville Tuesday did the work
assigned it carefully and well. The
candidates nominated for the several
offices are men well known to the
people, all of irreproachable personal
character, and each amply qualified
for the duties to devolve upon him
when elected.
Seven of the ten nominees are ac-
ceptably serving in the positions for
which they are renominated, to-wit:
I. /. Williams, county treasurer; ID.
G. Jones, county clerk, Thos. Gibbon,
clerk of the court; r. l.. Joiner, sur
veyor; VIM. p. Ruggles, coroner;
Emma G. Underwood, Supt. of
schools, and VIM. A. Jones, member
of Assembly.
For the other three offices, sheriff,
register of deeds and district attor-
ney, there was spirited but good ma
tured rivalry. John b. Wallis of
the town of Mineral Point was NOM
mated for sheriff on the fourth bal
lot, his competitors being Dave Grif-
fiths of Dodgeville, Henry James
of Linden, John Francis Of this city,
and Mr.. Williams Of Ridgeway.
Although w. ID. PrideauX had served
the usual limit of two terms as regis
ter, many felt that the interests of
theservice would be best conserved
by his reelection. and so expressed
by their votes. But the precedent of
1.-TWO terms and out" was applied,
and after four ballots Patrick Grant.
of Highland, was nominated, receiv-
ing 30 votes to 46 for A. Arneson, of
Brigham. For district attorney Mr..
L. w. Pollard was presented in a
strong speech by Senator Spensley,
j. p. Smokers excellent qualifica-
tions were portrayed by Capt ."Dick"
Carter, and the worth of that sterling
young republican, Arthur Jones, was
eloquently set forth by Hon. ]. w.
Rewey. The first ballot of the con-
vention was pretty evenly divided
between the three candidates, but
Mr.. Pollard steadily gained on his
competitors until on the fourth bal
lot he had the necessary so votes, a
majority over all, securing him the
nomination. The work of the con-
vention concluded with the election
of eleven delegates to represent the
county in the senatorial convention
which meets at Montfort today. We
failed to get the names Of the dele
gates. J. w. Hutchison, of this city,
is the only one Of them from this Sec
| tion of the county.

Serious Accidental Shooting.

Last Sunday, Willie, a son of VIM
Mitchell, received a terrible gunshot
wound in the right arm, necessitating
amputation near the shoulder. The
accident came through the lads using
a shotgun, held by the muzzle, to re-
move some hay that had become at
tached to a wire fence. He was alone
near his home, two miles north Of
this city, at the time. Mrs. Edward
Mitchell, his aunt, heard the shot,
and from her home saw the boy fall,
