stable Thursday afternoon of last
week. He had succeeded in put

les, from which he died soon
after. Mr.. Barnes was about so
years of age and leaves Il widow
and five children.
a strange thing about this case
is that upon examination not a

thought that heart failure result
Ell from fright when the animal

Later i'll the day Mr.. johnson

sioners, comforting with them on
the matter of up-to date road

when IA county intends making
any considerable Improvement
to a portion OF a road, the high

such information as may be de

Commissioners, both concerning
the approximate cost and the best

Ii is the aim of the highway
division to encourage the adop-

The highway division is sup
