One of our citizens and man who was
visiting his brother in the city went buck
hunting on our streets on Wednesday
morning, and after trying to capture
pair of tame deer, the property of Pat
Waters, they took n gun and shot the
buck, and then, hunter like, drew him off
by the legs. Failing to give Mr.. W. any
satisfaction they were arrested for mali
cious damage to personal property. The
non resident was caught at the depot in
Corunna as he was about leaving the
country. The parties were brought be
fore Justice Taylor, but before being ar
raigued they settled with Mr.. Waters by
paying him $50 for the buck and paying
costs charged at $500. The TINES thinks
it was not very paying sport

Tuesday morning, of Hamilton Land,
aged nearly 10 years, a brother of Mrs.
L. ]. Fling, of this city, and an employee
of the Messrs. Woodland, whose parents
reside at or near Hudson, Lenawee Co.

mates, genial in his disposition, and very
gentlemanly in his intercuure with all
with whom he came in contact. His hab-
its were good, and thus early in life he
was pledged around the alters of the In

total abstinence and prohibition. His
sudden death, for he had only been sick

cold taken during a recent sleigh ride that
extended far into the evening, causing
typhoid pneumonia His funeral was at.
