The burglar arrested in Lamar last
week proves to be Henry Patton, brother
of Mr.. Geo. Patton, of Rocky Ford Pat
ton burglarized five houses Mt Lamar and
was arrested at Caddoa. He jumped
through window and although Q shots
were fired at him none took effect but he
was finally run down. Patton left here
couple of weeks ago in search OF work,
but it appears that he lost what money
ne had gambling and was ashamed to
return and let his wife know it and tried
to procure the money in the way he did.
1t is a severe blow TO mis- wife, and broth
er, who are most respectable people.
His wife and three little children have
found a temporary home with his brother.
Patton is confined in the Lamar jail and
will not be tried until November. He
says he tried to escape hoping he would
be shot and his crime never known to
his folks.-Rocky Ford Enterprise

Summer Resort.
The season at the lake side resort on
Kings Reservoir has fairly opened. AL
most any day one can see the large lake
dotted with bathers, while that proud brig
ANN" stands out in bold relief against
the summer sky. The first Of this week
was no exception to the rule. sThe
multitudinous laughter Of the lake un-
der the glancing light OF sunbeams," the
rollicking voices of the boys, mingled
with the stern orders of commander Billy
Cooper was music to the ear, as tho REG
lister man stood on tho hill top overlook
ing the gay scene. The brig was gaily
driven before the rising breeze. loaded
down with boys dressed in every sort
and condition of raiments, such as an
improvised bathing suit consisting OF an
old night shirt on the fair form of Mort
Strain, or a full dress suit with a Grim
son necktie on Billy Cooper. When the
boat was out near the middle of the lake
a strong gust of wind struck the sail full
and fair, and landed it keel up, with the
boys splashing and scrambling in the
water. The boys Immediately set
about to right the boat In their excite
ment no one had missed Mort Strain un-
til about four minutes after the accident,
when he bobbed serenely to the surface
and spluttered: Thirty feet to He'll and
half mile to shore, lets go to shore
After about an hours hard work the
boys succeeded in getting in to shore,
and the last thing the REGISTER man
heard was Clarence Lee saying Boys,
never give this away" and solemnly Billy
Leonard, Harry Leo and the rest held
their hands and said: "Never."

The death of little Lena Ferguson,

was great favorite with her playmates,
and the light and sunshine of the house

Her death will be mourned by a large
circle OF friends who cherished and loved
her. We would gladly give word Of
comfort to the eheart-stricken parents, but
realize how empty are mere words. A
traveller in high latitude found rare
little flower blooming on the sunny side
of an iceberg. He tore it from its native
place, potted it and carried it to his sun.

unknown to the native soil. Look up

1t will doubtless be of some in.
terest to the Audrain county heirs
of the huge Edwards estate to
know that the suit to be instituted
at once ia for the recovery of prop
erty leased to the City of New
York ninety-nine years ago. This
lease has just expired. Ninety
nine years ago Robt. Edwards, at
that time a large real estate owner
in the City of New York, leased to
the city for the term of ninety-nine
years a considerable amount OF
real estate, on which Broadway
and several adjacent streets for
some distance are now located, the
lease specifying that at the termi.
nation of the lease the property,
with all its improvements, should
revert to his heirs. He died a
bachelor, leaving an only brother
as bis heir. That brother died,
leaving one child, a daughter, as
his heir. She married and heI
descendants are the heirs to the
property. Suit is to be commenced
at once to recover possession. The
whole number of heirs is not now
known, but even if there re We
1000 of them it would still mean 9
magnificent fortune for all con.
