Sunday evening some fond soul, but
hard up for wearing apparel, stole pair
of black pants from fellow named Lam
bert, who lives in the bucolic village of
Moline. The thief's name was Seigels,
at least he was strongly suspected. This
morning Seigels was found in bed at the
Commercial house, but upon searching
the rooms no pants answering to the de-
scription could be found, and as there
was no evidence that he was the thief, he
was turned loose The thief has not yet
been found, nor has Lambert laid eyes Oh
his dearly beloved pants.

fresh spot, That is to say he repeated
the programme by setting on his wife
again and beating her He is again in
limbo, having been arrested by Officer
Rugh. We fear that John is past all
hopes of redemption. He is incorrigible
to say the least He don't seem 10 care
