Last Thursday week glass blower named c.
Bocco took his shotgun and went up near the
'ford" on the Illinois river to hunt. Getting tired
for the while, he went into the bushes and ate a
lunch returning to find his gun had disappeared,
Some distance off was an oldish man, said to be
named Cummins, who he supposed carried it off;
but Cummins stoutly denied it. Bocco gave up
the search unrewarded for the day; but next
morning returned. Seeing the old man coming
in his direction, he hid in the bushes and watched
the uususpecting man who went to a lot Of
bushes and tall grass, drew out the gun from its
hiding place and was leisurely walking off with it
when our glass blower appeared. There was a
scene; but the glass blower came home with his
shotgun.
