ATTEMPT TO ROB THE co. TREASURY

ATTEMPT TO ROB THE co. TREASURY.
On Sunday morning last little past l2
o'clock, DIR. Stillwell, who resides at the corner
of fCroghan and Main Sts near the Court House
having just come home from visiting patient
heard an unusual noise in the Court House.
He listened awhile, and not hearing the noise
repeated: Thought he might be mistaken and went
into his house. Listening again, he soon dis
tinctly heard few heavy blows, which he was
satisfied was an effort to break open the safe
in the Treasurer's Office He Immediately
proceeded to awaken Mr. Ball. the Treasurer,
who lived but a few squares distant, and the
two repaired to the scene of action. While the
Doctor was at Mr.. Balls residence, they heard
the explosion caused in blowing open the safe
When they came near the Court House they
heard the pounding, but could see no light on
account of the sheet-iron shutters at the win
dows. Before disturbing the gentlemen it was
deemed best to procure re-inforcements and try
to capture them. Unfortunately none of the
gentlemen who were aroused possessed fire.

the burglars time TO escape with the money it
was concluded to advance upon them at once
with force of five or six men and one rifle. The

thick fog, man advancing slowly from the op-

the whistle was intended sign to the ope-
rators in the Court House, the man was arrest
ed. Just then, two or three other men came up
from down town, saying they were following
the arrested man, he having just stabbed a
friend of theirs.
With the new arrivals, the company went in
to the Court House. They found dark lantern
upon the floor, crow-bsrs, heavy sledge ham
mer and other tools, neat little satchel (in
which the funds were to have been carried

had been but moment before so busily engag-
ed there, were not visible. They were searched
for diligently, but in vain. The locks on the
door and shutter bad been forced, and the outer
door of the safe blown off. The hinges to the
inner door were partly broken, and few min

During the fire in Mr.. VOLTS Tobacco Store
last week, it is said considerable property was
stolen. 1t is always better, where there are
efficient frel companies, to leave the whole
management of fires to them. Citizens should
not intermeddle unless called upon by the prop
er fire officers They had generally far better
keep away altogether. If this rule is observed,
there will be much less likelihood of property
that is taken from burning buildings being left
in an improper and exposed condition, less liza
bility to unnecessary destruction, and to acci-
dents. The responsibility for these things then
rests wholly with the Fire Department where
it belongs Fortunately, our companies here
are made up of frst-rats material, we'll officered
and well drilled. To their hands we NAV
safely entrust the important task we have COM
mitted to them.
In this connection, it gives us pleasure to
mention the fact which we overlooked in our
notice of the fire last week, that our excellent
Hook and Ladder Company was on hand with its
usual and wonderful promptness. Although
their services were not put in special requisiton
on this occasion, their quick response to the call
of duty was not the less praseworthy We
doubt if there is better H. and L. Company in
the State.

THE SALE OF GOVERNMENT PROPER
TY ON JOHNSON,S ISLAND.

The sale was well attended, and on some of
the property the bidding Was spirited, still
many very profitable bargains were obtained
The wood brought from $2.55 to S275 for
mixed and hickory. Fourteen hundred cords
were put up in bulk, but was not sold-the
highest bid being $l.60 per cord. Had the
wood been put upin lots of fifty to one hun
dred cords, it would have brought much better
prices and all been sold. We are informed that
another sale will be advertised in the course of
month or so. The entire row of officers
quarters facing the prison pen were reserved,
for what reason We are unableto learn. 1t may
be that the Government intends occupying the
island permanently. The sale in the aggregate
amounted to nearly seven thousand dollars

then, both Gonester and Bolster have disap-
peared.
There is reason tor congratulation that the
funds of the county were saved, but much re-
gret is, of course, felt that the villa succeeded
in making their escape.

perste characters and unless some preconcerted
measures are taken by the police and other au-
thorities We shall go on from bad to worse

Bill Smith and Geo. Greener, (the latter with
several aliases, lately kept lager-beer saloon
near the depot. They would probably be keep
ing it now, but that important considerations
have induced them to take up their abode with
Mr.. Ferguson, back of the Court House, where
their time is so much occupied that they have
been obliged to drop the Saloon business for
the present
Last week, one Smith, of Tiffin, Scanlon, and
another man, were in this saloon betting with
dice against two other men. When the two
latter went out they were followed by the three,
knocked down and robbed of some seventy
five dollars in money,a watch and revolver
The robbers were consequently arrested, gave
up a part of the property, and were then al
lowed to go free; upon what ground we have
not learned, and entirely fail conjecture
The keepers of the saloon, however, were arres-
ted, and are now in Jail tor allowing gambling
in their establishment. Doubtless the latter
instance of justice enforced is right, but unless
our authorities are more stringent than in
the case of Scanlon, Smith and their accom-
plice, we may expect to be completely overrun
with desperadoes of every description

few days ago, in pleasant township in this

absent at the time, husking corn, in one of his
fields some distance from his residence. Mr.
Slahfer's woman had prepared dinner and ta-

and during their absence the house was entered
by some rascal, who broke open the drawers
threw the clothing round the room, and sue

house, its bills decidedly reasonable.
