They also took lot of corn from tn,

They entered the house with a falst
key. 1t is pretty well known who the
ight-fngered people are, and effort;

Myron Amber was arrested last
Thursday by Sheriff Lanpher, charged
with purloining funds belonging to f.
a. Smalley. Amber & SmalIey are
engaged in business together. They
are dealers in piano and fancy lumber.
Smalley furnishes the money and Am
bier the experience. The contract
between the parties was that Amber
should not dispose of the lumber or
collect any bills, and Smalley was to
have a lien on all stock until he was
paid. Amber however collected some
money (about $500 for lumber sold
which he refused to deliver, conse-
quently Smalley had the necessary
papers made out and Amber was ar
rested, after passing several days in
the woods where he fled when he
learned that the Sheriff was after him.
Not being able to get a settlement
with him and refusing to pay over
any of the money, the States Attor-
ney took the matter in hand and had
him held for embeZzlement and larceny.
Sheriff Lanpher searched him on Tues
day and found 1892 on his person.
Amber says he is willing to settle the
matter when he can get settlement
satisfactory to himself, in this and
other cases. A hearing will probably
be had to-day Wednesday,

pleasant time was enjoyed by about

bright autumn gems, seen only when
the waning year brings its frosts to
brighten the leaves and prepare US for
the cold winter season. The company
