The telegram imparting the information is
meagre of detail, bnt conveys the intimation
that he had met his death by his own hands.
Lieut.. Loder was in camp with four compa-
MES of the Seventh infantry at Fort Benton,
en- route to a summer camp at Mussel Shell
creek. No cause can be assigned for the rash

BURGLARY.
One Of the most daring and success
full burglaries was perpetrated at Maiden
Rock, Wis, on Friday night June q,
that was ever known to that quiet
little burg. Some time during the night
burglars entered the dry goods store
of Trumbull & Hara by prying off the castings
of the back door. Once inside the polished
Williams proceeded to open the safe by profess
sional means, namely, by experimenting upon
the combination, as shown by tally sheet
found upon the premises the following morn
| ing, and by which they succeeded in opening
| it, and took therefrom over $4,000 in current
funds; after which they quietly took few
| cigars from an open box on the shelf, and as
| quietly took their departure, not leaving even
trace behind by which they might be tracked,
In view of the fact that the job was accom-.
plished in such mysterious manner, it is
evident that it was done by experts or some
one familiar about the premises
