[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger July 14, 1881 VINTON Sheriff Cottrill, of this county, to relieve the monotony of an empty jail, has taken a trip west. Henry Peters who was sent to the penitentiary from this county and whose term is expired, is insane and is to be sent to the Athens Asylum. A number of farmers of Richland township, this county have recently lost several find suckling colts, and are unable to determine by what disease. The colt will, apparently, be in good health, but on a sudden lies down and dies. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson
