HIGHMoRE. Oak. April TO- r
Mr.. Ives, of st. Lawrence, met me and
came down to Miller. where the COM
mittee, Messrs. B. X. Howell, C. E.
Smith and q. Ii. Carroll, met us with a
statement of Hand county losses, as
follows: Fifty-tive to sixty families
burned out, twenty-five losing every
thing, others losing stock and farming
implements; one man burned to death
and number of others burned badly;
forty-hve to fifty head of horses and 200
mead of cattle burned. also large num-
Ders of calves, hogs, chickens,
etc., farming machinery, wagons
and great deal of grain and feed.
Estimated total loss of Hand county,
100000. The county has furnished
seed grain. but needs feed for teams
and bedding for families who lost every
thing. At Rec Heights | met f. D. En-
sign, AT that place there are fifteen
buildings burned. and they need lum-
Der very much: otherwise they are
pretty we'll cared for. There are about
thirty ladies at work sewing and max
ing such things as the people need.
They need ticking and sheeting, or
rather yard-Wide muslin; also blankets
or quits and remnants of calico. or any
thing that will do for children's dresses.
1he farmers here are poor. In Hand
county they in better shape, but will
need some staple groceries. having lost
all their chickens and pigs. All use

everything of this kind. Stoves are
generally ruined: forks, hoes. etc. are
all gone. l would suggest by way of
summing up: For Hand county, to be
sent to Miller, common lumber, $500:
lumber to Rec Heights, $50; to Miller
reed, or rather money for feed, as
they can buy corn here at 20 to % cents
per buShel; bedding. such as ticking.
blankets or quilts, OF anything that will
make same; staple groceries, forks,

Some have lost their teams, and
viii need money to replace them, also
to buy hogs. Everything in the way of
grain and feed can be bought here. If
you can get deadhead rates, some flour
should be sent to this point. Highmore,

Farmers are needy, and should have

deadhead, few stoves. forks, hoes,

prominent residents of that district

To the Honorable Board of Park Commits

taxpayers of Dayton's bluff. feeling our
selves aggrieyed by reason Of your recent ac-
ton i'll resembling your former resolution
conforming Indian Mound park, and aft
erwardS passing resolution taking blocks

reconsider the action which has been taken.
in order that the wishes of the people in this
section OF the city may be fairly considered,
and that park may not forced upon them
which they do moi want, but for which large
assessments will be levied
We are dissatisfied with the location of
this proposed Lincoln Park; its situation is
utterly undesirable; it would benefit only
q favored few. and outside this number who
own nearly all the property in its immediate
vicinity, it is universally objected to by the
citizens of Dayton bluff. of whom your pc
utIoners constitute representative portion:
wherefore we pray that your honorable body
|,
proposed Lincoln park to be recousidered
and that this park be abandoned, and not be
forced upon us against our wishes.
