mer resident of this place and brother to W.
L. and s. NJ. Heller, the latter of whom. ac-
companied BY Mrs. David Shoemaker, his
sister, left on the evening train for Antwerp.
The details Of the death are mesger. It
seems that Mr.. Heller, who lives at Fl.
Wayne and travels for firm of that place,
arrived in Antwerp Monday evening, and
going to his hotel, retired after having re-
quested the clerk not to call him in the
morning as he felt like sleeping late.

1t is supposed that heart trouble. with
which he was troubled, was the cause of his

chant of Napoleon and has hosts of friends
in Henry, Defiance and Paulding counties
who will reeeive the Rews of his sudden

A large crowd turned out to hear the Man
dolin Club demonstrate its musical ability
Tuesday evening, and many who had pur-
chased tickets could not attend for sundry
reasons, still their mite went to swell the re-
ceipts, which exceeded $40 The club WAS
assisted by the 18th Regt. band, Mrs. Luella
Prints, violin, and Mr.. W. w. Campbell,
| vocal solo.
Everything on the program moved off
smoothly and the general verdict after the
! entertainment was "well DONE" The mus
| icale was success and the company for
whose benefit it was given return sincere
thanks to Messrs. Bacchus, Tylers, Orwig,
Dittenhaver, Sites and Heller for their Ia
Dor which was entirely gratuitous. Espec-
tally to DR.. Bacchus, who is of Grand Rap
Company feel under obligations for kind
ness in rendering his skill on the mandolin.
| He, as have the other manipulators of the
mandolin, has long since passed that stage
in proficiency where he is ranked as novice
and the audience appreciated this fact. The
mandolin players were Messrs. George Ty-
Ter, lead, DR.. Bacchus and Gale B. Orwig,
seconds; guitar, Nat P. Tyler and Bob Dit
tenhaver; violoncello, Ray Heller. A. E.
Yeager contributed one of his superb cor
net solos and Chas. Jackson a baritone solo
of the same grade, accompanied by Mrs.
jackson. To all these musicians the officers
and men of Company F are profuse in their
thanks. The Company's shortage by the
musicale is cut squarely in two.
1t would not be bad idea for the club to
play before the neighboring towns of Wau-
seon and Defiance.

charge of stealing paint from Groschner's

been missing and he was suspected of being
the guilty one. Not denying his guilt he
returned number of buckets of paint from
his house across the canal. Marshal Burns
searched the premises and about $25 worth
has been brought to light up to date and it
is thought that enough will be discovered to
make his offense a penitentiary one. The
paint was taken out the back way from the

CAUGHT
Just as he was About to Cross the
Michigan Line.

Constable Jerry Burk of Holgate drove
through Napoleon Tuesday on his way north
in quest of one AL Hill who was wanted on
charge of securing goods under false pre-
lenses. Some hours later the faithful
Jerry returned with his man and locked him
up in the county bastile.
1t seems that Hill issued orders on Nc
Curdy & Son when he hadno money coming
from those gentlemen, thus obtaining goods,
as the charge read, under false pretenses.
Soon after, selling his property, Hill skipped
out and intended to get into Michigan as
soon as possible. He was nabbed when in
a few miles of the border.
Wednesday morning he made an offer te
settle.

BOLD ROBBERY!

Tuesday noon the Peoples Bank of Wau-

their custom all the officials and clerks went
to dinner, locking the bank and placing all
loose money in small drawer which was al

When they returned it was discovered that
thieves had entered back window having
pried the same open with chisel. The
same chisel was used in displacing lattice
work in the inner door; and still again the
instrument proved valuable tool in fore
ing the drawer open containing the cash.
Shortly after the robbery, Marshall Burns
of this place received a telephone from
somebody in Wauseon, stating the bank had
been robbed and that the thieves were head
ed for Napoleon driving mare hitched to a
light wagon. Marshal Burns Immediately
set out to intercept the thieves but saw no
traces and when about half way met Wause-
on's Marshal, who came on to Napoleon,
while Marshal Burns went to Wauseon and
thoroughly investigated the matter. He
could find nobody in town who had seen the
alleged team. Wauseon's Marshal came to
Napoleon and as he claims, found sufficient
trace to track the thieves as far as Jewell
and when last heard of was still on the road
Late Tuesday afternoon the telephone op-
orator here received message from Mau-
NEE asking if the officers were on the scent
of the bank robbers, which way they (the of
ficers) went etc., to which questions whoev.
or was talking received answers set forth
above. When asked who was doing the
talking, the reply came "the operator. y
From the nature of the questions and the
abruptness with which they ceased, it is be.
lieved now that the thieves were doing the
telephoning through the operator for til,
purpose of finding out whether or not thu
officers were on the wrong scent.
