ACCIDENT P. Rogue, of Pope Co.,
was found dead last Sunday We are I'M
able to give any particulars except that he

IF ever it happens children, that you get estched,
some time,
With fire a-blowin' toward You, as fast as fire can
climb,
You'll get up and get in hurry as fast as you can
bulge;
It's a lively season of the year, or else amt no
Judge"
And we think Carleton about right, 1t is
"lively season." and some Of our readers,
unless they take our advice and protect
their property. will find it not only lively,
but warm The citizens of upper town
took advantage of the calm weather Satur-
day morning, and "backfired" their side OF
the village, and we hope to see the black
circle completed and the whole protected.
WHEAT AND SEPARATOR BURNED.-This
time the Maginnis Brothers are the victims.
Last Thursday their engine and threshing
machine were at work on Mr. VIM. Bur-
rill's farm, and the machine had just been

BURGLARY. Last Monday evening, the
store of Messrs Wolff & Wells was entered
through window, and lot of clothing
and other goods were taken. The loss was
not Immediately discovered, nor was the
amount and value of the stolen goods as
certained The case was placed in the
hands of our competent Marshal and his
deputy, and before four o'clock a clue was
found and followed up, and resulted in the
recovery Of the woods and arrest of the
suspected party. The prisoner gives his
name as VIM. Hogan, and, as we are in
formed, came to this place from Benson,
about two or three weeks ago. The officers
deserve credit for the successful manner in
which the guilty party was trapped. 1t
was ascertained that the goods were in the
park, but only one or two besides the Off

away every stack of wheat on John T. Gal
