A strange suit is now pending in
the Superior Court wherein Chris
tena Curtis has sued John A. Hersh-
ner and wife for the sum Of 81 1863
for alleged services rendered on the
farm of defendants, covering period
of several years. The plaintiff is the
mother-in- law of ]. A. Hershner, and
she claims that her services have
been worth at least a dollar per day,
which sums up, in the aggregate,
the amount claimed. The defense
contend that Mr.. Curtis is 10 years
of age, and her mind being weak she
is influenced by others; that when
the plaintiff took up her home with
defendants there was no discussion
of wages, and that Mrs. Curtis being
old, intirm and unable to support
herself, and that they gave her a
home through filial duty and because
none of her other children would
allow her to live with them. A writ
of ut tachment has been issued against
80 acres on the Hartsuck donation
claim, in section q of township Is
north range l west, the farm of de-
PENDANTS. The plaintiffs are repre-
sented by Troy Il Sturdevant and
the defense by ]. r. Mitchell and
George Funk.
Our whole community was shocked
Sunday, by the news that Mrs.
Raleigh George, wife of the younger
son of O. George, had been drowned
in TalcOtt's lake, few miles south
east OF this city. 1t seems that Mr..
and Mrs. George had been gather
ing blackberrieS, and returning to
the lake in q somewhat heated con-
dition decided to have a plunge in
the cool water. 1t was while thus
employed that Marion George and
vile, who were il a row-bOat short
distance away, saw the swimming
couple struggling in the water as if
distressed and hastily approached.
AS Mrs. George was an excellent
swimmer it is supposed that she was
taken with cramp or heart failure
and had graSped her husband, thus
incompacitating either from making
successful effort for escape. Both
had sunk twice when help arrived,
and Raleigh managed to catch an
oar and was pulled into the boat, his
wife sinking for the last time. 1t
was q couple of hours before the
body was recovered and brought to
town. She was but % years of age,
and had been married but a couple of
years. Before marriage she was
