and were set to work. In short time
were set to work. In short time
they went to the place where Geo.
Chase of Delaware was staying for
the present. The hounds refused to
90 farther, and as d result of their
clue Mr.. Chase was placed under ar
rest and brought before the Justice OF
the peace of the town, who placed
him under $500 bonds. Mr.. Chase

Miss Grace Hockaday, Oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Hook
aday of this city, is in the hospltal at
Iowa City, and very sick young
woman, suffering with Infantile par
alysis. Miss Hockaday left Manchester
few weeks ago to attend school in
the State University, and last Monday
was stricken with the violent disease.
Her condition is considered very SER
ious, and while there are assurances
given that she will recover, the at
tending surgeons fear that she Will
be crippled for life. Miss Hockaday
is one of the finest of young women
who have ever left this place to attend
school, and that she should be strick-
en- with one of the most violent dis
eases known to medical science, is a
source OF profound anxiety to the fam
lilly and many friends. We hope that
the disease may soon be checked and
the young woman restored to good
health again.
