Koppelkom & Bain's butcher shop
was burglarized last Sunday night, or
early Monday morning. The thief or
thieves forced an entrance through the
back door Of the building, and extracted
from the cash drawer between fonr and
five dollars in silver, which had been
left there to be ased as change, when
the Monday morning trade opened. Mr..
Koppe.kom came down town just before
daylight Monday morning. to build the
fires and prepare for the business of the
day, and entering the shop found the
evidences of the burglary. The latch
socket on the casing of the back door
had been forced off, and the cash drawer
was wide open, the tray sitting on the
counter with copper cent in one of the
cups. The peculiar phase of the affair
is that the till, which locks with a COM
bination, had been opened without
breaking or straining the lock. The
burglar left no clue, and there is moth

On the 10Th of April there passed over
into the unseen land, Gilman Thorne, one
of Chelsea's oldest and most worthy citi-
zens. Seventy-four years ago the 14th OF
May he was born, in the old home on the
hill where his son now resides. In that
home and the one in which he died, he
spent his life. An industrious, thrifty
farmer, genial host, a generous friend.
with wife willing to bear more than her
share of the burdens, their pleasant home
became fraught with a hospitality of
which very many have been partakers.
He was the youngest of nine children,
only one OF whom is left. He had had
heart disease for many years, and in the
winter of 1892 was victim OF la grippe.
followed by relapse, since which time
he has been an invalid.
During the last days Of his life he pray
ed much. He went down into the valley
and shadow OF death leaning upon his
Savior and rejoicing at the thought of
meeting dear ones gone before. His work
is all done, and OH how we miss him only
those can know who. too, "long for the
touch of a vanished hand" L. A. T.B.
