Didn’t Have Time.

A man who had a leg smashed near Oregon, Dane oounty, by the tornado, and who was moving out West from Milton, was placed upon the cars at Madison to be taken home. He was giving an account of the affair to a number of men in the baggage car. He said he had stopped at a farm house, and was leading his horse in the barn, when he was struck quicker than lightning, thrown into_ a straw heap, his horses blown into the air, the barn taken away, and his wagon crushed to atoms, and his leg broken. A minister, who was present, asked him if he put his trust in Providence. “By gaul, Square,” said he, as he hitched his broken leg around into an easy place, “/ didn't have lime." — Peek's (Milwaukee) Sun.
