Tuesday night and left over the Soc

Lee Gay, the Chinese laundry
man, has been dying at the point of
death for the past week, and his
death is looked for hourly. His
disease seems to be of the throat and
lungs. Lee has always been good,
industrious citizen, always attended
strictly to his own business, and we
would be glad if he would recover.
He has been in America about 19
years.
DECIDEDLY HoGG1sH.--Mrs. Rapp,
who lives northeast of Oakes, lost
three large perkers about three
months ago, and hunted the coun-
try over inquiring for them, but
could get no trace of the missing
property. She recently went to
one Of her neighbors and caught
them in the act Of killing one of
the long-lost hogs and found the
other two in possession of her ac-
commoaatiag friends, though they
had declared they had seen nothing
Of the lost property when she had
previously inquired at their place.
She took the two live animals home
and the men who had done the
appropriating and butchering said
she ought to give them half Of the
one they had killed for fattening the
three, and to this she agreed. In a
a day or so they magnanimously
kept the hams and sent her the
hogs head and the bones! We
were requested to publish the names
Of the thieves but will this time
refrain from doing so, and would
incidentally suggest that said par
ties should steal from some other
than widow if they must persist
in their lawiess practice.
