Between the hours of noon and 2
o'clock, Friday, some rascallion entered
Chris Hannys store, by the Eighth street
door, and while the attention of the sales
men was devoted to other matters, gained
the money drawer, and distracted there
from the sum of twelve dollars Upon dis
covering the loss Mr. Hanny made no ado
about the matter, and in the hope of Turing
the fellow to another attempt, demeaned
himself as if he had not detected his loss.
The rascal evidently took the bait, for
about O'Clock the the same evening the
store was entered by sOmebody-likely tho
same MANN his sock feet Unfortu-
nately the dash for him was made too SOON
The fellow dashed away, and was soon out
of sight and hearing.
| As was mentioned in these columns
several days ago, Judge Harker has grant
ed the injunction prayed tor by Saline
county, to restrain the Cairo & Vincennes
railroad company from the collection of the
100000 bonds, issued by the county to the
company in the year 1879. The case was
argued at great length in Williamson coun'
ty circuit court, although originally set for
a hearing in the circuit court, Of Alexander
county. The argument concluded, the
Judge took the matter under advisement,
and gave the facts and authorities presented
careful consideration. The conclusion al
which he has arrived will, therefore, COM
mand much respect as the opinion of g
careful, intelligent, conscientious Judge
The bonds in question were issued under
the same law, for the same purpose, and
stand much upon the same footing as TIT
| 100000 issued by Cairo and Alexander
county.
We had received limitations that {
strong pressure would be brought to bcal
upon Judge Harker to enter the field as {
candidate for the Circuit Judgeship, bu
did not know, until so informed by tn,
Johnson County Journal, that he had con
sented to run and avowed himself candi
date. This will be gratifying intclligenc,
to large number of voters in all parts o
the district Although the Judge has worr
the ermil G but short time he has by hi!
suavity and genial disposition, as well az
because of his seeming adaptation to thu
position, his determination to enforce
promptness on the part of the attorneys
economy in the administration of justice
and to maintain the dignity of the position
won largely upon the respect and conf
dence Of the people. We have now in thu
field eight candidates, FIVE Republicans anC
three Democrats, with the promise Of foul
