GUS misfortune last Sunday afternoon.
He was attempting to cross the south
fork of Deer creek, which was very
high, at Martins ford. When about
half way across his team got off the
ford and into swimming water. 1t
was impossible for them to swim
straight across with the buggy, so they
took an angling course. Before they
got near the bank however they got
entangled in wire fence which was
stretched across the stream and was
entirely covered with water. Mr..
Kreuter thought it was some brush
and got out of the buggy to try to
remove it. When he found what the
obstruction was he knew that it was
no use to try to get the horses out, SC
started for the shore. He barely had
strength enough to reach shallow
water, and before he could get assist
ance, both of the horses were drown
ed. The loss is severe one as Glenn
valued one of the horses, which was
his own, at $780,, while he had to pay
to Ellis & Ireland from whom he had
hired it, 500 for the other. He was
pretty well satisfied at the time how
ever, to get off with his own life.
1t has been frequently asserted that
in private conversation, Mr.. Hutch
ings, attorney for the Leaguers, did
not hesitate..to declare his belief that
the railroad title to all of the even
sections and to all except a few of the
odd sections in this county, was perfect
IIy valid. In confirmation of these
assertions we are informed on goot
