April 25	1889	Miller	Conrad	Almost a Suicide Mr. Conrad Miller of the little Hamlet of Mills, attempted last Thursday to drown his miseries in a bottle of chloroform. Our reporter learned the following story. Mr. Miller taught school at Mills a year ago last winter, and at that time became enamored of one, Mary English, a blooming widow, who lived in her own little, little cottage and sent one or two children to school. The attachment seemed mutual and ripened into an engagement followed a little later by their marriage. Mr. Miller is a middle aged and a simple minded, honest hearted German, quite disposed, takes life easy and enjoys himself. His wife, on the contrary he soon found to be a veritable Xantippe. She had harried her first husband and she harried poor Conrad. He, however, like many another husbands bore it meekly and with small complaining. At last Mary determined to dispose of him for good, and sending him to Harrison Valley last Thursday on some small errand, she set out of doors his few belongings and locking all the doors went over to New York State to make a visit while Conrad reconciled himself to the change. To say that Conrad was painfully surprised on his return would be putting it very mildly. He was broken hearted when he fully realized what has happened. He went down to the store, procured a bottle of chloroform, and returning to the cottage porch sought, by drinking and inhaling the stupefying drug, to end his wretched life and forget Mary. Some passers by discovered him there insensible, and took him over to the hotel where after much effort they succeeded in restoring his senses. With returning life he cried pitifully for Mary, but Mary did not hear, and probably would not have cared if she had heard. Conrad has determined to linger awhile longer, now that the worst is over. As near as we can learn he has the sympathy of the whole neighborhood.

May 21	1889	Swetland	Walter	On May 21, 1889 occurred a most shocking accident at the mill of Walter Swetland of Mills. About ten minutes before twelve a sliver caught by the side of the saw. Sometimes, but not always, the mill was shut down to remove such a sliver. Mr. Miller tried to push the sliver down with a stick. He stood on a pile of saw dust and it is thought it gave way and he lost his balance and fell forward on the saw. In an instant a great slice of his head was cut off and about ten pounds from the point of his shoulder. The two pieces were thrown on one side of the saw and the unfortunate man fell on the other. His brother and other hands picked him up, and carried him to one side, laid him down. He lived for two hours and twenty minutes but was unconscious all the time. Dr. Pitchard and Dr. Webster were summoned from Harrison Valley, but could do nothing to save him. After death they sewed the pieces back on and left him looking quite natural.
