Very few of tb owners in Crown Point make a practice of using the machines in cold weather and the smell of gasoline will be confined principally to the garages

Word is received here rrom 3oulder,
Colo., announcing the death of Martin Comerford, half-brother of William, James, Thomas and Miss Lizzie Grant
and Mrs. Katie Purchase of this place. His remains accompanied by SheriffElect Thomas Grant will be brought here for burial, arriving about hursday on the 10 o'clock a. m. train. Heart failure is assigned the cause of his death. Everything that could be done was to prolong his life, but to no avail. He was the. oldest of the family, being at death 59 years of age. Mr. Comerford never married. He left Lowell about thirty years ago and for a number of years has been extensively engaged in gold mining, being reputed as being very wealthy. Mr. Comerford has many acquaintances in Lowell, who will regret to hear of his demise and join in extending sympathy to the bereaved. The champion corn husker of this vicinity thus far heard from is William Ribbentrop, a farm hand who works for John Hayhurst, over in West Creek township. In twenty-three and one-half days Mr. Ribbentrop husked 2,142 bushels on an average of a little over ninetyone. bushels per day. His best day's work was 114 bushels. This is a record hard to beat, and if the yield this year had been as good as other years no one could guess how many bushels Mr. Rittentrop could have husked.
