Spencer

From the Spencer Tribune

F. J. Toussiant, of Milwaukee, state veterinarian, was in the village on Friday last. He came to examine a horse belonging to F. Below which it was feared was glandered. The examination showed that the difficulty arose from an injury to the skull which led to suppuration. It is needless to day that the whole neighborhood was relieved when it was known that the horse was not suffering from that dread disease, glanders.

Wm. Mellenthin, an old man aged about 70 years, living two miles north of here, died last Thursday and was buried Sunday, Rev. J. H. Hall conducting the funeral services. The old gentleman went to bed apparently in the best of health, the night before. When his relatives went to awaken him in the morning, he was found dead.

A rather sensational report comes from the town of Sherman, which speaks of love, man’s duplicity and woman’s weakness and it is embellished by a scene in justice court. If true it would make mighty interesting reading for a sensational paper.

W. H. Stead, of Colby, has had an article descriptive of lumbering in northern Wisconsin accepted by Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Monthly, which will appear soon. The views illustrating the article are camp scenes taken in this vicinity.
