Extra Session Called
The County Board has been called to meet in extra session by the chairman at the county sent on Friday, Jan. 6th. There seems to be trouble in regard to the bonds furnished by Treasurer elect Mich. Even, which the committee appointed by the board could not accept without the sanction of the entire board. Mr. Even has secured his bonds from a surety company in Milwaukee. From reports thus far obtained it is very likely that the board will not accept the bond, and the treasurer-elect will have twenty days time, according to a recent decision of the supreme court to file a new bond.

The board will meet shortly and elect its officers for the ensuing year.
A Narrow Escape
A little ten year old daughter of Wm. GERLACK of the town of Jackson had a narrow escape of being hurled to death on Monday afternoon. She had just returned from school and went out to the barn where her father was engaged in cutting feed, and desiring to help her father in the work, she carried the cut feed from the machine. In some unaccountable manner her dresses came in contact with the thumbling rods and she was hurled to the ground, but luckily the horses stopped when commanded and thus saved her life. She escaped by a few slight bruises, but her clothes were literally torn from her body.

We understand Mr. Joe KOENNEN is ill with typhoid fever; we trust it is not a very serious case, and that he will soon be out again.
A case of much interest has developed in our community; a young man by the name of VINCENT came here from Chicago about four months ago and took board with a distant relative of his by the name of EDWARDS, and got employment and has continued to work in the Chair Factory since that time. In the early part of December a young and beautiful girl came here as his wife from Chicago and both, he and his wife, boarded with the EDWARDS family. His wife suffering somewhat from her delicate condition he procured medicine and attention from two of our local physicians; at the end of ten days or two weeks, young VINCENT had become thoroughly dissatisfied with their treatment and changed to another physician of our city who took the case with reluctance. On Tuesday night last the patient died as is alleged of blood poisoning. The EDWARDS family and her husband say that her suffering were intense up to the time of her death. Young VINCENT went before Nic WILSON, justice, told him the facts in the case and requested a coroner's inquest to be held; the justice immediately summoned six jurymen to sit upon said inquest, and notify E. S. TURNER Dist. Atty to attend. The jury were the following: George KUEHN, Frank WILSON, Wm. SCHMIDLER, Matt GEORGE, John THILL Jr. and Gil GERMANSON. On Thursday and Friday witnesses were examined, but on account of the absence of young VINCENT in Chicago to bury his wife, the jury adjourned further action until Monday morning next, when further developments may occur as more testimony will then be presented; it would not be becoming at this stage to predict the results, ‘tis liable to get into the courts for further investigation.
