Washington, that attorney John c. Mar
shall died in that city on May 10. The

circumstances, not leaving enough

cent funeral. The numerous friends of
deceased have taken the matter up and
will forward sufficient funds to provide

The Winnipeg Free Press gives an ac-
count of burglar who attempted to 60
through the general store of Edwin Spic-
er at Vassar, Man. The fellow got
away with about S25 worth of goods and
six or seven dollars in cash but was seen
by another person and Mr.. Spicer who
was notified, captured the fellow. On
examination in the court at Winnipeg,
the fellow was found to be somewhat de-
mented and that his name was Andrew
Olson and his residence Minnesota and
he was held to be sent back to that state.
Mr.. Spicer was formerly postmaster at
Carlisle in this county.
At a meeting Of the board Of Drain
commissioners at Bathgate last week, the
parties assessed for the new drain No. %
appeared in full force The difficulty
seemed to be that the drain is expensive
and the amount OF lands benefited
is small, making the assessments very
large. All sorts Of opinions were ex-
pressed from quashing the whole thing to
making less expensive ditch. The
board adjourned until Thursday OF this
week, and it is likely the latter plan will
be adopted. Five or six bids were in for
construction but were not opened.
Robert Coon, of Edgar county, Illino-
in, bought the John Devaney half section
in Carlisle, last week. through D. D.

years crop is harvested. Mr. Coon made
a visit to this county year ago and the
impression was SO favorable he got dis
contented paying $3.50 per acre rent in
Illinois when that amount would go far
towards paying the purchase price on
land in this county that would yield more
per acre than the rented land. Mr.. War
ner has been making some very good
sales this spring, and brought in desira
BILE settlers.
