Much complaint is being raised i'm
the southern part of the county over
the ravages of corn thieves. 1t is said
that visits are made nightly to the
fields and a large quantity of corn has
disappeared from the shock. a few
nights ago j. J. Duncan of Taylor
township lost upward of forty bushels
and the next night fifty bushels were
taken from the Enos Neal farm near
by. SO bold have the marauders become
that farmers are getting their grain in
the crib as rapidly as possible, where it
is kept under lock and key, while
watch is kept on the fields by night
They promise if the depredations are
kept up that the coroner will be given
job ia which a microscopic examina-
tiOn will be necessary to determine
which is the deceased and which is the
load of buckshot that laid the subject
low. Corn is corn in this part of the
country just now. and il will not be
parted with lightly.-Kokomo Dispatch

Monday night coal black William
goat with an abundance of Whiskers IA
la Senator Pefferl took up a position at
the corner of Third-ave. and Bond-st
and jumped at the passers-by. Several
ladies were frightened almost into hys-
terics and ran screaming in all direc-
tons and the men who were attacked
by his goatship lost no time in getting
out of his way. Finally a dog was
coaXed to tackle the goat and chased 1t
to the corner Of ThiTd-ave and Second
st. Here William" encountered a bevy
Of fifteen or twenty girls. The girls
have a habit of coming down SecOnd-st.,
arm in arm, stretching clear across the
pavement and everybody in the road
must step aside, bu. William didn't do
it. He made for the center of the throng,
and such scattering and screaming, it
was like unto a retreat from a dynamite
bomb. The goat chased one Of the girls
down Second from Third-ave. about one
hundred feet, when officer John Kiss
niger took hand in the disturbance.
He struck the goat several blows on the
head with his club and then chased it
to the corner of Walker and Second,
where the animal was lost in the dark

A report, vague as to particulars but
seemingly well founded, comes from
Hamlet to the effect that about ten
days ago a man whose name we could
not learn came to that place from
Wheatfield, ILL.,, to visit the section fore
man on the Pittsburg road, who is his
brother-in-law. After being there a few
days he expressed a wish to take hunt,
and borrowed a gun, pair of rubber
boots and hunting coat for that purpose.
He started out in the borrowed clothes
/ one morning, leaving his own suit, a
good one, at the home of his brother
in-law since which time he has not been
seen or heard from. His relatives be-
came alarmed and organized searching
parties to hunt for him perhaps on the
third day of his absence but no trace
of him was found. Later on his wife
came from Wheatfield and urged further
search. Another party was made up
and the whole country was carefully
gone over but without any better sue
cess. No motive can be learned for his
disappearance and the affair is shroud-
! ed in mystery. Our Hamlet correspond
ent may be able to throw further light
/ on the matter next week, as we under
I stand the search is still in progress
