A DASTARDLY ACT.

A Scoundrel Robs a Lady of Her Hair
While She is Reposing on a Lour sc
in Her Own House With Her Baby in
Her Arms. ,... r. ..,s Ill
One of the most dastardly outrages that
has occurred for some time in this part OF
the State. was perpetrated in this village,
at about 8 O'Clock, Or Wednesday even
ing. While the wife of one of our citiz-
ems was reclining with her two children
on a lounge, in the sitting room Of her
house, she unconsciously fell asleep; the
part of the lounge on which her head
rested, was within a few feet of the door
which was wide open; some villain enter
cd, picked up pair Of scissors that Law
upou sewing machine that stood clio Sc
10y the door, and cut nearly all of the
luxuriant hair off her head her hair was
three feet seven inches in length, besides
it was very heavy. The lady was awaken
ed by feeling something scratching her
neck, on arising and going to the mirror,
she was Mortified, all her hair except lit
tie on the side of her head which had
pressed the lounge, was cut off closely.
Terribly alarmed she rushed into a neigh
boris house and related her story:
that neighbor, in company with the
lady's husband, who had been sent for,
searched the house, barn and garden, but
could find no clue that might lead to the
detection OF the unprincipled scoundrel
All Of the hair was carried off with the
exception of lock which the thief drop
ped on the door step. The scissors were
found lying at the front entrance to the
street. The whole affair is shrouded in
mystery. But we venture the assertion
that it was no resident of Princeton who
committed the shameful theft.

Shooting Scrape in Classic

treatment as this, aided by Cambridge

boil, and he rushed around franticallv,
trying to borrow shooting iron with
which to perforate Conger's carcass and
dispel the fearful monotony which, like a
dread incubus, ovehangs Cambridge; but
he failed in carrying out his laudable in

to procure anything that would shoot. On

Why County Auditors are in Favor O.
asr-~.f WhitcOmh.

a;>tf Whitcomb.
We are opposed to the nomination
and reelection of 0. P. ,1hitcomb to
the office of State Auditor. He has
already served six years in that Office,
and By a yindictive and lop-sided pol
icy has made himself unpopular. But
the machine politicians in the Repub-
lican party have fixed up the card to
give him another term, so in he goes
again. Nearly all the county auditors
in the State want him reelected, be-
cause that would help to establish the
principle that it is good thing to keep
"a public officer in office as long as he
lives. A large number Of these audi.
tors would be. greatly pleased, just now,
to see that principle adopted in their
respective counties. If Whitcorlb is
nominated and if the Democrats put
up good man against him, the Demo-
cratic nominee will get four-ffths of
the entire vote of Morrison county.
Now, put that in your pipe and smoke
it. Morrison county cannot defeat
Whitcomb, but it can do its share
towards defeating him.-Little Falls
