Remarkable church bell accident and rescue at Catholic Church
A windlass bell raising at a Catholic Church nearly crushed laborer Thomas Newton when a cog failed and the 3700 pound bell plummeted from the cupola. Newton ascended the rope to 100 feet above ground, Bishop Whelen pulled him to safety, and Newton suffered severe hand injuries. Reports note a miraculous escape and widespread shock among witnesses. Nearby Nebraska stories recount a severe three foot snowstorm near Fort Kearney, with emigrants suffering and corn selling at high prices.

Train wreck near Hamilton injures emigrants with narrow escape
A westbound freight on the Hannibal and St Joseph line derailed two miles beyond Hamilton after embankments washed by heavy rains. Four cars left the track with two overturning in a culvert. Eight to ten emigrants, men women and children, escaped with only minor bruises. No blame attached to officers as the crash was deemed unavoidable. Also reported is the death of Bowlegs the Seminole leader near the Semingie country, noted by Col. Rutherford’s party, with lament among Seminoles and no arrival of late emigrants.

Bendigo and Cox Boxing Match in St Louis
A brutal prize fight in St Louis on Monday lasted eighty nine rounds over nearly two hours. Bendigo defeated Cox after Coxs decline in time and visible injuries, with Bendigo remaining largely unmarked. The match drew crowd disruption and commentary on fighters’ tactics. In New York, a court action related to Dr Harvey Burdell’s estate ends with dismissal of Mrs Cunningham’s appeal, potentially ending her claim as Burdell’s widow.
