The Snow Plow Service The snow plow service was evidently taken by surprise Thursday morning to see the ground covered with “the beautiful” and did not recover in time from the shock to be of any practical

benefit to business men, laborers and others out in the morning. We hope it does not snow again this winter unless an alarm clock is set for the snow plow service. It should realize that it is of no earthly service unless it gets out before the reset of humanity. Death of Col. William Fitch We announced last week the death of Col. Wm. T.

The Murdered Man at Fairport Returns to Life – Found Himself in a Hay Stack Andrew Hongisto, the man who disappeared from Fairport on Christmas Eve and was supposed to have been murdered, reappeared Thursday night. The last that he remembers on that night, was being in a fight with Lustila and Isaacson and receiving a blow on the head which brought on a Rip Van Winkle sleep. When he awoke, he found himself in the top of a hay stack. Evidently the sheeting covering the stack from rain had been removed and a hole dug in the hay for the body of Hogisto who was supposed dead. The sheeting was then replaced to conceal the crime. Richard Neff, who was kicked by a vicious horse on Monday, died Wednesday afternoon. He was 38 yrs. old and leaves a wife, who is the daughter of Mrs. Carlos Mason.

Jogging along and charging as they went, their horses suddenly snorted and stopped short, and endeavored to turn about. They brought their guns into position and peered into the darkness expedient to see some varmint or an Indian, but nothing appeared to view. They urged their horse, but not a step did or would they budge, except in the wrong way. Then their saw a long, black, flat, serpentine-looking zone of stretching as far as the eye could reach in either direction directly across their path. One of them dismounted and found it been nothing more than a mighty multitude of tarantulas, migrating somewhere. Their animals would not leap over or go thought them so they returned to cap about two miles back. Coming back later in the day, they found the multitude had passed but left in their wake thousands that had been killed by the small bird that follows them and stabs the spider to death wherever it is found.
