Mrs. Dora Thornton, better known
to our people by her maiden name oil
Dora Shinkc, met with a serious acct.
dent at her home, at Kamilchie, last
Saturday. 1t seems she was remov.

charged, and the ball passed through
her left arm just below the elbow.
The wound is a painful one, but no
lasting effects are anticipated from it.

which became frightened and ran
over an embankment, was likewise

James Stuart was arrested Monday
on complaint preferred against him of
petit larceny. 1t seems the charge
was true one, for he subsequently
made full confession of the theft OF
several articles and took Marshal Saw
idge to a place in the edge of the
woods on Westside, where several oil
cloth coats, known as slickers,"
were found cached, which were ascer-
tanned to be the property of the Lawton
brothers. Stuart had his trial Tues
day before Judge Sparks, and was
convicted on his own confession. He
was given % days in the county Jail.
Look at those new hats at Toklas &

Mrs. P. d. Moore received yesterday
the sad tidings of the death of her
brother-in-law, Mr.. Z. A. Wilkinson,
an eminent citizen of Newark, N. j.
The following notice appears in the
New York Tribune: ELIAS Wilkin-
son, one of the most prominent citi-
zens Of Newark, N. j., died from para
lysis of the brain at his home in Clin-
ton Avenue, Newark, at four A. NJ.
yesterday, age forty-seven. Mr.. Wiki
inson was senior partner of the extern
sive wholesale grocery firm of Wilkin-
son & Gaddis. The firm had years ago
built the largest warehouse in Newark.
He was an Aldermen of Newark in
1880, and a member of the Legisla-
ture in 1880 and 1881. He was Pres
ident of the Security Savings Bank
and director in other financial institu-
TONS"
The residence of Mr.. G. NJ. Moore was
entered Monday night, during short
absence of the family, and articles to
the value Of about 5000 were stolen
therefrom, including gold watch,
jewelry-case and purse of coin, all
belonging to Mrs. Moore. 1t seems
that the thief effected an entrance by
the kitchen window, and evidently
went about his work with deliberation,
as the candle-grease dropped over the
floor indicated that he had light to
guide him in his operations. On de-
parting, he left the front door open,
doubtless from a respect for the adagc
that It's useless to lock the door
after the horse is stolen" Charley is
in hopes that his unannounced visitor
will return, and promises him a warm
reception if he should happen to be at
home.
Go to Toklas & Kaufman's if YOU wish
anything in fine clothing.
