Grant county, puts his trusts togeth-
er in this wise: "'In God we trust

AS an indication that the Vino
ma, Alma x Northern Railroad along
the bank of the Mississippi river in
this county is to be a reality, it may
be of interest to state that Register
Boughton received on Tuesday for
record deeds to the right of way of
the railroad through the street front
ing on the river at Cassville. Mr..
Boughton has, althogether, recorded
about eighty-fve deeds for right of
way for the Winona, Alma d North
ern.-IeIler.
Some miscreants visited the
premises of John Blotz, four miles
southeast of here, last Sunday, and
stole q large quantity of cream from
bis spring house, robbed his hens
nests of their eggs, and even des-
troyed the nests of his setting mems
Such conduct cannot lie too severely
condemned, and in this case seems
all the more despicable and mean
from the fact that Mr.. Blotz and
family are noted for their liberal
hospitality towards all who visit
them. Mr.. Blotz now instructs us
to warn all persons to keep off his
premises on Sunday hereafter, as all
Sunday trespassers will be dealt with
in future according to law CAron-
icle.
"A lively running race of quar-
ter-mle dash on the fair grounds
Monday evening between horses be
longing to Ed FARMLAND, Of Mont
fort, and Harry PengeIly, Of this
village, resulted in Harry being ten
dollars better off than before the
start. 1t won't do for Montfort boys
to come fooling around Dodgevile
horses and being too free with their
money S,H
-Rumors were rife, last week, of
an elopement from Lancaster, an I'M
heard occurrence here, and some
doubt vas had us to the horrid trans
action being fact But recent de-
velopments prove that an elopement
did occur, and the parties did really
live in Lancaster--for a few short
months. The parties in this case
are first cousins, Brodt by name
Fred and Carrie. Fred is the law
fully welded husband Of sister to
Carrie, by whom he had two chill
dren-a babe four months old and q
boy two years of age On Saturday
morning, May 10, Brodt informed
his wife that he was going with his
team to Wyalusing to work on the
new railroad He went. On Mon
day afternoon, following, Carrie
Brodt took the four o'clock train,
ostensibly for a visit to Mt. Hope
but went 10 Prairie du Chen, instead
On the arrival of the night train al
the latter place, somewhat intoxi
Gated individual and female was
seen to be fondly hugging and kiss
ing each other They were Fred
and Carrie To an hotel they went
and playing the oman and WIFE role
took q room together, aud on Tues
day morning started for Iowa. Al
last accounts the pair had not beer
captured, but that they will be pre-
sent at the next sitting of the Craw
ford County Circuit Court there 1t
no doubt
The worst feature of this low-dowr
business is, that Brodt deserted hi
wife and children, taking with hin
every cent he possessed and leaving
them entirely destitute.-HrdI6
