$50 persons have been taken on probation and
still there is more to follow, as the result of

The usually quiet village of Athens, Pa,
was startled yesterday morning by the fact
that 4 daring robbery had been committed
during the night.
Our correspondent writes that the hardware
store of FIrCu & KINNEY was entered and
money taken to the amount Of $3.50. The
thieves broke into a large vault by digging
through the brick-work, but failed to open
the safe inside the vault. They secured some
small boxes, left there for safe keeping, be-
longing to individuals and societies. The
Masonic Society and Presbyterian Church are
the principal losers. j. NJ. ELY lost two
private boxes and one business box, and J.
NJ. JACKSON private box. There was 800
to $3.50 taken, and many valuable papers. No
clue has been found to the robbers yet. FITCH
e KINNLY will be at an expense of $40 to re-
pair damages. The Societies will not miss
the money so much as the valuable papers,

CnErCO. TIE SEMINOLE CHIEF
A Savage WHO Once Tossed Up
IA Babe and Caught Il upon the
Point of His knife.
Barton yFln.) Informant.

Barton Fla.) Informant.l
The news has just reached us Of the
death of Chipco, tho chief Of a rem
nant OF a band Of Tallahassee In
dians, on the 10th of October last.
This noted Seminole warrior, as near
as can be learned, was a little over
100 years of age, and had, up to a few
months back, been able to engage in
the hunts aud annual festivities Of his
tribe, but has at last lad to succumb
to old age. He fully participated in
the long Seminole war. aud at the
time Billy Bowlegs and his compan
ions were deprated to Indian Terri.
tory-in 1856 Chipco and his band
managed to elude their pursuers, and
have since lived here and there in the
Kissimmee country, though of late
years their main camp has
been about twenty-five miles
east Of here, near the Catfish
lakes. Though not actively engaged
in the memorable Dade's massacre, in
1895, Ohipco was present at many
masSacreS and battles VI minor lmp0r-
lance. In talking over his past career
he always expressed regret but for one
deed, which was the killing of a white
infant by tossing it up and catching it
as it came down on the point OF his
hunting knife. The usual formalities
peculiar to Indian tribes were gone
through with at his death. Six 6ne
horses and many fat hogs were shot
and killed at his grave, and his rife
and hunting accoutrements, together
with cooking ~untensils, were buried
with him, so that he might have the
use Of them in the happy hunting
grounds" The remnant Of Ohipco's
band now numbers but three warriors,
with their women, children and me-
groes, and the chieftain's mantle has
descended on the shoulders of Chipco's
Oldest son, who will be known in dip
lomatic circles as Tustenuggee Ia
husky.

The extension Of railroads and tele-
