GEORGE MAYS DEATH. old set
tiers in this county remember well
the eccentric, impulsive and some
what erratic genius, George May, who
a number Of years since pfactlced law
| In this place, and in The intervals OF
business delighted in measuring
muscle with Van Bennett or any 9th
or man who might happen, intention
ally or otherwise, TO give offence Ia
him by word or deed. Mr. May was
| a man OF marked natural talents, very
quick, shrcwd and active, but given
| To too free usc of ardent drinks.
His home Of late has been at Dead
wood City, Black Hills country. The
papers announce his death AT Sioux
City, and some say at Sankton, on
the Dist ult. II Is said he died in pov-
erty, and was buried by the hands Of
charity.
The Ottumwa CoUiey of last week
has the following particulars:
Capt. George May, an old resident
Of Ottumwa aud Knoxville, In this
State, died mt Gankton, Dakota, Tues
day, the DIST inst, Of typhoid fever,
and In such INDECENT circumstances
that he was buried ut the hands Of
charity. Captain May WAS son Of
Col. May, of Springfield Ills, who
was at an early day Wing member
OF Congress, from that district, and a
great friend Of Abraham Lincoln.
After studying law in his fathers
Office, he came to Ottum wa about 1914,
and entered into the practice of law
and Democratic politics. He practic-
ed his profession here with varying
success, until about 1850, when he
married the daughter of James Is.
Wright, an old and respected citizen
Of this county, and at one time one Of
our county commissioners. Directly
thereafter he moved to Knoxville,
Marion county, Iowa, where he re-
NAMED until about 1861, when his
wife died.
In 1864 he was appointed Commits
sary Of Subsistence, with the rank of
Captain, which office, however, he
held but short time.
Since the death Of his wife he has
been sort Of Wandering jew
From 1860 to Lincoln's assassination,
he was Republican, owing per-
haps to his personal relations to, and
attachment for Lincoln. He was
among the first pioneers to the gold
mines Of Montana, Idaho and Colora-
do, in each Of the mining frontiers
eking ont precarious existence as IA
mining lawyer. For n while he re-
sided at Lincoln, Nebraska, and about
1870 served rs clerk OF the State
Senate.
In 1874 he turned up in New Or
leans as an attorney for McEnery, in
the Gubernatorial contest,
The last time he was I'm Ottumwa,
according to our present recollection
was in the spring of 1875, when he
was en- route from New Orleans to the
Black Hills, where IL seems he has
been from the time of the first discov-
cry of gold there. He has been of late
practicing his profession In Deadwood
City, and at the time Of his death lie
was In Yankt0n prosecuting Mccall
for the murder Of Wild Bill.
Capt. George May was lawyer of
no mean parts, and an uncommonly
effective advocate, and eloquent stump
speaker.
He was about SIS years''of age. He
was an crratic inilammatory man, of
exceedingly Irregular habits, other
wise with his great natural talents,
he might have become one Of the fore
most men of the country.

This Is false. The people OF Peiia
know that the county Is not prepar-
cd TO bridge the Des Moines at the
present time, and they do not ask u.
I will frankly say and IL is no new
belief with me, that in Justice to both
aides Of the river there should be
bridge at the most suitable point on
the river. so as to accommodate Tie
north side, for the following reasons:
The county seat being on tins SIDE,
all public business is done at Knox
vile. such rs holding courts, paying
taxes. etc. There are times during
Winter and Spring, that 1t is impossi-
Die for the river to he crossed, caused
by the breaking mp of ice anu the
overflow. Courts have been compell-
ed to adjourn. at great expense to the
county, because Of failure TO obtain
witnesses living on the north side.
Persons at such times desiring to
come to Knoxville are compelled to
come by way oil OttuihWa' some w
miles around. The people OF Lake
Prairie. Red Rock, Summit and Perry
townships pay great deal OF money
into our treasury, and IL seems TO me
that a bridge should be built across the
river in order that they should have a
free road at all times TO the county
seat
This is All there is for the slang
hurled at me by the malicious editor
OF The JOURNAL aud his cowardly
anonymous correspondents. ! leave
the matter, with the consciousness of
having done nothing unworthy of a
public officer. "A good citizen, and an
honest man.

II Mr.. Lucas really thought before
election that an iron bridge should be
built across the Des Moines al the ex-
pense of the tax payers Of the whole
county, and this question was TO be
an issue at the polls, would he not
have better acted the part of an hon.
est man by letting his views Of the
question be known in Dallas, Wash
ington, Indiana, Franklin, Liberty,
Pleasant Grove, Knoxville and other
townships, all over the county, as
well as in Pella? That dodge Is too
transparent, Mr.. Reformer. 1t hasn't
the look Of honesty upon its frontal.
Why did Mr.. l.. go to Pella just the
day before election TO promulgate his
views on this question, when ii was
too late for his scheme to become
known in other parts Of the county.
That won't do, Mr.. H., and neither
your party nor your party organ will
dare to endorse IL boldly before the
people OF this county.

A Prophecy Fulfilled.

In 1866, the special correspon-
dent of the London Times, w. HI.
Russell, wrote: "As a mite would
in all probability never have been
seen bat for the Invention ofcheese
SO it may be that there Is some un-
developed creation waiting perdu
for the FIRST piece of gutta percha
which comes down to the sea bot
tom to arouse his faculty and full
fill his functions of life--a gutta-
pei cha boring and eating terodo,

meal since the beginning Of the
world. This enemy of submarine
cables has already made his APP
pearance. It is q crustacean, less
than a quarter OF an inch long, and
known as Limnoria terebrans,
Zone breakfast which he may
fake say Or j. A Gladstone,
"may cost more than the breakfast
of any luxurious Roman epicure
in anciens times, because he may
destroy whole cable, and it will
take year to repair the damage
which he may do in a minute. p
