Mrs. Conrad’s Valuable Gowns Were Stolen at Depot.

The Conrad depot was robbed Saturday night, Oct. 10th, and a box of fine gowns expressed from Chicago to Mrs. Jennie Conrad, the wealthy land owner at Conrad, were stolen. Harry Osborne,' the agent, lost a good coat and some small change from the cash drawer. The Kentland Enterprise says: “We are not advised as to the number of dresses in the box stolen, but Mrfe. Cohrad’s wardrobe is maintained in strict keeping with her station, and the loot was jato doubt of considerable value. If the thief happens to be 'blessed with a wife about the size of Mra Conrad, she will be rigged out in fide clothes for some time to come.”
