moved from the building. The build

taken from sleighs in this place, while
the owners were at meeting. The next
morning Mr.. H. Cowdery, one of those
who lost arobe the night before, started
north and traced the thieves into Or

which it is not necessary to mention
here, States Attorney Ide felt sure he
knew some of the parties; and Sheriff
Preston and Deputy George Ide started
out north. and Policeman Ward and

Jail in this place five prisoners, together

The village school has been suspend
ed for nearly two, weeks, Miss Minnie
Dole, the teacher, being sick with diph-
iberia. We are glad to learn that she
has recovered so as to be able to COM
mence her school again on Wednesday.
The Stanton district have just COM
pleted fine new school house, with all
the modern Improvements, said to be
the best country school house i'll Gale
donna county. The building commit
tee, Messrs. VIM. B. and Fred. Stanton,
did the work by the day, and in a
thorough and workman-like manner.
We understand that the bills are ac-
copied and the winter term of school is
now in session, being taught by Miss
Matte Stanton.

with ten buffalo robes, four harnesses
several whiffletrees, two jugs of rum,
and some other plumber. The names OF
the parties arrested are Gilbert East
man and two sons of Charleston, Henry
GOoche and Fred. Bean of Monroe.
Although these men have not had
their examination at the present writ
ing, they are no doubt part of the
gang who have been thieving through
this section during the last fall and
winter, and who have also struggled
liquor from Canada and peddled it out
through this section. Last fall some
parties drove up to Josiah StOddard's,
Bradley Browns, and Mr.. Morrison's in
Waterford, and stole quite a lot of geese
and chickens, and drove over to Little
ton where they had a confederate who
helped them dispose of them. Two of
the men arrested Sunday were in that
chicken raid. A fortnight ago tonight,
a Mr.. Stoddard of Peacham, lost two
robes. The same night a robe was
stolen in Lyndon. This property and
much more was found on Eastman's
premises in Charleston. The same
night that Nh. Cowdery and Judge
Bowman lost robes, AlmOn SanbOrn of
Lyndon, lost a harness. 1t was the
plan of these thieves to dispose of their
plumber as fast as they could, trading
it off for whisky, horses, ETC., and the
robes recovered were nearly all mutt
lated by having the Innings removed, in
order to prevent Identification.
When the officers went over to Mon
roe, they found Gooche's team just in
from an excursion, aud we'll tagged out.
They also found two jugs of liquor with
him, and also some parties at McIndOe's
he had just supplied. They also found
some other things, still more suspicious ::
GOoche lives in a lonely place at the
end of a road. Further on beyond his
house is an old unoccupied dwelling.
This the officers searched also. On the
floor was some corn-fodder and rubbish,
which, on being removed, disclosed a
quantity of blood Oh the floor. On
further investigation murderous look
ing club with blood on it was dis
covered. This caused a more thorough
search still, and on returning to Gooche's
house, and opening trap door into the
cellar, a quantity of lime was discover
ed. This was all that was found at last
accounts, but Investigations were still
going on, and suspicious people think
there is enough to make story out of.
Before we go to press we may know
more about this case.
E. D. Palmer of Peacham, was in
town Wednesday, and recognized two
of the Iobes taken with these thieves, as
belonging to him, although the Innings
had been removed and the name cut
out. Geo. Stoddard also recognized one
of the robes stolen as his, it being pc
culiarly marked. Mr.. Preston came in
with another prisoner Wednesday night
Herbert Eastman, another son of Gill
bertrand two more harnesses. Persons
who have lost articles of this kind, can
have an opportunity to identify the
property at the sheritf;s house. The
blood found in the old house in Monroe,
is supposed to have come from lot
of freshly removed hides which were
stolen

and log that lay near, dislocating his
ankle joint and breaking the bones SO
that they protruded through the flesh.
In this condition he was held fast, and
no help near. Although his cries for
help were heard a great distance, none
recognized them as of Il person in dis
tress. Finding that he was not likely
to receive assistance he took his AK,
chopped the end of the log off, which
was about twenty inches through, and
thus freed himself, and then crawled on
his hands and knees towards home, but
had gone but a short distance before he
gave up in despair. In this condition
he was found by man happening
along, going across from the main road
to the Buchanan place, who took him
90 his home. Surgical aid was imme-
diately called and the limb dressed. 1t
is bad break and it will be several
weeks before he will be able to be out.
Mr.. Samuel Meader, for many years
a resident of this town, has exchanged

time. Receipts about $40.

Your other correspondent has not yet
convinced us that incompetence is on
the increase in our village. The hoy
he mentions had only one bottle of
whisky and two pistols on his person.
If he had carried around several can
non, a jug of rum, and two are three
Queens arms, it would have been Il
strong argument. The facts are that
there has been less liquor sold and
drank in this place the past year, than
any one of the past fifteen years. We
know of no one in the village who sells,
or is in the habit of using Intoxicating
drink. Your correspondent went two
miles from the village to find his sub
,ject, and we are in doubt about the
young man in question using it to any
great extent.
