''That money, am certain, belongs to
my grandfather, Harrison mot john
Caldwell. He was not crazy, as some of
the papers made out. He was never in
an insane asylum in his life. He was
queer and childish for about eight years
previous to his death. There is more
than one man using his money that
should belong to his children. He sold a
nice farm and no one knows what he did
with the money. The money that Ed
ward Woods and Thomas Dickinson
found rightfully belong to the heirs who
are William S. Caldwell, John Caldwell
and Elizabeth Neyman. wish to have
this published because l do not want any
one to think my grandfather was crazy.

Drove 200 Miles.

o. A. Murray, Of Gilfoyle, Forest
county, arrived in the city Friday from
Oblong, ILL.,, having driven the entire
distance, 700 miles, in two weeks, with
out accident and scarcely unusual incl
dent. When he left oblong, Friday,
November l3, the ground was covered
with snow there, but the further east he
Travelled the warmer the weather he en-
countered. There was only one days
rain on the entire trip that caused him to
remain one day at Kent, o. Mr.. Murray
had been employed as a pumper in the
Oblong field, and owned pair of driving
horses, which are so cheap there just now
that he refused to sell at the great sacri-
flee demanded, and decided to drive them
to Pennsylvania, figuring that 1t would
cost him less than shipping. Fifty miles
from there he swspped the team for a
seal brown mare six years old, and it was
with this nag and rubber tired top bug
gy that he made the remainder of his
long drive. He drove over the National
highway to Spiceland, Ind, and over
country roads throughout the entire
length of Ohio, leaving the Ohio state line
at Orangeville, and care here via Mercer,
Greenville and Franklin. He left Satur-
day morning for Gilfoyle.

ways of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The

and practically level. The roads through
out Indiana and Ohio he found to be
macadamized until Media county, near
the eastern end of the state, was reached,
when the highways were of dirt. The
highways near Akron are macadamized
and there are six miles on either side OF
Warren, o., of this material.
The longest drive be made in any one
day of 10 hours, was 81 miles, and at nc
time while he was passing through Hi.

and sound of some habitation. The only
place along the route where he saw any
thing growing in the vegetation line
were some fine appearing fields of wheat
In Mercer and Venango counties. The

tires have been practically worn from his
