DROWNED INTHE KAw-THE DECEASED STRAN-
GEI.-Last evening at about o'clock young man
who had just arrived in the city was drowned i'll
the Kansas river short distance below the ferry.
He was in bathing at the time in company with
IA Young named John Lewis Good He was good
swimmer, as NJ. Good states, having observed him
swimming and he must have been taken with the
cramp and thus rendered helpless. Upon seeing
him struggle. Mr. Good went to his assistance, but
before he could reach him the unfortunate young
man sunk tn rise more. His body was found
without difficulty and brought to shore. Physi-
clans wer. at cnce sent for. Dr. Yarnold soon
made his appearance and used every means in his
power to restore life, but his efforts proved in
vain.
Shortly afterward Marshal Carnes appeared on
the scene and had the body taken tO the Place
House, where the deceased had taken lodgings
yesterday at noon. Upon examining the clothes
Marshal Carncs found two or three letters Ofrecom-
mendation in his coat pocket, by the means of
which it was ascertaincd that the Young mans
name was Arthur Craig. One of the letters was
from the ,migrant aid agent at London Eng
land. The letter states that the bearer is IN cX-
pericncctl clerk and moral Young man, and other
wise recommends him. The other letter from the
agent of the American Immigrant Aid Society at
New York. 1t is dated May 3lst, and recommends
the bearer to Judge DevereuX, Geo Noble and
others. In his pocket book the sum of 5000 was
found, together with four five cards, of
which bears the following inscription: "Mr. X.
Craig, 81 Harlcyford Rf., Vauxhall, London" :"
This is undonbtly the address of his father
near relative. Among his clothing was found n
belt with the name of .W. II. Mason" written on
the inside. Upon examining the contents of his
trunk, many books were found with the name
"Arthur Craig written on the fly leaf. One of
these was Bible which had been presented, him
by his mother, the short inscription bearing date
May, ISL.
Deceased evidently left London for Kansas
about a month ago, and leaves ut least "a mother
who will mourn his untimely death. To judge
from his appearance he must have been in the
ncighborhool of twenty years of age. Proper
means will he taken To convey the sad intelligence
to his relatives and friends.-LdMrencc Tribune.

We understand that yonng man by the name

just before going to press, we hear, that during
the week some time, the directors of Brown Conn
ty Agricultural Society held meeting and agreed
upon Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 2lst
22tl and 2:al days of September for holding their
Sth Annual Fair. This is ten days later than the
fair was last year, and is much better time Oh
that account.
In our County there were thousands of fruit
and forest trees and also slirubbery planted out
last spring, which this gorous growing season has
caused to make rapid growth. One or two more
srch Seasons and our unlimited prairics will
present tll, appearance Of n forest rather. This
season has been worth untold thousands to this
County i'll this respect.
We understand that the ciinch bugs are working
pretty lively upon the spring wheat. This calaml-
ity together with the rust will make the crop of
spring wheat rather slim perhaps. This is anoth-
er proof of our doctrine of early planting. We
find fall wheat excellent because not overtken by
these destroying agencies, while later crops are.
The time is coming fast, We believe, when spring
wheat will be done away wich in this country.
This is a fall wheat country.
