A NEPHEW OF GIFFORD’S.

A said-to-be nephew of Gifford, the big land owner, arrived In town yesterday and proceeded to set the real estate agents, who did not know him, crazy by wanting to buy or rent town property. Later he starved in to find a place to board with some private family and scared a bunch of women and children into duck fits, almost, before Marshal Dobbins was notified and before he was able to find him. The man is somewhat deranged and is supposed to be harmless but people would be better pleased if he would stay away from their homes.—Monticello Journal.
