HoLCOMB:-- NJ. H. Holcomb,
for 43 years reputable citizen
of keytesville, was born in New
lyme, Ashtabula county, Ohio,
April 3, 1912, and came to this
place when 20 years of age and
was made a deputy county clerk
/ in the office Of his brother, E. A.
Holcomb, which position he held
for eight years. He next serv-
ed the Wabash as agent at Key
tesville station for nine years,
and during the latter part Of his
service as Wabash agent he en-.
gagged in the lumber business in
a small way at the station, and
seeing what he believed to be a
good opening in that line he re.
signed his position with the Wa
bash and had since been con-
Quoting q lumber and hardware
business at this place up until
three weeks ago when he sold
out to the Keytesville Lumber
Co., and just about that time he
was stricken with paralysis and
gradually grew worse until his
death which occurred Sunday
morning, September 10, 1905.
FEBRUARY 90, 1872, Mr.. Holcomb
was married to one of Keytes-
ville's most amiable ladies in the
person of Miss Alice Hawkins!
Three childreni. were born of
their marriage, two of whom,
Mrs. Isaiah Knott, Jr., and r.
c., with their mother, are left to
mourn the death of a kind hus.
band and a loving, indulgent
father. But they mourn not as
those without hope for Mr.. Hol-
comb united with the Baptist
church under the ministry Of
Rev. Henry C. Barton in the
early sos and was ever stead
fast to the faith he professed.
He was thoroughly honest and
upright in all his dealings and
hated that which was dishonest,
untrue, hypocritical or sham.
He never professed friendship
for anyone chat he was no. their
friend in word, act and deed.
Would that there were more men
like NJ. II. HOlcomb, and there
would be fewer hypocrite5 and
Drazen pretenders in the world!
Funeral services were held at
the family residence Monday
afternoon by Revs. Alpha In
gle and d. p. Montgomery,
after which the remains were
taken in charge by the Masons,
Of which order Mr.. HOlcomb had
long been an honored member,
and were conveyed to the City
cemetery for interment in the
presence of large assembly OF
sorrowing citizens of Keytesville
and vicinity. We condoIe with
the grief stricken widow and

Seeks for Buried Treasure Near west
Denmark Slew Himself on Account
of Debt Burden = Jealous Husband
Shoots Farmland.

The neighborhood a few miles west
of West Denmark is severely wrought up
over the mysterious visit of a stranger
who claimed to be from Indiana. While
this was not the mans first appearance
in this Badger community, his quest was
not known and generally talked about
till now. He went to the home OF Henry
Shields. a farmer near West Denmark,
seeking board and lodging for few
days and asking permission to dig Tor a
treasure which he asserted was hidden
near vacant house on one OF MI.
Shields farms. To this house is attached
a legend in which hobgoblins and sprltes
of various sorts play a prominent part
The stranger pretended to be III close
communion with these unnatural beings
After making peculiar signs and gestures
as though talking in a blind language TO
some unseen parsonage, the Hoosier be-
gan digging with all his might. The 81
lent work went on half day at time
and hole after hole was dug within
radius of a few rods, but nothing resem-
bling treasure was unearthed, and the In
dianian finally gave up the job IN de-
spair. One old settler OF that sectlon
has his own solution of the matter. AT
an early day." said he, 1.-The neighborhood
in which the haunted house is located
was inhabited by cutthroats and horse
thieves, and many say murders were
committed there. The homes OF these
outlaws were made the rendezvous OF a
gang of thieves that made regular trips
from northern Iowa up into Minnesota
and northwestern Wisconsin. The dep
relations of this gang were notorious.
Several of them were finally captured
and sentenced to long terms in the penl-
Tertiary This mysterious stranger, 1t
is my belief, is either acting for one
of these thieves, who must long ago
have been released from prison, or, in
spired by their stories, he is searching
for money which they stole and secreted
before they were captured"

At this moment John Shortlands made
