CONVICTED. Prank Stanton, who

arrested by Sheriff Richards at Waupun
for blowing open the safe of Osborne &
Cobb's, at Bloomington. October &c,

from it $303 and an overcoat belonging
to Will Osborne. At the same time the
burglar made his escape with J. L.
Schulte's bay horse, which he afterward
turned loose in u field near Wehrle,
where Constable Carroll captured il
and returned it to its owner In the
circuit court in this city yesterday Stan
toms trial was held and he was convict
ed of the latter crime, the jury finding
him guilty of burglary and larceny
The chain of evidence in this case was
purely circumstantial but so carefully
was it managed that he was convict

amounted to only few cents, but be
served three years in Waupun for it, less
the usual deductions. He was seen in
Bloomington three days before the Os-
borne burglary, and when arrested for it
was wearing the identical coat stolen
from Will Osborne, which he claimed
was given HIM by pal with whom he
arranged the burglary at Fennimore,
but who failed to keep the appointment.
Also one button was gone from the coat
and the others matched the one found.
A spool of linen thread in his pocket
was of the same kind and number as
that wrapped around the fuse. This
evidence was all substantiated and on
the last day of court the artful burglar
will probably be sent where he will
crack no more safes for at least five
years.

LANCASTER IN CASE OF FIRE.--There
is no lodging the fact that Lancaster in
in case of large fire would be in an
almost helpless condition. Several
times during year the question is dis
cussed around the stoves in our leading
stores, and the attention of the Mayor
or an Alderman called to the fact that
some sort of system of protection
against fire should be inaugurated, and
then the matter is thought of no more.
In the midst of drouth as protracted
and severe as the one of the last sum-
mer. if fire should break out in any
one of the business blocks of the city, it
would result most disastrously. Nor
would 1t be matter of less serious re-
suits in the middle of winter with high
wind and the thermometer from to
250 below zero. Exactly what should
be done so supply of water could be
had in case of fire and means of apply
ing it to a burning building, we are not
prepared TO state, but it is evident that
some plan ought to be devised for emer-
gencies. The subject of public water
supply for Lancaster will always con-
tinne to engage attention until some
plan Is adopted. Much interest has
been manifested and various schemes
proposed, both for public water sup
ply and for protection against fire.
These matters are of the very first i'm
portance to the welfare of the commun-
Ity. and ought not be allowed to drop
until some efficient method has been
devised for defense against the ravages
of fire.
