Reliable information has reached
us that some parties recently dy-
namited fish in Yoder's dam, three
miles east of this place. The report
of the concussion was heard and n
few hours after large numbers of
dead fish floated down the stream.
We have twenty-five dollars in hand
which we will pay to any person
who will furnish us with the names
of the party who did the work.

see John Jerking lightning at the
Middleburgh station you'd believe
him the ivliest corpse you ever be-
held. Johns too fly to be found in
deep water when there's flood on
board.
