Speaking roughly, tho line of
the new route of railroad between
Columbus and Lost Creek, may be
designated as follows: take the map
of the county, lay down a ruler so
that one end will rest on a point in
tho city 100 rods north of the S. E.
corner of section 24, and the other
end SO rods west from tho N. E.
corner of 9, and draw a straight line
thus, through 24,13, 14,12,10; aud
then a line due west from there
south of the section Hues, through 0,
8,7, 12, 11 to Lost Creek will fairly
represent the route, with of course
a curve instead of the angle.
.John Burrell, who returned
from Oakdale Sunday, tells us that
all along tho routo farmers are busy,
cheerful and hopeful, and small
grain up looks splendid. Farmers
seem to be straining every nervo to

Natl 'Accident.
Friday last a very sad accident
happened to one .of our citizens.
Wm. Graves was employed on the
work train of the TJ. P., and 'while
arranging, with a pair of tongs, a
rail. upon a flat car, the trahi being
in motion, the tongs slipped, throw
ing him off his balance. He clung
to the car as long as he could, but
was compelled to let go his hold and
drop ; he did his best to drop beyoud
the reach of tho wheels, but could
uot "do so, aud three or four cars,
heavily loadened, passed over him,
cutting off both legs. The unfortu
nate man was brought to the city,
taken to the-residcu.ee of his father-
jn-law on 11th street, J. C. Wear.
Drs. Mitchell & Martyn were called,
who administered chloroform, and
amputated his legs, one three, the
other five inches below tho knee.
The patient is doing very nicely.
A FenriHl Accident.
Friday week Jos. Jack, jr., son of
Jos. Jack, living a mile from St.
Mary's church, was fearfully man
gled. While plowing, his team ran
off, throwing him so that the plow
struck him on the left side, the
point entering the lower part of the
left Jung, and the cut causing the.
kidney. and- spleen to ohtrudo from
the body. The young man (eighteen
years of 'age and the only child of
his parents) had been yery sick for
four" weeks previous, andhad been
at wilpiUytw"f4ayr before the
accidents - His complaint had been
inflamnjatlon-.ofilbc.IurtrB, and this
injury, cominzclojgt qpoiuhis ill
ness, rnA'deTitAirthVwarse'for him.
DrHo'chen of thiB placoVas called
by telegram, aud reached the patient
about 6ix hours after the accident.
Mrs. Jack, in the meantime, had
dressed his wounds very nicely.
The Dr. says that his iujuries were
fearful -dookiug every time die
coughed' fife blood would gush out
from the wound in his side. lie has
not been called Since", and supposes
that he is doing as well as could be
expected. -. !-
Attention, Farmers.

