The farmers in this section arc cut
ting their wheat. 1t is q thin crop: and
will probably average Gan estimate
civcn) about twelve bushels to the acre,
which is far below the actual yield.
During the past week our town mas
been visited by county officials, who
claimed to be in pursuit Of two Jail
birds, which they had traced to this
place, and lost tidings Of. Some Of the
vcgilencc committee turned out to aid
in the search for the cuiprits, but to no
purpose.
The statement that opium eating and
whiskey drinking will overthrow the
intellectual cdiGcc of prominent and
obscure individuals has been proven
true at this place, i'll the case CT Mrs
Mccoy, who has indulgcd IN the use Of
these articles to such an extent as to
make her an incbriatc-a maniac. 1t
has been decided to confinc her in the
Insane Asylum at St. Peter. There is
another indivilual-a ftmale-tha'
paradcs about after respectable people
have embarked for the land OF DIR, amc
making hidcous yclping and cutting uE
other antics-which leads the good pco
pie of our place to think that she toe
might be taken to the same institution
and be pro6ted thereby.

Editor Tronscriw:-I was somewhat sur
priscd to sec that tho TnASscRlpT ofJuly 18th
call me kidnappcr. The facts ore: In tho
first place it WAS my wi'cs request that
should DO appointed guardian of the child, and
told Tubbs so before either Of us was ap'
piontcd. Tubbs refused to give up the child
so took her. The child had previous to thai
time, been living with me except few days
before her mothers death. She was then Wis
iting her grand parents.
It tisnot true that used any violent or in
sulting language to Mrs Tubbs. Mr.. TubbS
never had any control over the children there
being two of them. But am told that he
did have control over eighteen hundred dol
lars that belonged t" them and cheated them
out Of it.
I should havo written sooner, but under
stood that Tubbs intended to bring the ma t
Ter up for trial and then the facts would ap-
pear Now Mr.. Editor, all / ask OF yor
is to publish this and send my addrcs:
tho number ofthc paper that shall contain it:
publication. Yours Respectfully,
p. sTKCNK.
We chccrfuliy publish the above let
ter in justice to Mr.. Strunk. We
gave at that time the facts just as they
were gathered from Mr.. Tubbs and
his friends, many of which as VIC
have since learned from 'citizcns oI
Lyle we're too highly colorcd in his
own favor. 1t seems that Mr.. TubbS
had purpose in retaining the chill"
beyond mere affection. Still we doubt
whether Mr.. Strunk was justified in
resorting to forciblc measures to take
the child away in the absence oI
Tubbs.-Elitor.
