Peddler's Drowning.
Fort Dodge. Dec. 16--Will Lang. a

water sachel. When this was opened
it was found to contain many articles
such as are carried by peddlers on their

thread and various small articles. Ii
Is thought to be the grip which was

near Lehigh.
He was cousin of Leris Daniels,

Abdouh with the pack with which to
start into business again after a long
