Now comes a most blood curdling story from Illinois, and which deeply interests several citizens of some prominence in this state. For a week or more past the Chicago papers have been filled with the reports of various grave robberies in neighboring towns, and it was evident that a regularly organized gamg was on- gaged in desecrating the graves of de- parted friends. Yesterday noon, while at the depot, a Ber reporter met Mr. E. R. McCon- sughy, a prominent lumber merchant of Stromsburg, this state, who related to us the blood curdling story of his brother's wrongs and sorrows, The brother referred to is Mr. George M. McConaughy, a lumber merchant at Osceola, this state, A few years since the McConaughy boys, Kate Craft, Newton J. Shinkle and the writer of this sketch were all school-fellows and class-mates together at Rochelle, Il At that time Shinkle was quite a favorite with Miss Craft and was considered deeply in love with her. A short time afterwards Shinkle en- tered the Cornell college and became a ber of the Cornell college boat cre He visited England ning very unenviable record by his throwin, the race in which his crew was entered, and upon his return to this country he was shunned by all his former friends, Misa Craft with the rest. Miss Craft was the daughter of J. B. Oraft, & boot and shoe dealer of Rochelle, IIL, and prior to her marriage was tho nclmowlu&od belle of that place. About one year ago George M- Conaughy and hfiu Craft were married and moved to Osceola, this state. A BROKEN AND EMPTY COFFIN. A fow weeks ago Mr. McConaughy and his wife left their home in Nebraska to visit theold folks in Rochelle, While there the young wife became a mother, but her lifo went out with that of the old year, and New Year's day she was buried in the cemetery at Rochelle. The broken-hearted husband has made daily visits to the grave since the funeral, but it was not until Monday morning that the appearance of the mnewly-made mound excited his suspicion. There were indications that the grave had been disturbed, and recollections of the Hoyt case and Shinkle's alleged complicity 1n that affair flashed across his mind. He imparted these suspicions to his father- in-law, and the two began an investig tion. They discovered that the tools of the graveyard sexton had been disturbed h{ some unknown hand after the funeral of Mrs, Mnfinmug.hl, and that the grave had boen reopened, The coffin was there, bul it was broken and empty, THE TRAIL AND THE DISCOVERY. ke e S b ot son-in-law v icago an o and Lung Diseases at C, F. case in the hands of the Turtle agency, [ man's Drug Store.

Upon going through his pockets 8140 was found, which was re- turned to him yesterday after the amount of his fine had been deducted. —Mrs. Robert Matthews and her littlo daughter Bella, were badly scalded on Tues- day evening by the explosion of the kitchen range, caused by steam generated in the water pipes, which had frozen up. While the in- juries were very severe they were not con- sidered dangerous, —The news reached us yesterday of the marringe of Mr. Harry Gray, of Brainacd, Minn., and Miss Ella Donley, of this city. The cersmony $ook place in St. Payl, Minn,, on November 12th last, and has until now been kept a profound secret. The newly- ‘married pair are still abroad on a wedding trip, but will return shortly. Both parti are employed in the Western Union Telegraph office in this city. 3 . —On the 11th day of last September Mr. J. H. Baldwin was thrown from his buggy and recelved such severe injuries to his shoulder, that he hus not been able to put on his coat, without help, since that time. On Tuesday 1ast, while Mr, Baldwin was passing over an ioy sidewalk, he slipped and fell, striking upon his elbow and shoulder. He was greatly alarmed, and feared that he had sustained permanent injuries, but, on the contrary, that fall proved a healing balm, for from that time his shoulder has been as well and strong as it was beforo the injury of last September, ‘What a pity that Mr. Baldwin did not know ere this that that was the treatment required. However, he smiles very blandly as he shakes hands with his friends. —Yesterday morning the air chamber of the hydraulic elevator in Broatch’s hardware store, on Harney street, blew off, and in less than five minutes the celler was filled with five feet of water. A fire engine was ¢alled to pump oout the water,and the sewer into which it was pumped emptied it into the cellpr of Btasls & Johnson, It was then pumped into the street, ‘The damage to Mr. Broatch is about $1,000, while the damage to Steele & Johnson has not Dbeen eotimated, e e Bucklen's Arnioa l-lv‘; i ‘The greatest medical wonder of WOR 0 speedily Burns, Ul that have been ravished?” asked the detective. *Yes, a fow,” the ghoul LaGrange, the lake have suffered.

The wagon at once began going backward and pullin} the team with it. When near the foot of the bridge it ran off on one side and one of the mules fell down, the double shock breaking the bridge into, and also break- ing the ice, which at this point was some- what softened by the water standing over it. E Wagon, mules and driver, all at once sunk in the icy water, and then began the struggle for life. The accident was witnessed by a great many persons, and men ran quickly to the rescue, Mr. August Benzon was on the bank when the accident happened and promptly took control of the work of getting the man out of the water, leaving the team to be cared for afterwards. His cool head and skillful management made his help more eflicient and at last, af era desperate struggle the driver was landed on hirm ice and soon after the mules were dragged out as limp as drowned kittens.
