HEAD CRUSHED.
FOUND IN ROADWAY

Hauh, aged 65 years, one of the
wealthiest farmers in Bureau county
was found dead in the road enroute
to his home north of De Pue last
night. Hauh's head had been badly
crushed and mangled

is that he fell from a large farm wag-
on that he was driving to his home,
and that his skull was either struck
by the wagon, or trampled and crush
ed by the horse.
Another theory advanced is that
Haugh fell from his wagon and was
struck and killed by a passing auto
mobile. sME 81

many of the districts of the county.
He served as a member Of the House
several years ago with honor to his
constituents and credit to himself. His
former service for the good of the
county is well remembered by his
friends, and to know Mr.. Fox init
mately is to be his friend. The other
aspirant for the House is Mr.. Albert
Marllcy, of Crellin, where he has been
g resident and an employe of the lun-
ber company operating there for the
past twenty-five years. Mr.. Markley
came to Garrett county from Virginia
