WAS IT MURDER!

WAS II
 The Swede by the name of Henry l.. Peterson, who has for several years talk en Horace Staples farm on shares, and who mysteriously disappeared Novem- Der 10, 1892, and had not been seen since, till last Saturday afternoon, when MT Miles was out fishing in boat. He saw something floating in the water just be- low the railroad bridge at Saugatuck. On coming nearer it proved to be the missing Swede. Coroner Powers was sent for, who ordered the body removed to Sheriff Driscoll's apartments. The scull of the deceased was broken in on the frontal bone, showing he had met with foul play. Anderson and Johnson of this place were arrested for trial and both acquitted. It seems quite evident that the body had been in the water through the winter, as it was recognized only by milk tickets found on him and SLIGO and some papers found in his pock- book.

 Wallace Ferriss, the efficient engineer at Hungerford & Co.'s elevator, has re- gently purchased brand new second hand bicycle and is becoming quite an expert rider. He says the only trouble is that the' blasted thing won't turn out, |" his latest experien ,e being an attempt to ride over Conductor Flynn, instead of around him. The conductor was stand ing on a cross-walk on Railroad avenue, conversiug with friend when down the avenue comes Wallace at 2.10 clip. "Toot-toot" says Ferriss, but the Con- ductor does not heed the signal, there being only about 40 feet each side of Flynn, of course poor Wallace could not get by, so crash he goes right into him, the genial conductor realizing that it was the fault of the wheel, very gener- ously made allowances and Ferriss con- siders himself lucky to get off so easily. pr Warner will deliver an address in the Town hall, Sunday, evening on Y.

We publish the following spec ial notice, to small taxpayers, which is comprehensive to say the least. This Is the fourth year that Mir Baldwin has collected the taxes and has always been ready to settle up his accounts with the townthe lst of March as the law directs. He evidently believes in the Scripture in- junction "what your hands find to do, do 1t with your might" If any man can show n better record, they have reason to be proud of it. Notice referred to Is as follows:
 This is simply to give notice that have de cided this year to collect in all the Sl and $2 taxes "torthwith," as my warrant and the law directs,
 Last year they dragged all through the year and beyond, and gave me 10 times more trouble aud annoyance than all the other tax es Of the town put together, which seems to me unreasonable, so have set the limit for paying these small amounts to GO days from May l, believing 1t to be better and pleasant. or for both sides Co have them paid nnd ont ot tho way.
 Those remaining unpaid after July will be collected in at once with legal costs added to wit Ten cents mile or traction of mile each way, in other words 20 cents for the smallest distance, and SO on up.
