WARREN.--On Wednesday evening
August 9th, the store of S. d. Allen wa.
entered and two registered letters were
taken from the post office. Fortunately
one had but $500 in it, while the other
had SU05, including check of S6S.6O
which was of no account to the thief. The
registered packages were missed early
Thursday morning, and on examination il
was found that small cellar window had
been taken out, and the thief had let him
self down into the cellar and from there
through trap door up into the store and
post office, on his return out replacing
the window nicely in its place. Suspicion
Immediately rested upon one Ed Van
Deusen, as he was in the store at the time
the letters were registered. Mr.. Allen
obtained the services of Constable Cardell
and Lawyer John Center and went 10 his
home, and when near the house heard him
coming down stairs and saw him 90 out the
back door; one of the men going round
the house saw him 90 into the barn and
put something in the haymow, and then
return to the house. He denied having
anything to do with the robbery, and
wondered why any one should suspect him,
but on going to the haymow box OF
candy and cigars and the two registered
letters were found and showed TO him. He
was Immediately arrested and waited until
Friday for States Attorney and Post
Office Agent Bigelow. He had his hearing
before Justice Campbell, and held Mt
$500 bail, in default of which he was
committed to Jail. Mr. Ed. Van Deusen
is nineteen years old, of good parentage,
good looking and wellappearing fellow,
but his previous inclination to steal and
a sneaking disposition, mixed up with n
little old cider occasionally, has won for
him a bad reputation, so much so that his
being in the store that evening and at the
time of registering the letters, also when
the store was closed for night, that he was
the first one suspected by Mr.. Allen and
the clerk. Upon further investigation tits
supposed that he has for some time been
in and out of the store when he pleased,
as he has IA gold ring which was missed
some time ago, and has also been seen
with cigars and plenty of postage stamps,
some of which were found with the
letters when taken. 1t was one of the
most daring thefts that was ever commit
ted in this section, especially for a young
man of his stamp. His widowed mother,
brother and sister have the heartfelt sym
patty Of all.
Rev. w. E. Bogart of Newark, N. j.,
is with US once more after an absence Of
nineteen years. His many friends were
glad to welcome him to their homes, and
listen to his many words of truth and
wisdom, which he imparts alike to one
and all. Sabbath morning he preached
an interesting discourse, while in the
evening an interesting gospel temperance
meeting was conducted by him,
Many of our young friends and some
older ones are DOMINIC bathing suits and
endeavoring to learn to swim, at least
they seem to make the river side quite a
resort for oilers.
Some of our citizens are at Plainfield
