E. E. Cross Post Captured.

Last Saturday night while E. E.
Cross Post was transacting its usual
routine of business, having, in fancied
security, relaxed its vigilence, host
of Shelton women under the leader
ship of a renegade veteran, Ferris, by
name, were planning its conquest.
With stea1thy steps the outer guard
was removed without giving a single
note of warning. And just as the
Post was about to proclaim the watch
words Eternal vigilence is the price
of Liberty" the inner line was surpris-
ed and the ramparts storrned by this
determined host, So sudden and ire
sistable was the assault that an 1guo-
miuious surrender was the only re-
course. To what extent our Comma nd
er is responsible for the disaster, let
subsequent investigation disclose.
We must, however, give our captors
credit for most generous treatment.
After signing terms of capitu1ation
we were marched to an adjoining hall
and made as comfortable as circum-
stances would permit. We were put
on double rations of coffee, cake, and
other eatables.
Finally our captors escorted US back
to our old quarters and after amusing
us with various songs and entertain
ing themselves at our expense they re-
leased us all on parole of honor, ex-
cept comrades Ritner and Keelty who,
it is surmised, were taken out and
shot. RUMPUs.

Sneak Thieves Abroad.


Last Sunday evening, while Mr..
and Mrs. Jud. Becker, were spending
the evening at Vogtlin's, thieves
entered their house on Pine street.
Mrs. Becker's fine gold gift watch,
jewelry, Jud's best clothes and a
double load of canned goods and eat
ables were taken. The loss was not
noticed until Mrs. Becker started to
prepare Mondays breakfast, and
found the cupboard bare.
Sheriff Caldwell was notified, and
telephoned to all points in search of
the thieves and their plumber. Two
spectacle fakirs were arrested in E1ma,
but on search, only Il pairs of glasses
were found on them, and they were re-
leased. The Sheriff, by the way, also
lost a new suit of underclothing which
were taken from his clothes line.
Tuesday Mrs. Wells found her locket
containing the Doctors miniature, on
the front fence; and soon discovered
her watch, also gift, missing from
its accustomed place. DIR. Wells short
1y after, ordered his better half to dig
up his new Sunday pants from their
hiding place; but they, too had flown,
the thief having taken fancy to their
cloud check and stylish crease.
Being off the line of travel, Shelton
rarely has any trouble from thieves,
but we would suggest that house hold
ers be more careful in tn e future, lock
their doors and load their firearms.
The Sheriff is still looking for clues.
