Jim Brashear Skipped Out From Here.

Thursday of last Week James to drive to Rensselaer, intending to be back by Saturday but hearing nothing from him' Monday Mr. Grimes became a little uneasy and tried to locate the man and team by telephoning, failing in wnich, he went to Rensselaer Tuesday where he found his team alright in one of the feed barns. He brought them home and attached the goods in the mattress factory, as no news of the whereabouts of Brashear were obtained.—Wolcott Enterprise, Brasher was in Rensselaer a little more than two weeks ago and presented recommendations from the best Wolcott and Remington people, on the strength of w r hich he received mattresses for repair and renovation from many of our best families, and incidentally done some newspaper advertising looking to further business. The deliveries were made here Thursday Feb. Ist, and Brashear seems to have left that same day. The team was put up at Harmon’s livery stable and remained there until the following Tuesday, when Mr. Grimes, of Wolcott, came here for it. On Brashear’s first trip here he became intoxicated, but the character of the recommendations he presented caused no un easiness on the part of those who transacted business with him.
