Word came to the family of Mr Hunt in a short time that he had sold his wagon and team and started back home. No news has been heard from the missing man since then. It is feared that he has met with foul play. Nishne Station news....F.W. Hahn had his saddle, bridle and gum coat stolen from his barn a few nights ago.

Linden news....There is considerable news in Polk township, but I have not time to give it all. Wm. Townsend has sold his farm and will move west. Isaac Hays has also sold out and is going west. Mr Richards bought the Hays farm, which adjoins his own. This gives Mr Richards a very large farm, which he knows how to manage. A great many of our farmers have their faces turned westward. |
