A 5-month-old baby girl, one of the twins born to Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Winters, of Chicago, died Thus» day and the body was brought here this Friday morning and was interred in the Crockett cemetery, where another one of the Winters children was buried about five years ago. Mrs. Winters was formerly Miss Abbie Griswold, and her parents, formerly residents of the Crockett neighborhood, southeast of this city, are Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Griswold. The twin babies were quite feeble at birth and the one that died Thursday was raised in an incubator for some time. After leaving the hospital it seemed in quite excellent health until about ten days ago. Mrs. Griswold went to Chicago at that time and has been with her daughter through the baby’s fatal sickness. R. A. Parkison has purchased as a present for his daughter, Mrs. Kenneth Rhoades, a lot just north of the residence of Dr. A. G. Catt, on river street. The purchase was made of E. J. Duvall and the price paid was S6OO. It is probable that a house Will be built there this year. James C. Mitchell, the Montioello man who was arrested for bootlegging this week, was bound over to the circuit court Friday and went to jail because he could not give ball. Mitchell was a former saloon keeper at Reynolds and a number of years ago invented a smokeless powder. In experimenting with it one tiipe an explosion occurred which rendered him blind. He used to sell jewelry and came to Rensselaer on several occasions to pursue that business. It looks as though he was up against it good and hard now, as one young man states that he bought a quart of whiskey of him and another states that he witnessed the transaction. He has been under suspicion for a long time.
