LOCAL ITEMS.
Having leased Ed SHEEHY's old stand, I am prepared to furnish
warm meals and lunches at all hours. I keep a full supply of
cigars, tobaccos and temperance drinks. J.A. HAVIRLAND.
A serious stabbing affray took place at Waukon last Wednesday by
which Jas. CAMPBELL was frightfully cut up by Bird RIED. It is
uncertain whether or not CAMPBELL will survive. The affray was
the result of an old feud, both being engaged in the occupation
of well drilling, but operating different machines.
We regret to announce the death at Waukon, of Mrs. Geo. H.
BRYANT, the wife of our county treasurer, which occurred last
Monday. She is the mother of small children, the youngest is only
three weeks old.
We understand the Mrs. Fred EVERT is very sick with a cancer.
Mrs. COE returned from New Mexico last week, where she has been
for some time. She has gone to Hardin to live with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. C.A. HINMAN, for a time.
OBITUARY. The following notice of Mrs. Hall ELLIS' father is
clipped from a western paper:
Hiram OWEN was born Sept. 30, 1808; in the State of New York. He
was united in marriage to Lydia GANO in 1829; was converted and
united with the Methodist church when about 40 years of age, and
remained firm in that belief until his death, on March 12, 1885,
aged 76 years, 5 months, and 12 days. He died at the residence of
his son-in-law, R.H. WILSON, 5 miles SW of Sac City, which had
been his home for the past two years. He seemed to have no
disease, but he had always led an active life, full of hard
labor, and had passed through many trying scenes and the long,
cold winter that has just passed was very trying to his feeble
body, and as it drew near spring he failed rapidly, and sank day
by day until he died. His funeral was held at his home, conducted
by Rev. R. HAYDEN; his text was Job 5:26. His remains were taken
to Gilman, Iowa, to be interred by the side of his wife.
