I'm the session of circuit court
held yesterday the appeal of Frank E..
Tenant VS. Samuel Emler was con-
sldered. This case concerns an alley
running past the home of the defendant
which he claims the plaintiff blocked
illegally. Quite a number of local
citizens were drawn into the case as
witnesses. Attys. q M. Lowry and
FL. w. Brown appeared respectively
for the plaintiff and defendant. At
this writing no decision has been
made on the case by the court.
We are quite sure that there is
no frost in the ground and can readily
believe that spadeful of dirt will
bring up angleworms but, we must
confess, it is hard to maintain an ex-
preston of credulity when respected
citizens spring = those yarns about
digging horse radish a month ago and
the extreme length that the grass has
grown under the snow. Instead of
trying to invent such fiction why
don It they go out and hunt for the
first robin. Several Lancaster people
claim to have heard the harbinger's
merry chirp Monday morning but so
far no one has discovered him.
Michael Spaight an old resident
of Lancaster. passed away Sunday at
the home of his son William in Mason
City. A telegram telling of his
death was received here Monday
morning. Mr.. Spaight had been
practically an invalid for several
years and his death was not unexpect-
ed at any time. Up to several weeks
ago he was cared for at his home in
this city. His son William during a
recent visit in this city decided to
take his father to his home In Iowa.
The body was brought to Lancaster
yesterday and funeral services will
probably take place today. Interment
will follow in the Catholic cemetery.
Serious fires took place at High
LAND and Belmont last week and coin
cidentally several scattered condagra-
tions occurred in the vicinity of
Plattveille. The home of Ben Reiter,
the we'll known Cornelia citizen.
burned to the ground Tuesday nooz
and in the evening by hard work the
residence of John Snyder was saved
from destruction. These fires natural
Iy brought to mind the fact that ten
years ago Thursday the Plattevllle
powder mill blew up killing Fred
Genthe. Thos. D. Bass and VIM.
Rottiker. Lancaster citizens we'll
remember this disaster which was the
last and worst Of many explosions
which took place in the mill.
Trains were all from one to
twenty four hours late last week. 1t
was the same old story of the single
engines being unable to buck
snow effectively. All day Wednesday
we were without mail except that
which came by way of Potosi. Dur
ing the rest of the week the trains
arrived and departed at very irregular
intervals. The train which left here
Friday afternoon stuck in drift just
on tisde the city and the passengers
were obliged to return home again.
Rigs were sent after them and some of
them later decided to go to Potosi and
resume their journey by way of the
Burlington which has not been
seriously blockaded tn is winter.
