We regret to learn of the death of
VIM. Dewing, one of the old settlers of
Grant, which occurred on the 10Th
inst. in Little Grant. His fatal malady
was bronchitis. He was eighty-six
years of age. His residence in Grant
county covers twenty-Seven years and
he has lived in this county since 1884, at
which time he emigrated from England.
The acquaintance of Mr.. Dewing will
always remember him as respected
member of the community, fair in his
dealings, and a straightforward man
in all respects. We note with sorrow
the passing away within the past few
months of many of the old citizens of
Grant, and trust the survivors may vet
long continue with us.

arrested on Thursday last, charged
with making an indecent exposure of
his person in one of our saloons. The
trial was had before justice Laughton.

On Sunday morning last, about 8
o'clock. Mr.. Henry Nooser, residing in
the western part of the city, was awak-
ened by some one knocking at his door.
He jumped out of bed, and on opening
the door, discovered some one leaving
his premises at an unusual gait. A
basket on the door step attracted his
attention, he picked it up, and carried
it into the house, and found that it
contained a newborn male infant.
Besides the suit of clothes in which it
was dressed, there was lot of other
infants clothing. nursing bottle and
a five dollar bill. Where the little
