Narrow Escape.

New Rockford—While working in the hay field near here, Ira Moss, his two children and a hired man had narrow escapes from death. Mr. Moss' little boy and girl were driving two teams hitched to mowers, while Moss and the hired man were on a load of hay. Lightning struck close to them, the boy was knocked senseless and fell off his mower, Mr. Moss and the helper were thrown from the load of hay, while the girl's hand and shoulder were badly scorched. The teams hitched to the mowers ran away and one of the machines was demolished, but the horses were uninjured. The party soon recovered from their shock and aside from a severe shaking up, received no permanent injuries.

"From our Baerin' 'Lands,'' was a label placed over an Early Rose potato measuring 11 inches in length and weighing 2lb 1oz, from L. Notemyer's, which was placed on exhibition by Ed. Ware at the "Hole in the Wall," Monday. Our "barren lands" are surely doing themselves credit this year. The eye of the oldest inhabitant or the most successful granger never rested on vegetables that excel those raised in this vicinity this year. By the way, the Tribune received a copy of Gen. Hazen's "Our Barren Lands" last week which will be reviewed at an early day.

An unknown man of middle age was killed at Lakota, Nelson county. It is believed to have been a case of suicide as the engineer whistled and the man had plenty of time to get off the track, had he desired to do so.
