WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING.
The Alarming Frequency With Whicl
These Gases are Happening.

The Alarming Frequency With Which
These Cases are Happening.
OF late the police have stopped prob
ably dozen coal wagons, which ap-
peared to have too light loads, and upon
their being taken to the city scales were
found to be all the way from ten to fifty
pounds too light II is most likely, in some
cases that there is ''screw loose" some
where in the balances" of some dealers, as
in all these cases their weights have been
found to differ very materially from those of
the city Fairbanks Last Thursday a wagon
of dealer was found ten pounds short and
the same day one of another deal
er needed forty-fiye pounds to
meet the required weight. Saturday Officer
Mast stopped one of still another and, think
ing the measure TO be small, had him drive
back to the city scales. Here it was shown
that thirty pounds more were required to
tip the beam at the legal weight. The city
weighmaster, W. p. Gray, says that case
of deficiency in the weight of load of hay
is very seldom met with, as the farmers are,
as a general rule, too careful. One coal
dealer last week was so careful to get full
weight that he had ninety pounds too much.
Better too much than too little.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

Crooks Try in Vain to Enter n W ashington
street shop, but Their Key Won't Work.
Last night must have been some festal oc-
casion with the thieves and crooks about
town, as two or three burglaries have al
ready come to the notice of the police.
This morning Charles Patric of the firm of
L. Patric & Co., on Washington street,
went over to the Central fire department to
borrow ladder to get in the second story
window, as he said it vas impossible to
open the door down stairs. As soon as the
lock was examined from the inside, piece
of skeleton key was found
to be broken of inside of the
lock. This is the only trace
left by the rascals and it is evident that they
were foiled in their scheme as nothing is
missing from the shop or Office. 1t is hard
to tell what could be stolen from furnace
factory aside from breaking open the safe.
But burglars are so bold now days that it is
probable they intended making off with
furnace or two.

A WHOLESALE BURGLARY.
The Grocery Of +. NJ. Hughel, on the Old

About $40 Worth Of Goods Taken.

The Grocery Of +. NJ. Hughel, ON the Old
Dayton Pike, Entered LAST Night and
About $40 Worth of Goods Taken.
This morning Officers Mast and Norton
were apprised of the fact that burglars had
entered the grocery of F. NJ. Hughel, last
night and had succeeded in making away
with about $40 worth of groceries and other
articles of value.
The officers Immediately went down to
the grocery, which is situated on the old
DAYTON road. just off of Main street The
front door showed the rough traces of the
auger, as hole about three inches in cir
cumference had been bored Just beside the
lock' The burglars evidently thought that
ii would be too difficulta job for them to get
at the inside lock on this door, as an extra
strip of board had been nailed over the
place where they had bored. They then
went around to the side door, on the west
side, and very successfully got in their
work there. A hole, probably four inches
or more in circumference, had here been
bored and the inside lock forced of. They
selves to whatever they most desired. This
morning Mr.. Hughel missed whole box of
Star" tobacco, part of caddy of Jolly
Tar" part of box of Tidal Wave, and a
large quantity of Canary and ''Wigwan"
smoking tobacco. A fine S2-caliber Colts
revolver, with full box of cartridges,
about twenty-five cakes, and over one hum
dred cigars were also appropriated by the
villains The proprietor says that this is
all he misses at present, but 1t is more than
likely that scores of smaller articles of less
value are minus, but which would'not be as
readily noticed. Mr.. Hughers residence is
in the immediate rear of the grocery and
on the same lot, short path leading between
the two. He had been in the grocery in the
earlier part of the evening and everything
was then all right so that he is lead to be
lieve that the work was done after midnight.
The work Of boring was done, undoubtedly,
with an extension bit, as marks show the
work of a oae-half, three-fourths, one and
two inch bits. This same grocery was en-
tered last winter when forty-five pounds OF
bacon and quantity Of flour was stolen.
1t is supposed by the policeman that the
work was done by the same parties that
have been committing so many of these
Durglaries lately on the smaller groceries
and stores about town.

A Thousand Dollars for a Coon sEin, Ac-
cording to the Pattern.
A thousand dollars is big price for
coon skin, but that's what Springfield
sport says he will pay for one. But it
must be match to one already in his pos
session. Il never saw spotted one like
that, said he, pointing to large skin on
the wall. There are black hides and sill
yer grays, and nearly ali other colOrs, but
that's the only spotted coon hide that ever
came to this market" The spots were in
lines on the sides, and were thick round
blotches of gray, The fur-catch this year
has not been prolific, and prices have ruled
high Choice coon skins have sold for 81.
The biggest black coon ever known in In
diana, so far as the furrier was able to state,
was brought here this week. He measured
three feet from the tip of his nose to the
end of his tail. His hide is full two feet
wide and the fur is deep and thick. The
hide is almost big enough to have covered a
full-grown Newfoundland dog. The coon
that roamed the woods inside of this hide
must have been king and terror among
his tribe

UAcoNpA NOTES.

Morris Zimmerman has been on the sick
list a few days.
Rev. c. j. Buriert preached on Sunday
morning very interesting and appropriate
sermon from the words of Nehemiah, "Why
should the work cease?r
Oracle, the little daughter of W. HI.
Guthrie, on Lagonda avenue, died on Sat
urday of that terrible disease, diphtheria-
An older sister is also, at this writing, not
expected to live, by the same disease. The
other cases in the neighborhood are all i'm
proving.
A large number of our citizens attended
the funeral services of John p. Rhine, Sun
day afternoon. He was for many
years a citizen here, working in the
shop, where he was respected for his
industry and integrity. He was converted
and united with the church In this place.
In short, all who knew the deceased were
his friends who honored and respected
him.
The text of DR.. Tuckley was especially
appropriate, being as follows: ''1hou shalt
be missed for thy chair will be vacant
None will be missed more than he by a
large circle of relative and friends. The
funeral was one of the most largely attend
ed of any ever seen in the city.

than on their histrionic ability; but in this
case most of the participants are more or

make good impression. These facts, COM

doubtless will. 1t is to be hoped that peo-
