On Saturday morning Mr.. Kahle feeling al
unusual uneasiness about his horses went to
the pasture where they were, as soon as he got
up, and there found one of them In a dying
condition and the other badly hurt. 1t seemt
as though the thunder and lightning had 81
confused the horses that they ran into the barb
wire fence, the one so badly cut that dealt
ensred, the other will likely get we'll. As Mr.
Kahle has not been here but about two years
and as he has exhausted his means IN improv'
ing his place, the loss is keenly felt.
Cal. Tvavis had horse in Mr.. Servey'i
pasture that was dangerously cut In the sam'
manner during the same night.

taken from his statement and circulated in
several of the papers of Illinois and reached
the ears of some of his friends here:
Mrs. John r. Henderson received letter
from her daughter residing at Cerro GOrtio In
regard to the alleged robbery of the old man
Carver which corrObOrates the facts as
published i'm the Times week before last. Mr.
Carve was n resident of CerrO Gordo and had
gone to Humboldt Kansas on q visit. He
purchased q return ticket by way OF Delvan,
There were but few passengers on the train AMI
hearing subdued conversation without being
able to understand its fnll meaning, the old man
jumped at the conclusion that a scheme was be-
ing fixed up to rob him, while the the train was
switching at Mt. Pulaski. The old man. fears
were considerably worked up, and hiding his
money behind seat, he jumped OF of the cars
while moving. This accounts for the spraineti
leg, The old man is getting childish on account
of his advanced age, and his mind Is considered
somewhat Eighty. His grandsons recovered
the money from the train authorities, who
found the poeketbook where the old man had
hidden it NALLEYITE.
