HIGHLAND HAPPENINGS.
r. Kennedy & Bros Safe Blown Open
and About One Hundred Dollars
Stolen.
SAFE ROBBERY.

SAFE ROBBERY.
On Friday morning of last week
the safe of r. Kennedy & Bro. was
blown open by burglars and about
one hundred dollars was taken out.
But if they had succeeded in blow
ing the inner vault open they would
have made quite haul. However
they knocked off the combination
and handle of the vault and drilled
in screw hole that held the combi-
nation, until they struck the steel
plate in the vault door which put a
stop to their drilling; then they took
large sledge and tried to burst it
open. By all accounts it seems that
the burglars must have come into
the village sometime in the fore part
of the night, and went to the public
school building and raised one of the
windows, ana entered and made a
fire as they burnt all the kindlings
from up stairs and also down stairs
to keep themselves warm. 1t is sup
posed they made the school house
their headquarters and when they
thought their way was clear they
went around to look for some tools
to work with. They went to j.
Thorwardt's, thence to J. Butter
worth's house. Mr. B. happened to
be up and saw two men go out Of
his gate. From there they went to
w. M. Chab's wagon shop, took out
a pane of glass from the window, but
somehow left there. They were
next traced to William Sengpeil's
wagon shop on one of the back
streets where they succeeded in get
ting some tools belonging to Peter
Bald Then they started to go to
work. They went to the rear of the
store and broke through window
in the wareroom and then forced
open the door leading from the store
to the wareroom. They drilled
hole into the safe which was blown
open. They found the above amount
in some drawers under the inner
vault but failed to get any more as
they could not make any entrance
into the inner vault. The safe was
made by Mosler, Bahman & Co., of
Cincinnati. S. H. Fitch, w. r. Ken
nedy's teamster, was the first to dis
cover the robbery early Friday
morning as he was going to the
stable in the rear of the store to take
care of his team. He gave the alarm
and in few minutes large crowd
had assembled to witness the scene.
We hope they will be captured and
brought to justice.

Reports have been received of a most

Reports have been received of most
inhnman outrage practiced on couple
of boys near jamestown. Wis, by a
farmer named Joe Daniels. The boys
were in the employ of Daniels. and the
latter missing $3.50 which he had re-
ceiyed, laid the theft of the money to
the boys. One Of them was taken to the
barn and rope placed around his neck.
He was hung until nearly dead, and to
save his life he said that he stole the
money and designated the place where
it could be found. The boy was then
taken to a justice and stated that he
never stole the money, and as it was
not found the justice discharged him.
The other boy was tied up and the
farmer, after pointing a loaded shot
gun at the lad, and threatening to kill
him unless he confessed, finally took
him before the same justice who dis
charged him also.
The circuit court for Lafayette coun-
ty commenced in Darlington last Tues
day, presided over by Hon. NJ. nj. Goth
rem. This is ths last term of court
which will be held by Judge Cothren
under his present term OF office. Judge
Cothren has doubtless been an upright
and nble Judge, and while he has borne
his blushing honors thick upon him,
during many years upon the bench,
amidst all the perplexing difficulties
generated in the erring human mind
impelled on irresistibly by the self in
terest of htigants. and often by the
deepest motives of revenge that iactu-
ated them in their appeal to the law.
yet he has stood mistaken as rock.
against the Gliding flood, while others
who have been lavish of their criticisms
upon him, under the same trying
scenes might have sunk beneath the
wave of the wild breaking river never
to be seen again. But Judge Cothren
will descend from the bench as pure
and spotless as the child returns from
