Unearthed a Skeleton.
Election day was filled with many in
cidents that would merit publication.
But while we failed to "catch on' to the
many funny and unique positions taken
in regard to the result of the election,
we did learn of a sensational story that
comes to us from pood authority.
At lletts school house, a goodly num
ber of the boys had gathered, and late
in the afternoon, by an invitation ex
tended by Mr. Dan ('outs, repaired to
his residence to assist in the extermina
tion of a poor cow, that had lived out
its days of usefulness, and being sick
unto death, its owner decided to end its
misery.
After the death sentence had been
properly executed, they prepared to bury
her in good style, and for this purpose
choose a convenient spot about sixty
rods from the house.
Arriving at the appointed spot, Bill
Butts was appointed sexton and he pre
pared to delve. After digging some
three feet the spade struck a substance
foreign to the soil, and upon examina
tion discovered that a skeleton had been
unearthed, and the skull had been sev
ered from the trunk by the grave dig
gers spade. Butts refused to continue
the work, his nerve having almost de
serted him.
The skull was closely examined, and
we learn that a large hole was found on
one side of the skull giving evidence of
being caused by some blunt instrument.
This has given rise to the report that
there were, in years gone by, some char
acters who bore not an enviable reputa
tion, were located in that community,
and although the remains thus found
give evidence of foul play, yet it
has not as yet been proven whether
they are the bones of a white man or
an Indian.
Twin Lakes.
Almost a white election day this year.
A.A.Miller and wife visited Knox
last Sunday.
Mrs. Morris Agier is expected home
from Chicago todav.
Win. Slater returned last Saturday
from a visit at Knox county, Ohio.
Not much news of any kind this
week. Nothing but politics on every
hand.
Mrs. S. S. Beiden returned home Tues
day from a few davs visit at Van Wert,
Ohio.
The high dash board and the new
paint on Mose Holm's wagon box scares
his horses so that they are hard to han
dle. Mose is ahvavs readv to sacrifice
personal comfort for artistic beauty and
his new wagon box is to him 4ia joy for
ever" Keno was at the ball game Sunday
and his sheepish look was probably due
to the misstatement of the Marmont
Herald of last week when they gave the
score of Twin Lakes vs. Ilibbard as 10
to II, instead of It to 0 in favor of Twin
Lakes. Such little errors as that appear
ing over a man's signature will natural
ly make him feel somewhat small.
Twin Lakes and Ilibbard ball teams
played a return game Sunday afternoon.
The recent rains brought a number of
"frogs" for the "Mud Hens" and the
"Clifton twirler" got the worst of it
again, although he tried to kill one of
the Mud Hens by hitting him in the
head with the ball. The old sign of a
cold winter has clothed the Mud Hens
with so many feathers and "frogs" have
been so plentiful that it takes more than
one assault like that to have any effect
this year.
J. y. Nichols had a husking bee at
his place last week. Everyone in the
vicinity was there and the fun was fast
and furious until in looking over the
corn 'John missed two sacks. Now
everyone knows that no one in the coun
ty appreciates a joke more thoroughly
than John Nichols, but he thought that
even if it was a joke the absense of
those two sacks should be accounted for
in some way. Many theories were ad
vanced in explanation but none seemed
to cover the ground exactly and John
still believes that someone smoked good
cigars at the expense of his corn crib
A joke is a joke, but when John makes
up his mind to discover anything and
sets out in the detective business he is a
whole Pinkerton organization in him
self, and after election he will probably
get his detective ability into play, and
if the trail is not too faint, some practi
cal joker may get a dose of his own
medicine. It isn't so much the loss of
the corn that worries John, as it is the
thought that any joker should forget
that he liked a cigar as well as anyone,
especially when his corn paid for it.
