Some ran through the fields almost any way to get the erect grain that can be cut from either direction and will then take the grain that is lying down by cutting in only one direction.

John McCurtain, the much hunted man who escaped from the asylum at Longcliff, is in Illinois and his wife received a letter from his postmarked Streator. She was not overjoyed at its receipt and called up Prosecutor Sands to tell about it. The letter invited an answer and told her where to address the letter. It is not probable that an effort will be made to arrest him there as it would be unusual to try to extradite an insane man. If John will just stay across the state line no one here will have any kick coming. Saturday Markets For One Month.
