NURRE MURDER UNSOLVED
The Nurre murder and its mystery still elicits much interest and
inquiry, and it should be investigated by the Grand Jury of
Clinton County. It is high time our neighbor county set to
punishing perpetrators of some of its flagrant crimes committed
within its borders. The estate of Henry Nurre is now in the
Probate Court, and B. H. Henningsen, of Lyons, has been appointed
Administrator under the bonds of $25,000. The property of the
murdered man has been scheduled at $147,500 of which $125,000 is
in bankable paper, and the remainder real estate. Dr. McNeal of
Delmar, who is attending Mrs. Henry Nurre, reports her nearly
recovered from her recent murderous injuries. It is hoped that
she may soon be able to shed light on the mysterious tragedy.
Civil War Pension
Mrs. Lottie Dahling, her brother William Swigart, children of
Uriah Swigart, a deceased soldier, have just received a pension
allowance of $865.00 each, through the kindly intersession of
Congressman Hayes, who has secured many thousands of dollars to
deserving pensioners during his time at Washington. John Connery
has been granted a pension of $8.00 per month dating several
years back.
