He remained here until this, mornipg, going back to Columbia City by the way of Delphi and Logansport.

A. L. Morehead, who is visiting here with his family from Limon, Colo., has made it very nicely since locating in that state. He left here three years ago in January and went to work in the Rock Island round house at Limon.

He continued to work in the round house until transfered to locomotive firing, whffch he has since followed. His run is new between Limon and Pueblo through Colorado Springs and it pays from sllO to $125 per month. He secured a thirty day lay off in order to accompany his family here. They will remain until spring but he will return in about two weeks. George, Mustard and wife make their home with their daughter, Mrs. Sylvester Gray, and at just 12 o’clock last night he wss awakened and upon arising saw a man looking in at his bedroom window. The fellow did not seem much alarmed when Mr. Mustard got up and he peeped in at the window several times. He was unknown to Mr. Mustard but was apparently a large man. After watching him a short time and observing that he did not go away Mr. Mustard decided to awaken his son-in-law and went to his room in another part of the house for that purpose. Mrs. Gray turned on the electric light and this eyidently served to frighten the intruder away for no trace of him could be found. Mr. Mustard has prepared himself and should his midnight visitor make another call he will receive a warm reception. SATURDAY.
