4Oth Wedding Anniversary.

Sunday. Jan. 26, 1919, being the
fortieth wedding anniversary Of Mr..
and Mrs. S. H. Duffeld, their daugh-
ters planned a surprise for them and
to say they were surprised would be
batting 1t mildly. It was an ideal
DAY and about twenty-five OF their
neighbors and relatives swooped
down upon them and offered con-
gratulations. They couldn't imagine
what they were being congratulated
for until some of the party remind
ed them that forty years ago today
they had plighted their troth to
each other. Then it was all very
plain why they were the center of
attraction for the day. They thought
it must be some body's birthday
until informed it was a wedding an
niversary. The table fairly groaned
with good things to eat and the
bride and groom with their guests
were invited out to the dining room
to partake of the feast to which all
did ample justice. They received
several beautiful presents. Those
present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilse Mccullough
and daughters Edra and Audrey;
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Scott and daugh-
ter Mae, and Mrs. Mcclellan: Mr.
and Mrs. Glen Petticord and family;
Mr. and Mrs. S. J Clausen; Mr.. and
Mrs. w. c. Gibson and daughter,
Willah; Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Kentner
and daughter, AIDA; Bert Kentner
and daughter, Viola; John C. Duff
field, of Des Moines.
The guests departed wishing them
many happy returns of the day.

Skeleton in a Ditch on h0rney
Farm in Eden Township.

some discovery Saturday morning,
when he found the decomposed
body of man in deep ditch on the
south OF the county farm. Mr..
Minor had been trapping this winter
and had been along this place every
few DAYS. Last Wednesday he
found a mans shoe a little distance
below, and threw it, to one side.
That morning he happened to stop
he could look down, in it and saw say
something which looked liked cloth
ing, SO he went down to Investigate,
and found the skeleton OF man,
at the bottom of the ditch, the legs
crossed and the body being kind OF
leaning up against the roots OF an an
old tree; The place is is about bout y a9d Of
about a quarter of a mile north of
the home of John Smith. Mr..
Minor left the. body and notified the
township trustees, and coroner
Layton was notified, undertaken r.
IS. Stewart going out and bringing

city The man had been dead a
, long time. Mr.. Stewart saying at
least six or eight months, and it
NAV have been year or two years,
as practically all of the flesh was
gone. except a little dried up on his
legs. Animals had evidently eaten
off, and the hair was all washed
away. From the appearance OF
the teeth he is Judged to be a man
we'll along in years.
At first it was thought to be the
remains of an old man named Nose
Couch, also known as Smith Flora,
who left the county home on the
resided for couple of years at the
county farm, and was there for
some time about seven years ago,
but left and was gone SIX months or
more. He had never married and
had been roamer all his lie, nav
ing lived southwest. OF Decatur Tor
many years, where he slept in hay
left Steward Shira made inquiries
for him, but could find nothing out,
and supposed he had gone away as
before Mr.. Shira viewed the re-
mains in the hope he could identity
the clothing, but he does not think
it is the body of Couch, or at least least
when he left the county farm, as
ne had on light underwear and two
pairs Of blue Overalls, while the un-
derwear found with the body was
heavy fleeced lined, and the pants
were brown serge cloth. Couch
found with the body were No. =.
No hat or cap was found. In the
pockets of the dead man the only
things found were cheap watch
and an aluminium disc, advertising
a patent medicine, but Mr.. Shira
says he never knew of Couch hav-
ing a watch.
Who the unfortunate man was or
how he came to his death may
never be known, owing to the con-
,iition of the remains.
