THE BURGLARS VISIT KENT.

The people of this town have watched with interest the reports of burglaries in surrounding towns and have rested in fancied security, not thinking that there could be anything here that would tempt professional to operate, but they were destined to be rudely awakened from their lethargy. On Thursday morning, July 25, at about o'clock, Willie Smith was awakened by an explosion and see- | ing light in the depot, promptly called his father. MT Smith thinking there might possibly be a fire in the building, armed himself with pail of water and | made quick time in that direction. When he reached the depot he found the doors of the gentlemen's waiting room open and entering saw man in the ladies waiting room. With the idea of fire in his head and not once thinking of burglars he started toward the man and asked him what was going on, whereup- on the burglar fired pistol. Whether as warning to comrades or with the intention of shooting him, Mir Smith was uncertain. The burglars then took to their heels and Mir Smith proceeded to alarm some of the people in the neigh borhood. The burglars were well out of the way by this time and no trace left by which they could be followed. In the morning it was discovered that Mrs Haxtun's house had also been entered, evidently with the purpose of providing for the inner man as nothing was dis turbed except eatables. From what MT Smith saw and also in signs found in the cellar of Mrs Haxtun's house it was evil dent that there were three men in the gang. Some time Thursday night or Friday morning Rev B. M. Wright's house was entered and some canned fruit taken. The Congregational church was broken into, and also the house of Mott Darling. The people are divided in their opinion as to whether it was the same gang that operated both nights. At the depot the safe was blown open, express packages torn to pieces, and the drawer to the desk rified. The amount obtained was small, $7 in gold, a part of box of cigars and a small compass being the amount of the haul.

PICNIC AT SCENERY GROVE.

Wednesday, July 24, was day which will long be remembered by the happy party who spent the day at Scenery grove, near the reservoir. About 10 a. m., the company met at A. H. French's, where the boats were in readiness to con- vey them to the grounds. Arriving there they found hammocks hung, iand tables, which were soon filled with good things provided by the ladies, consisting of cake, sandwiches, ice tea, lemonade, etc. While some enjoyed strolling over the grounds, others devoted their ltime fish, ing and rowing. The last scene was to witness our Mary. go-round, (not slow by any means, either) take from her hook that two pound piekerel. To be frank about it our good friend took the prize that day. About 6 p. m., Fall de- parted for their homes, united in think ing it was day we'll spent.

Ing the rulnors that the confederation of

stand united to repeal any invasion from
Mexico The Costa Rican minister ar
rived soon after tho meeting, together
with President BarrloB, of Guatemala,
and is of the same mind as the other Cen
trail American republics. The war cloud
hangs heavy over Mexico today. 1t is

boldly for Mexico's rights.

the presidents fatherintlaw is president,
upon the subject Of war with Guatemala
being broached subscription was started

del Rio as secretary. II is rumored that
hundreds of thousands will be forthcom-
ing from this source ut very short notice.
Both sides are missing troops on the
frontier, and non combdtants Are leaving
