Erasmus Sartell has been retained rs

For some time, fears have been enter
tanned that the tannery at this place
would suspend operation for season;
but these were dispelled by the arrival
on Thursday of the propeller Depere

more are expected with the next boat.

A number of young men called upon
prominent justice of the peace of this

informed him that they had heard he

her that they might offer congratuia-

denied all knowledge of the circum-
stance but cheerfully informed them
that the happy day was not far distant
and that when it arrived they should re-
ceive due notice.

BOLD ROBBERY.

VIM. Robinson, treasurer of the town
of kossuth was robbed of $3.50 on Tues
day night just outside the city limits.
He had come in from his home IN Kos
suth bringing with lin the county tax
collected in his town. He reached the
city Mt 30 in the afternoon and thinking
it too late to pay the money over to the
county treasurer, he decided to stay over
night and settle up with the treasurer in
the morning. He met Mr.. DAIMLER q
short while after having arrived and told
him that he purposed paying over the
county tax on the following morning.
Mr.. Robinson thinks that this was the
only time while in the city that he men
toned having so much money about him.
He was in the National bank during the
evening, bat it never occurred to him
that it would be wise to deposit the
money until the following morning.
That evening Mr.. Robinson visited a
family on the Two Rivers road near the
former toll gate, and remained until Il.
While entering the gate, he observed
two men on the road in advance of him,
but he failed to determine in what di-
rection they were going. He was also
followed by man, but this person he
did not notice particularly and would not
have remembered the occurrence but for
the subsequent events. On his return
to the city, Mr.. Robinson passed close
by large pile of cordwood short dis
lance from Robert McGavin's. 4 tail
man with his face blackened sprung
from behind the cordwood and grapple d
with him tearing off the lapel fhis coat. A
second man seized him from behind and
third soon put in an appearance; Mr..
Robinson carried a revolver but the
whole proceeding was 50 sudden that he
was unable TO use It, While he was
down he was struck in the face and kick
ed in the head partially stunning him
though not depriving him of conscious
ness. He carried the money in a peck ct
inside his vest. This wallet WAS taken
out but no further search was made.
Mr. Robinson had some small bills in
one of his pants pockets and small
quantity OF silver in another; but neither
was molested. One of the robbers was
rather tall and slender, and Mr.. Robinson
thinks he would recognize him if he
should see him again. The other two
were short and stout. After taking the
money the three Immediately left the
road and made their way around the
wood piles. Robinson's face is badly
bruised in places and his clothes torn.
He visited the spot i'll company with
Sheriff Pierce yesterday morning, but
no >lue could be found, that would aid
III the detection of the robbers.
It is believed that parties in Mantle
woo learned that Mr.. Robinson had the
money about his person aud followed
him to the house where he spent the
evening; that they lay in wait for him,
knowing that he would return to the
city, with the result above given.
The robbers must have seen the money
and have known just la what pocket it
was kept, as they went directly to the
right pocket and then made no further
search. The only words spoken We're by
the tail man, who said to the man who
was kicking Robinson when down: "stop
that" Robinson says that the man
spoke with German accent.

4 PROMINENT lawyer OF this city lately
found what, from its appearance, he
thought was some animal that ''ived
moved and had its being" in some past
geologic age. as the doctrine OF treas
ure-trove does not prevail in this country
he took the curiosity home intending to
place it in his cabinet of rare collections.
The animal was covered with a coarse
kind of fur aud, what convinced the
amateur naturalist that he had found
something that autedated the first records
Of natural history was the fact that it did
not apparently belong to any one Of the
four branches into which naturalists di-
times inhabited this mundane sphere.
The animal underwent critical examin-
alton at the hands Of the gentleman who
thought that through this nondescript
beast his name would find place in the
temple OF fame. He worked III secret,
being determined to classify the animal
before announcing its discovery. In
fortunately, he left his treasure on the
kitchen floor one night after prolonged
study OF It's leading features. His wife
found it in the morning and told him IN
the course of the day that some tramp
must be il the neighborhood as she found
an old battered muskrat glove on the
kitchen floor and threw it into the wood.
shed. She brought 1t in on fire shovel
with long handle and the man of law
became man Of wrath when he saw the
object on which he bestowed so much
thought treated thus lightly. The owner
OF the glove advertised Its loss in the
Pilot giving a full description and offer
ing a reward of one cent for its recovery.
But that lawyer refuses to be convinced,
and thinks he has found the ''missing
link" for which Darwin has searched so
long unsuccessfully. The owner of the
glove is anxious to know how he can re-
cover his lost property.
