of Indian troubles in 1862 Minnesota

treasury.
The bodies of the two sons of Nels
Parson of Mortified, who were
drowned on Thanksgiving day, have
been recovered. The boys, aged II
and IA, went skating on Union lake,
about eight miles from Mortified.
They are supposed to have broken
through the thin ice. /
Little Albert Bower, whose father
is farmer near Lake George, is lying
at the st. Anthony hospital, Bemidji,
in a critical condition as the result of
swallowing short lead pencil, includ-
ing the brass tip and rubber. The
pencil is lodged in the right bronchial
tube of the lungs, and the possibility
of it's abstraction is remote. Albert
had placed the pencil in his mouth
when it slipped down his throat and
lodged in the windpipe.
Joe Schultz underwent a terrible
experience while teaming near Pequot.
He was toting for logging firm and
had started for camp with a big load
OF sled timbers. At about 1880 the sled
overturned, catching him beneath the
load. All night he lay there with a
weight of hundreds of pounds across
his body and half buried in the snow.
He was found the next morning by a
woodsman, who alarmed the camp, it
taking five men to raise the load
sufficiently to release him. His re-
covery is very doubtful.
Mrs. August Niebel, who was con-
victed at Mankato ofhaving assaulted
Paul Kintze with heavy castor used
for moving stoves, was sentenced to
pay fine of $50 and costs. When she
handed over the amount she remarked
that Kintze had the punishment com
ing, and that it was worth all it cost to
her to give it to him. Kintze's ear
was nearly severed and his scalp was
cut. Mrs. Niebel was recently sued for
divorce by her husband, and having
found him in Kintze's company NOV
ing stove and being ordered from
the house she made the attack. It is
said that Niebel and his wife are now
reconciled, and that the divorce action
will be dropped. ..
Henry Will, an 11-year-old boy, met
his death by drowning in Rum river
at Anoka while skating. He and two
companions, Frank Mckay and Art
Campbell, lads of about the same age,
were skating above the railroad
bridge. A train was coming and the
Will boy said he was going to get to
the bridge before the train got there.
He skated along and when near the
bridge broke through the thin ice. He
grabbed the edge and his playmates,
terrified by his danger, told him to
hang on while they ran to the power
house for help. Wendell Bailey was
there and when the three hurried to the
spot with all haste Will had disap-
peared below the ice. d.
Mrs. Anna Goodnow of Akeley was
the innocent victim of a stick loaded
with gunpowder and shot, and came
near losing her life. She was badly
injured in the arms and legs with gum
shots. Mrs. Goodnow was putting a
stick of wood into the fire and, as she
bent before the stove, there was a
terrific explosion, and she was shot in
the arms and legs. The doctor was
Immediately called and dressed the
wounds, which, though not fatal, we're
serious, and the woman had an ex-
ceedingly serious nervous shock. It
appears that some wood has been miss
ing, and that gunpowder or car
tridges were put into the wood to find
out the victims. Mrs. Goodnow &C.
cidentally got some of this loaded
wood, and became an innocent victim.
Wood stealing, however, will get a
setback by the knowledge that there is
loaded wood waiting for others who
do not buy it.
Horns belonging to animals that
must have lived centuries ago have
been unearthed by ditching machine
belonging to the North Branch Ditch
ing company, which is working in the
peat swamp a couple of miles north
east of North Branch. One horn is
about eleven inches in circumference
and the other is considerably smaller.
The smaller one is undoubtedly that of
an elk, while the other may possibly
be from the same kind of an animal,
although he must have certainly been
giant member of the tribe. The horns
were dug from under seven or eight
feet of dirt, which would indicate that
they had been there several hundred
years. No one now living has ever
heard of any elk or other large animal
