Aielier. T!ie lad :ie- !nowb'd-ed inning forced an en traiiee In Ihe store and slated to the judge lhat he desired to se- eure some nionev wiin wnien to atleiul a ciii'us, as he had never 1 t n 1 seen one ami was uesiroiis 01 at tending one whieh wa lo show- at Lincoln. The boy had not been able lo secure any money from the store when raptured. The parents of the lad are very hard working people and are evi dently good citizens, but have not been able to look after the chil dren as lliev would like to. The father of Ihe boy is employed as a farm hand near Weeping Water. while the mother has been work ing in a bakery, arid as her hours of work are from 5:30 in the inorninir until S at night there is no', much time left to look after the children. The boy who was arrested is Ihe oldest of Ihe fam ily of four children. The rase was one that would properly be brought before the county judge, who was out of the city, and the penalty would be a sentence to the reform school, and in view of this fact, Justice Archer paroled the boy in the care of his mother until such time as it would be desired to have the case brought before, the county judge. The mother was grief stricken over Ihe mailer and has made arrangements to. try and secure work at home that would allow her to have more time to look after Ihe children. .The case is one lhat certainly brings out sympathy for the unfortunate family and the authorities are willing to allow them every op portunity to do what they can with the boy.

In unloading- the jug.

As lloelel tossed one of the jugs to Lewis, a passer-by. so Ihe boys slate, attempted to catch the jug, and in doing so caused it to strike on the Mil-' of the building near the door. where it broke into several pieces and a large sec tion struck Lewis on the left wrist, inllicting a wound aboul an inch in length and which pene trated to the bone and cut a large blood vessel, causing the blood to spurt out of the wound in a most alarming manner. The injured young man at once started for Ihe office of a physician, bleeding unite profusely all the way from the saloon until he reached the ofiiee of Dr. Cook, who dressed the injury and made the injured young- man as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. The young man was quite weak from the loss of blood, but will have several days in which to re cover from the effects of the in jury, lie will visit, at Weeping Water with relatives and friends until the arm is sufticiently well to allow him to return to work. Fred Kunsmann and wife were visitors in Omaha over Sunday, where they were the guests of friends.

Joe liriiwii is in liiwn during eoiirl week and call- the jud'-'e :. .1. The dead body of a Swede was found near Ihe i ier about a mile below IroWIlille last Week. lie was supposed lo have hung hinf- -elf to a sal ing near-by. The fields and farms every where lnuk line.

The heavy rains earlv in .Tune delaved the corn i.uiewhat. farmers not being able to plow for (lie wet. the weeds set up a monopoly in some places. ut it is all right now. On Saturday lat Mr. John Li ingloii. residing on the Adams place, two miles south of town, iad occasion to fix (he pump in a Well about IT fret deep, near the ll.Hiie. A Swede, whose name we iae 110I learned, but who hail been working round the country leie ;;l odd j"bs. offered to go nV!i and .-crew on the pipe or whatever needed tixing. Owing I" the well being used all the time. jnd the fact that damp or bad air is unusual in this section, unless in very deep wells, no one thought if danger here.- The Swede de fended on a rope, and porbably ell dead without a sign. Mr. Liv ingston became alarmed at bis silence and thinking there might H-obably be bad air in the well, he :o a candle and holding it down ii foie him in the well, he ordered Ihe men to lower him. When oiil eight feet down his candle weni 0111. anil ne suouieu ior me men lo draw up "quick!' They Mideavoied to do so. but just, as .ivingslon was almost within each from the top. he dropped tnd fell to the bottom, a mangled md ( rushed corpse. 15oth men were speedily taken out by ropes md drags. The Swede had hardly 1 bruise. The wounds and cuts would hae killed Lmngslon had not Ihe tire damp. Both men were buried on Sunday. Mr. Liv ingston leaves a family to mourn his sudden and terrible death, and the community have lost a valua ble citizen; his neighbors a dear friend. We hope this may serve as a warning to others in the well business, persons cannot be too careful about entering wells at any time, no matter how much thev think there is no danger. A. F.
