We, therefore, think the platform

Burglary.


Some miscreants last night over
hauled about eighteen or twenty
houses in the east part of the city, go
ing through them all with a method
worthy old hands at the business.
As strange as it may seem nothing of
any consequence was stolen. They
were in the house Of James Hamilton
once and made the second attempt but
found tho windows securely closed.
They then gathered up some trash
and set the house on fire which was
discovered before much damage was
done. Hamilton captured hat.
They forced their way into the house
of A. f. Moore but were discovered
and fight ensped, Mrs. M. bravely
assisting. At this place the burglar
that was in the house lost shit
sleeve, a suspender, hat and boots.
Moore with the assistance of his wife
would have captured the fellow prob
ably If he had not received assistance
from the outside of the house. As it
was Moore got a. bloody broken nose
and the fellow got away. lie was
afterwards at the residence Of Essex
Horn and was driven away. Essex
says his gun wouldn't shoot or he
would have saved him. The parties,
whoever they were, were seen several
times prowling around private prem
. ises, but nobody had sense or courage
enough to shoot az they should have
done.

in number, that left for Sigourney,
yesterday, returned, to-day, by the
Central at 4 90 p. m. We have only
time to say that the meeting held at
Sigourney was most flattering sue
cess. A large delegation was in at
tendance from Cedar Rapids and
prominent men in Sigourney took
hold of the matter with zeal and en-
thusiasm. A company was organic
ed this morning, and articles of in
corporation adopted.
The style Of the new company is
the Cedar Rapids. Sigourney and ct.
tumwa Railway Company, and Gen.
j. NJ. Hedrick was chosen president.
There was the very best evidence
disclosed At this meeting that
there is more than one strong
railway company in this State
on the anxious seat to take hold Of
this enterprise and that it will be the
privilege of the new company to get
some strong bids from powerful cor
porations.
We shall give the proceedings in
full tomorrow and for the present
will only say to our people that We
bring good tidings. The outlook is
magnificent; we have an excellent
show for work to be commenced at
an early day with the certainty that it
will be pushed RAPIDLY toa sure com

CHILLlCoTHE, April ~, 1913.
Col. Burl'ngame, Of Chicago, closed
his work here on Sunday evening.
We can say the blue ribbon move
ment is firmly established in Chilli
cothe. The Colonel appears, as he
said. seoul and body"in the cause.
Dealing with the matter as prac-
teal business man, the orator sugges-
ted that the effective way Of suppress
ing the liquor traffic was not by de-
nouncing the saloon keepers but by
taking away their customers and pro-
viding places of resort and rational
amusement for those who without
them are tempted to frequent saloons.
The Colonel is to be congratulated
on the happy manner in which he
combines with sound sense dash of
pathos and effective mimicry in his
small talks and in gaining signers,
75 are now enrolled and Chlillicothe
can now be ranked as blue ribbon
town. With the best wishes for the
success of the genial Colonel. | am
