A steer belonging to "Gusta" Muller, that
was being led home from the pasture a few
days ago, got wild, broke away from the man,
and in its fury ran off over the lodges near
Eliza Races, falling $50 to 200 feet to the
river and being killed.
We have been scolded at by reason of an
item in regard to certain granite monument
that appeared some weeks ago in which
parties though that an intentional slight had
been placed upon them. The information was
obtained from one of the parties to the con-
tract, but he neglected to say that the order
was placed by J. S. McQuivey. We certainly
do not wish to slight any one, but are obliged
to depend upon others for large share of
our items.
