DeLong and the services of that evening will do much toward awakening an in interest the temperance cause. Footpads relieved George Hascall last Tuesday night of the care of eight dollars, good money. They enforced.

Another man was also held up aud roboed of five dollars. In addition to these two bold robberies, tramps innumerable infested the place while the fair was in progress.

James Kenyon a young man well and favorably known in this place and vicinity, met with a sudden death last Wednesday morning, in a gravel pit near Fowler. He was getting out a load of the gravel when a sudden caving in entirely covered the unfortunate young man. He was found in an up right position, after four hours of work in digging him out. He had covered his face with his handkerchief to keep the sand and gravel out of his face and eyes. He was twenty years old last April, one of a large family by whom he is mourned with a sorrow that almost refuses to be comforted. He also had many friends outside of the family circle who will long remember their young friend.
