BURGLARY George Welcome OF
Donnelly, informs US that his saloon was
broken into last Saturday evening, after
closing up time, and about seventy dollars
worth of liquor and cigars stolen. There
is no track or clue to the burglars, but it is
supposed that some of tie many immi
grants who are daily passing through, com
mitted the theft.
RAIN.-Last Friday evenings rain storm
was one of the most severe we have seen il
these parts. The rain poured down in tor
rents, and the terrific thunder an1 light
ming accompaniment lent an awful grand
eur to the scene which which was one o
the widest and most weird we have seel
for years. About inches of water fel
during the night.
CoRRECTIoN.-We stated last week tina
Pat. Garner had been killed, but later par
ticulars prove this an error. 1t was Johr
Garner, brother, who was killed. Til
accident occurred at st. Cloud. Garne
was killed by being thrown from the trail
on which he was employed. Pat was a
work on the west end at last accounts, an(
hence the mistake.

meeting of the club called for that evening
consequently there has been no re-orgauiza
tion.
