"a Royal Slave" had splendid house
at the opera house Tuesday night and
the company made good in every re-
spect. The cast was strong one and
the scenery the best ever shown in this
city. The big audience was we'll pleas
ed throughout the performance.
r. B. Mundelle, assistant superintend-
ent of the U. S. registery system, was in
Leon last Saturday inspecting the reg
istry department of the Leon post
office. Mr.. Mundelle is one of three
inspectors who have charge of the en-
tire system in the United States, so he
does not get around very often.
DR.. Sam Burnison, of Davis City,
passed through this city Saturday re-
turning from Van Vert where he was
called to treat some stock. He tells us
that there is considerable stock near
Van Vert suffering from what is known
as the corn stalk disease, caused by
stock running in the corn fields. 4
Byron, the five year old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. A. S. Tharp, met with serious
accident Monday morning. He was
standing on the back porch talking to
his father who was at the barn when he
fell off, a distance of several feet. The
little fellow was unconscious for time,
but has apparently fully recovered from
the accident.
The Hans Hanson Co. had good big
house at the opera house last Friday
night and the audience was we'll pleas
ed one. The band carried by this COM
pany was one of the best ever heard in
this city, and the work of their orchestra
VISA first-class. 1t was one of the best
companies that has ever visited this
city. -
The last will of G. P. Finley has been
filed with Clerk Keller for probate. 1t
is dated at Leon, Iowa. Nov. 49, 1889, be-
ing witnessed by F. E. Thompson and S.
Varga. After providing for the pay
ment of all just debts and funeral ex-
penses, he bequeaths all his property,
real and personal to his wife, Jessie II.
, Finley, whom he names as eXecutriX
, without bonds.
Sheriff Tom Wallace took John Hay
den, the murderer of w. Z. Bracewell, to
| Creston last Thursday where he was
placed in the Union county Jail to re-
main until his trial at the March term
of court. 1t was thought best to take
Hayden away for there seems to be a
strong sentiment against him where the
crime was committed, and it was feared
l that a mob would be organized. 1t
costs no more to keep him at Creston
/. than it would here, and all trouble is
, thus avoided.
