Wetzel, of Wyoming, was entered by
burglars and the house ransacked and
the inmates chlorofOrmed. One of the i
daughters is to be married in a few c
days, and all her wedding outfit was t
carried of-silk and travelling dresses,
and even her shoes and stockings. The ]
loss is not only annoying, but as the
outfit was a handsome and expensive
one, the loss is heavy. There is pos
sibility that the parties who committed
the deed will be caught.-Stdte Senti-
