James Alter, of Carpenter Tp., whose remarkable wandering proclivities were recently mentioned, has been working a new region lately. When heard from last he was at Superior, Wis., at the far end of Lake Superior. He had just passed through the region of recent forest fires in Wisconsin, and stopped over Sunday at Rice Lake, where hundreds of families were homeless. Not far away across the line in Minnesota was the scene of the Pillagre Indians’ outbreak, then in progress.

Sum Ballard, of Monon, who accompanied the remains of Wallace Stivers home, reports that two other deceased members of the 161st regiment, were brought from Jacksonville at the same time. One for JHammond and the other for Madison. The boys have good shelter, excellent and abundant food, and the best of medical care, but the southern summer climate is very hard on them and there is much sickness in consequence. Sheriff Wickwire came over from Kentland this morning, bringing Henry Powell, of Brook. Henry recently made a most ferocious assault on a Brook bar-keeper named Curtis, with a knife. He gave Curtis several bad gashes but in the end Curtis got him down and gave him a terrible beating.
