been under ground 80 long on this side
of the creek, that people here have al

lower side of the creek, however,

goes on much to the obstruction OF the
street. They are now laid as far down
as Reed & Kralt's drug store.

dren, Mrs. Holtinger, her husband
being absent on the river, had gone to

two children alone in the room. Tho
