H. A. Slayton & Cos. store was
broken into last Friday night, and an
attempt made to break open the safe.
The firm was forewarned by a detec-
tive, and Sheriff Hardy and c. M
Fitch were in waiting when the young
man called. He was about two hours
in effecting an entrance. When he
began work on the safe Mr.. Fitch
jumped for him, and the two began a
lively scuffie, when "Dan." gave a
yell that satisfied the intruder that
the building was full of officers, and
he surrendered. The fellow is about
20 years old. He gave his name as
Leonard Gibbs, and is supposed to
live at Enosburgh Falls. A drill, fuse,
powder, bars, etc., were found in his
possession. He was taken before
Justice Cady, who placed him under
$500 bonds, when he was taken over
to the county Jail for safe keeping
The fellow is said TO be a somnambu
list and we think Lanpher should mai
some stats over the windows.

enty to eighty Democratic votes are
usually cast in this town. Harmony
is much better than strife and discord,
and we expected that our neighbors
would conclude the exercises with a
love feast. We were mistaken, how
ever, for the air soon took on discor-
dant notes, with limitations of fraud
and the like, and the result, we un-
derstand, is not accepted as final by
some. We don't claim that it is any
of our business, gentlemen, but you
are foolish to s:kick." Mr.. Rich was
very well backed before, and he gets
the post-office now. You see if he
don't.
