COUNTY NEWS.
THAT MIAMI RIVER BILL.

Mr.. VIM. Wolfe, connected with Mr..
Allinger & Sons mills, was surprised
the last week, in going from Degraff
to West Liberty to learn from many of
their patrons that prominent citizen
of Degraff, and perhaps others, had
circulated petition among the people
to have the mill dam taken out, the
river, dredged, ETC., saying to the peo-
pie that IAN agreement had been ar
ranged between Mr.. Pool and Allinger
& Sons, viz: that if an engine was fur
nished sufficient to run the mill, the
company would be satisfied to let the
dam be taken out.
No statement could have been made
farther from the truth. 1t would cost
81, 900 year to run the mill by stsam
power above the expense of running it
by water, and any one with drop of
sense can see Mr.. Allinger would never
accept any such proposition.
Many persons were induced to sign
that petition feeling that if an AMIGA
BILE settlement had been arranged, they
could as good citizens, and as Mr.. AL
linger's patrons, conscientiously do so,
but when they learned to their surprise
that if that prayer was answered, it
meant the destruction of the mill with
the dam, as no steam mill off the rail-
road down where this one is could be
successfully run by any one, they were
ready to demonstrate against it. No.
Our people want our good friends in
Degraff, (for we have some there) and
in the county to have the real facts and
no misrepresentation.
Allinger & Sons could i'll afford to
take $4,000 for their property, and
this whole country for radius of Is
miles or more around, would be de-
prived of milling privileges, the loss OF
which could not be estimated. In the
last week the river has been high
enough to form some estimate of the
extent of the overflow, and persons
who have looked it over claim that
there is very little overflow until the
water is level with the dam, and then
any ones philosophy is good enough to
teach them that with the water level,
the overflow would be just as great
without the dam as with it. Now we
believe most of the good people of De-
graft haven't the least conception Of
the untold injury it would work us; but
certainly Mr.. Pool and few that
probably have been leading him cant
fail to have pretty clear conception
of the great calamity they would bring
on an innocent community in order te
lower the water little along a few
pieces of land.
Barring the loss of life caused by the
great tornado that swept away large
portion of our town about 1873, the loss
| of our mill without another in it's place
would make calamity that would
cause the one of 1873 to sink into in
significance. Mr.. Pool will live to SEE
his folly. ENOS STILES.

With Treachery.

Saturday, Roberts advanced his line

The Beers were strongly intrenched
and fought with courage. The British

Beers lost 40 in killed. They fell
back on Bloemfontein, followed by Rob

then fired on the British. Gen. Rob
erts sent word to the Boer commanders
that if this occurred again, he would
not respect the flag of truce.
