Olaf Johnson, a well known resi-

some storm windows, his brother al
so having rig with him, and they
started home together. When they
reached the Fred Thomas farm at
the top of the hill, his brother told
Olaf he would go on ahead and has
ten home, which he did. The horses
turned into by-road a mile this
side OF the road leading to his place,
and seemingly went at random, wan
dered of the road, and finally came
to steep embankment through
which the road was cut, which they
rolled down, the reach breaking and
striking the ground overturned the
wagon, the top striking Johnson
across the side OF the skull above the
left ear, and pinning him to the
hard ground. He had been subject
to heart trouble. and it believed that
this had something TO do with the
accident. The rein caught under the
wagon, and the team turned about,
facing it, where they stood all night
The next morning Miss Drew,
who teaches school in that neighbor-
hood was going to her school, when
she saw the team standing in the
road, and going up to investigate
saw the CHASTITY form OF the man,
who had evidently lived for some
time, as he had kicked off his shoes
in the attempt to free himself. She
ran back up the road screaming, and
a neighbor went TO the place, took.
care of the team and notified the
sheriff and coroner, who went
out and investigated the case, find
ing the circumstances as above
stated.
Mr.. Johnson was raised on farm
near Spillville, where his parents
live, and leaves a wife and one child.

OF Trempealeau in Trempesleau
county, says the Ia Crosse Tribune
The calf was born ten days age and
seems to be looking forward TO a
long and useful existence. Besides
its normal four legs and tail, all Of
which are located in the propositions
and are apparently normal, there are
an extra leg and tail sprouting out
from the right front shoulder. The
tail is perfectly formed and the leg
is terminated by perfect hoof. The
tail is so long that it is tied around
the calf's neck all the time to keep
it from tripping. The leg, however,
is slightly shorter than the other
four legs of the beast The calf Is
OF the male persuasion, and Is the
offspring OF normal COW.

Secretary. President.
The Board went in company
with w. l.. Stevens, Architect,
for the purpose Of inspecting the
new brick school building now
complete, and a close inspection
was made, particular attention
being paid to the light and
ventilation. As to light no one
will doubt that there is sufficient
light even in the darkest corner.
During this inspection there was
a heavy rain falling, and then it
was found that all parts of the
building was fully lighted. anG in
this respect the Board gave their
hearty approval Of the arrange.
ment. Che question of ventila- :
tion seemed to be settled ae best
the setting OF the building would
allow. One side of each room is
almost solid glass, with the top of
the windows as near the ceiling as
the construction would permit,
and to place windows on the rear
would necessitate the teacher
facing them and in all rooms
except two, the children would sit
with their right side to the light
which is Objectionable for the
reason that tho shadows fall on
the work. All Of thes,, questions
were fully gone over and the
Board expressed its entire satis-
faction and passed unanimously
