Mr.. Isaac Phifer was restoned to the
pension rolls at the rate of $12 month
from some time in 1878, wiping out
the disgraceful record and notice that
the amount allowed was to apply on
what he had overdrawn on former al
lowance. The notice of this came
after the old man was laid away to
await the resurrection morn. The aged
widow will probably have a year to
wait with privation before her, to be
put on the dependent pension roll at
So per month.
A, D. Catlin, the Conover merchant,
was taken to Decorah on the charge of

trading one evening last week and
Mrs. Catlin waiting on her. 1t is
alleged that Mr.. Catlin waited in a
lonely place and seized the girl as she
was on her wav home. No punish
mems is too severe for such dastards.
