Henry BUDENBERG, who works with August LANGE in the well drilling business, got a foot badly hurt in the horse power of the driller on Tuesday of this week, out on Henderson Prairie. It took some 15 minutes to extricate his foot from the machinery.

Fritz SCHULTZ, a son of H.J. SCHULTZ, employed in the Milwaukee depot here, fell from a moving freight car which he had been sealing. He was badly cut and bruised about the head. He is doing well.

Miss Grace POWERS was married in Nebraska last week. We have no particulars.

DIED.
In Postville on May 9th, 1890, after an illness of two weeks, Thomas M. MILLER, aged 42 years, 2 months and 11 days. The shock of Mr. MILLER's sudden death, of typhoid fever, was only less to the community than to the stricken family. Mr. MILLER was born in Morgan Co. Ohio and came to Postville about 25 years ago, when a boy of 17, and has resided here continuously since. Jan 1st, 1880 he was married to Miss CLARK, daughter of John T. CLARK. Three children were born to him, all of whom are still living. Three brothers and a sister also survive him. The funeral was held from the residence on Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the knights, Rev. LEASE conducting the religious exercises. [note: extracted from a lengthly obituary]
