OBITUARIES

In March 1878 he emigrated to America, settling first near Giard, and afterward he made his home with his son-in-law in Clayton Co. For a number of years past his eyesight had so weakened that he was nearly blind, and he ofttimes expressed the wish that the dear Lord, in whom he
believed, might take him home. He is survived by his wife, and four children -- Mrs. Wm. Meyer, Postville; Mrs. Henry Klamm, Algona; Wm. Meyer, Giard, and Carl Meyer, Postville -- and their families, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends and neighbors, and may God bless them all. The funeral was held from the Lutheran church at two o'clock, Tuesday
afternoon, March 18th, Rev. R. Kuehne officiating. Interment in the Postville cemetery.

of his parents. He is survived by his father, mother and sister. The funeral was held from the Lutheran church at 1:30 Saturday afternoon, Rev. Cuol??? officiating. Interment in the Postville cemetery.

THE FIREBUG AGAIN
The firebug that so terrorized the people of Postville with his barn-burning a year or so ago, suddenly burst into evidence again last Friday night between 9:30 and ten o'clock, beginning his depredations as before by firing the horse barn of F. W. Tuller, the well known horsebuyer, and burning it to the ground. Four head of horses, about 25 tons of hay, a quantity of feed and harness, etc., were destroyed, the only thing saved from the building being Lynn McEwen's buggy which was just inside the door. Earliest arrivals say they heard neither sound nor commotion from the poor dumb brutes that were burned alive. The fire was discovered by Eldo Kluss, who resides in that locality, as he was returning home from town, and he promptly turned in an alarm. The fire boys promptly responded and confined the fire to the one building with two lines of hose, but had an awful time in getting their apparatus there by hand through the knee-deep mud. As during the preceding reign of terror, the barn was securely locked and the whole interior a roaring furnace of flame from end to end when discovered. It is also regrettable that anyone should have such a mania for doing work of so despicable a nature. It is to be hoped no more fires of this nature will follow
