, season of the week before did not wet
the ground as much as needed, and II
looks as if thoroughly wet rain is an
! impossibiity Some think this argues
cold winter and others the reverse, so
, take your choice.

A short time ago ID. Goyier of North |
AndoYer, after selling some hogs, put |
up at Dyers barn. In the morning Mr.. |
Govier missed $j5 he had about him |
the evening previous. The matter was
placed in the hands of Charley Bennett
who traced the money to Al Eustice of |
Hazel Green. who worked at the barn.
Eustce confessed taking the money,
and upon returning what he had left |
and promising to make good the bal
ance as soon as he could was allowed |
to depart.
John McMahon and wife. of Harrison,
have returned from Nebraska after |
three weeks visit with relatives and |
friends at Lincoln and Hastings. He |
reports crops good. He went out |
farther west to Cubertson and Hayes |
Center where Orr & Richards are. he
says they are doing a good business in
the law, real estate and loaning bust |
ness. When Grant County man goes
there he can make himself at home. |
Says he bought nice half section of |
land in Hayes County five miles from |
Hayes Center; saw Dave Johnson there |
who is kept busy painting. OF course
Mr. Mcmahon did not miss seeing his |
brother Tom, formerly County Treas
urcr here, and well known, says he is
doing nicely and although owning a
quarter section near by his not yet |
turned farmer. Tom is born poiti-
clan and will doubtless be a power IN
Hayes Center politics yet.
Two young men made the mistake of
selling Charley Bennett a pair of panta-
looms Monday night at such ridicu
lousy low figures that he began to look
around to see where they came from.
Hmm. Hildebrand Il Co., of Fenpim IRE,
identified them rs some of their STOCK /
that had not before been missed. Char
ley arrested the men in Beetown Tues
day, finding with them lot of pants
and other furnishing goods that have
not yet been claimed. The men were
bi ought before Justice Baldwin We'd
nesday, where Mr.. Him and clerk, |
Henry E. Roethe, identified the pants
as from their stock and the mon as two
who had called on them Monday osten-
slbly to buy pants, but after looking
oyer the stock bought nothing. The
pants evidently were stolen at that time,
the store being full of customers pre-
venting the theft being discovered. On
petition of defendants the case was con-
tinued for one week
