LIVED IN A CORN FIELD

There was considerable excitement
last week when it was reported that
young woman had been found in
a corn field near Walnut. A search
was made and it was found that Anna
Hansen, young girl had escaped
from the orphans school at Elk Horn
and had been missing for several
days. She was traced to corn field
near Walnut where it was found she
had built a very neat bungalow out
of corn stalks and from all appear
ances was enjoying her summer cot
tage. She was taken in charge and
brought to the county poor farm
where Wallace Bolton cared for her
until Tuesday when she went to the
home of Chris Kleuver and where she
will remain for the present. 1t was
reported that the girl had lost her
mind, but she has not shown any
signs so far, that would lead the
county officials to believe the report
was true. The girl seems to have a
desire to live out in the open air
rather than in a house, and who is
there that can blame her for this de-
sire during these hot summer nights
in Iowa.

AN Old POST CARD

County Auditor WHITAKER. while
ransacking the drawers of his office
at the court house last week, came
across a post card that was addressed
to the Defender office. Extra, Iowa.
1t was written July 14th, 1875 at
Oakfield, Iowa, by II. G. Smith, who
at that time was the County Super
intendent of Schools. The card is
printed one, giving notice of the
Audubon county Teachers Normal
Institute that was to convene at Ex-
ira. Iowa, August 3rd, 1875 at 800
O'Clock a. m. Prof Geo. S. Houghton
at that time with Tabor college, and
Hon. Alonzo Abertnethy, State Supt.

80 years old and is as good today as
the day 1t was written, and certainly
is quite relic. 1t is also one year
older than the town Of Audubon.

GENERAL SICKLES
PASSES AWAY
CONTINUED From Page ~

mand of one Of its regiments os col
onel. Lincoln kept his word and In
1851 raised him to brigadier general
His fighting spirit early won him his
spurs. On the peninsula and at An
tietam he distinguished himself as a
soldier and leader. At Chancellors
vile he led division. At Gettysburg
he led the third corps, lost leg, and
became national hero. At 81 years
of age he had risen from a colonel to
major general Of volunteers.
After the war his fighting spirit led
him in to the regular army, and he be.
came first, brigadier and then major
general. He continued active service
until 1859, when he was appointed
minister to Spain by President Grant.
At the court Of Spain, sickles' Wig
orous personality made him Domino
ting figure. Four years Of brilliant
diplomacy brought him the epithet of
THE Yankee King Of SPAIN Here
he contracted his second marriage,
with the beautiful and distinguished
Senorita Creagh. This romance was
followed by estrangement which was
to last more than q quarter century.
In addition to this domestic trouble,
came his interference in the marriage
plans of his daughter to a pennlless
Spanish nobleman. Father and daugh-
ter separated in bitterness, the latter
to return to the United States to die
without reconciliation.
Returning alone to New York, Gen.,
eral Sickles again entered politics. He
served as sheriff Of New York and at
81 he was reelected to congress.
General Sickles life drew to close
with frequent romantic situations. He
faced bankruptcy proceedings in his
last years, though he had early in life
received a large share of his fathers
SO 100000 estate, but his estranged
wife and son came to his aid on sew
eral occasions.
His last days were spent at 80 Fifth
avenue New York, surrounded by war
relics and attended by his faithful
negro servant.
