accidentally while running on the logs. Mr..
Pratt did not summon jury, as it was plainly
case of accidental drowning.
A CARD.-I take this method of informing
the public at large, that have found five hun
dred dollars in gold that was hidden under the
sod, and must thank the wonderful powers OF
Madam Mitchell, who caused me to dream OF
the exact spot where the money was buried.
I then proceeded to the place SO mysterlously
designated and got the money.
GEO. SYKES, Wisconsin.
Madam Mitchell stops at the Central House,
corner Second and Chestnut streets.
controversy has arisen on account of a
claim made by one Is. NJ. coles TO the eHect
that he owns, by virtue of purchase made,
one acre of land, on which Mccormick, Ander-
son & Co.'s mill now stands. Nothing has
been said heretofore in the GLOBE because at
first there seemed to be no ground for even
local item, but as Mr.. Coles seems
inclined to push his claim it may be as well to
state that after careful investigation and in
quiry the facts are about these: The property
which Coles claims was once owned by a man
named Shasby, and by some means Coles found
this out, and made the purchase. The only
trouble is that the acre of land cannon ba
located any more definitely than that it lies
somewhere in st. Croix county, and somewhere
between st. Oroix Falls and Hudson, the only
definite land mark being stump, stone, and
perhaps tree, which in the course of twenty
i've years would very likely be just little OBJ
liberated. If he can positively locate his
claim within two miles of the mill he may
succeed in bringing his case to head, but at
present the prospect seems to be rather slim.
