Like voice speaking out of the
distant past Of Ante Bellum days is
the letter which through courtesy of
Mr.. Allen Shade we are permitted
to print herewith.
A perusal of the letter will show
that the letter was written by one Pc
ter Logan a slave in jefferson County,
Missouri, to one Charlie Eastwood; the
letter was addressed to some town in
Illinois and the original letter bears a
Springfield, Missouri, postmark of
1888 on the outside.
Whether the person addressed ever
received the letter or whether the
writer of the letter ever received an
answer to his appeal and secured the
freedom which he sought before the
hand Of death freed him forever from
all mortal bonds we may never know.
The letter itself is written in
fairly legible hand, the writing has be-
come dimmed with the age of seventy
nine years; as will be seen the ortho-
graphy and grammar is faulty, but it
is message from the far distant slav-
cry days in this country bringing to
our attention the problems of the op-
pressed in those days and the longing
in the hearts of the black people of
those days for the freedom which ma
tions to day are fighting to make Sc
cure for every human being the world
over, of whatever race or color.
As interesting as the letter itself
is the story of how it has come to be
placed as a curiosity and relic of the
past in the Wauseon Public Library.
Some time ago Mr.. and Mrs. Allen
Shade were visiting in the home of a
nephew in Fremont; son of this home
+ had previously picked up this letter
alongside railway track just outside
of Fremont and brought it to show to
Mr.. Shade who manifesting consider
able interest in it, the boy gave it to
him and he in turn presented it to the
Wauseon Library and had it copied for
publication that others may enjoy as
he has a relic of slavery days.

CONTROVERSY OVER FARM.

Determine Ownership.

Special to Times-Republican
Grundy Center, March 30.-Consider-
able interest has attached the past
week 70 the case OF Ben Enge!kes vs..
Cnlka EHGclkes, which has heen on
trial before Justice Soles at Fern. The
controversy is between brothers as to
who had right 70 possession OF an
eighty acre farm near Fern. The farm
was originally purchased by Omke but
when the time came to close the deal
he did not have the money 70 pay for
II so the title was taken by Ben and
the money furnished by Ben. The
question fought out was whether the
agreement at the time was or was not
that Omke could have the land when
he repaid Ben the money advanced.
Omke claimed that such was the
agreement while Ben denied such an
agreement existed. The jury found
that Omke was entitled to the land.
The case will probably be retired in the
district court.
