'people of the vicinity were startled and
grieved by news of the death from typhoid
fever of Mr. John Hotharn, which sad event

14, half ago, when he went to Colorado, where,
through his enterprise ancl energyhe did
well, and was intending to come home again

tested, but wore gentlemanly enough to
abide by the umpire's decision without
hard language. They should be the lard
