Nothing of much Importance has
transpired in our city during the past
week The heavy rains have washed
out the fences and bridges 50 that it
is almost impossible for a person to
travel One of our large bridges north
west Of town was washed out, and it
will be some time before there will be
any travel on that road. There has
been a great deal Of damage done to
the crops bY so much rain but if it
should become good weather now, we
would have fair crops The per
sons mostly damaged by the Hoods in
our village are Joe Stockart, our miller,
Gus Tourmoski, K. n. Hoskins, Ira
Fox, F. Barley and w II Brown.
Others have been damaged some, but
not so much as those that ! have men
toned Joe Stockart suffered more
damage than any one else. The Bap-
list church was stuck by igntning and
the steeple was completely wrecked.
There was no one in the church so no
one was hurt.

Joe. Muldoon who has been laid up
three weeks by a kick from a horse is

The streets in our little village are so
much better than the Lancaster streets
that we feel quite proud Of them. In
fact the streets of our county seat are
the worst pieces of highway that can
be found between Beetown and any
where else in Grant County. Lancaster
evidently needs more rocks.

About a quarter of mile east Of

On June 10. 1892, Alfred Humphrey

into the house, but as he did not appear
George went to the barn where he found
him lying on his side, insensible, near
the heels OF one of the horses he had
been using. George ran crying to the
house, whereupon the family rushed to
the barn. He was carried into the
house where they placed him on cot
and did everything in their power to
revive him until the arrival of the
physician who, after careful examin-
alton pronounced that his death had
been instantaneous
