villainy have developed a character as
shrewd and ingenious as 1t IL pitiless and

Another interesting idea from the west is
a tornado proof house. 1t revolves on a

Burglars may some day have cause to
dread a device which has been patented for

the robber steps upon a space in front Of

Is released by his weight and fash-light

burned last evening from fire that
started in the barn of David Dewitt,
