\ heifer, bought by Rothehbeiger X
Rodocker yesterday, has made some
very sweet, juicy beef for their patrons
To day, Notwithstanding that the own
ership of that particular heifer seems
To be in question. Rothenberger II Ro-
decker bought the critter in good faith,
and paid for her in good and lawful
money of the United States. But it
has been alleged by d farmer that the
eller had no right to sell, because the
ownership of the animal was not law
| fully vested III him. The seller and the
aforesaid farmer are Row trying to
adjust accounts between them.
| Numerous circumstances have arisen
AT times which have touch of the
ludicrouS. But the method used by a
gang of tramps at Tiskilwa, ILL.,, to Sc
cure good head gear, was surely unique.
Several of them got up nearthe railroad
track and started sham fight just as a
passenger train was pulling slowly by.
The passengers naturally crowded their
heads out of the open windows to watch
the fun, and one of the trampS who was
lying beside the track with fish pole
Knocked off half dozen hats from the
heads of the passengers. After the
train had passed they proceeded to pick
up the spOils and draw cuts for choice.
1t was necessary for the large brick
chimney at the Novelty Works to be
removed III order to place in a new
boiler of greater power. The chimney
was removed by cutting it loose at the
bottom and fastening to it a cham,
to which was attached a team of horses.
When the team was started the chm
ney fell with crash, however, very
few of the bricks were broken.
Charles Wink, the present county
treasurer, has accepted "a position i'll the
clothing department of Cline II Cos
store, at Bourbon. He assumes charge
the first of September. While our
county treasurer, owing to the ways of
political elections, gives way to one who
was more fortunate, yet he has made "a
host of friends while occupying the Of
flee of county treasurer, and their well
wishes will follow him and his family
to their home in Bourbon.
Undoubtedly Long Lake is infested
by some specie of sea serpent or huge
cat fish, for yesterday the monster Of
the deep with an immense head, and
tail at least 8 feet in length, again
made its appearance and nearly scared
some of our citizens, who happened to
be on the lake engaged in fish
ing, out of their wits. There were two
boats with MeSsrs. Charles
Gogan, Charles Fernekes, John Mills
and Al. Shade and the animal appeared
in the water between the water crafts.
The party was SO thoroughly frightened
that fishing was given up for the day.
The monster was also seen by several
other parties.-Nalpo Star.
y new form of the insanity defense
was sent up in Pittsburg court the other
day, the attorney for man charged
with murder claiming that his clients
mind was unbalanced through taking
the gold cure. In support of his claim
he introduced expert testimony, includ-
ing that of Samuel l. o Potter, late asst
ant surgeon in the army, but now in
charge of Home for Inebriates, who
says that he had over hundred Kelley
patients under his care, and that three
fourths of them were insane, the result
of the powerful drugs administered.
1t is only fair to call affection to the fact
that these men were such as had re-
lapsed after taking the cure. People
who stay cured do not appear to be eff
ected that way, and the question arises
whether the relapse is the cause of the
insanity or insanity the cause of relapse:
