Last Friday night two brothers, John
and Frank Slee loaded themselves to the
muzzle with beer, whisky and other in
toicating beverages, and between the
hours of II and II o'clock, sailed forth
with the avowed intention of getting up a
fight. 1t seems that the object of their
wrath was some man living down in
"Goose Town." and during the period OF
transit between the place of taking the
last drink and the place designed for the
attack, the two brothers got into an alter
cation, which resulted in the younger
Slee being severely pounded by his broth
er Frank. The din of the contest became
so annoying to the immediate neighbor-
hood that the Marshal was called i'm to re-
store quiet. He placed the two loving
brothers in the city bastile where they re-
posed in each others arms until morning,
when they were escorted into the pres
snce of the Mayor. After hearing the evil
dence, his honor fined John $40 or ten
days Oh the streets and Frank $25 OF
twenty-five days.

Wheat $1.5O per Bushel.

Nothing would please us better and
nothing would make the farmer happier
than to know and realize that they could
and would get $l.50 per bushel for their
wheat within the next months. But we
fear, when, we look at the surroundings,
that this pleasure will hardly be realized
so soon, and it may be not for several
years, for the last four or five years far
mers have raised too much wheat to get
a good price, the supply has been largely
in excess of the demand. But we take
pleasure in saying this, that while the
price ofwheat and other grains are SO very
low, that all may rest assured that they
can get everything in the line of drugs,
medicines, oils, paints, books, wall paper
and stationery at equally low prices, so
that at the end of the year they will have
saved about as much as usual, because
when the price of wheat is high drugs are
usually high.

Napoleon Grange, No. 214.

Ed. .NoRTHwESST:-Last week there ap-
peared in the columns of the Signat over
the nom de plune OF "Plow Boy" report
of recent meeting of the directors of the
Henry County Agricultural Grange Fair.
The versatile and verbose reporter refers
to the Napoleon Grange as "that philan-
thropic grange" This is very benifcent
in "Plow Boy" and if said in true broth
erly spirit we could fully appreciate it,
but knowing the personal feelings of this
said "Plow Boy" "toward some of the in
dividual members ofthe Napoleon Grange,
we are inclined to the belief that he either
ment to quell us with good big blast of
irony or he is most damnably and deplor-
ably ignorant of the real meaning of the
word philanthropy. This said "Plow Boy''
together with another Of Damascus town
ships grangers, (perhaps it was one of the
"five card monta" men referred to last
weekly seem to have little God of their
own, little universe of their own and a
little divine code of their own, the sum and
substance Of which is "we will rule or do
our d--dst to ruin. At least this is fair
inference to be drawn from their actions
in the immediate past. The Napoleon
members of tie Grange Fair Association

and submitted to the dominition OF "Plow

Man Killed at Grelton,

On Monday evening of last week ter
Eble accident happened at Grelton, this
county. On that evening as the east bound
freight, No. 7, was pulling out car OF
lumber, Mr.. John Nebiker, head break
man, was riding back to the car on the
break beam of the engine truck, one OF
his feet caught in the guard rail and held
him fast while the tender passed over him,
breaking one arm and one leg. After the
tank had passed over him he made an ef-
fort to get out between the tank and the
engine, and the drive wheel ran upon him
across the lungs, crushing out his heart.
The body was terribly mangled. The un-
fortunate man lived at Delphos, leaving q
wife and two children.

An Inhuman Act.
lCorrc r ,ndence Toledo Bee ]

lCorre r ondence Toledo Bee
DEsHLER, o., July 15.-Joe Buregard
who was killed at this place last Sunday
evening, about half-past 10 o'clock, was
taken to tho depot, and his mangled re-
mains were left lying on track on the
depot platform from that time until
o'clock Monday afternoon! They were
then dumped into rough box, just as
they had been gathered up, without wash
ing, with lone boot on the leg that was not
cut off, and the other boot thrown into
the box. The box was then carted away
into the woods some distance and bur-
led!
It was certainly the most shocking and
inhuman treatment ever witnessed in this
or any other country. Savages would
spurn such an act. 1t is lasting dis
grace upon the officials of this town, who
permitted the remains to lay at the depot
where passengers were waiting for trains,
and where they were compelled to be an
noyed by the odor and the horrible sight
presented.
Joe Buregard had squandered money the
cursed saloons of this town to have re-
ceived the burial of a rich man, as he re-
seived SIS per week in the stave fac
tory. A CITIZEN.

Drowning of a Former Napoleon

browning Oh u fOfIuef NdpOicoh ooy
We clip the following sad news from the
Oberlin Negs of the 11th. Mr.. Munger
was a former resident of this place, and
while living here was known as an excel.
lent young man. His sad fate will be re-
gretted by many old acquaintsnccs:
"The friends of the family of VIM. B.
Munger, residing on East Lorain street,
were greatly shocked on Tuesday alter
noon to learn by telephone from Mr.. G..
w. Gibson that the eldest son, Frank ].
Munger, had been drowned in the lake.
A party of about fifteen Oberlln people
went to Randa!l's grove, about three
miles east of the village of Lorain, on that
morning for days pleasure and recrea-
ton, Geo. w. Gibson taking load and
the others going in seperate convey
ances.
In the afternoon Frank Munger took a
boat and after rowing about some time
came in and put on bathing suit and
with others went out into the lake some
distance, using a board for a float, and
when within about forty rods of the
beach, let loose from the board and COM
menced to swim. He called for help, but
went down in about five feet of water.
The company on the shore, among which
were his mother, sister, brother and in
tended bride, soon realized his danger,
and several men hastened to the spot with
boats and in bathing suits, bat the body
had disappeared, and the sad fact was re-
allied that Frank was drowned. The
search continued all the afternoon and un-
til 9 O'Clock in the evening, one young
man from Elyria diving many times with
no result. 1t is supposed that he was ta-
ken with sudden cramping, and when he
went down was carried away by the un-
der current.
Fred Chancey and John Watson imme-
diately drove to Lorain as rapidly as pos
sible and secured DR.. J. S. Dale, who kind
" came and rendered such assistance as
he could to the friends, but he could dc
nothing to restore the lie of the one un-
der the water. The sad company reached
home about o'clock in the afternoon
Mr.. T.. r. Fields, and Fred. Munger, the
younger brother of Frank, remained, and
with Mr.. Randall, the proprietor of the
grove, and others, watched the shore and
rowed about in the lake until o'clock in
the evening and resumed the search the
next morning, assisted by some young
men from Lorain with graphing hooks
but up to late in the afternoon the body
had not been found.
Frank J. Munger was "a years of age or
the 4th of this month, and was member
of the First Congregational Church. Ht
was soon to have been married to Miss
Nellie Blynn of this place, and intended
to locate in Kansas.
Mr.. Munger and family are very CRATE
full to all who have so kindly assisted in
their aff1iction. Appropriate funeral SER
vices will he held in due time.
