for the grasshoppers with a vengeance. In
some places they were three and four inches

In connection with the affair,.Mr. Keyer

living in the neighborhood who

Unable to
endure it any longer, he determtoed to kill
the dogs which he did, after whicn he was
informed by a boy that the latter had heard
a colored nan say that he would kill Mr.
Bonum on sight. The boy was unable to
tell who the colored man was, and therefore
Mr. Bonum paid then no! further attention
to the matter. : He now thinks that there is
some connection between the j threat and
