EDS. CHRONICLE: Our merchants and
business men appear to be very active pre-
pairing for good fall trade. The stores
are all being filled up with new goods. S.
j. Yorker the lumber merchant, has late
ly been receiving an immense lot of lum-
Der, both by river and railroad. The
freight trains are adding more cars. and
running more heavily loaded than they
have been for months past The farmers
are commencing to bring in grain, and in
the course of few weeks the streets will
present lively appearance. The improve
ments this summer amongst the stores,
hotels and warehouses will add greater ia
cilities for the transaction of business this
fall than ever before. The indications
point to good fall and winter trade......
Early on Tuesday morning the stable
of Benz. Hodgson was entered by thieves,
and set of harness stolen. A crowbar
was left behind, which the thieves forgot
in their hurry to take away. When Mr..
Hodgson discovered his loss he started in
pursuit, ard tracked the parties for several
miles, but finally returned having failed to
discover their whereabouts. 1t seems they
pried open the window of the harness shop
occupied by VIM. Mefert, but must have
been frightened off, as they failed to make
an entrance. 1t behooves our merchants
and farmers to look we'll to the fastenings
of their doors. 1.-The Henry Patter-
son" mentioned amongst the deaths, was
waylaid, and terribly beaten by three
ruffians two weeks ago, as he was return
ing with his team from Sank 1t seems
Henry had been imbibing rather freely
while at Sank, and noticed three men dog
ging him all day. He took the precaution
to leave what money he had, amounting to
about $1,000 with storekeeper there.
The three ruffians attacked him in the
night on his road home, expecting to make
big haul. They beat him so badly that
he died from the effects of it last Monday
exactly two weeks time. He was buried
yesterday, his body being black and blue
with heavy boot marks, where he had been
kicked. He was in some manner related
to F. T. S. Ansdell Of our village. No
clue can be found as to who were the per-
pretrators of the terrible act.
