We regret to learn that our old friend,
G. L. Chase, former resident of Austin
but now the landlord of the Lanesboro
house, was suddenly stricken with parsl'
ysis last week Tuesday. The journal

horse was badly injured, and we heard
rumors yesterday that the horse would
probably die from his injuries.
