We learn that the house of Michael
Schwendinger in town Cottonwood was
clandestinely entered last Friday night
and a number of articles of wearing
apparel, a revolver and few other
trinkets stolen therefrom. A watch
hanging against the wall was not de.
sturbed, probably because the owners
name was engraved on the case. Mr..
Schwendinger was in New Ulm at the
time and the theft was not discovered
until Saturday night. He thinks the
rascal made night of it, for after Co.

search of money, he quietly ensconced
himself in Mikes bed until near morn

spotted.
