M. d. Keeney's paper mill, at
Rockton, was totally destroyed by fire
the other night. The origin of the fire
is mystery. The mill was running,
but the flames spread so rapidly that
little could be saved. The loss on
building and machinery will possibly
reach $4,000; supposed to be insured
for about one-half, but nothing definite
could be learned, as Mr.. Keeney lives
at Wilmington, Ill. The mill was run
by Messrs. Booth, Human & Co., les
sees. They lose but small amount on
stock, not much stock being allowed to
accumulate at the mill.

known as "Seventy-six Farm" near

The State Register of last S turday has
an extended article in relation to the re-
cent trial and conviction oil Lemuel Small
in the Tama County Dis. Court for a
mnrter committed some eighteen years
ago. In the article ii asserts that ''tbe
whole case was managed by The Sheriff
of Tama County, who seemed determined
to have Small convicted at all hazards in
order to crafty his revenge for Smells
escaping from him in that city September
last."i The article was doubtless written
OF inspired by the attorney for The de-
fence, and where the facts are known viii
have no weight whatever 1t appears
to us that if the intention of the article
is to work Up sympathy for Small tiat ii
will miscarry. II certainly would be Il
queer state of affairs, il Sheriff Austin is
10 be blamed because Il jaFy gives in Il
verdict in accordance with the testimony
andadmission of plaintiffs attorney FrGm
what we heard of the trial and have since
heard about it, there seemed TO be no
doubt whatever that Small participated in
the hanging, and the old saying thlt" mur-
der will out, has received another proof
of its truthfullness.

Frank had somessfall work unfinished, he
employed Murray. Some ten Gays ago
they had u settlement, which caused some
dispute, but soon passed away. Last
"Wednesday Frank went to see his brother
Geo. leaving Murray at home. Shortly
after Frank had gone Murray took one of
the horses from Tie stable and started for
Traer,with the Intention of getting it shod
and slope from the country. Frank re-
turned in the evening and finding Murray
and one of his horses gone, set out in
pursuit. He first went TO Traer where he
learned that Murray had got the horse
shod and had net been seen afterwards in
Tracr, but further learned, he had been
seen in the country going North. Hc
immediately sent q man to Waterloo and
one TO Cedar Falls in search of Murray,
WHO soon returned without effect. while
