able quantity of plunder secured, but it
is difficult to tell at this time just how

thief is well dressed man this morn

about the store. In addition to what
clothing he took away, the burglar car

war Mr.. A. settled in the South, where
he married, entered into business and
has raised family of children to man

Cadet Elmer w. Clark, Of the West
Point military academy, arrived at this
place, his former home, yesterday morn

looks forward to the day when he will
graduate and launch out upon the rigid

chosen. Cadet Clark is young man of
magnificent physique - standing over
