"A full round hand. says the Kala-
mazoo Telegraph, on one of ous hotel
registers announced the arrival in our city
one day recently of "E. Brown, Chicago. :"
There would be nothing about this an
nouncement to excite comment were it not
for the fact that this Brown was n novel
Brown, indeed a most distinguished MEM
ber of the great army of Browns. This
character is none other than the first lady
drummer that ever visited our city. There
is little to distinguish her from other
women and nothing to her discredit. She
wore a modest black 1yrolese hat, a tight
fitting, short broadeloth suit, and about
-
fit. This was not her beat but she talked
baking powder between trains with true
Chicago accent and very taking style. Two
heavy dealers tumbled to her persuasive
racket, buying enough ito raise the dead"
even.
The horse-stealing epidemic has its
present postoffice address in Ingham Coun-
ty. Thieves broke into the barn of Chas.
f. Stabler, who lives three miles from
Lansing, on the Eaton Rapids road, aud
stole horse, buggy, harness, whip and
robes. Mr.. Stabler tracked the rig into
Delhi and there met john Miller, who was
engaged on similarly sad mission. At
Miller's place the thieves had taken fine
3-year-old colt belonging to his son-in-
law, Theodore Furley, aud left the Stabler
horse in its place. The thieves were trailed
toward Mason by the two. A thrce-spring
platform buggy was taken from the barn
of Wilson Moore, who lives one and half
miles north of Lansing. The thieves left
behind them the following modest aud un-
obtrusive little note to console Mr.. Moore
for his loss: "Dear Mr.. Moore-Do not
think your buggy has been stolen, for it
has not. only borrowed it. will bring
it back in a few days. Yours truly, G. II. Il. I"
