Ex-County school superintendent r. a
Brown seems to be having more than his
share Of misfortune Of late. Last week
hail destroyed his crops. and this week
three of his horses were killed by ligntn |
ing.
Sheriff Collins was at Andoyer and
Bristol this week on business connected
with the CHASTITY find OF the dead man
found I'M manure heap at Andover. Mr..
Collins sent for the clothes OF the dead
man for identification by III. p. Brown. a
living near Spain. They were
identified asthe clothes belonging to the
missing man from a dozen or more suits
aud everything so far except the name
points that the man found in the manure
pile at Andover is the man sought for.
The name the missing nan weat by here
was sandy" the last name unknown. MIR.
Collins wrote to Minnesota where he was
employed and found that the name was
Haskins. The missing man wanted Is
Vim. Kenny, and with the exception of
the nam the identification is complete.
Sheriff Collins has been working on the
case ever since last February, and is
still at 1t, and the 0utceme is being
watched with much interest. The miss
ing man that Mr.. Collins Is looking for
had between forty and fifty dollars on
his person, and it is conjuctured that he
may have met with foul play. Last fall
four men came TO Marshall county To
work with a threshing machine. They
went away together aud some time after
a brother of Kenny wrote Sheriff Collins
from the southern part Of the state that
his brother had not come home and a
search was Immediately instituted. The
three men that were with Eenny here
We're at once suspected of knowing
something about the missing man. Th,,
older of the three was traced To Des
Moines, Iowa, and when the dead body
was found at Andover, the authorities
at Des Moines were notified To hold the
man for further orders. As the Journal
goes to press the matter rests with future
interesting developments To hear FROM
Britton Journal.
