The idea of burglars at । once entered the minds of both Mr. San- ( ders and Mr. Snoberger. Quietly they slipped around and told others of what they had seen. Marshal Rogers was ( summoned and soon a dozen or 15 men were secreted around in the neighbor- ■ hood laying for the burglars. A posse of determined men were about to swoop . down upon the suspicious characters । w T hen the fact leaked out that the two people w’ere an innocent young married couple from Gad, 111., who were peacefully enjoying their honeymoon by ( standing at the back door and viewing . the surrounding scenery. They had . stopped at the hotel for the night while . on their “weddin’ tower” to some point. The “posse” all slipped away as quietly as possible feeling somewhat'crestfallen । over their exciting experience. Snoberger and Sanders, who discovered the “burglars,” have been receiving many ; compliments on their skill as detectives. ; Notice.

A large number of white swans have been seen in Indiana recently, this rare bird having been almost a stranger in this part of the country for years. A number of them have been killed by hunters. The beauty of this bird does not seem to be appreciated by some people, who can only see what “a good ehotthat is” when one of these beautiful birds happens to come within their range of vision.
