Henry Lubker tells US that we
were wrongfully informed in pub
fishing him as having q second run
away on the same day, or at all. He
thinks one was enough anyhow, as

dragged quite distance, behind the
horses heels. He says that if they
had been vicious be would have been
kicked to death.
M. Erb of Shell creek was in
town Saturday, and gave US a busi-
ness call. Like every sensible, hon.
est man, Mr.. Erb would like to see
some way devised so that district,
county and state governments would
be conducted on a more economical
basis, thus lessening the burdens of
taxation. Public debts have become
enormous, with very little to show
for them.
