Our Sick.

The advantage of county hospital is
not quite so great an item to ketchum-
ties as the amount of hospital tax they
annually contribute towards such an in
stitution. While the INDECENT sick OF
Haley and neighborhood continue to
enjoy the privileges OF care and medical
attention at the county expense, we are
compelled invariably to support them by
subscription, Notwithstanding the re-
quired taxation which goes to the main
flamenco of an institution that is almost
exclusively HALEY town-affair- JUS
tice Hodson of this place now has two
subjects under care at his own expense,
one, now lying in room at the Palace
Hotel end another for several days past
an occupant of the Jail bed-the only
available lodging in town. Local Doc
tor bills are often necessarily raised
here by taxpaying citizens upon whom
there is a continual call for help; help
that rightfully should be extended by
the treasury to which we contribute for
such purposes. subscription OF sou
was raised here on Wednesday for the
care of Mr.. E. Philips, who has for some
time been suffering with pneumonia, the

| aid. There are several patients here nov
relying upon the people for support, be
ing too low to ship by stage ana refuse'

this matter? How long must our citi
zens throw money away in an ungratefu

There is considerable rivalry between
the towns of Gimlet and Anger, situated
at the bridge between here and ketch-
UNI. Gimlet is on the east side of the
river and Anger on the west. The pop
ulation of the two towns are about equal,
but each expects to double its popula-
ton within the next sixty days. As the
wind is generally from the west, it en-
ables the residents of Anger to throw
dust into the eyes of the Gimletites. and
may yet result in bloody war. News

ence of the surrounding country and
live in the history of Ketchum as cred
it to the enterprise and patriotism OF hel
citizens? Let us begin to think of II
and arrange an event that will at once
profit and please the community.

There is at least one Z" Irish Democratic
Hopper" who has badly soured on the
methods of the Grand Old party aud that is
James Patterson. james has entered suit
before Justice Buchanan to receive money
due him by W. J. W. Cowden, Chairman Of
the Republican State Executive Committee.
Patterson was the circulating medium be-
tween the Republican managers and the
alleged disaffected Irish, aud was en-
gagged by Cowden, so he swears, to
distribute documents. He says he
was given a lot of copies of the
Irish World and certain other Radical doc
umentS, with instructions to distribute them
among the Irish, and which he saws he did.
His claim is that he could get no money
from Mr.. Cowden for the work done and he
now brings suit for Sll.TO. The case will
be heard on Monday next
Mr.. Cowden may have different view,
but the above is Pattisons story, to the
truth of which he made oath before the JUS
rice. Patterson wanted the case heard be-
fore the election, feeling probably that after
that time his chances would grow less This
is great case.

commenced stoning Mrs. ~. Huffman and
her daughter while milking. They thought
at first that it was some Of the neigEborS'
boys who wished to scare them, having nc
idea that any one wished to harm them, so
they went to the house and put their milk
away aad then came out to hear the band
play in Huntington, and while standing in
the orchard near the house one Ofthe children
was struck by stone they ran into the
fouse followed by the would.be devil who
shot at them three times. They fastened
the door and this he broke down, ordering
the inmates to come out otherwise he
would kill them. They refused to obey his
orders, he then commenced throwing stones
through the windows, and finally put gar
ment over his head and attempted an
entrance, but his progress was retarded
by Mrs Huffman, who fought him at the
door, and whau overpowered she and her
family ran up stairs, at the head OF which
she and her daughter again fought him.

1t is supposed the party came from over

with note requesting that the 'skif should
be taken back to the brick house on the op.

REIGN OF TERROR.
The City 0yerrun by a Gang Of
Foreign Crooks.
A Fulton Maa Ganoted and Four Houses
Broken lnto---Two Wheeling Resi-
dences Burglarized---0pefa-
tioas by Bold rramps.

The city is infested by gang Of thieves,
thugs and burglars, who are plying their
nefarious work in every direction. Eight
distinct cases Of burglaries, or attempts, are
reported and some of them are especially
bold and daring ones. Early yesterday
morning, between midnight and o'clock,
Fulton received visitation. Albert
Schairer, the well known butcher, came ont
of Heller's saloon and found his team miss
ing. Discovering it on the pike, some dis
lance toward the east, he went to it. As
he reached it, six men sprang out, two
Selling the horses and two holding Schairer,
while the othertwo searched him. One of
the men had Schairer by the throat and
choked him savagely, giving him heavy
blow on the head at the end. The high
waymen got 81 from their victim and left
him living on the Elm Grove track.
The men-evidently the same-then
went TO the residence Of Ernest Steen, and
opened front window. Upon getting into
the room, they found the inside door locked
and abandoned the search. Michael Stein $
house was then visited and entrance gained
By cutting out some OF the shutter stats.
When in the house. they made a noise that
aroused Mr.. Stein, and the burg glars
fed Then they went to the saloon
of Charley Daub and quickly got in. Bat
a man was asleep in the rooom and the
noise woke him. He let go an oath that
caused the rascals to beat precipitate re-
treat They then went to Charles Cline 5
as detailed below, and afterward returned
TO Fulton. Several persons saw them, and
at once put them down as crooks, but could
possibly not identify them.
These eases, with the others that appear
below, should be warning to householders
TO lock up securely and keep revolver
handy. The REGISTER has repeatedly given
this warning and it should be needed now.

BURGLARS AT WORK.

4 North Wheeling Store Entered but the
Thieves Scared on.
About o'clock yesterday morning bur
glars attempted to rob Mr.. Charles Clincs
store, corner of Seventh and Market street
but were detected before their work was
completed, and they left, empty-handed, for
parts unknown. Mr.. Thomas Cockayne on
passing the store at the time named, noticed
two men at the window he spoke to them
and upon receiving no response he fastened
10 the Vigilant engine house and securing
the assistance of Mr.. Henry, the hostler,
and Richard Kenney. The trio immed-
lately repaired to the store only to find that
Mr.. Cockayne's suspicious were well founded
but that the birds had flown. The thieves
he'd forced open the window, entered the
s,ore and removed the bar from the front
door and probably hearing these gentlemen
coming, left in hurry.
