preparations to carry out the de
cree of the Circuit Court in n the
execution of Gus Wachline, Febru
ary 4th, for the murder of John V,
Ledrick. The stockade is heing
built adjoining to the jail, so that
the north jail wall will be the south
wall of the prlitiade, The east en
closure will be represented by the
west wall of the HherilTs office. The
windows of the Sheriff's office will
be used as the entrance to the scaf
fold, the platform of which will be
in the center of the stockade. About
sixteen feet will be the beieht of
the wall, over which there will be
no roof. Captain Collins is putting
up the "dead tall," this being the
cond one he has built io this
county, the first being Beveral years
ago for Wintzegerode, whose sen
tence was commuted to life impris
onment. It is reported that Attorney Geo.

last week for Minnesota, ostensibly
to see the mother of Wachline,
about getting to work on a new
trial. The appeal must go to the
Supreme Court, as the motion was
denied in the Uircuit Uourt. coun

V, T. Gardiner, Superintendent of
of l'orilaiid, was in Hillshoro Mon
day on business with the court.
The Society had resolved to go out
of business unless the counties con
tributed aid, as the legislature has
not helped it sufficiently to keep up
its work. Mr. Gardiner asks the
counties to support the institution
on this basis: a contribution of
five dollars per month for each rep
resentative in the county. Thus
this county should, under this ba
era, contribute $15 monthly, but
the superintendent overlooked one
of our men (we do not know wheth
er Brother Marsh, Hudson, or
Thompson) and asked for ten dol
lars monthly instead. He also ask
ed for ten dollars monthly since
last April. The board voted to al
low forty-five dollars back pay and
to give ten dollars per month in the
future. The society will hereafter
of all oir poor and homeless child
ren, school them, adopt them, etc
This was a very worthy move on
part of the board and an economi
cal one. The county now has three
children there.

Farmington, Jan. 19. The other
dav. at Kelley's wood can p near
here, shouts from sturdy men rang
through tho forest, as a tree which
they were falling, instead of falling
in ihe desired direction, went crash
ing toward the steam saw, where
several men were at work, and
driver and team were standing near
by. When the driver saw the tree
coming, he gave the horse a smart
blow with the whip, causing them
to plunge forward, and a second
later the large tree fell not a hail's
breadth behind them, and landed
squarely across the log carriage.
Several limbs struck the boiler and
knocked the steam gauge from its
place and bended the steam pipe,
A portable water tank standing
near, received the tree across one
wheel, smashing it to splinters. It
seeniB almost miraculous that all
the men escaped without Ihe sligh
test injury.
