A little stir was occasioned on two
evenings the last of the week, by the
peculiar actions of a stranger, who was
to be unduly familiar with
some of the young men of the place, and
who, when questioned rather sharply,
explained that he was simply lover here
to get acquainted" As he went in the
direction of Norway, few of the young
men went over there Friday evening to
investigate, and from what they learned
il seems that the man is employed there,
and that he is "a little OFF," The
occurrences furnished the germ for a
number of weird tales, samples of which
were that a woman had been attacked
near the Pine Grove Cemetery, and that
the fakir who was on the Square Friday
evening was held up near the creamery
and his money demanded at the muzzle
of a revolver. All these Wild West
stories proved to be, as Mark Twain
said regarding the report of his death,
grossly exaggerated.
