Passing Away.

The old landmarks in our city, so
familiar to the pioneers Of the place
arc fast being obliteratcd. Especial
~ is this true as to the old natural
channel of theDes Moines river, now
so crowded westward by the building
of the tracks Of the d. V. & B. & M
Railroads. We were led into this
train of thought by observing that
the woodsmans axe had laid low in
the last day or two, the old Cotton
Wood tree of huge dimensions, at
the foot of Market street. 1t has
been dead for some time, and was
the last of somc four of five very
large trees of its kind that for thirty
years past had marked the waters
edge at a fair stagt of water in the
early history of the city, from Mar
kct to Washington streets.
This tree stood Immediately at
the corner of the flour and saw mill
built by John Myers, now deceased,
in the year 1874.
Tho mill, which was the first ercct.
ed in this county, and was for many
years resorted to by the early sett-
lers from far and near, has long since
passed away, and now the old tree is
fallen to serve US the foundation in
part OF Feed Mill, to be erected
nearly upon the same site of tho old
mill by the cnterprising firm of Will.

1t seems that Wallace who moved
into that neighhorhood last Spring,
had a grudge against one jeff. Hook,
a boy employed in the Mill, which
was leased and being run by Holligan
and that yesterday evening he went
over there and commenced abusing
the boy Hook, whereupon Holligan
put Wallace out of the Mill, and that
as soon as they got fairly out OF the
door, Wallace drew a knife and stab.
bed Holl,gan three times, from the
effects of which he expired in few
minutes.
Wallace escaped to the woods, and
has not been captured yet.
We are informed that nearly the
entire population Of Blakesburg and
vicinity, are securing the woods for
the fugitive, and that summary jus.
tice will perhaps be melted out to him
if captured.
Tho Sheriff won't over there this
morning early, but we have no fur.
