To Whom it may Concern:
It may be somewhat unusual for the
officials of town to take the trouble
to give q letter of recommendation to
a travelling show or circus passing
over the country, but in this instance,
in which the proprietors and managers
are perfect gentlemen, and everything
in connection with the aggregation of
q very high order, we take pleasure In
recommending to the public Campbell
Brothers. show.
They gave two exhibitions here yest-
erday, and more orderly, better con-
Quoted and pleasant entertainment
could not be afforded.
If the Campbell Bros. know it, no
skin games of any kind are permitted,
but everything is fair and orderly,
and for this reason we commend them
to the public wherever they may go.
Very respectfully,

Andreas Petersen, a laborer en-
ployed on the public works of G. ouik,
was to fire a cannon on the Seven
teenth of May. But for some reason
the first attempt faned. Then he
knelt down in front of the muzzle of
the cannon, put on fresh percussion
cap and raised the hammer. The
hammer must have slipped out of his
hand, for at this moment the cannon
was discharged, and in an instant the
body of Mr.. Petersen was torn to
pieces and scattered far and wide.
Several hundred yards from the scene
a foot was found, parts of the entrails
were seen hanging in the top OF q
spruce tree, and bloody fibers of flesh
were seen all around. It was a most
heart-sickening sight. The deceased
was known rs very reliable man.
