a mix-up Thursday morning. While
standing at the post-office they be-

West Grant residents were very
much excited over the false report
in the Dubuque Times, last Wednes-
day to the effect that Sheriff Glenn
had been shot twice in the leg,
while trying to arrest a double

pie were very glad to hear that it
was all wind. These reports are
