Oldest and best known citizens,
who have succeeded Jno. McKin-

the state. They enjoy facilities
in special bills of lumber surpass-

The Burglars-Pistol Shooting.

On Friday night the burglars
were again on the rampage. About
nine o'clock some one was heard
prowling round the residence of
Tom Dwyer, near the Methodist
church. A number of pistol shots
were fred but as no dead burglar
has been found, tits fair TO pre-
sumo that nobody was hurt. A
residence near tho Catholic
church was visited, but the
burglar was scared off by pistol.
The residence of VIM Axer was al
so visited but so far as learned
was missed. All of these
houses are within two squares of
each other. The dwelling of Mr..
Adolph Woehler in the First ward
was again entered and several more
bottles of beer were carried off. 1t
is said that about a hundred shots
were fred during the night and it
is beginning to look as though
he shooting, in some instances,
was done out of mere wantonness.
it's very dangerous to shoot in
he dark, and unless burglar is
n sight no firing should be done.
