JOHN TKEBA'S
DEATH.
A Katta Caaatr larmar Sett. Hit
Fate ia a lamaway.
John Treba. a Polish farmer living in
Loup township, eight miles west of this
city, was killed in a runaway accident
last Saturday afternoon- He had
brought in a load of corn and started to
return about 1 o'clock. When near the
Chris. Meedel school house he was
thrown from his wagon and suffered a
awasaaanaaa. ieaaatfeaBBBaBBfeCBaat g& xtswaay waaTPfnaaar ft
which he died shortly after.
Just how the accident occurred will
probably aever be known as no one wit
nessed it and the unfortunate man never
regained consciousness. From the ap
pearance of the surroundings it would
seem that either the tongue had broken,
or fell down, aa the ground was torn up
in a couple of places and splinters of
the tongue were found upon the ground.
Treba had evidently been thrown heavily
out, and either a horse had stepped
upon his face or a wheel run over him,
as the face and front of the head were
badly cut and bruised. One of the
horses ran to the farm of Chris. Meedel
and the other one ran home, just one
mile west of the scene of the accident.
The unfortunate man probably laid
where he fell for forty minutes before
assistance came.
J. EL Bushnell and J. M. Curtis who
were going to Mr. Meedel's to look up a
site for a day's outing, found him where
he lay, just aa the wife and a son of Mr.
Meedel came with a buggy the return
ing horses having given the alarm.
When the' wife first saw him, she sup
posed him to be dead, as there was very
little sign of life, and her grief was most
pitiful to behold. Alittle water brought
from the school house revived "him. some
what, so that he eoaamenced to breathe,
though with great difficulty. He was
placed hi a buggy and taken home,
where he died in leas than an hour.
Mr. Treba was 66 years of age and
leaves a wife and several children. He
had lived hi this county for a number of
years, and was fairly well-to-do.
The funeral took: place Monday fore
noon at 9, with burial at the Catholic
cemetery at Duncan.
It seems from the last meeting of
the council that Councilman Lehman
confessed that he "fathered the resolu
tion offered to instruct the city attorney
to bring- the cause (the street question)
to an immediate hearing and have the
injunction dissolved and to accept with
out cost to the city the services of John
N. Baldwin and Edaon Rich, presumed
to represent the Union Pacific company.
Pending the motion of Lehman to adopt
the resolution seconded by Lutz, a mo
rion was made to table the resolution.
On thai motion Gray aad PhUlipps
voted aye, the remainder no. On
the original motion, Lehman, Lutz
aad Niewohner voted aye; Elliott,
Gray aad PhiHipps, no, and the mayor
decided by voting against the resolu
tion. , one of the best

W 1. Backus Uiead.
For a period several years ago, W. E.
Backus was superintendent of the U. S.
Indian school at Genoa.
There was some difference between
him and the administration as to the
accounts, involving a number of partic
ulars. It seems that now the matter has
been thoroughly overhauled and instead
of owing the government, it is found
that $34.40 was owing by it to Mr.
Backus.
as we pnousneu tnen wnac was cur

sincerely congratulate Mr. Backus

Thursday night last at about mid-
I night John Lackey lost a threshing ma
chine by fire, supposed to be of incen
diary origin. They had pulled up. be
tween 9 and 10 o'clock, at P. H. O'Cal
iahan's, about four mQas southeast of
Platte Center. The machine was away
from the buildings, and not near a fire.
The belts and everything were destroyed,
the fire when noticed, being beyond con
trol. It was an old machine with a new
elevator and swinging carrier, and the
loss is estimated at $350 to $400. There
were no stacks, consequently no loss of
grain by fire. The calculation was to
thresh out of the shock.
