In last weeks Herald mention
was made of robbery Ct 1854 from
the home of Edward Osborn of Cuba
City while he and his son were at
work in the field. Through the de-
tective work of j. o. Laird. marshal
of Cuba City, it is discovered that the
theft was not the work of robbers but
OF Mr.. Osborn's youngest son, lad
of II years. who, after taking the
money, hid it under the barn, then
turned things upside down in the
house and went to school as usual,
leaving his father and brother to dis
cover the burglary" Mr.. Laird re-
ceived the 5000 reward offered by Mr..
Osborn. 1t is said in behalf of the
boy that he has been without a moth
er's care and influence since he was
five years of age.
Benton Times: Hon. Robert NJ.
LaFollette and his business manager
Attorney Rogers came down from
Madison this week, to visit with Mr..
and Mrs Jefferson Crawford, of Hazel
Green Elva Edwards, the young
est daughter of Postmaster James
Edwards, died at her home in Hazel
Green, Saturday morning last and was
buried on Sunday. Rev. j. Challinor
preached the sermon in the NJ. F..
church and was assisted by Rev. Mr..
Sinclair. the resident pastor. Seldom
have we seen a sadder funeral, for
Elva was greately beloved by every
body. Her Sunday school class and
the Epworth league followed in body,
each depositing a floral tribute on her
grave. As the speaker spoke Of her
sweet disposition. her innocence and
love. there was not a dry eye in the
house. 1t is hardly possible to realize
that those sweet lips are forever closed
and that merry laugh is forever 81
fenced and that loving heart is stilled
bat we take comfort in the thought
that Elva is with the angels, fairer
] happier and purer than when on earth.
Nav her family meet her again.
