THIEVES ABOUT. - On Monday
night the saloon OF Dennis Collins
was catered by breaking the glass in
the window in the rear of the build
ing, ahd from three to four dollars
in three cent pieces taken fr'm
the money drawer. The drawer
also contained some twoor three
dollars in coppers, which the thief
deemed beneath his notice. and
therefore left them, for which Mr..
Collins returns his sincere thanks

door leading from Collins saloon to

stolen ,hereirom, and probably other

all kinds OF rascality, for they ma,
rest assured that "thcre is something
rotten in Denmark" ."-[Lima Ma
