Robert Burton tried to prevent his
younger brother, Bud, from return

who said, "You id fool, you had
better get your coffin ready before
you insult me-" And then went to
the house near by, and, having pro.
cured a shotgun, returned. He then
threatened to kill Robert, who, open.

This had hardly been uttered ere Bud

A few days ago, q hunting party
eft this city for the happy hunting
ground on the south side of the river.
One of the party had a new breech-
loading gun which he was very anx-
ious to try but after tramping the
most of the day, footsore and weary,
hungry and tired, they set down to
rest by the wayside without having

olives over there" and is accustomed
to the ways of hunters, fixed up lit
tie job to get even with some one
who had killed . turkey for him .
few days before and left it lying in
the barnyard dead.
He followed up our hunters with
his dead turkey and when he found
them, they, regretting to come home
empty handed, opened negotiations
with him for the aforesaid gobler,
and made . bargain ON the boys own
terms. So far everything was appar.
emily dealt squarely from the top,
and not until they got well toward
home did they discover that the tur-
key had been dead for two or three
DAYS and had commenced to smell
pretty loud. The joke was good
one, their money was gone and they
had logged tho decaying fowl for
miles, and one of the party concluded
that the foul smell should not beat
him out Of his fifty cents altogether,
and they waltzed across the bridge
with their game as proud as peacocks.
BY "pooling their issues" they had
money enough to buy few glasses of
beer, and they were in good humor
for the beverage that cheers but not
inebriates.
They found convenient place and
after stacking arms around their game
ordered out the extract, until they
had got enough. The bill was to be
settled, and as NO one of the party
had money enough to pay the bill the
German offered to take the turkey for
the beer which proposition was glad
ly accepted and the party left the
premises. They had get only . half

A Bladensburg, Wapello county,
correspondent of the Keosauqua Re
publican, writes that paper as fol-
lows:
"Farmers here as elsewhere feel
discouraged, having had bad previ-
Gus crops, much sickness this fall, and
now such low prices for their hard
earned produce. We hope, however,
that southeastern lows may gain a
small profit from very extensive
pork packing house now almost be-
ing completed in Ottumwa. It 10 the
most extensive house in the west, q
description OF which we may give in
q future communication. The COM
pany have square 5 acre lot and one
corn Grub now finished ,chich reaches
across the entire lot. They design
feeding hogs brought from other
States about three weeks until the fe-
yer is out of them, which stock will
acquire in sbipping-such an estab-
lishment will demand large supplies
of corn"
That correspondent had better come
to Ottumws and get better posted.
The pork house company have ninety
acres of q lot and expect to cover the
most of 1t with pens, cribs, ice houses,
tenement houses, etc. A ..dve acre
lop wouldn't hardly be large enough
to hold the pork house and ice house
and leave room to get around them.
