the employ Of one Higgine OF Kalamazoo, tax

left team and wagon at stable OF VIM. Lsrze-
lere and started for the Seymour House but
WAS taken with fit, being subject to them, on

store, and from there to the hotel, and while
in q At at that place his watch, two little bags
OF change and his pocketbook we're taken from
his pocket by Mr.. Seymour for safe keeping
till the man should recover. This was done
before two witnesses. Saturday morning when
the man called for his things, Seymour "knew
nothing about them; had no recollection OF
seeing them But finally, after threats Of
arrest and exposure, he found tie watch and
change IN his coat pocket, where he claims he
must have put them while 30 drunk he didn't
know what he was doing. These he handed
over to the parties, but the pocketbook con-
tanning some sS5 in bills he could not account
for, but finally proposed to pay over $40 and
give his note for the balance to be paid in
monthly installments of $40 each. Note Sc
cured by chattel mortgage on furniture IN the
hotel. This was agreed TO and 30 the matter
was settled without any arrests.
On Monday night Of this week the post office
and jewelry store OF W. B. Nichols OF this city,
was robbed Of about $50 worth OF stamps and
about $500 worth Of rings, chains, pins, etc.
Entrance was gained through the back window
to the p. o. by means Of heavy chises, which
we're left behind, inserted under the window,
prying 1t up, breaking the lock on the middle
rail- No clue to the thieves as yet. A torn
postal, which bore our Office mark was found
in shed back OF the Office, whittier they doubt
less took their plumber to examine il and
when the fragments were properly adjusted

While Mr.. c. l.. Sherwood can i'll afford to pay
$50 for stamps stolen, his loss is verylight
compared to that OF Mr. Nichols. They took
nearly everything he had In stock except his
watches which he kept in the safe OF Cooper

citizen, and while he has tho sympathy of the
entire community we hope that sympathy may
reach clear through the heart into the pockets
OF the community.
