Five Shots Fired at Them by the

For the third time in its brief hlstor,

The burglars were undoubtedly an.
noyed about not finding n money. and
IN revenge had proceeded to wreck the
furnishings of the place. Some one had
smashed a pint bottle OF ink against the

floor.
The clock in the office had stopped
at exactly 1890, which Mr.. Tooie ascrlbes
to the concussion caused by the blowing

There are only about twenty houses
in Van Nest besides the Catholic PRO
