From fricnd ia Chase township We
learn that few days ago Nicholas
Hoslsin lost one Of his oxen in the fol-
lowing manner: Hc was hauling logs
to Ringler's Mill, and while passing
over the dam at the mill, the bridge
over the wastc-gate gave way, precip-
itating the oxen into the water, and
before they could br rescued, one of
them was dead. Mr.. X. Burlcigh,
while assisting the rescue, met with q
very painful accident in dislocating
his shoulder. The rescued OK was in a
badly bruised condition. The loss of
the animal is serious one to Mr..
Hoskins. 44
A few weeks ago, a l1-year-old son
of Ed. HOlford entered the dwelling of
Geo. North ut this place, one evening
while the family were absent. He
then put out, and the next thing heard
from him was a report that he had sto-
len some 10 or $l2 from parties living
In Oviatt's house, Chase township. A
warrant was issued, and Sheriff Oviatt
began to trace the fugitive. Monday,
he received word that the boy was at
Midland jail, and from thence Oviatt
brought him, Tuesday night, and he is
now in Jail. 1t is probable that he will
be sent to the Reform School. Sheriff
Oviatt informs us that the boy at Mid
land, in broad daylight, unhitched a
horse attached to buggy, and drove
several miles into the country before
overtaken by the officers. Also, that
while in Midland Jail, a fellow prisoner |
missed some twenty odd dollars, and
search revealed the money I'm Holfords |
bunk. The unfortunate boy seems ut
terly lacking In a proper sense of NOR
ality.
