McCabe arrested a couple of suspicious
a Yagrants and locked them
up. They gave their names as A. j.
West, of Detroit and c. II. Tuttle, Of
Ontario. On their persons was found
large assortment of keys, a screw driver,
and other industrial implements, while
the cCmmiSsariat was stocked with but
one bottle of whisky. The pair had
made a pretty thorough canvass of the
dwelling houses of the village, begging
for money and clothing, timing their
visits so as to find women only at the
houses. As no specific charge could be
brought against them they were sent
adrift Saturday morning.

last Sunday morning. commemorative
of the fallen heroes of the late war,
were of n very interesting nature. The
