It was entered again Monday night, which makes about the sixth time, Father Halm tells us. This time there were three men, arid they got , into the building while all the iu- | mates were in the chapel, for evening i prayers. One of the Indian boys j happened to see the thieves, and Father Hahn and several of the boys started after them, when they fled ifrom the building and made their escape These frequent alarms have 'had a demoralizing effect off the I young Indians, many of whom are so much frightened as to be unable to sleep nights, while they cannot be induced to 6 go out of doors, after dark. 1 ' ; ' j Charley Morlan met with a pretty severe accident Tuesday afternoon. He had been at Marlborough assistinq his father, Ed Morlan, who is working on McCoy’s big sheep barn, and came back on a freight train, to do some work for C. F. Wren.
