Geo. Ruble, Horton's chief clerk, was the victim of a painful accident last
Saturday. He was washing his hands in gasoline and glycerin mixed, and
getting too near the stove, the fluid took fire and blazed up catching his
hair. Mr. Ruble unthinkingly raised his hands to his head to put out the
fire and the mixture on them took fire at once and burned his hands and face
in a frightful manner. His hair, eye-brows, and eye-lashes were nearly all
burned off and in consequence Mr. Ruble has been unable to leave the house
this week.

AKRON: (Special Correspondence)

J. M. Pinckney, of Sioux City, is visiting his brother, C. E. Pinckney,
today. John says he can see much improvement in the last year or two.

J. N. Raish has secured judgment against the Western Home Insurance Co. for
the sum of $1445.

The house of J. F. Bryson collapsed Wednesday evening about 9:30. Several
children were in bed upstairs but escaped uninjured, Mr. and Mrs. Bryson
being at a neighbors.

James Taylor went to Sioux City Thursday and closed a deal for a Westfield
farm.

The "people" will hold a caucus next Tuesday night to nominate an anti Agnes
ticket and it now looks as though J. P. Kendall will assume the title of
"Honorable Mayor" for the next year.

A. L. McGinnis has sold out his stock of groceries.

S. A. Waterbury has purchased the stock of boots and shoes of H. Waterbury.

Frank Glezen bought a full line of hardware at Sioux City Tuesday.

M. P. Dunn has his new house well under way.

It is rumored that Akron will have a new drugstore April 1st.

W. Treebe, of Adaville, spent yesterday in Akron on business.

We understand that a Sioux City man is to put in a stock of clothing soon.

The water in the Big Sioux fills the banks, but no overflows have occurred
yet.

Akron will have a wedding March 1st. We hear the parties are Wm. Muir and a
Miss Simeon.

HANCOCK: (Special Correspondence)

The new tenants who aim to farm with us the coming season are getting
settled. A Mr. Jennings from Harrison county will run the Vanhorn farm.
The family contains eight school scholars.

Nelse Ogle will run the S.T. Eason farm. Mr. Ogle works for the Belle Vista
company. They like him very much.

Mrs. Vanhorn, from Marietta, Iowa, is back looking after unfinished
business. She reports having had very poor health since leaving us.

The great cow boy case is set for the 1st of March. While we have not
earthly use for Griffith, who seems to be interested in the case, we feel
quite sure that if everybody will attend the hearing, many will realize that
state as well as church is some times used as a cloak while local prejudices
are allowed to be encouraged to fight out combative nature at the expense of
the state, very much good money will have been wrongly used. The "presumed"
cow boys say they would like for all to attend and see who put up the job.
There are those who will wish they weren't "in it."

At the Lewis Peggar sale on the 23d, there was "bug juice" and scraping.
One gentleman who was running a bluff at the expense of $100 on the age of a
horse was advised to pay some of his honest debts if he had so much money.
Things seemed to drop until after the sale was over, when the $100 man and
his brother downed their courage, pulled their linen and while the man who
gave such good advice was not thinking of an explosion he ran against two
well prepared fists. It was a three-handed game. It appears that the $100
man had not paid his pasture bill under the pretext of not having the money.
No bones were broken.

POTOSIA: (Special Correspondence)

Ausman Bros. have the first yard of fat cattle in this vicinity.
D. Becker lost a cow by getting in to the creek.

J. Crouch has two children sick with scarlet fever.

J. Crouch lost a fine steer this week.

Those Plymouth county maps are going rapidly at twenty cents each. The
historical and statistical information in the little book that goes with
each one of them is worth twice the price of the map and much of it cannot
be found in any other book. Sent prepaid on receipt of twenty cents in
stamps. Sentinel, LeMars.
