most pleasing. They took full suit Of
clothes apiece and lot of j~welry and
other articles amounting In the aggregate
to $500 or 5000, The store when entered
By the owner after the burglars had left
had the appearance OF having been visited
by North Dakota zephyr, the floor and
counters being strewn In all directions.
Two suspicious looking gents had been
observed In town during the day and sus-
picion hangs on them. A row was gotten
Up In distant part OF the town AID while

he had an opportunity to decide whether
he was meanthimself. a forelorn look

at his back door and wanted something to

heart disease any way and was half starved.
Thosgh somewhat affected we stifened up
our backbone and said no, informing the
fellow that the marshal had issued orders
not TO feed any more men. lie claimed he
had a special permit; but OF course that
was thin. People who don't know just
how to turn of the fellows, can take the
hint and lay Il on to the marshal ;he won't
care. Let the word get out once that there
Is strict quarantine here and we soon will
be rid of the yarmints.
