Bro. Carr of the Fowler Leader, who was turned down by Congressman Crumpacker for postmaster at that place, and who has since given “Crump” several gentle prods in the ribs, as a reminder that it didn’t set well, has now capitulated in the following language: “It is all off. The hatchet is buried and the handle thrown in the well. We got in the postoffice this morning a package bearing the frank of E. D. Crumpacker, and in package were smaller packages of garden Beed. Watermelon, turnip, parsnip, lettuce and mustard; we are very fond of mustard. What dp we care if congressmen do get seventytine thousand dollars per year, we get the garden seed.” Francesville Tribune: John Kupke, living west of town, received word last week informing him of the death of his son, Fred, who died at Tacoma, Wash., from quick consumption. The young man left Francesville three years ago for the west and was employed with a surveying party when he caught a severe cold which settled on his lungs with fatal effect. He had been in a hospital since December and a letter from his sister who was with him, for some unknown reason failed to reach here for several weeks after it was written, and thus the news of his illness and death came about the same time. The youDg man was about 26 years of age and his remains were buried at Tacoma.
