At intervals during an extended per

been robbed of flour, feed. meat and 9TH
er classes of provisions. All efforts, for
a long time, have proved f:uitless in dis
covering the thief. But frequent repe-
titlons aroused the greatest vigilence on
the part of the officers. and
this week they were rewarded by capt

years old. and she has been returned
home. His wife declares that Andrews
has not been right in his mind for some
time. Andrews showed remarkable Gun
