train, strangers in the city, they did not
know OF the existence Of these Cir

OF so many people and were conse-

Dubuque, Sept. "A negro passed
thru Dubuque yesterday who weighed
$50 pounds The fellow was on his way
to the fair at Plattville. and attracted
the attention of everybody around the
c. G. w. depot, and during the short
time he was in the city. he created
as much interested attention as any
side show.
With the giant were four negroes.
or such terrific size was the big fellow,
that the station hands. together with
the assistance of the stout ones asso-
ciates, had to load him onto a truck
to get him across the platform. One
who witnessed the process declares
that the truck was hardly wide enough
for the monster, and he Topped over
on either side.
To covey him to the Milwaukee
depot, it was necessary to resort to
a large baggage wagon which was at
the station, and across the top Of
which Il couple of planks We're placed.
The mans suspenders were wide leath-
err straps, OF the sort used to secure
trunks.
The human avalanche seemed to be
good natured sort of individual. and
laughed heartily with his friends while
they We're helping him over to the
wagon He can hardly waddle, the
exertion Of coming down the car-aisles
having done him up so that walking
any further after he had left the train
was out of the question:
The big fellow has an enormous
appetite. and once he has been sta
toned at his place at fair he moves
but little.

Patton. Sept. S.-The solution mas
been found OF the mysterious disap-
pearallee of q farm hand four years
ago. While pasture on the farm OF
Sam Robinson, few miles from mere
was being plowed UP, a skeleton buried
only a few feet below the surface, was
exhumed and is being kept by Patton
authorities until an investigation of the
matter can be made.
Four years ago two young men, both
foreigners. and apparently of about
the same age, engaged to Sam Robin
son as farm hands. They seemed to
have plenty Of money, but were not
known to spend any. One night one OF
them disappeared without leaving any
clue as TO his destination. The other
denied any knowledge of his plans, ana
after remaining on the farm until WIN
ter, took possession of the clothing ana
effects OF his friend.
Mr.. Robinson was again startled by
the disappearance of the remaining
farm hand, which occurred on the day
Of a visit Of banker, Charles Walker,
to the farm, accompanied by an officer
of Patton. The two incidents We're not
related by any one until yesterday
when the skeleton was found. when
Mr.. Robinson remembered that the
last he had seen of the remaining farm
hand was at about thestime Of the ar
rival Of Walker and his friend.
It is believed that the first farm
hand who disappeared was killed by
the other, who. on the arrival of the
banker and officer, believed they were
there for him, and ran away. An eff
fort to locate him will be made.
