A FALSE RUMOR.

ton. Tnero is not ono word OF truth
in this. w, know OF no ring. We
chcorfally acknowledge aud declare
that the SIGNAL will give the Demo

standard bearers Of the ra:ty, and we
recognize in them men of abi!ity,who
can command our slrviccs. We are
free 20 admit that it. was .by their
solicitation, rs well rs many other
Staunch democrats, that we took
charge Of tho paper, and in their be-
half it will be run. and wo arc glad

Strawn, Esq, formerly OF Ottawa, but now q
resident of Buckley, Iroquois county. The
young man was a little "of'' in his mind
and a year ago was placed in the asylum at
Kankskee, but was in the frequent habit of
strayiug away from there, as he formerly had
often, done from home, for few days at a
time, but always returned. About the 1st of
March he left the asylum IN the usual way,
but not returning within reasonable time,
search was made for him, but in vain. About
that time 1t was learned man had been seen
to Jump or fall from the Kankakee railroad
bridge into the river, and 1t was concluded il
must have been poor Douglas. The body
was not found, however, until week ago
when it came ashore in Custer township, AZ
teen miles below the bridge, and being idea
tilted was taken charge of by the family and
brought here on Tuesday, as above, and

A perfect success are those splendid mixed

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1883-04-28

Prospects seem quite naitering for the es
tablishment OF a distillcry here, with a CAPT
tai stock OF $4,000. Ernest Meyer, Of ST
Louis, is the gentleman having the matter
in hand, and he has already interested several
capitalists in his project. Besides the con-
sumption of 500 bushels OF corn daily in the
manufacture Of high wines, several hundred
head Of cattle will be kept and fattened fol
the market, making the investment, 1t is
thought, highly remuneratiye to the stock,
holders.