plements at cost price. Call and

seeders ; also harrows, plows, culti
vators, wagon springs, buggy tops,
Sec. My goods are equal iu quality
to any on the market, aud it will pay
you to buy while you can get them
cheap. Wm. Becker.
Nearly Fatal.
A fight occurred last Wednesday
afternoon southeast of Duncan, this
couuty, that proved very nearly fatal
to one of the, men engaged. Wo
very much dislike to record such
matters, but a complete local history
of tho county would bo out of tho
question by their omission.
Peter Klanschi aud M. O'Hrrne
are farmers living uear each olher
southeast of Duncan, aud near the
Platte river. Between them lies a
tract of land holonging to a non
resident, over which the cutlle of
both pass to get water at Iho river.
Klanschi, as we are informed, claim
ed that he had rented this laud, and
forbade others from crossing over it ;
they claimed he had no more right
to it than anybody olso, and so felt
free to do as they have done.
Tho affair of Weduesday last wan
the third of a series between the
same men in the last two weeks,
Klauschi having twice run O'Herue,
with a large knife in hand, one time
when O'llerne was ridiug a stubborn
mule that he couldu't compel to go
fast, and when he was afraid that
Klanschi, any moment,would pluugo
his knife iuto him. He, however,
escaped unhurt both times.
The last time, Klauschi appeared
at the line with a gun and a sp.de,
having sent word previously by a
boy (so wo are crodibly informed)
that if O'Hernc drove his stock down
there he would shoot him.
When O'Hernc did go down, he
says that Klauschi pointed his gun
at him. After this there is nothing
positive except the condition of the
men after tho affray. O'llerne is
uuscratched, aud Klanschi was fear
fully pounded, particularly ou the
head aud face. Dr. iloohcn, the
surgeon who dressed his wounds,
says that there are fourteen hole.-, in
his head aud face, aud that his lungs
are badly affected ; one of his ears
ha3 two cuts in it; his eyes wore
fearfully buuged up, and for several
days he could neither speak nor st-c.
The Dr. tells us that he is now r .n
siderably better.
Complaint was entered before
Justice Millott of this place, by
Charles Wake, April 27th, agaiust
O'Hernc, charging assault aud bat
tery, and the case set for hearing
May 13th at S' a. m., it beiug sup
posed that Klanschi would not'tje
able to appear as a witness befocb
that lime.
The I"Iisin I'uiander.
Last week we gave the facts then
known in regaril to the disappear
ance of one John Keiphus, a Inlan
der living near Humphrey. Since
then additional facts have come to
light that go to prove that his death
was purely accidental. On Tuesday
of laHt week, the Sheriff, acting as
Coroner, taking Louis Schwarz of
this place as interpreter, proceeded
to hold an iuquest upon tho body of
tho dead man, which had been found
in the water in Elm creek, by a son
of David Murphy. Wo only give
now such additional facte as have
not heretofore been published.
Brick and Starsetz, two of the In
landers who had been in company
with Kiphus, testified that alter
walking some distance out from
Platte Center, they, with Kosol, sat
down to rest, lighting their pipes
aud asking Kiphus to stay with
them, which he refused to do, but
went forward along the road. This
was about 9 o'clock ou the night of
the 25th of March, and was the last
time the unfortunate man was seen
alive. Ab he had to cross two
bridges before reaching home, aud
as the water of Elm creek was ten to
twclvo feet deep, it was not strange
that his neighbors should conclude
that he had fallen from one of the
bridges. Such appears to be the
undoubted fact, for the body was
found down stream about a mile aud
a half, without a single mark of
violence upon it, well preserved, and
in the clothes $19.10 in money
paper, gold and silver. Relatives
aud friends had no trouble, what
ever, iu identifying the body as that
of John Kciphu8.
.
School Matters.
The school Board elected under
tho new law met Monday evening,
at the office of Speice & North, aud
organized by electing C. A. Speice,
President, Marshall Smith, Vico
President and Wm. Burgess, Sec'y.
Those to serve for the long and
short terms were selected by lot, as
follows : Long term, M. Smith, J.
G. Higgins, A. M. Post; short term,
W. A. McAllister, C. A. Speice,
Win. Burgess.
Messrs. Smith and Higgins were
appointed a committee to confer
with the old school Boards, and
ascertain the condition of the finan
ces, and report at the next meeting.
Some discussion was had as to
what, pupils should attend the diff
erent schools, but it was concluded
best to allow the pupils to atteud as
they had been, refunding any money
paid for tuition for the current term
by any city pnpil.
Messr8Higgins and Smith were
appointed committee on supplies
and repairs.
Miss Louise Bauer, who has taught
the north school of the district, and
given' general satisfaction, as was
evidenced by testimonials from pat-
I rpnsof;the" school during the wiuter,

It was ordered that the roof on

Dear Journal : Creston, like al 1
the rest of the world, has thawed
ont, but unlike a large portion of it,
unvisited by disasters from floods ;
being far above high water mark
we were beyond any cause of appre
hension, but not above sympathizing
with tho sufferers.
The benign influence of Sol has
gradually loosened the hold of old
Winter, and farmers are taking ad
vantage of the pleasant weather to
get small grain iu the ground ; many
acres have been sown within a few
days. Tho grass and trees show
signs of life, and the singing of
birds is heaid in the land.
We were well pleased to see your
editorial upon the mass humhug ; we
were sorry to seo it printed in a
paper so much respected as yours
without a word of disapproval. It
should be considered a serious of
fence for any person to utter such a
so called prophecy for tho sake of
notoriety. There are no doubt many
weak minds who will be sadly har
rassed and distressed by it.
The delegates from this place to
the Presbytery came homo with
glowing accounts of the good time
enjoyed in your pleasant city; they
received so much benefit and hospi
tality that the next time we ivill all
come.
