Henceforth our citizens win miss from
the streets the familiar form OF one OF
our oldest settlers, Geo. B. Hayes, who llls
died Tuesday morning, January 9th, At :
O'Clock. at his room over Lobb's barber
shop on Main street. He came to Austin
in 1856, and soon after started general
merchandise store, which he run for flve
or six years, the investment proving very
profitable. He purchased or obtained
possession of many very fine farms in
Mower county, besides Investments IN
mortgages and stock. About 1870. he
was considered to be worth 800. OOO-the
richest man in Austin. Since that time
he claims to have lost large sums of mon
ey, in wheat speculationsit is thought,
until his obligations more than equalied
bis assets. A cursory glance at the rec
ords reveals the fact, however, that there
are still quite number of nice farms held
in his name. and it is thought other
wealth will appear in the final settlement
In the books of the Register OF Deeds
office, no name occurs so frequently as
that of Geo. B. Hayes. If he died penni-
less, it must be that his debts are held by
his brother in Boston, as he is not known
to he owing anything in Minnesota.
During his entire life in Austin he has
been addicted to the use of strong drink,
but during the past ten or twelve years 1t
seems to have gained the mastery over
him, and he died at last of alcoholism,
adding another to the long list of strong
men who have gone down before the
ruthless destroyer He was bachelor,
and at the time of his death, about CO
years of age. Mr. Hayes was a man OF
considerable natural ability, and in his
earlier years conducted his business af-
fairs with great success. He has broth
er, Wentworth Hayes, we'll known here,
who Is wealthy citizen of LIE Roy. He
also has another brother living in Boston,
with whom he was more or less connect
ed in business matters. Wentworth
Hayes arrived in the city yesterday after
noon, and will start with the remains of
his brother for Boston to-day at noon.

Why not Have One In Sedala's
New Court House.

Sedalia has had in the past temporary
signal station situated in Heard's sd-
dition, but il was blown down during last
summers gales. Situated as Sedslia Is, on
high open ground in the very center of the
state, it ought to have not only Q signal
station, but q permanent one to which
should DO attached an observatory and q
weather department as complete as any In
the United States, and there can be little
doubt it could be secured With
with little effort were The people
to intimate their desire for it,
Just now, however, Sedalia is not only in
position to ask for such an institution
but TO offer the government q very large
inducement to grant it because it can be
done with little expense. Sedalia's new
court house is situated on one of the high

plan for Sedalia people to request their
congressman to take this matter in hand
and secure an appropriation from the gov

no cost to them and so little to the govern
meni? Its establishment here would
prove of great advantage to the people,

our county Jail were exercising in the cor
ridors, q quarrel came up between james
Penwick and M. n. Spencer, which resulted
in the latter striking the former two blows
in the face, csusing his lip to Puff up to

Spencer is the self-confessed deserter who
surrendered himself to Sheriff Hill q few
weeks ego. He has been very quiet since
his incarceration, in fact being sick almost
ever since he was put in prison.
Penick is qusrrelsome, and provoked
the row by heaping abusive epithets or

He soon learned to his sorrow, however
that he had aroused the wrong man, for in
the first round he was knocked out of time

himself in becoming manner.
