| other hired man and stole his new sill
| YER watch and gold chain, then went
Into another part of the house and
stole Il hand satchel After this he
went to the barn and stole a pony and
saddle that belonged to EVert Rose,
who was working there at the time,
and then struck for pastures new.

Upton.
DIR. r. A. Nash has closed a deal by
which he becomes the owner of 1850
acres of timber land located in southern
Missouri This land is not far from the
tract owned by other Upton parties
and is also near the lands in which
West Branch capitalists have been
dealing. That country is covered with
a heavy growth of fine hard wood
timber which as yet is too far from
market to make the land sell for any
thing like its real value. With the
building of a railroad into that section
Of the country and the consequent de-
lvelopment sure to follow those lands
will triple ir value. Dr. Nash secured
his tract at a price which looks very
cheap and will probably realize
handsome profit on the investment.
