amounting to about $3.50. They were sent
through the mail and postmarked at st.
Paul. He received them on Friday night
last. The fact that all the parties who have
been robbed of papers which have been re-
turned to them have received the packages
from the st. Paul postofice is indicative
that all the robberies have been committed
by the same gang.
The st. Peter Tribune says that a fruit
thief came to grief few nights ago in Mr..

peared and were about taking some melons
when he blazed away with shotgun. The
boys got away, but the next day DR.. Daniels
was summoned to take some shot from one
boys leg, although he says he was shot while
hunting chickens. The Tribune also has this:
One day last week several boys entered j. B.
Sackett's yard and commenced stealing
grapes and apples As Mr.. and Mrs. Sack
EFT had gone to St. Paul they evidently
thought that they would not be molested,
but it happened that servant girl was in the
house, and she drove them off, but not until
they had pelted her with stones, one of which
struck her on the head and inflicted q severe
wound. ]. B. would really like to know
who these boys were, and if he finds out it
will 60 hard with them. It seems almost
useless to attempt to raise fruit here. for
after all the labor and money expended it
results in its being stolen.
Suggestion.
To the Editor of the Globe:
ST.. PAUL, Sept. 11.-Now that the State
fair is ended, beg to offer few remarks in
regard to the next, which may probably be
. comfort and convenience to visitors. One
attraction would be few flower beds about
the grounds, and trees to relieve the monot-
ony. The next, having seats around 80 that
the weary may rest. There is nothing so at.
tractive as outside beauty for the grounds,
and it can be easily done at the proper time.
The last offer is that while we are finding
fault with others it would be as we'll to keep
the sharks off the grounds and vicinity, who
prey on the unwary. WALTER CAKES
