While Mr.. Arthur Nichols
with his wife and baby were
driving home last Monday even
ing the king bolt of the buggy
from some cause came out, the
horse starting up threw the
occupants Of the buggy out up
on the frozen ground. The baby
was stunned by the fall, and it
was at first feared that it had
sustained serious injuries, but
came around shortly after. Mr..
and Mrs. Nichols were not ser
iously hurt, but received some
scratches and a bad shaking up
by their unpleasant experience.
The horses mentioned last
week as being stolen from Peter
Corson Of Melrose, were recover
ed this week, the party who had
taken them being arrested at
Browns Valley on a charge of
burglary. He is also charged
with stealing wheat in Big Stone
county, and we understand he is
now in charge Of sheriff RAJ
dali, of that county. All the cir
cumstances in the horse stealing
pointed to the fact that the
horses were taken by some one
acquainted with the premises,
and it is believed the man arrest
ed, who gave his name as Kelly,
has been more or less of a hang

summer seasons for year or SO
