Pattee Family Goes to Iowa.

Mrs. S. A. Pattee and W. M. McCoy, better known as Nels McCoy, and wife, left this morning on the 9:55 train for Stewart, lowa, where they expect to make their future home. John Pattee proceeded them a few days. They have been living near Newland. The Pattee family has been considerably in the liipe Tight for several years, and their departure was made quite spectacular by the efforts some creditors made to get a settlement out of them. Pat Halligan had sold them some horses and he began a suit of attachment Monday when it was found that they were going to move away and take all of their property with them. He finally got a settlement by compromise and then Sheriff O'Connor levied on some of the goods and finally collected some 114 back taxes. Albert Pattee remains behind and says that he will send to Virginia for his wife and continue to make this county his home. *
