E. T. Noble, of McAdoo township.
called on Wednesday of last week.
He says any association of his name
with the statement made in a recent
Cre3set. as to the raising of tax, is all
fabrication. Mr.. Noble is republican
but believes that the truth should be
told in such matters; and says that
when the figures show the tax to be
lower he does not care to be quoted as
saying they are higher. Mr.. Noble is
evidently not acquainted with the
Cresset'S methods.
The term of District court will
close next Saturday. It virtually be
gan with the adjourned term on Octo-
Der 18th, and excepting one week there
has been a continuous session since
that date. We will now get vacation
until the third Tuesday in February.
One popularity of the term has been
the number of hung jurles. which has
continued several cases instead of dis.
posing of them. Considering every-
thing there has been good work done
during the regular term, which has
gone long way toward clearing the
docket.
On Monday night some party or
parties of evil inclination burglarized
w. H. Harmon's store. The bars over
a basement window were pried off with
some instrument for space large
enough to admit mans body, and the
window being raised an easy entrance
was effected. The thieves took some
potatoes. coffee and something over four
dollars from the cash drawer. Mr..
Harmon is unable to tell the exact
amount purlolned but is certain of sew
eral things, A vigilant watch has been
instituted for the burglars, aud the au-
thorities think they have struck a
pretty warm trail. Some coal was TAX
en- among other things, which would
seem to indicate that the thieves were
laying in winter supply of the neces-
saries of life. The act was certainly a
daring one.
