Mrs. j. d. Hayes was very agree
ably surprised on Monday of this week
by the arrival of her only sister, Mrs.
L. E. Spray, from Alturas, California.
Both ladies with their families and
friends went to California in 1863,
where Mrs. L remained, (when her
sister returned after two years spent
IN the gold feldS), until the present,
after an absence of forty years to seek
familiar faces, renew old acquaint-
ances, and visit childhood haunts.
Miss Kate McAndrews returned
home Thursday from visit with rela-
tives at Cresco and Calmar .....Geo.
Punteny and wife, OF Cresco, spent
several days here last week visiting
relatives......James Lester of Free
mont township was a journal visitor
yesterday, Mr.. Lester was elected
trustee of his township at the recent
election, and the people of the town
ship will find they have selected a
good man for the place, competent
and trustworthy.-Dec Journal
Judge Fellows had three inebriate
cases before him here last week, the
trio being Ira Wentworth, VIM. Bald
win and doc" Mcmillan. All were
given sentence OF year and half
at the Independence hospital, butsen-
tence was suspended in each case to
give all another chance to obstain
from the use Of liquor. Upon their
first offense in this line the Officers
were instructed to take offenders into
custody and transfer him to the hospi-
tai for treatment. This is the third
arraignment of Baldwin on this
charge and it will be his last it is de-
clared, the officials having concluded
to send him down If he breaks over
again.-Almakee Democrat.
A deplorable case of self destruc-
ton took place at Cresco last Thurs
day. John Booth, one of the estima-
mable citizens of that place, became
involved two years ago in scrimmage
with his father-in-law, which later
got into court, and before it Booth
was tried and convicted of perjury.
He was given sentence of two years
in the penitentary and this was re-
Gently affirmed by the supreme court.
1t was generally believed about Cres-
CO that he was innocent of the crime
and victim of unfortunate circum-
stances. Stong efforts were being
made to secure pardon for him and
the prospects were good for obtaining
1t. But the poor man had grieved for
months over his apparent disgrace
and in despair hanged himSelf.-Wau-
kon Democrat.
