| Harvey Croxton is in DURANGO vile
and has been assigned to quarters in
the county bastile in default of 5000
bail, to await the action of the grand
jury, charged with the theft of a
bicycle from Miles Graf. He was
caught at DEBORAH, and had his ex-
animation before Justice Woodward
Saturday morning. The accused was
sent to the State Industrial School
from this county December 81, 1891,
until 21 years of age. He but recently
returned from there and is now ac-
cused OF this crime and also of theft
of money and jewelry from family
in Saratoga during the last week.

The Milwaukee company are seri-
ously considering the changing of the
round-bed between Beulah and the
round-house. The surveyors are al
ready at work and have SURVEYED a
new line along the south bluff be-
tween Giard station and Northtown.
In this distance seveu bridges and a
few sharp curves would be dispensed
with, and the future safety of the
road-bed insured beyond the danger
line. The change will be advanta-
geous to the company in many other
respects. In time, we doubt not,
the road bed will be shifted to the
bluff the entire distance between
Beulah and North McGregor. .-Monona
