ArrEmPrED RoBBxRY.


Last evening about 1890, when Mr..
Newell Cunningham was returning
from the show at the Opera House,
he noticed that the electric light,
which is usually put out at closing
time, was brightly burning in his
store. He opened the door to walk
in and put it out, when he noticed
the shadow of some enc fit across the
floor, and realizing that something
was wrong, he sent for policeman.
When the officer arrived they entered
the store and saw some one run to the
back door. They followed, and after
some search, a little colored boy about
eleven years old was dragged out,
He said his name was Robert Gold,
and his mother is a cook for John
Coutts. Investigation showed the
boy had used a hatchet on the safe,
the outside combination being out OF
order, tut beyond hacking the inside
door, no damage was done. He had
also pried off the two money drawers
behind the counters, and had secured
$500 in money, nothing but small
change being left at night in the
drawers. He had large paper bag
flied with candy, fire crackers,
crackers and cheese, and numerous
other articles. On being questioned
the boy said that Walter Payne, a
colored porter in the store, had told
him to secrete himself in a hogshsad
full of straw in the basement, and
that in the morning he would let
him out; that he would be perfectly
safe, as he had hid a boy in the store
once before and he was not disc0v-
cred. Payne was arrested this morn
ing as an accomplish, but in justice to
him it is but right to say that he has
heretofore borne good character,
and the boy may have simply ted
the story to get out of the scrape him
self. But the fact that the safe was
tempered with a short time ago,
making it impossible to close the out
side door until it was repaired, looks
as.if there might be something in his
story. The prisoners will havetheir
preliminary trial this afternoon at 4
O'Clock.

A Faithful Pastor.

We met Rev. A. ID. Sears on the
street this morning, and on asking
him whether he had any special SER
vice at the Baptist church to-mor-
row, he said: "No! nothing special,
but tomorrow will complete my
twenty-third year as pastor of my
church." Elder Sears is very much
beloved by all his congregation and
the community generally. When he
took charge of the church twenty
three years ago there were but
twenty-five members enrolled, but
to-day the books contain the names
Of two hundred and twenty commu-
nicants, many of whom are the sub
stantial business men of the town.
In that time a fine new church has
been built at cost of $4,000, and,
this dear old patriarch in Israel, is
blessed by old and young for the
good work he has done. We hope he
will be greeted by a large audience
tomorrow morning and evening.

TYPHOID FEVER.
A Disease which is sapping the Life
Blood Of This Community, and
which Should be Checked
at Once If Possible.

The opinion has long prevailed
among good medical authority that
milk causes typhoid and scarlet fever,
and in some cases tuberculosis or con-
sumption. AN epidemic of typhoid
fever in a village of New jersey has
recently been traced to the milk of a
COW. Itappears that the COW drank
sewage water. Animals need clean
food and clean water to drink as well
as human beings When water gets
low, it is always a good plan to boil
it and then filter, and milk should
also be boiled. Since we have been
here we have noticed several things
about the town that may account for
the prevalence of typhoid fever here,
and which has in majority Of cases
been fatal. We have in one or two
places in the town large pools of
water, which have no outlet, and
stand the year around. Although
these ponds may be perfectly harm
less, still there is danger Of their
breeding pestilence. Almost every
one who has COW allows it to run
the street and pick up what she can
eat. Some of these cows are not fed
sat home, and they wander down the
street, running their noses into every
book and corner that promises an old
EFotten apple or piece Of decaying
vegetable. What they eat must sure
ly faint their milk, and if what the
physicians say is true, it is wonder
that we don't have more sickness
than we. do. The prevalence OF
typhoid fever here demands the at
tention of the Board of Health. A
few old cows and pigs are pretty good
scavengers in one way, but may be
the cause of breeding pestilence
through tainted milk and meat.

A colored woman in Atlanta, Ga,
is trying to establish an institution in
which negro children shall be taught
to work, and be fitted for the service
of white people. We believe such an
institution would pay. The old-time
colored person, who had to learn to
cook, and keep house Is passing
away, and the younger class take but
little interest in domestic affairs, it
being hard to find good cook among
them, and it will not be long before
the demand for competent colored
servants will exceed the supply.

Obituary.

Thomas Elwood Atwell, notice of
whose death appears elsewhere, was
born in Ohio, June 20, 1888, and was
consequently in the seth year of his age.
Mr.. AtweH came to California in 1852,
where he remained until 1864 when he,
like many of the early settlers of the
Golden State. drifted to Nevada where
he has remained ever since, number
of years being spent in Tuscarora. In
1854 he was elected as Republican to
the Office Of County Sheriff, which posi-
ton he filled so acoeptably that IN 1886
he was re elected by the largest major
ity ever given to candidate in Exc
county. His term of Office would huve
expired on Monday morning, Jan. z,
1889.
Deceased leaves o wife aud two small
children, besides three grown sons and
dnughter, two of whom are here, one
in California and one in Washington
Territory, the fruits of former mar
ringe, to mourn lis loss. The sympa-
thies of the whole community, in which
the INDEPENDENT joins, ore extended to
the bspeaved ones in their sore distress.
Though sympathy avails but little in
assuaging the poignant grief Of those
who are suddenly bereaved Of near and
dear friends, still it is some consolation
to such to know that they are sur
rounded with friends who would take
pleasure in relieving, as far as possible,
the sorrows caused by the. loss of o
husband and father.
The funeral will take place from the
Church at II o'clock tomorrow morn
