When you see a lady on the street
stop and suddenly kick and reach
backward and downward, don't be

halls the woman with the trail as a
blessing.

stolen a pocketbook contain

he took it, he will stand a good chance

The suicide found near Eaton on
Tuesday of last week by some hunt

name of Henry Moldthan, of the city
of indianapolis. He was a German
by birth, aged about "a years and a
tailor by trade. He attended a we'd
ding ceremony on Thursday evening
and left home on Friday without say

had no bad habits his family know
nothing of the aus that led him to
the rash act. A brother and brother
took his remains from this
place to Indianapolis, on Thursday
morning.
