Adriel BEAN LOCAL BREVITIES Another big shower on Wednesday last. On Thursday of last week a large black bear attacked a hog belonging to Mr. Oliver GARDNER, in a field near the house of that gentleman. Mr. GARDNER broke a fence rail over the bear's head and finally with the aid of a courageous dog succeeded in making it take to a tree. Then they sent for Allie BLAIR who came and killed the brute putting three rifle balls into his head before he fell to the ground. WRIHT gave a dance to the schoolma'ms on Thursday evening of last week. Mr. W. D. NILES of Quincy, presented our better half with a big box of honey, on Saturday last. Thanks, friend NILES. Fell From a Roof We returned from Mauston this (Wednesday) afternoon, and found on our arrival that our trusted foreman, Mr. WARNER, had met with a severe and dangerous accident. This morning he went on the roof to the wing of his residence, to examine a chimney, and by some mishap slipped and fell a distance of about twelve feet to the ground. His head and face were considerably cut, but it is feared his worst injuries are about the back and spinal column. Mr. WARNER is nearly sixty years of age, and up to the time of this accident has been remarkably active. We most sincerely hope that good medical attendance and nursing will soon bring "The Old Man," as he familiarly calls himself, around all right again.
