The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, June 21, 1873 June 21, 1873
There has lately been some horse stealing going on in this county. Several
horses were stolen about Perry last week and Esquire WILHELM's pony, saddle and
bridle were taken from his stable at Winchester last Saturday night, but
subsequently found near Leavenworth, having been abandoned by the thief.

A party of our boys went to the Grasshopper this week with a seine, and caught
200 pounds of dressed fish. We don't mean that the fish were dressed when
caught, but that they weighed that much after being dressed.

This, we think, is the most 'musical' town in the State. There is a brass and a
string band, all the churches have organs, and, to hear the 'music in the air'
on pleasant evenings, one would think every other house had a piano or organ.
