As we go to press Fred Thumm, the hackman, informs us that the store of Cullar & Pearse at North Liberty was broken into Thursday night by burglars, who stole several pairs of shoes, a number of boxes of cigars, and a small amount of money from the postoflice which is in connection with the establishment. The thieves first broke into Houser’s mill where they secured tools with which to affect an entrance to the postoflice. At this writing there is no clue to the thieves.

At this writing it is mnot | known exactly how the fire started, | but it is conjectured that it was caused ‘ll‘n_v some one smoking iu the barn. "l‘he fire was seen a short time after z members of the family had left the , | barn where they were milking the cows. ) The fire was undersuch headway when E(‘li&t(rs‘»\'m'e(l that it was impossible to 7 | put it out and all that could be done 1! was to save a portion of the contents f of the barn. One horse, two wagons, ¥ harness, a number of farming implements and 200 bushels of wheat which e was stored in the barn ready for threshl ing were burned up. We have heard 1 no estimate of the loss but it is quite . considerable and one that Mr. Loring e can illy afford to stand. We underLbi,:md there was no insurance.

Long, hot, dry summers are al-{ most invariably productive of various maladies, but this season seems to bej an exception. There is scarcely any sickness.

WoLrg, i Walkerton, Ind., Aug. 3rd, 1893, On last Monday night some one stole } Walter Atwood’s bieycle from the | porch of his father's residence. The § theft was discovered early the next § morning, and Walter borrowed I. L.[ l Sanders’ wheel and followed up the! t trail until he reached the woods near ! Baugher’s mill. Here he lost the trail, | and rode on to Tyner where hesecured | 1 the services of the constable and to-% 'gother they went to Plymouth where | ' they were joined by the deputy sheriﬁ’.} | The party then came back to the loi cality where they supposed the thel! | was secreted and began to make in- ' : quiries in the neighborhood in regard tol |it. One young man whose name we| ‘ } withhold as nothing could be proved! § against him, was strongly snspicioned,! | and the oflicers questioned him very | closely. He said that he had stolen no | { wheel, but came from Walkerton early | ! that morning and saw a bieycle lying | by the side of the road and thinking : some one had lost it(a very likely story), | he took the wheel and placed it in some bushes where it would be sale. He took the party to the pta«;em&& ed, where the wheel was found. The | young fellow was very calm and ﬁﬁ‘-"‘ | concerned throughout the whole pro- | ceeding, but the cireumstances pointed l, strongly to him as being the one who ‘ was concerned in taking the wheel. | But as it would be diflicult to prove i anything against him Mr. Atwood con- ! cluded as long as he had recovered the | wheel, to push the matter no further, , ! unless something should arise later on ~ ! to give stronger proof of the fellow's | guilt. | Y O T B
